3034PS Perpetual Spinach or Leaf
Beet (55 days) Open-pollinated. Thanks to Pam
Dawling who suggested we add this member of the chard family. Leaf beet should
be cultured like any other chard variety. It looks similar to other swiss
chards, but its stems are thinner, and its exceptionally tender leaves are
smoother, not puckered. It tastes unlike any other chard, imparting a
spinach-like flavor that lingers pleasantly. Unlike spinach, Perpetual lasts
through summer into fall as it withstands light and moderate frosts. Production
from June to October, reports one central Vermont grower. Dawling calls it a
must-grow.
