shade tolerant veggies

That's very helpful! Thanks! Where do you get those veggies? I would like to try one.

Mm. Gives me incentive to plant more chard next year, IF I can control those bloody cabbage worms!

Anyone know if BT is dangerous to humans and ok if sprayed on leafy greens and eaten shortly afterwards?

My experiance is that bush snap and shell beans will tolerate some shade. Actually, they can take ore shade than potatoes, though less than lettuce and parsley.

You sure those were cabbage worms? Chard is totally unrelated to the cabbage family. It's related to beets and spinach (one-time family Chenopodiaceae, now Amaranthaceae). T

I have had ongoing problems with leaf-miners in chard and beets.

Listed as safe to use up to day of harvest. (Wash those leafy greens throroughly before cooking!)

Well, they mostly tried to demolish the Broccoli that was next to them, I think they ate some of the chard "just because".

Here are pics. They destroyed the Horseradish utterly:

And be sure to actually cook them. Wonder about lettuce tho'.

Perhaps a vinnagrette. ;-)

bit like some sort of army worm. (Army worms' favorite food plants are grasses, but they'll settle for eating just about anything. And they tend to appear in masses, thus the "army.")

I think the one thing that helped keep them off the chard more was the fact that I planted a patch of Pennyroyal that happily grew in around it.

Thanks for the ID! I've had a lot of trouble with those things but I'm sure BT would work for them.

huh?

Yeah.

I don't understand the post either, plus that's not how usenet works anyway!

Could be wrong, but I think they're wanting to harvest email addresses.

Except they don't even have a workable email themselves.
