Cathy-  I agree with you Olin... Swiss Chard is a beautiful looking plant
that gets about 2' by 2', vase shaped. The leaves are the parts you eat.
They are a beet relative. I use the "Bright Lights" seeds for ornamental
value in my front yard flower and shrub beds. The stalks are beautiful and
the leaves are shiny dark green. You can add the leaves (younger is tastier)
to your salad like romaine.

|
| Female flowers have a small fruit which resembles the adult fruit at the
| blossom stem.  Males don't.  Believe this is true of all cucurbits.

|
| Good substitute for spinach but not as strong.  Easier to grow.  Can be
| used raw as a lettuce substitute or as garnish.  One of my favorite
| vegetables.
