Our six garden plots look like nothing so much as burial plots for 6 unfortunate elephants. In fact, I said a little service for our dearly departed Merty, Gerty, Flirty, Berty, Lloyd, and Gus. May they rest in peace.
Now we just have to add water, and hope that the elephants are keeping the babies warm and helping them sprout.

Ok - we get chard from our CSA and, other then toss it in a salad or with pasta, what the heck do you do with it?!

ReplyDeleteOK, Ms. M., I was going to send you links to a few delicious-looking chard recipes, but there are too many. Go to www.foodnetwork.com and look up chard. So many fun, vegetarian ideas!
