I am a huge fan of orach as food and decoration. I have yellow, pink, pink, a rudy colour and have just added rumpled purple to the mix.

Very nicely done, Telsing and karen ! I love colourful vegetables (not necessarily for eating) as they got such great ornamental value plus if need be they can be eaten. I still can not arrange them in a harmony/contrast way though...got to slowly figure things out to coincide their rotations and beauty. I tend to use chilies, peppers, colourful chards and tomatoes (plus cardoon) to bring out some colour. This year I will grow more edible flowers too  . Let more pictures roll out please  . |

Telsing,
I never knew that Orach came in colors other than green and red until reading your post. The 'purple' one in a photo back on another thread you started about Orach, looks like the main one I grow. Love that color. Now will keep my eye out for other colors.
Are any of the Oraches, shorter than the towering giants, of my experience?

Beautiful edible combos.
Wow is that regular rainbow chard? I can't get mine to grow that big except for some white chards....Do you have a special fertilizer for them?
Love the Kales. I have kale all over the place. I didn't plant enough last year, so there is going to be lots more this year to make it through the winter.
