    Started these seeds indoors and they did so well! They ate now three times the size, super healthy and go great in stews! The color is awesome! I only got pink and orange/red but I also only planted 5 seeds so hopefully next year I get more mixture in color!

    One of my favorite greens to keep around the garden, i always prefer getting the colored mixes because of the visual interest that it adds to the garden (and to the dinner plate!)
