Impressive Swiss chard
I've grown Swiss chard for many years, always enjoying its relatively disease-free growth. In recent years however, I've appreciated how ample fertilization (I normally use sustained release organic fertilizer from Espoma) enhances growth. These impressive leaves benefited from composted well-aged manure, too. I've been admiring them in the vegetable garden here in Quebec, but with cooler temperatures was tempted to harvest some of them. There's not a freeze in sight yet, but I'm starting to clean up the spent sugar peas, and will be checking on the zucchini as temperature dip.
