House of (Rainbow) Chards
















How did this become...this?


This little patch of rainbow chard survived the winter like so, below. We at the house ate it during the green-starvation months of March...April...but not fast enough. When the spring bulbs bloomed, it blended in with the fun. By June, the stalks had grown skyward in a twisted mass of Dr. Seuss-ian, Wizard of Oz-ian proportions. The 8' bamboo frame, intended for my pole beans, had become a House of Chards, madly on the verge of seeding.






















Alas, I ripped it out.
