How to sow and care for your CELEBRATION SWISS CHARD
Prepare rich, cool, and well-drained soil. Sow directly in the ground or in trays/pots, at a shallow depth and in spaced rows to promote good air circulation. When the seedlings reach a few centimeters in height, thin them to leave enough space between each plant to obtain thicker leaves and well-developed stems.
- Ideal germination temperature: generally around 15–20°C, with rapid recovery as the weather warms up.
- Watering: keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods and rapid growth.
- Maintenance: regular weeding and light mulching to retain moisture and limit weeds.
Harvesting, storing, and culinary uses
Harvest according to your needs: young leaves are perfect for salads and green smoothies, while larger leaves and thick stems add structure and crunch to stir-fries, gratins, and soups. After harvesting, the leaves can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days and can be frozen after quick blanching to extend their culinary use.
