Hi George - Beet greens are the tops of beets. I like beets but hubby is not very keen on them tho he likes the beet greens. I tend to plant them closely as I'm after a larger harvest of the tops than the beets themselves. Can't describe the difference in taste, except to say that I find there is a difference.

I've grown at least 2 varieties besides Bright Lights (or 5 color as it's known in some catalogs). Isn't chard just beet greens or am I thinking of some other green? George
