I had to remind myself I had my youngest at the nursery that day. We got rainbow radishes, rainbow green beans, rainbow chard... She likes her colors! The plants were very pretty. I had them in a spot right outside my kitchen door but had thought to add them to the flower border as well next time they were so pretty. Taste good too!

Bright Lights Chard was what I tried to grow this year, and we ended up with a single chard, that then got bitten off by a predator. You can see the story here: <a href="http://inadvertentgardener.wordpress.com/2006/09/25/state-of-the-greens">State of the Greens</a> and here: <a href="http://inadvertentgardener.wordpress.com/2006/10/07/friendly-swiss-chard-and-gnocchi">Swiss Chard and Gnocchi</a>. But this is good inspiration for next year... :-) Genie Kenny,
