chard for days!



It was time. Time to do a final harvest of the remaining summer greens and prep the beds for Round 3: Winter Planting. Coming soon, near you!

The chard had grown to monster proportions - easily 3 ft tall! In all the hubbabaloo of things, I'd failed to harvest before the week+ long vacation, and there they were, ready to bust through the anti-cat netting. I was afraid they'd be bitter, but that's the good thing about bitter greens - they don't go any more bitter than what you loved about them in the first place! These were FABULOUS, and definately the most healthy dark glossy chard I'd ever seen - grocery pickings just don't even come close!
