How to Sow, Care for, and Harvest

• Soil preparation: rich, well-drained soil, ideal pH around 6.0–7.0; incorporate compost to promote vigorous growth.
• Sowing and spacing: sow lightly at 0.5–1 cm deep and space seeds 25–30 cm apart in rows spaced 30–40 cm to allow leaves to develop freely.
• Care: water regularly to keep the soil moist; light mulching to limit weeds and preserve moisture.
• Harvest: start picking outer leaves after 45–60 days for baby leaves, or let grow for thicker adult leaves around 60–70 days. Pick gently to encourage regrowth.
• Rotation and endurance: avoid growing Swiss Chard in the same spot year after year; favor rotation with other leafy greens to prevent soil depletion.
