Planting Guide

Get your Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard off to a robust start with these steps:

• Begin seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last expected frost, ready for transplanting.
• Sow seeds 1 inch deep, 4 inches apart in rows 18 to 24 inches apart, 2 to 3 weeks before the last expected frost date.
• Gradually reduce watering and fertilizing to toughen up your plants.
• When plants reach 3 to 4 inches, thin them out to a 6- to 12-inch spacing.
• Surround plants with mulch to help retain moisture and keep weeds at bay.
• For vibrant "bright light" colors, start seeding earlier indoors.

Harvesting Guide

Reap the fruits of your labor with these tips:

• Start harvesting when your plants are 6 to 8 inches tall.
• Use a sharp knife and cut the outer leaves 1 1/2 inches above the soil.
• Continue to harvest the outer leaves for ongoing yield.
• If the whole plant is harvested, cut back to 3 inches above the soil to encourage regrowth.
• Keep in mind, leaves over 10 inches long may have a stronger, earthy flavor.
