Exactly! :giggle:

And thanks Popster for the suggestions. Is perpetual spinach the same as chard, or is it different?

No, perpetual spinach isn't chard, but it is the same species of plant. Perpertual spinach is a beet but tastes like spinach. It has smaller leaves and has been bred not to go to seed/bolt like spinach does. It just goes on and on, as in the 'perpetual bit' :giggle:
