  • Swiss Chard does not transplant well and does best if the seeds are planted directly in the soil. 

  • Sow about 6 seeds per foot directly into the garden as soon as soil can be worked in early spring to summer through mid spring.  Cover seeds with 1/2 inch of fine soil.

  • When seedlings are 3 to 4 inches high thin to 8 to 12 inches apart.   Use leaves from young thinned plants in salads.

  • Start cutting outer leaves when plants are about 8 inches tall for extended harvest, new leaves will grow out from the centre.
