Do you eat it raw or most often cook it? I am growing collards but my seeds haven't geminated, am thinking about going with Chard or Spinach instead of collards. What soil do you find it grows well in for u? I have limited space and prefer containers vs unground but am doing snap peas in ground and they are doing fine - If I am keep it safe from heavy winds we have been getting. 😮

Never grew Swiss Chard before this season and I have to say, it will be in my garden for the far distant future. It is almost crazy how delicious it is fresh when it's young! It tastes just like a beet green, no surprise there, or maybe even like spinach in a way. One of the freshest tasting greens I've ever had. I have a seed tray full of chard seedlings now! 😅

It's fallen over twice and been re-propped up. It still not bitter and I put in smoothies. I've trimmed off the sprouts wanting to bear seeds several times. And it flourishes in this sticky clay North Texas soil in spite of having been transplanted into a congested area of lawn where three huge Crape Myrtle stumps had been leveled two years ago.

I've never had a problem growing chard but this year my chard isn't growing good at all they all came up but they are staying small and light green I planted it 6 or 7 weeks ago I put lots of composted sheep manure in the row my beets are in the same row and they are doing about the same. I planted bull blood beets and the levees are red never seen them do that before either any tips.
@SustainableStace3 жыл бұрын
Hi Trevor - I can make a guess or two. Light green leaves suggests shortage of nitrogen. The composted manure suggests the nitrogen is there for the plants but they're not accessing it. So, I think the pH is off on your soil. I'd add dolopril lime, which acts quicker than dolomite lime, and see what happens. Within a week you should see a difference if my guess is correct.

Thanks Stace. I harvested my first Swiss Chard yesterday. It produced large seeds like we're used to seeing when we buy a seed packet from the store, to small seeds, to tiny seeds. Do you think the small and tiny seeds will be viable?
@SustainableStace2 жыл бұрын
I'm curious if you see a varying size of the seeds as you move along the stalk? I'm presuming, biggest nearer the base and smaller as you go up the stalk. It would be wise to try to use the large ones. But, you can always do a viability test. Put 2 of each size seed on a wet napkin/paper towel on a plate and keep moist. the ones which sprout are viable, the ones that don't aren't. Then, you'd have a conclusive answer!
@groussac2 жыл бұрын
@@SustainableStace Right. Biggest nearer the base and smaller as you go up the stalk. I've already done a mini-test in a seed tray. I happened to have a small seed and a tiny seed in my hand, so I stuck both of them in the soil to see what would happen. The small seed sprouted a single plant. The tiny seed did nothing. My theory is that, given enough time, chard forms a seed ball containing multiple seeds. The small seed (or seed ball) might therefore be a seed for a single plant from a ball that didn't fully develop to include multiple seeds. The tiny seeds probably didn't have a chance to develop a viable seed. Looks like most people harvest the big seeds and ignore the rest, but if the small seeds are good, why waste them? I'll cover up a few of my chards with mulch, and if they make it through the winter, I'll try another seed harvest, paying better attention than I did this year by harvesting throughout the summer instead of waiting til the end of season.

I used to grow a lot of Swiss chard (and other veggies like New Zealand spinach) when I was a student in Logan, Utah, US. I rented one of the university gardening plots for a semester and I grew 20-30 kinds of veggies. The harvest for each crop was abundant, so abundant that I couldn't consume all myself, too much harvest, I gave some to friends and neighbors.. Now I am back in Malaysia, my country. I tried to grow Swiss chard many times but seeds refuse to germinate, seeds bought online in Malaysia. My last attempts is TODAY, I soaked overnight the seeds in plant growth hormone solution and sowed them this morning. Hope they germinate, it works with zucchini and New Zeeland spinach seeds, they finally germinate after the hormone treatment. Does Swiss chard actually thrive in a tropical climate like Malaysia? Seeds are readily available and sold in Malaysia but I do not know if they'll germinate. Most Malaysians are not aware of Swiss chard, and the vegetable is not found in any Malaysian wet market or supermarket.

@SustainableStace2 жыл бұрын
Hello Vitar - your swiss chard tastes 'awful'. That's unfortunate. I'm presuming you've eaten swiss chard before and you are familiar with, and enjoy, the flavour AND it's clear to you that in this case something is terribly wrong. Correct? Presuming that's all accurate, I'm hopeful that the problem is 'bitterness' in which case the solution is moisture/watering. When swiss chard (and many other greens including lettuce) don't have consistent & adequate water they become bitter and that does taste awful. The easiest test would be to cut the stalks off some plants and water regularly - then as the new stalks grow, check to see if the taste has improved. You'll have your answer in a few weeks!

Enjoy your greens folks!!!! The best thing you could ever consume. No wonder the Bible book of Genesis highlighted its value to all creatures.... Genesis 1:29,30 Then God said: “Here I have given to you every seed-bearing plant that is on the entire earth and every tree with seed-bearing fruit. Let them serve as food for you. And to every wild animal of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything moving on the earth in which there is life, I have given all green vegetation for food.” And it was so No doubt these fruits and greens are amazing for us, as Jehovah God saw it to be very beneficial for humans to eat them. Keep indulging friends, they are a healthy choice gifted to our bodies by our creator......Enjoy
