Cultivation Advice

Cultivation Advice – Swiss Chard – Fire Fresh F1

Direct sow outdoors from March to August after the soil has warmed in your location.
Best grown in a well prepared, moist, fertile seedbed in full sun or partial shade.
Sow seeds thinly at a depth of 1 cm (½”) in drills 30 cm (12″) apart.
Start harvesting early thinning seedlings to 7 cm (3″) apart for ‘baby leaves’ which will be fully ready to harvest approximately 50 days from sowing.
For mature plants continue to thin to 15 cm (6″) apart, or 23 cm (9″) for mature plants.
