We finally got into the 50's today(13C) so I'm back in short pants. ![](http://www.radioparadise.com/scripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/icon_mrgreen.gif) There is still lots of snow in my cottage garden, but these 'Bright Lights' Swiss Chard from last year made their appearance! ![](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_3wtmNwzoTkg/TYF3uiOo0PI/AAAAAAAAA48/cLS-bhgyclU/s800/100_4038.JPG) ![](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_3wtmNwzoTkg/TYF6ECAw6wI/AAAAAAAAA5E/vIAKCn7xyd4/s800/100_4069.JPG)

Wow, I knew it was hardy stuff, but that's pretty impressive.

Enjoy it while it's young as it will bolt to seed as soon as the temperaures warm up.

Wow...that's one tough plant. It'll take your winter and it'll take a good portion of our extreme hot down here.
