Swiss Chard Seeds

🥬 A Nutritious Garden Staple

Swiss Chard is one of the easiest and healthiest vegetables you can grow. A relative of the beet, it is rich in minerals and vitamins. Its tangy, crumpled leaves are tender and delicious, whether cooked like spinach or enjoyed raw in fresh salads.

  • Growing Essentials: Thrives in well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5–7.5. Sow seeds 1–2 cm deep and 2.5 cm apart in rows 45 cm apart, starting in mid-spring.

  • Continuous Harvest: Sow every two weeks until early summer to ensure a steady supply.

  • Care: Gradually thin plants to 10 cm apart—the thinnings make excellent baby salad greens.

  • Harvesting: Pick the outer leaves first by cutting them at the base of the stem, then work your way toward the centre of the plant. Each packet sows approximately a 6 m row.
