Topic: chard
It may freeze tonight so I ran out and gathered all the zuchinni (poor puny little things) and a grocery bag packed full of chard. I didn't have the heart to pull the chard plants so as usual I just picked off the biggest leaves, just in case it doesn't freeze hard tonight. It's been a good year for chard. Many of them were transplanted on top of salmon carcasses. The largest plants were in the sunniest bed. I think in previous years I've been starving and shading my chard.
The kale this year is doing fantastic, whereas in past years it just did well. It seems to be less picky than chard. It enjoys a light frost so although I have much more to harvest, blanch and freeze, I didn't pick any more. I have enough chard now to keep us fed for a few days.
