I have a small inner city place, equipped with a rather spacially restricted balcony. The latest obsession is filling this space with green delight and this blog is intended to bear witness to my feeble green thumb attempts.

Harvest Monday in Adelaide
While housesitter B is enjoying the spoils of the balcony garden I am here in Adelaide making do with the treasures in my parent's garden. Not that I am without a harvest. There is chard, chard and more chard. Red stemmed chard,
Yellow stemmed and curly chard,
And the most pretty of them all, orangey stemmed chard.
All chardy and all utterly delicious. And still so much of it left to eat. We eat a bit of this steamed almost every night and yet it never seems to deplete. Yay for parents and their gardens. If you want to see posts with different veggies head on over to Daphne's Dandelions for all the harvest news.




I'm at my parents house at the moment too, but on the other side of the world. Lovely chard!
ReplyDeleteThat is some beautiful chard! Nothing wrong with lots of greens, I say.
ReplyDeleteNice chard for a balcony garden - for that matter, a earth garden too.
ReplyDeleteThat is some nice looking chard. It really does seem to grow faster then you can pick it.... I should have some for dinner tomorrow :-)
ReplyDeleteI love chard for just that reason. It never quits. It just goes on and on. I do need more plants next year though. At least twice as many. I need to freeze more for winter.
ReplyDeleteThat orangey chard looks really beautiful, do you know hoe that variety is called?
ReplyDeleteThose are some really pretty colorful chard you have there at your parents!
