Title: Chard/leaf beet
Post by: terrace max on November 29, 2005, 20:45:42
Stumbled across this article:

Thought it was interesting in a November-not-much-better-to-do sort of way....

I have started writing my notes in a big notebook because i don't want to access the computer everytime I want to jot something down.

I can't believe how easy chard is to grow.

I also found a snippet that says:  silverbeet & swiss chard are selections of beetroot that fail to develp a bulbous base but are grown for their leaf harvest.

So I gather they are the same family as beetroot not just 'beets' ;D
