I'm cutting and eating chard regularly. I have several colors, it all tastes the same, but I can go for striking effects if I want. Red, pink, orange, yellow, green, and white stalks all make my early garden a very striking place. And I'm cutting it and taking it in to work already. I've cultivated a new chard eater, but if I take too much I might inspire the gag reflex, so I think I'll be looking around for preservation methods or more folks to give it to. These are out of two pots of mixed colors I bought from Home Depot last fall.

Bobert, your potatoes have eyes before you put them in your garden, don't they? And how far apart do you place each potato? I have a neighbor who grows them, I need to go visit his garden and take a look. He got a couple of bushels last year, he said.
