i credit swiss chard for my gardening interests now. in my first ever garden, in my first ever own (rented) home...i planted a small veggie patch. absolutely everything failed. everything, that is...except for the chard. it got to be winter, in toronto, a foot of snow...and i was still out in the backyard in snow boots with a pair of scissors...collecting greens for dinner.
it was unstoppable.
the cockroach of the plant world.
i love swiss chard.
