The Fridley Farmer : Chard vs. Rhubarb

What’s the difference between these two images?

If you said “Why, it’s the same image, the first one is just zoomed in a little bit!”, then you’d be right. So why did I insult your intelligence with such an obvious question?

Because Burpee is using the same image both for chard and for rhubarb! And because I accidentally bought Chard which I didn’t want.

Granted,the name “Chard Burpee’s Rhubarb” does include the word Chard in the name. In my defense though, I had just finished buying “Banana Legs Tomatoes” (which are neither banana, nor leg) and I can’t think of anyone who has ever said “hey, I’m growing chard this year!”.

I ended up buying rhubarb elsewhere (Burpee doesn’t carry rhubarb seeds, just transplant roots) and I guess we’re going to have some chard this year.
