  Okay I'm hopping on the "Bright Lights" swiss chard bandwagon. Have you
seen this? It has to be one of the most spectacular veggies to come along
in awhile, and I bet its tasty too. You can get it from one of a dozen
catalogs, but I think Johnny's was the first to grab it up.  
   I grew Swiss Chard "Rhubarb" last year, it was beautiful and kept
growing and growing and growing, until I finally just pulled it up in late
October. It was one of the easiest plants I've ever grown (full sun, in a
raised bed with plenty of compost on a soaker hose) I would grow it again
this year, if not for the Bright Lights variety. 
   I also hope to grow more kinds of lettuce and greens because they seem
to do so well in the maritime northwest. 
    Seed Savers Heritage Farm just sent out their new catalog with some
beautiful varietes from around the world, I'm hoping to try some. 
    What have you seen that you plan to try?
