Swiss chard


On the left you can see the Swiss chard growing healthily, forby suffering a few bits. These are rugged plants that provide delicious greens, that are extremely versatile in the kitchen. They can be baked with potatoes into gratin with gruyere, of course. cooked to make a pasta sauce, cooked with beans to add depth of flavour and colour, and much more. They especially thrive in the winter, when there is nothing popping along to eat on them besides us. If you do not have at least one of these plants in your garden, one is sometimes enough, then it is time to sow those seeds and get it added. Any time is almost possible for these plants, depending on the growing zone your garden is located within.
