How To Grow Swiss Chard! 

This guy does not waste his words! Very informative, to the point, and the cooking tips are just what I needed to see today. This was an excellent video. Bravo my man!

Your Awesome one of the best Swiss Chard Videos I have seen. Thank you

New here, found chard grows easy for me in Northern New York . We enjoy it more than spinach .A little goes a long way ,effortless and it doesn't mind cool weather .Thanks for the info next year I look forward to some seeds too! YOUR AN EXCELLANT TEACHER.

So much good info here. Looking forward to watching more videos. Thx!

Can't believe you didn't mention spanakopita in such a thorough video! Chard IS a fabulous plant and the coloured stems make it as beautiful as any flower. Great video!! Thanks!

Great stuff Stace. I enjoy your channel. What sets you apart are occasional quick recipes. Keep it coming. Tx

I think y'all will be amazed at my Swiss chard plant from before COVID-19. It's been taller than me 5'7" It's survived the Texas "Snowmagaddon" of February 2021. 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.

Don't need to watch anything else after that video....the dude nailed it! I am in year two and I did not know this biennial stuff. Looks like I'm in for early fewer leaves and mega seeds. I'm in Las Vegas and they are jamming right now.

Also called silverbeet in Australia.

Thank you, I never saw chard going to into seed, and why it was a biennial. I was looking for a video like this.

This is epic! Soo much useful information. Wish you more followers and blessings

I have a lot of swiss chard growing. Great video

Thank you for this video. This is my first year growing Swiss Chard because I eat handfuls a day I want my own fresh garden Chard everyday. I think I will be successful now with your help!

Very informative video! One thing to note, some of the Swiss Chard I planted in the ground bolted in the hot summer and produced seeds in their first year itself.

Beautiful

This year is a lot of my firsts 1. My garden 2. I never had chard before but this morning I went out to try 4 leaves from my Vulcan Swiss chard washed them and put it in with some onions and garlic with butter and I made a omelet and oh yes!

Thanks for the info, great content! Looking forward to some fresh chard this year

Thank you! This was really helpful :)

Thank you- I've been looking for videos from someone in the same hardiness zone (I'm 8b, PNW), super helpful video. I think slugs got to my seedlings that were sown outdoors so I'm starting new seeds in pots. Looking forward to harvesting in early summer!

Amazing

Thank you

So much good info. thanks.

Very clear, thanks, sound advice. (we don't need drip irrigation here in ireland, though 🤣)

I am so excited to try this!

Chard is awesome 👍🌱

Thank You for sharing your info .. Just found your channel, I'm in Florida zone 9a

Great tip for my garden

Grows well. Thanks for the explanation

"Weird hybrid chard beet babies"🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Last year I had a volunteer tomato tree! I dont know how! It was my best tomato plant!

Amazing content. Subscribed :)

These are just delicious to eat 😋

Well, thanks for showing me what a chard looks like when it has gone to seed. I overwintered a few in the house under lights - in zone 4b they don't survive winter outdoors - and replanted them outdoors this spring and I'm hoping to harvest seed. So far, they're still producing leaves. No sign of bolting.

From the heart ❤️. For. Swiss Chard leafs Lots of love 😘. Michael DADDA 👁️🇺🇸💎 محمد علي الددا

So you just leaave one plant to produce seeds? Will it grow that long in the South AL zone 8 without burning up? or will humidity do them in? Would like to collect seed but can't see it in our heat unless they will grow in shade

Oooh helpful! Thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks for this. Just subscribed

Don't mind me just simping........for the swiss chard 😳

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.

Other than zucchini & squash....chard has been the easiest to grow. I planned on losing them in the winter, but in January and February they really thrived (California). I'm having issues with leaf miners......I can rub the eggs off of the leaves daily, but does anyone have any other suggestions for dealing with leaf miners?

I have a question for you if you don't mind. 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.

Is that the name Bout Chard? We call silverbeet here. I grow so much of it but don't really eat it :-(. That is the only things it grow well here..the things I really want to grow and eat..it doesn't grow in my weather.

Hi brought pkt of chard seeds from store by mistake never eaten it before I've only a small garden and no real earth ground but I have room for a few big pots would I beable to grow in these ? I'm a newbie to this gardening thing I did grow spring onions and toms last year that was exciting and tasted so much nicer thankyou for your bery informative vid especially for us beginners didn't know you could get seeds from plant best vid I've seen. thanks

Hi sir I want to grow Swiss chard but we don’t have it here in Nepal

I need help: planted swiss chard, the stalks are about 7"-8" long. I tried one - tastes awful, does anybody know why? Too early? Thank you

First time trying. I started my swiss chard from seed, indoors, and it is so long/leggy right now it is completely lying down. 😞

What about dehydrated Swiss chard???

Could I ask whether need to water the silverbeet if waiting the seed to brown ?

Great video thanks. I have both chard and beet growing in my garden now. Will the two cross ONLY when they are BOTH going to seed at the same time? In other words if I harvest my beets before the chard goes to seed, then the two will not cross??? and I am OK with the trueness(is that a word?) of the chard seed if I let it go to seed?

we have freezing winters in NJ. The chard would freeze over the winter. does it die or come back by itself in the spring to let go to seed in the second year???

Never ate Swiss chard, how would you cook it?

Can the chard seeds be cut down and dried hanging?

I planted both Ford Hook and Rainbow swiss chard in the fall...and have harvested and eaten Gorgeous leaves since early spring. Now they are huge...and some are already going to seed. It's June, and in Tennessee can be very humid. Can I replant now ? From seed ? Will the heat affect it ?

Intersting!

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?

humm... i wonder if i can make whine from chard? or shine of the moon lol ... easy to have too much chard unless i can make a drink ;)

Do you sale your vegetables?

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

Yes, great vegetable, but taste really bitter! I have them in my garden.

I want to eat chardbeet
