Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring or Fall: Sow seeds in early spring or late summer for an excellent fall harvest. It’s an ideal plant for cool-weather gardens due to its ability to withstand light frosts.

Planting Details

• Depth: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep into well-drained soil.
• Spacing: Space the seeds 6-8 inches apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.
• Light: Prefers full sun, though it can tolerate partial shade. The more sunlight it gets, the better the flavor.
• Soil: Thrives in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot.
• Fertilizing: Apply an organic fertilizer or compost every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy growth and vibrant leaves.
• Mulching: Mulch around the base of plants to help maintain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and protect roots from temperature fluctuations.
• Thinning: Once seedlings have established themselves, thin to 8-12 inches apart to ensure healthy growth and prevent overcrowding.

Harvesting

• When to Harvest: Start harvesting outer leaves once they reach 6-8 inches in length, usually around 50-60 days after planting.
• How to Harvest: Cut the outer leaves regularly, leaving the inner leaves to continue growing for an ongoing harvest. This method allows you to enjoy fresh Swiss chard over a longer period.
• Storage: Freshly harvested leaves can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze or dehydrate the leaves for longer storage.
