I went foraging for vegetable bargains at the Reading Terminal Market today. I found several at the big produce stand in the back. But I also found a packet of swiss chard seeds (Fordhook) in a plant stall. The package says they'll come to maturity in 50-60 days; that they will tolerate a light frost; and that they will grow nicely in partial shade and in containers. Sounds like the perfect vegetable chez moi.
I have two big containers holding nothing more important than volunteer feverfew and perilla, both of which are abundant in yet still other containers, so I think I'll plant me some swiss chard this evening. Mmmmmm... fresh vegetables from the garden in South Philly.
Oh, and the peaches from my potted peach pit seedling tree are ripening, too.
