Chard - Verde da Taglio (14-1)

Can't wait to grow these! Great company to deal with.

This is my go to green. Large crops and tasty leaves on this chard make me keep coming back for more. I usually harvest 3 crops after planting in early June in Wisconsin. I do not enjoy eating chard stems, and this variety puts most of it's effort into growing huge leaves. This is my 10th season growing this chard, and it never fails regardless of the type of summer we have. I enjoy it in all dishes that usually ask for spinach, but this chard surpasses spinach in taste, and it never bolts.

I planted this early in the spring and despite attacks from leaf minors,this was an extremely productive and tasty green that not only gave me a lot to eat in the spring,summer and fall-but also over wintered without protection(zone 7) and I'm still eating from it as of today (January 24) It is also a more tender leaf than other chards-less of a metallic or soil tasting chard.
I just love it over any other chard.

We have grown bieta verde for fifteen years,. In some patches, we rplant the stems that have grown more than six inches above the soil; yon cut the stem ean inch below the leaves, trim the leaves and plant again in fertile soil to create
eternal produce. We do this with many crops like tomatoes and broccoli.

Lush, leafy plant with almost NO STEMS! I hate stems. Grows like a champ even in very warm weather, no pests in my garden. Sowed it too thick and cut it too short but it came back strong anyway. We love the taste flavorful without being at all grassy. Sweet and mild.
