Quote of the Moment
"There is no gardening without humility. Nature is constantly sending even its oldest scholars to the bottom of the class for some egregious blunder." ~Alfred Austin, 1951
We're a family of four living in semi-rural Central Florida (Zone 9b) with a brand new square foot garden. We used to have a 468 square foot vegetable garden, but it was a wash out - literally. I'm Kate and I have a devastating case of black thumb. We had originally planned on growing a magnificent vegetable garden so we could rely less on the grocery store produce aisle and more on ourselves, but so far the green thumb remains elusive. We'll continue to plant with the hopes that eventually we'll learn enough to make this unskilled gardening gig worthwhile. Until then this blog will feature a mix of gardening exploits, kid crafts & learning, living green, raising a small flock of urban chickens, and life in Central Florida.

Well, it's obviously tasty.
? Not convinced you know why !
After all, if it's coloured - it's called Rainbow Chard, and the whiter variety is normally referred to as Zilver
Slugs? At least it still looks edible.
Slugs? Hail? Chickens? I'm quite sure I've never eaten Swiss Chard.
Gary Jen and Ruby - I was just being funny.... saying that my Swiss Chard looks like Swiss Cheese with all the holes in it... I wasn't being serious.
Stef/Donna - I don't see ANY bugs out there...about 1/2 is holey and 1/2 is fine. I'll have to harvest ASAP! And would you guys eat holey chard???
