sumisu: Aack! One of the great features of planting Swiss Chard is to keep plucking the biggest leaves. All my plants have four leaves maximum. They just keep growing back. My small patch will continue to feed me well into the fall.
The enzymes are so powerful in my leaves. I cannot imagine trying to eat those monsters; I might pass out. Snick! Snick!
Ah yes! Where would my garden be without leaf compost.
This picture was taken several weeks ago. It houses butternut squash. My landlady considered this garden space to be worthless. Wanting to keep as much space between my squashes as possible, I broke new ground. First, I got all substantial rocks out. This means no ants. Then I added from two types of last years compost piles. Then, of course, partially rotted leaves were added for mulch and future soil.
