Swiss Chard
Photo by S. Arrowsmith

This swiss chard, ‘rainbow lights’ didn’t get eaten when it grew bigger than salad leaf size. I discovered that growing pretty veg is no guarantee of taste. I imagined that something this beautiful would taste amazing. It didn’t, it has a very strong soapy flavour that isn’t to my taste. At least it looked splendid.
