Swiss Chard

Yesterday April 9th, I planted four Swiss Chard (Bright Lights) plants in my flower garden. Yes, I know they are vegetables, but they are colorful and I think they will be a rather attractive addition to my garden spot. Of course I will eat the Chard.

See how colorful the stems of the chard are.

Last year at the annual plant sale, I bought this un-named plant which also has interesting leaves. I can't help but think it is also in the chard family. Does anyone recognize it?
