Very nice! I’ve got my 2 rhubarbs under garbage cans…
What’s the difference between rhubarb and Swiss chard?
I do that quite a lot to be honest just what out for sneaky snails if you plant something else there. They like the leaves but not the stems.
You can't eat the leaves on rhubarb just the stem it's more juicy and sour and I have never made swiss chard crumble.
Yeah no eating the rhubarb leaves…
So you can eat Swiss chard leaves?
Yes, still tastes better cooked.
Swiss chard is just beets that have been bred for leaf development as opposed to root.
I forced mine last year so they're getting a rest, it does make a difference to the spinach teeth effect though!
Really… that’s very interesting thank you
They are more delicate and tastier than just beet greens tho.
It’ll be my first yeah growing g them… are they perennials?
No they die back with a hard freeze.
Ah ok!
I'm surprised this one hasn't bolted since it went through the winter and we haven't had rain for 3 weekd
I’ve been thinking the same thing about my endive and radicchio.
It rains shield bugs whenever I harvest!
