Chard

Swiss Chard Seed

Chard is best direct sown in Spring to early Summer while soil warmed but not hot (50-75 F is best). Plant 1/2 inch deep in rows 18-24 inches apart. Plant closely to later thin 6-10 inches apart (use the thinned plants as baby greens). Chard has good tolerance to hot weather, but the best results are grown in cool to moderate temperatures. Chard is great at all stages of growth: clipped as a 'baby' for fresh greens/salad use; young stalks cooked like asparagus; mature leaves cooked like spinach; and larger/mature stalks make great fritters.

VBI06 - Chard Riccia da Taglio (Savoyed Leaf)
NEW FOR 2009! This is another wonderful chard grown for its leaf production, much as the 'Perpetual Spinach'. The rich green leaves are nicely savoyed (crinkled), with a slightly sweet flavor great for salad use, but also suitable for braising. This is a good cutting variety, growing new shoots readily. Typical of the chards, far more tolerant of heat than spinach. $2.59 View Details
