Allotments 4 All

Apart from the bird, everything from the allotment.  Why multicoloured?  Mixed coloured stems from the bright lights chard, mixed coloured dried beans, red tomatos, long green french beans, yellow and green courgette, the chook, and a soup made from the chook bones, a generous dollop of spicy pumpkin chutney and a good glass of white vino.  Delicious!!  Thick and umptious and sweet and spicy and crunchy, and those chard stems have a definate citrus like twang.  YUM!

So what did you do with the Chard leaves??

used em for mulch I bet ;) ;D

I am the same here, like chard stems but not the leaves ... somehow they didnt get planted this year ...

Oooo, I love the leaves and they are in the fridge.  Ava might have them tonight with his lamb chops, glazed in red gooseberry chutney.  ;D

Lucky s-d!!

Of course - the leaves are what it's all about? The stems are a bonus??
