Cultivation Tips
Growing organic chard seeds is straightforward:
Sunlight Requirements: Requires sun to partial shade; at least 6 hours of sunlight daily is ideal.
Soil Preparation: Use well-drained soil enriched with organic matter; a pH of 6.0 to 7.0 is preferred.
Seed Spacing: Sow seeds about ½ inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart.

Important Considerations
Chard can be harvested continuously by cutting the outer leaves while allowing the inner leaves to grow. This allows for a prolonged harvest throughout the growing season.
