Swiss Chard Bright Yellow AGM Seeds
Vegetable Seeds from Sow Seeds
Swiss Chard Bright Yellow has gorgeous dark green leaves with vibrant yellow stalks & veins that brighten up your veg patch, your dinner plate & maybe your flower beds too!
This superb RHS AGM variety is slow to bolt and has good winter hardiness. Initially cropping from mid-summer to late autumn, this tasty leaf beet will re-emerge after a normal winter, to produce an unbelievably early spring crop. Height: 50cm. Spread: 40cm.
A useful veg that can be harvested a little at a time and can survive in warmer winters with a little added protection.
It is a close relation to the beetroot family grown for its leaves. The colourful leaves & stems can be picked whilst young (in 32 days) as babyleaf and used raw in salads or left to grow on and used in stir-fries or sauteed in butter (and it keeps it's colour when cooked!)
Swiss Chard Bright Yellow Vegetable Seed Information
| Seed Quantity: | Approx 60 seeds per pack. |
| Site: |
Any, but does best if rich in organic matter.
|
| When to Sow |
March to August, but best in March or July/August.
|
| How to Sow: |
Either indoors in modules/small pots with 1-2 seeds per unit and remove the weaker seedlings. Transplant out when large enough in spring spacing 15-25cm apart. Or direct sow thinly once the soil has warmed up in April-July into drills 2.5cm deep by 30cm.
|
| Care: |
They must be kept watered in summer to prevent bolting, but if some do start to bolt just cut down the middle stem and give them a good water. Keep picking leaves to encourage new ones, and during winter take off old ones before they begin to rot & affect other leaves. Chard is not hardy but is tough enough to survive most winters, just cut off any mushy leaves and it will begin to re-grow when the weather warms up.
|
| Harvest: | 10 weeks after sowing, March ones will be ready late May onwards & August sowings will be October onwards. It is a biennial so will last 2 seasons. |
