Growing at a glance…
Swiss chard doesn't transplant well, so we recommend planting them directly outside. Sow 6 seeds per foot as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring to summer. Cover seeds with 1/2 inch of soil. Thin seedlings roughly 8-12 inches apart. Cut outer leaves when the plants are 8 inches tall for an extended harvest, as the leaves grow from the centre. Cut back plants in late summer.
