Good short season crop - and colorful too!
by Jennifer
I'd never grown, cooked, or eaten Swiss Chard before purchasing a packet of this Silverbeet. The colors were enticing so I thought I'd try it. It grew easily and without much attention paid to it, even with my incredibly short growing season. Soon, I had a thick bed of bright, colorful Swiss Chard. I used it in salads as well as interchangeably with Spinach. Good stuff!
Grew beautifully!
