Swiss Chard (Silver Beet)

Is a leaf vegetable grown to be used like spinach. Chard is best harvested whilst the leaves are young but will keep growing more leaves and stems as you pick them.

How To Grow

These are best sown directly in the ground. The seed clusters are fairly large and easy to handle so sow a couple of seeds at the desired spacing then thin seedlings out as they grow to leave one or two plants in each position.
