I heart swiss chard, it's mild, hardy and rainbow colored. I have heard it is essentially a "beetless" beet. Which is pretty cool, dude.
Overview:
Swiss chard is a genial sort, it can get through cold times, and doesn't get chrochety during hot times. Can be harvested at any size.
Problems: Pests and regular issues that are usually due to poor growing conditions.
Planting: Direct sow two weeks after last frost, or can be started indoors.
Harvest: Whenever you like, good sir.
This year I am growing Five Color Silverbeet. Harvestable in 50-60 days. Min. soil temperature should be at least forty degrees before planting.
