Growing Instructions:

  • 1. **Choose the Right Location:** Select a sunny to partially shaded spot in your garden for planting Ruby Red Swiss chard. These plants thrive in well-drained soil with good organic content.
  • 2. **Planting:** You can sow Ruby Red Swiss chard seeds directly in the garden. Plant them about 1/2 inch deep and 3 inches apart in rows. Make sure to space rows at least 12 inches apart to allow the plants room to grow.
  • 3. **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Swiss chard appreciates even moisture levels, so water regularly, especially during dry spells.
  • 4. **Thinning:** As the plants grow, thin them to maintain proper spacing. You can harvest the young plants you thin out as baby greens for salads.
  • 5. **Fertilization:** Apply a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer according to the package instructions to promote healthy growth.
  • 6. **Harvesting:** You can start harvesting Ruby Red Swiss chard when the leaves are large enough to use, usually 6-8 weeks after planting. Pick the outer leaves, allowing the inner ones to continue growing. The leaves are delicious in salads, sautés, and various recipes.
  • 7. **Pest and Disease Control:** Keep an eye out for common garden pests such as aphids and leaf miners. Implement appropriate pest control measures if needed.
