Sowing and growing

Chard can be sown from early April to mid-August. You can sow the seeds in your garden box or grow bag, no pre-sowing needed. 4 plants fit in a 30x30 cm square patch.
Chard seeds germinate easily and the plants grow quickly. You just have to water them, that’s it. Diseases and pests leave chard pretty much alone.

You can start to harvest the leaves after about 7 weeks. Cut them a few centimeters above the soil line. Leave the center of the plant so new leaves can continue to grow from it.

You keep harvesting until it starts to freeze. The plants can survive mild winters and grow again in the spring. The leaves remain harvestable until the chard goes to flower. Then it’s time to say goodbye.

Step-by-step sowing and growing instructions are included in the Planty Gardening app. 

How do you use chard?

Chard is often used as an alternative to spinach. The flavor is similar: it tastes like a cross between spinach and beet leaves.

Young chard leaves are delicious in salads. The older leaves and stems can be blanched, tossed in a stir fry, or added to mashed potatoes.
