My Swiss Chard is growing fast--I hope it won't go to seed just yet. I have had chard grow through the whole year, and I have had it go to seed two months after planting. I like chard, it is versatile as you can stir-fry the stems and leaves, or use the leaves like spinach in a variety of dishes. The stem color stays the same if it you saute it lightly, which is especially pretty if you have the different colors of Bright Lights Swiss Chard. I think now most vegetables come in a rainbow of colors--including carrots, corn, radishes, beans, tomatoes, and lettuce. Children would be intrigued with these colorful vegetables and would be more likely to eat them if they grew some themselves.
