Things you say every year.

This year I'm not going to plant as much and take a big break!

While I'm thinking, "But oh wait, we really like to eat __________ and it's never as good at the grocery store."

I'd love to take a year off and support farmer's markets, but around here with all of the touristy stuff, everything at our frou-frou farmer's markets often costs an arm and a leg. Can't afford to support local farmers and we love good food, so we garden.

Aye it can need protecting under mesh.

Chard is pretty bomb-proof if you sow it at the right time for it not to bolt.

I did Swiss Chard last year and it did seem to do well! I may plant some more of that this year.

It's the only thing in our area that the worms don't eat. Therefore, we eat it haha!
