- Soil requirements: Swiss chard prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: Swiss chard thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. It requires at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth.
- Watering requirements: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plants regularly, especially during dry periods, to ensure they receive about 1-1.5 inches of water per week.
- Planting season: Swiss chard can be planted in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or in late summer for a fall harvest. It is a cool-season crop that can tolerate light frosts.
- Depth and spacing: Plant Swiss chard seeds about 1/2 inch deep and space them 2-4 inches apart in rows that are 18-24 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart once they are a few inches tall.
- Germination time: Swiss chard seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Swiss chard is usually ready for harvest within 50-60 days after planting. However, baby greens can be harvested as early as 30 days.
- Harvesting time: Harvest Swiss chard in the early morning or late afternoon when the leaves are crisp and full of moisture.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the outer leaves about 1-2 inches above the ground, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing. Store harvested leaves in a cool, moist place, such as a refrigerator, to maintain freshness.
