Planting Instructions

Planting Season

  • Early Spring to Late Summer: Plant Swiss chard in early spring after the last frost or late summer for a fall harvest. It grows well in cooler temperatures, but can also tolerate mild heat.

Planting Details

  • Depth: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in well-draining, fertile soil.
  • Spacing: Space seeds 12-18 inches apart in rows that are 18-24 inches apart for proper air circulation and room to grow.
  • Light: Swiss chard prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in warmer climates.
  • Soil: Prefers loamy, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Incorporating compost or organic matter into the soil will enhance its nutrient content.

Watering and Care

  • Water Needs: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells, but ensure the soil is well-drained to avoid root rot. Swiss chard prefers regular watering to support healthy growth.
  • Fertilizing: Use an organic, balanced fertilizer at planting time and consider side-dressing with compost or additional nutrients during the growing season to encourage healthy leaf production.
  • Mulching: Apply organic mulch around plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil cool in warmer temperatures.
  • Thinning: Thin seedlings to about 12-18 inches apart to allow room for healthy growth.

Harvesting

  • When to Harvest: Swiss chard can be harvested 50-60 days after planting, but leaves can be picked earlier for baby greens.
  • How to Harvest: Pick individual leaves from the outer edges of the plant, allowing the center leaves to continue growing. For the stems, cut them at the base of the plant.
  • Storage: Fresh Swiss chard can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For long-term storage, blanch and freeze the leaves and stems.

Perfect For

  • Home Gardens: Ideal for adding a pop of color to your garden while providing an abundant harvest of nutritious greens throughout the growing season.
  • Salads and Smoothies: The tender, flavorful leaves make an excellent addition to raw salads or smoothies for a nutritional boost.
  • Stir-Fries and Soups: Both the stems and leaves are versatile in cooking, making Swiss chard a great addition to stir-fries, soups, and sautéed dishes.
  • Container Gardening: Swiss chard is perfect for container gardens and raised beds, as it doesn't require a lot of space to thrive.

Coverage

  • Packet: Typically covers 50-75 square feet, depending on spacing.
