Plant of the Day
Saturday 1 January 2022
Happy plant filled new year!
No fireworks to celebrate but the exuberant colours from the stems of Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla var. flavescens 'Bright Lights' (rainbow chard, Swiss chard). Adding colour to the productive garden this nutrient-rich vegetable will produce leaves throughout the seasons but some people do not like the ‘earthy’ flavour.
