Chard, so pretty

The Swiss chard in my garden has been a big success this year! Both of my plantings of it overwintered, I've gotten many harvests out of it, and its added such a lush look to the garden.


Most of all though, it's so pretty!

Crinkled leaves...


...and crinkled stems:


Starting to bloom now, so I'll soon be ripping it out.


So pretty though!




Do you have Swiss chard in your garden? If not, why not give it a try? Delicious, nutritious, beautiful.

    Great pictures, really love that first one! I don't grow chard because I don't really like it, but it's so pretty I'm tempted now. Wonder how it would do in flower arrangements :)

    They look like abstract paintings.
