Swiss Chard is grown for greens, the 
large well developed outer leaves being 
picked from time to time. Seed should 
be sown from February to July in rows

is sown in the spring the longer will be 
the bearing season. Soil requirements

table vegetable, being used as a sub¬ 
stitute for Spinach and is cooked in
