In Praise of Chard

I'm not, nor have I ever been, the biggest fan of Swiss Chard. However I am getting more and more impressed with it. I sowed some in June and again in August purely because we had been given some seeds. It's still growing. It seems to be less popular with the slugs than the other leafy greens on my plot (which have been devoured). You can put the young leaves in salad (although I wouldn't, eurhg!), but it is amazing in soups and stir frys. And (as I think is self evident in my success in its cultivation) is fairly idiot proof. Just be careful who you give your excess to. I have friend who gave away some ruby chard, which then got put into a crumble. Honest.
