Chard

Went along to Seafield to pick up a hire car and came home in it via the allotment - fortunately just as the rain stopped. We stuck a few more things into the ground (taking pressure off the windowsills at home) and I put up a third teepee. If they all come up the place will be bean city.

Found that the stunted little chard plant I'd discovered lurking under some bolting purple sprouting had really come into its own - but since it had over-wintered, thought I'd better harvest it in case it got its own bolting ideas.

I used to think Chard was a village in Somerset - oh, wait a minute.....
