Thanks for this info, Linda.

I can't imagine not watering chard here. It seems to crave a lot of water or get rather wilty soon.

Unrelated to the above, I've noticed a number of 'rogues' in the most recent planting. They have HUGE beet-like roots that protrude above ground. Strangely, their tops are identical to those of their surrunding 'beet-less' sister plants.

Thanks again -Allan


Hi Allan,
we have never irrigated our chard (or silverbeet as it's called here in New
Zealand),
