Swiss chard is a green leafy vegetable that can be included in any veggie garden. It is both tasty and full of nutrients and comes in a range of colors that can add some beauty to your garden. Swiss chard can be started as seeds in the early spring in soil temperatures of 50 F. Plant the seeds at a depth of ½ inch about 3 inches apart. When the seedlings get to be several inches apart they can be replanted to 12 inches apart. You should be able to harvest 55 days after planting.
Key Takeaways:
- Swiss Chard is a frost hardy plant and does well in cold soil.
