Hmm. The taste resembles chard.

I mean, what do, say, tomatoes taste like? Or strawberries? Or carrots? Or
chocolate?


Like............G

The leaves of chard taste and cook somewhat like spinach


That's fine, I just needed to know whether it had a cabbabe taste or
what.

They have the added advantage in that if they go to seed I remove the
hurdles and the hens give endless entertainment by jumping up to the leaves
to eat them.


We are going to buy our hen house as recommended by you in October, I
have bid for a coule on ebay but lost. They certainly hold their
price as I bid up to almost two thirds of the new value.

I'm sorry if this doesn't answer your question ...


It does Mary, thanks.
