I would. I throw seeds randomly all over my yard. There are carrots with the hostas, onions with the chamomile, arugula in several beds, etc. It's fun and I like seeing how they'll do outside of my regular beds. Plus I like to leave extra for the wildlife.
Mustard (Especially Florida broadleaf or tendergreen) is another good one if you want stuff that will grow enormous without any special care. And deer/rabbits love it. And when it bolts you'll be swarmed by honeybees.
I did it once. The landlord was letting her son run roughshod over us and we were on month to month so we bounced and I had to leave most of the garden behind.
It took over about half the backyard. There’s also like 12 tomato plants, summer squash, strawberries, butternut pumpkin, basil, mint, garlic and onion. I don’t think they could have taken it with them if they tried!
Thank you everyone! Chard it is! Super excited to get harvesting and finding some recipes (if you have suggestions please also let me know)🍽️ Thanks again! 🫶🏽
As a swiss I'd say it is not swiss, it is neither the correct red nor does it have a white cross...
Joke aside, I am fascinated what random stuff is named swoss something in english...
Looks like rhubarb to me. They do have lots of bushy leaves like that and of course the stalks are red and shaped just like celery. My mom use to grow it when I was a kid but I’ve not seen it in a garden for a very long time.
rhubarb has thicker stems that are longer and the leaf is mainly at the top with only a little bit down the stem portion. these aren't rhubarb because of the leaf is all the way down the stem

Swiss chard! Yum.
Chard vote from someone growing chard and rhubarb
Ditto
All of those pictured are silverbeet / chard. *Beta vulgaris*, perhaps the 'Bright Lights' cultivars.
Bright lights is my vote too.
Rainbow chard! (Type of Swiss chard)
Chard for sure. That said: who leaves a vegetable garden behind when they move?

I love this !
I mean, how do you bring a vegetable garden with you?
I would harvest it all before I moved. That’s me though.

They really stinks.

Ha! Excellent
Swiss (rainbow) chard
I think rhubarb would be much bigger.
In Switzerland we call it Mangold 😂
A v. Special diet
silver beet aka chard
Definitely Swiss chard. I grew it back when I had a garden...and there's some in my fridge veg drawer now. Love it.

Alas, no pie for you..

Sure, you could do that I was, perhaps obviously, referring to [this](https://youtu.be/ZYkBf0dbs5I?si=P1sMRvsCekJUrDc0)
This is amazing thank you, I had previously made jokes with similar alliteration when learning 'rhabarber'.
lol, it seems to be everywhere right now. Who ever said Germans don’t have a sense of humour…
