Plant Nations

In my current garden I have so far failed to achieve an abundant growth of Swiss Chard. It grows slowly, stays small, and I never have enough to meet my needs, especially since it cooks down so much.

Curly Dock (in my opinion) has too mild a flavor to stand alone, but I finally thought to add a bunch of dock to bulk out my sauteed chard. It was excellent! I turned out a true mess of greens. (Finally plenty to go around!) The chard provided depth, breadth, bite, and complexity of taste while the dock provided needed volume and a new light, lemony top note!
