I keep a raised bed between 2 coops of chickens, yearly. It is very easy to grow and last through the hot summer with daily watering as I service the flocks. I harvest it as a cut (large outside leaves ) & come again. This year my husband built a high tunnel frame for it to extend the harvest into early winter. When it is finally finished, we clean out one of the coops right into the bed, turn it in & it is ready for seed early next spring. The "Girls" love their beautiful chard!
