My favorite way to cook it is to sweat some onions in bacon grease and then add the chard, stir it good and let it sort of simmer in that yummy goodness. You might need to add a tiny bit of water but usually you won't need to. If you like it, add a touch of balsamic vinegar.

We had a really heavy rain storm after the chard had flowered. Now I am just hoping I can keep it alive until it can produce seeds. I'll update the blog if I get seeds.

Who doesn't like a little rainbow in their garden bed! We like it because it doesn't bolt in the heat the way spinach does. We've never tried to save our own seed from either plant though. That is something we'd like to start doing more of.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8521743532397166870.post-50069333307194611482014-06-03T17:20:16.970-05:002014-06-03T17:20:16.970-05:00I still post some, but not nearly as strong as whe...I still post some, but not nearly as strong as when we both started.
