the vegetable garden at Chenonceau


Here are some examples of different types of chard grown in the vegetable garden (today is a "three-fer").  The leaves on these plants are huge and the colors of the stems are really intense.  This is a very small sample of the variety and beauty to be found here.  I won't even start now on the flowers but save them for you for a later post.

  1. Pretty colors, nice to have an edible arrangement as pretty as the flowers are.

    1. A little late in responding as we were on a trip this last week. Anyway, yeah, the vegetables are often as pretty as the flowers in this garden. I wish we could do so well at our house...in either category.

  2. Love to eat this stuff -- but now it looks too pretty to eat! I'm seeing a "chard leaf quilt" in this too!
