Chard is the only green we grow down here in SW Louisiana as it is the only one I actually enjoy eating. We use just the leaf in salads but when we cook it we use stalk and all. Sometimes we just graze on it as we go through the garden. Although my grandfather always seemed to have chard in his garden, we never ate the leaves - always just boiled the stalks and had them with a white sauce with butter. Thanks -- Wilson N45 W67 ok, so I'm a chard virgin....what does it taste like? how does it compare to lettuce? Spinach? something else? curious, Kathi Beets. -- Billy Bush Behind Bars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KVTf...ef=patrick.net http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0aEo...eature=related |

I like it much better than collards, mustard, or spinach. |

"The Cook" wrote in message ... Here are the results of today's harvest from my garden. That is 1/2 of the chard in a 21 quart canner and the collards are in a 16" colander. Now I have to get busy and start getting the stuff ready to freeze or pickle (beets.) snips..... This week we harvested some leaf lettuce and a few tomatoes and peppers. It's been a very cool spring here this year. |

It's a beet, just bred to put out lots of greens instead of lots of root. If you've had beet greens you've got the idea. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

Edrena You still taking stuff to the Farmer's Market Edrena? State is changing the regulations for labeling home made stuff here and I'm waiting to see what they have to say this time. I see jams and jellies selling for $5 to $7 a pint and I'm getting interested. Tomorrow I will put up a few pints of pickled b**ts mit onions and probably more next week. We ate the beet greens tonight with our roast beef and black eyed peas. Had some raw carrots out of the garden for beginners. Tilly Dawg, unlike Sleepy Dawg, has decided carrots are for rabbits. Ol' Sleepy would beg for them, Tilly just spits them out. Spoiled little thing! George |

Lots of new friends tho, and lots of socializing. Still got my pickle wings. It's all the way across the range, about 30 miles and just too far for even visiting more than once or twice a month. Haveta plan them trips nowadays. My cat, Shadow Singer, will eat peanut butter... Just don't feed the pup any onyuns, it's toxic for dogs & cats. Edrena |

Edrena Yeah, onions, broccoli, grapes, raisins, a whole list of things that will poison dogs and even some cats. We try not to give Tilly any people food at all. She is getting a knee operated on in a few weeks and needs to lose a few pounds. Seems every one of her littermates has the same problem too. |

I'm looking to do a leetle more research on toxic people food. I nivver knew I was so iggnorent. Up in Santa Fe at the foodie-in last year, they were selling jams for at least that much. And with oil prices to blame everything on, they'll probably get even higher. But there is a one-use jar place up in Albuquerque, I'll dig the name out by and by. If they can get those locally, cuts costs alot. Off to watch the tv with Ol'Whiskerface. Edrena |
