new chard
The Swiss Chard is growing nicely,
but there are a few gaps in the rows. So I stuck a few more saved seed into the soil today.

My chard is looking fantastic too :) It's the first year I've ever grown it...I planted one plant of rainbow chard...and I would've never grown it had it not been for you :)
So glad I inspired you to grow chard! I love it because it just keeps going all season, and is so versatile. Let me know if you need some recipes!
I will totally be hitting you up for recipes eventually :D I just hope mine has enough room...it's next to an eggplant and a brocolli and they're both getting pretty big and overshadowing it...I had no idea how big brocolli plants got! I love their leaves though!
Yeah, I keep forgetting how big the plants get too. I know I gave my broccoli enough room this year- they look really extra-spaced out right now as the plants are still small- but afraid I planted my chard too close together. Oops.
