Tasty and tender leaves, of a brilliant green. The orange stems contrast nicely with the dark green foliage. Chard is quite hardy and resists the cold well. Cards (stems) and foliage are eaten cooked or raw.

30cm Harvest 90 days after transplant Sowing March-April in bucket Germination 7-12 days Successful sowing
Sow under cover, in plates or in pots. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. It is possible to transplant for the first time in the nursery when the plants are 5 at 6 leaves, all 10 cm, so that the roots take “hairy” before being put in place. Transplant when the seedlings after all risk of frost has passed, all 30 cm on rows spaced 40 cm, without burying the stem too much. For sowing in the ground, sow clearly, in lines spaced 40 cm apart. Lighten to 30 cm on the line when the plants have 5 at 6 sheets.
