Growing Tips for Organic Pink Lipstick Swiss Chard Seeds:
- Planting: Direct sow seeds in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep, spaced 6-8 inches apart, in rows 18-24 inches apart.
- Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Amend soil with compost or aged manure to improve fertility.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Regular watering ensures tender, succulent leaves.
- Sunlight: Swiss chard grows best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates.
- Temperature: Ideal growing temperatures are between 50-75°F (10-24°C). Swiss chard is frost-tolerant and can be grown in both cool and warm seasons.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost at planting time and again mid-season if needed. Swiss chard is a heavy feeder and benefits from regular feeding.
- Harvesting: Harvest outer leaves when they are young and tender, about 8-12 inches tall. Cut leaves near the base, and the plant will continue to produce new growth. For baby greens, harvest when leaves are 4-6 inches tall.
