Seeds/Swiss chard
Not soapy at all, to my tastes. "Bright lights" is the variety with all the
colors. I love it and plant plenty of it each year. It's just about the perfect plant, IMO. It looks great, it tastes great, it keeps going in the heat of summer, and lasts long into the fall. (I harvest individual leaves, not the entire plant.) Now cilantro--that's soapy! cheers, Sue -- " Chard to you :-) we also use it for spinach too. because we never used to have that commonly. But now we can get bok choy and lots of differents greens including real spinach. Ohhhhhh, taste kind of soapy .. but at least they have them in gorgeous colors now.. yellow, orange, pink, red and kind of blushes between them. ;-) Soapy? Have they bred the tannic flavour out? I've got a bunch of those coloured ones patiently waiting for me to plant them out, eventually ... -- Cheers, Loki [ Brevity is the soul of wit. W.Shakespeare ] |

I was just going to plant it for winter. :-) Now cilantro--that's soapy! Darn, I've forgotten what that is in English. -- Cheers, Loki [ Brevity is the soul of wit. W.Shakespeare ] |

I tried Bright Lights last year and the stalks were gorgeous in the
seedling tray but some of them turned white when I moved them outdoors. Am I missing something in my soil? Maybe there was too much sun or water? Any insight would be appreciated. |
