To think my neighbour should have been more grateful for my chard

[FunnysInLaJardin]

So neighbours have chickens and bring us eggs, which is fab as we no longer keep chickens.

I offered her some chard in exchange which she happily accepted.

She dropped some more eggs over this week and I asked her if she had enjoyed the chard. She said it was too big but ate it rather than throwing it away. Fwiw it was about the size of normal spinach.

I mean seriously! I’ll have it back if it’s not up to standard.

Dropped some courgettes over today, one was slightly large, will await the comments

I really don't see the relevance of this other than you adding extra random details to try and bring people on to your side.

I think your indignance is a bit much. I don't think she was particularly rude as such and it sounds like you have a relationship where this 'bartering' and 'goodlife' plays a significant part. It's not so odd she'd comment on your offering.

I thought you'd given her chard for the chickens!

Your poor, kind, neighbour. Gives you eggs and gets hassle for not praying at your feet for the chard (monty phythonesque!)

So next time you’ll know
Before cropping you go
For all to be fine
Just harvest in time!

So she’s happy with antisemitism, Holocaust denial and racist hate speech? Yuk. I don’t know why people fall for it.

I love chard. It is the best kind of leafy green to use in Tuscan beans and greens and it is delicious lightly sauted with garlic, chilli flakes and lemon zest.

Come on... surely you know that chard, AKA leaves, is not an adequate swap for freshly laid, local, delicious eggs?!

So she hands out a magazine that pushes holocaust denial but your big problem with her is she wasn't sufficiently grateful for your chard?

@BoobsOnTheMoon , I'd love a marrow, and some chard, and eggs.

Chard Times

Christ. The overthinking on your part is crazy (and I overthink btw) don’t give her anything else. Easy.

This thread is hilarious

I will never look at chard the same way again

The Chard of the Light Brigade.

I feel chard done by and I'll be chard for life.
Courgettees, i've had a few but then again too few to mention...
Non, je ne courgette rien

😂

Chard with a soft boiled or poached egg is delicious.

Take my chard away....

It's a chardache, nothing but a chardache

Don't go breaking my chard
If you don't know chard by now....
I'm too sexy for my chard (or anyone else's !)

It been a chard days night

loving how this thread ended up. Excellent work all involved!

Chard to pitch it right, but you all smashed it!

Total eclipse of the chard
