I would like some advice on the number of times a person can harvest chard
and/or kale on a commercial basis. We usually just strip the leaves from
the plants, let them grow large again, and then harvest again. Seems like
the quality of the leaves does deteriorate after a few cuttings and
insects then seem to attack-especially aphids. Also, if we cut the chard
down to the crown, will the new growth be as healthy as new plants would
be?
