HOW TO GROW

Grow in the miscellaneous section of your rotation. Chard does not like very acidic soil. A good Seed & Cutting Compost to start with, perhaps blended with a good bag of Top Soil will be a good first step.
Sow the seed into well-prepared ground, with that mix of compost and Top Soil if your ground needs some help, or is acidic, from March until August. Scatter in rows about 1 cm deep and 30 cm between the rows.

Thin the seedlings to around 20cm apart as they grow. It is a good idea to make at least 2 sowings during the season to ensure a good supply. Chards are biennial and so are much less likely to go up to seed than true spinach. However, in hot weather or very dry conditions it can bolt. This can be a particular problem with spring-sown crops. Watering well will help to prevent this.
