Week 15 - Bed EX5 Planting

We finished cultivating this lazy-bed down to a fine seedbed and sowed 3 long rows
  • Rhubarb Chard (south 1/2 of long row) - rich ruby-red leaf stalks and dark green/purple foliage
  • Swiss Chard (north 1/2 of long row) - dark green leaves with broad white ribs
  • Barbietola di Chioggia Beetroot (1 long row) - a mild-flavoured italian, pink skin variety with white flesh and pink rings
  • Storuman Beetroot (1 long row) - fast growing globe beetroot, which can be used as both summer and main-crop
