Rhubarb Chard

September 7, 2009

Picture 014

Fall is finally upon us. Here is one of many Chard plants in the greenhouse. These plants are in the “Chenopodiaceae” family and are related spinach, quinoa and beets. The seeds contain more than one plant and must be thinned in order for the seedlings to properly mature. Chard, spinach and beets become sweeter with cold weather and can tolerate frost well.
