Steady producer
by Kathryn
Currently have these growing under lights in zone 5/6 and have others ready to plant out under cover. Last well in the heat of summer up here provided they are in partial sun. Great producer and good taste.
Good food, good looks

This grew did very well for us in 2021. Standard chard size and flavor but it adds a nice pop of color to the garden. Late in the season we had some leaves turn a very dark red in color.
