Came across this 2014 picture from my old farm. "Late Spring, cleaning out this bed so I can re-set it with flowers and more salad greens. Look at that Rainbow Chard! Wow! Sure wish I LIKED Chard - I just think it's pretty. The bright green lettuce is 'Black Seeded Simpson' which holds a long time and doesn't bolt."

I miss that place some days, but only because it was so familiar and established, having lived there for 20+ years. Miss my 40' asparagus patch the most, LOL! Beau built all of the raised beds for me when we was Courtin'. He knew the way to my heart, for sure! The 'kids' that bought my little farm are doing an awesome job keeping it up and improving it, so she fell into the right hands when I sold her.

I LOVE chard and wish mine would grow that big....would make it easier packing my lunch only having to cut off one big leaf and stem.

Btw....where did you get that shot glass that is in front of the raised bed? Need one that size.....to celebrate my official promotion to SGT!
