You're the best!<br /><br />Liz -- We do not milk our goats, although I suppose we could if we really wanted to. They are angoras, bred for mohair not milk production. Guess it would be like milking a hereford beef cow? Their udders, when full, are about half the size of a dairy goat's, so it would be a lot of work for not much reward!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941280453570504094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-15258162226520705352010-05-17T05:27:18.250-05:002010-05-17T05:27:18.250-05:00Lovely photos.

The Internet is great though isn't it.

Rain is such an amazing thing for gardens.<br /><br />Since you mentioned you've never grown Swiss chard before, I'll just chime in and warn you that each plant can and will get REAL BIG if you give them plenty of room and lots of water, so plan for that. (Best with a square foot each at a minimum.) It's one of my favorite vegetables - better than spinach for fresh steamed or braised greens, I think. Tender and mild and none of the chalky aftertaste.Thistledoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685461283886507370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-76522482610542332522010-05-15T23:00:36.528-05:002010-05-15T23:00:36.528-05:00Wow, Jo, your garden is going great guns!

I agree with Farmer Rick . . . you labeled your spinach and Swiss chard correctly.<br /><br />So much fun to take a "walk" through other gardens.
