New Definition of "Kitchen Garden"

Instead of a locating a kitchen garden outside, why not place it in the kitchen? This "Bright Lights" Swiss chard with parsley dancing around it graces the southern window of our little apartment.Not only does the pot add beauty to our apartment, it is practical and adds some leafy greens to our meals every once in a while. To make a quick lunch, I put 1/3 cup of couscous in a bowl, poured in 2/3 cup of hot beef broth, and allowed it to sit for 5 minutes. Then I threw in a couple of whole frozen tomatoes, and a handful of those frozen beans. Finally, I chopped up a few stems of swiss chard and parsley to add a splash of color and a bit of delicious flavor.

A little ingenuity + consistent watering = sprigs of delight.
