Chard

I can't remember how long ago exactly, but the kids and I started chard, basil, and nasturtium.

I don't have a good light set up so I always have leggy seedlings.

I decided to place some of the chard seedlings out in the cold frame. About half.

The ones inside will get leggy and will outgrow their egg cartons.

The ones outside will die because:
1. They were too young to transplant
2. A bug or fungus will eat them
3. I will cook them in the cold frame, long before they've grown big enough for cooking
4. Some other killer I've yet to experience

OR we will get lucky and have beautiful rainbow chard in a month.

Stay tuned.
