Silverbeet is a versatile and easy-care vegetable that thrives in most conditions. You can harvest the outer leaves while the inner ones continue to grow, making it an ongoing source of fresh greens. Regular water supply ensures a continuous harvest, and the multi-coloured stems can be used in cooking, much like celery.
