Have you grown or eaten Swiss chard? Lately I've been surprised to discover how many people aren't well acquainted with this hearty and tasty type of garden greens, so I thought I'd share a little of what I've learned about growing chard and some of my favorite recipes using it.

Small, tender leaves make a nice addition to salads or are good for making chard pesto, while larger leaves should be cut away from the ribs so stems and leaves can be cooked separately. Chard has a pleasant flavor that's a little stronger than spinach, but not as strong as kale or mustard greens.
