Mar16 Hi, Jojo, thanks for reanidg! I had to look up Swiss chard and apparently it comes from Sicily. Seed sellers just started calling it Swiss chard to differentiate from French chard. Anyway, it's a delicious dark leafy green that is apparently related to beets!We did not name our kid Neko because it's the Japan word for cat, but we did discover that while we were looking into the name. And still thought it was cool. :)
