| White, pink, and yellow Swiss chard in our garden |
During the hottest months of the year, our salad gardening is fairly boring.
Swiss chard with a few scraps of things like lambs quarters, nasturtium leaves, carrots, radishes, etc fill our bowls. With the cooler weather comes the fall/winter salad crops. We will be planting a salad mix called
Rocky Top in the next few days. Our
kale has weathered the summer and is beginning to put on new growth. We've never over-summered kale before, so we aren't sure how it will go. The mighty chard will continue to produce for us even in cooler weather. It, along with the lettuce mix can handle some light frosts before dieing back. If the kale reemerges as we expect, it should produce for us well into the winter.
