Someone I knew years ago grew chard and beets near each other. She was giving the advice not to do that, if you save seeds. She was upset by getting somewhat smaller chard with smallish beets. I thought it sounded great.
Looks great Larry! That's funny - I worked my way from the bottom up, and I wondered what that was above the chard! I'll be curious how the water chestnuts do - that's another thing I've wanted to try, and thought that it might do well in hydroponics.
This was our harvest Saturday. Two okra, which DH grilled last night with the chicken, and lots of peppers. DH has been picking green and a few purple beans every morning; I made about a half pound into a pint and a half of Szechuan pickled green beans and we've been eating the rest. Tomatoes are taking their sweet time, but they're looking good.

It's from a book, but I know it's online. I'll make a post with a link and a photo of mine in the preserves forum (or whatever it's called lol).Please post your recipe for the Szechuan pickled green beans!
