Chard: the Miracle Vegetable

This stuff is amazing.  It's really nutritious, tastes good, easy to cook, decorative in the kitchen garden, isn't fazed by hot, humid summers, and shrugs off the first few frosts of late Autumn.  Oh, and it's easy to start from seed right in the bed.  I just cut a bunch of it to have as part of Thanksgiving dinner yesterday.  The stems are like cooked celery (but less stringy) and the leaves cook just like spinach.  This is Swiss Chard 'Bright Lights' with stems of red, orange, yellow and white.
