Chard

Start indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Can also be direct seeded in mid-spring thru early summer. Chard does best in cool conditions but will tolerate some heat. Sow 1.5 cm deep and aim for a plant every 10 to 15 cm for bunching. Closer spacing is better for baby greens. Cut leaves and allow plants to regrow for continuous harvest.
