Description

'Verte à Carde Blanche 3 Paris' Swiss chard is a classic, productive white-stemmed variety. It produces broad, fleshy white stems topped with glossy green leaves. This heat-resistant variety is ideal for summer crops! Sow from April to July and harvest from August to November.

Chard (Beta vulgaris), also known as leaf beet or silver beet, is a leaf vegetable that has regained popularity over recent years. Its edible stems come in an array of colours, from white to red, purple or yellow. They are delicious in gratin, sautéed or lightly steamed. The leaves can be used like spinach in quiches, omelettes or soups. Chard is low in calories and high in fibre, vitamins and minerals. However, it also contains oxalates and should be eaten in moderation, especially by those suffering from arthritis or rheumatic disorders.

Harvesting: harvest the larger leaves as and when required

Storage: chard will stay fresh in the refrigerator for a few days

Good to know: Mulching with grass clippings or dead leaves is recommended, especially during hot dry spells, as this will help keep the soil moist whilst limiting weed growth.

Planting and care

Soil preparation: chard enjoys free-draining, moist and rich soils with a good supply of organic matter. Make sure to amend your soil several months in advance, as the plants may suffer from too recent soil amendments. Choose an open, sunny location in cool, well-loosened soil.

Direct sowing is recommended as transplanting sometimes causes premature bolting.

Sow 3-4 seeds every 40 cm, or in shallow-bottomed furrows, 40 cm apart. Cover the seeds with about 1 cm of fine soil and water regularly until germination. When the seedlings have 3-4 true leaves, thin them out by keeping the strongest plant every 40 cm.

 

Care:

Hoe and weed around your plants regularly. Water generously, and often and use mulch to keep the soil moist. Under certain climates (with winter temperatures above -6°C), chard can spend the winter outdoors with a good layer of mulch.
