so, i had said that it was the end of the chard a few posts ago, but i decided to let the chard march on, trimming back the old leaves to try to bring life back to the plants. all it took was a few days and we had another harvest for dinner. chard is a kind of green that is easy to grow and does not bolt due to heat...at least not easily.
why is the title, "kids and the garden"? well, our kids would have never eaten chard if it was not for the garden. i find that they go outside and pick chard leaves and eat them raw!!
