they call the red kind silverbeet? i thought that was only the green kind they called silverbeet? pickled beets used to be a staple here, but we ate so many of them that we got "fed up" with them... so we're taking a break.
I mostly just plant Fordhook Giant and they call that silver beet. Not sure about the rest, so I looked it up and I guess silver beet is also known as Swiss chard. Fordhook Giant has green leaves and white stems and the reason I grow it is because it seems to be the only one that really comes back in the spring.
