Swiss Chard is one of my favorite vegetables. Half leafy green and half fibrous crunch, it has a multitude of uses. I particularly like to saute the stems with carrots, onions and carrots when I'm making soup and then stir the shredded greens into broth just before serving. It's a great veggie for beginning gardeners, because it grows abundantly, giving you a whole lot of return on a small amount of investment. It's also a very lovely looking veggie, a feature demonstrated by the picture you see up there.
Thanks Nina, for sharing your Swiss Chard picture with us!
