I enjoyed Verde de Taglio last year. I also liked Barese. Perpetual Spinach was pretty good too. I found chard, when well watered and picked somewhat small went well in fresh salads when mixed with lettuce. My wife wasn't a huge fan of it. I liked these varieties better than the Neon Lights ones I've grown in the past, but then again I was more interested in eating the leaf and not the stems. I'm trialing some of the 'best tasting' heat tolerant head lettuce this summer from Wild Garden Seed.
