Growing instructions
Sow in late April to mid-July in rows 20–30 cm apart. Chard loves heavy group soils. Mature compost in abundance and abundant watering help the flavours develop. Harvest, depending on the seeding date, from June to October. Late seeding actually produces an additional harvest in the following spring.
