Sowed chard

3 joined pots in vermiculite, each with 4 seeds.

Chard is one of my all-time favourite things to have in the garden!

==> continual harvest all season long, from earliest spring, through hottest summer, to last days of fall

==> easy to grow, targeted by few insects (so far all I've had to deal with are slugs, easy to rehome them)

==> takes up hardly any space, nice and compact

==> versatile in the kitchen:  raw as salad, add to stir-fries, great in soups

==> easy to freeze, don't even have to blanch

Hoping for another great long harvest of chard this year.
