Planting and Care Instructions (From this Label)
Select a location with some sunshine; and sow seeds as soon as the soil can be worked. (In areas with mild winters chard can be planted at any time of the year.) Prior to seeding, soil should be cultivated and enriched with vegetable food. Chard is sensitive to acidic soils and prefers a pH of 6.0-6.4. After seeding, lightly firm soil over seeds. Water regularly and feed every 4-6 weeks. When chard is 6-10" tall, harvest outer leaves by cutting with a sharp knife to encourage additional growth. When to Plant: Spring and Early Fall. For best results, harvest only a few older, outside leaves, at a time from each plant allowing younger leaves, in the center, to continue growing for additional harvests all season long.
