What's Growing In My Garden



I have an Amish Melon! It's suppose to be a cantaloupe type melon.








This is a leaf of my Bright Lights Swiss Chard. I thought the colors were incredible!






This shows the red stocks. It's almost too pretty to eat!

Sauteed Chard
Trim the leaves off of the stocks. Slice the chard stocks into small pieces. Chop the leaves as you would chop up lettuce for a salad. Saute the chopped stocks in a little oil. When they are getting tender, add the leaves and stir-fry. Salt and pepper, and that's it! If you have several different colors of chard (there are mixed seeds you can buy), such as the pink, red, yellow, white and color crosses, this dish looks like confetti! Besides that, it tastes good! Even children might want to eat it!
