Never had this happen before. Its been a strange year tho as I planted my yellow and green string beans same day and only the yellow sprouted.

Bright Lights, to me, tastes just like the rest of the chards. I've
grown at least 2 varieties besides Bright Lights (or 5 color as it's

of some other green?
