35 days baby, 55 days mature
This striking, red-stemmed chard will put little red lightning bolts in your salad when harvested at the baby stage. Or wait for it to grow up for the showy, lush, dark green, fully savoyed leaves. Even though it looks big and brash, the flavor is very mild and even the stems cook up nice and tender.
These productive plants have excellent re-growth for multiple harvests all summer and fall. You can harvest the larger outer leaves, or simply cut the entire plant an inch or two above ground.
This start comes as a 6-pack, and you get 12-24 seedlings per 6-pack, making this a terrific deal!
When planting, separate the individual pots by tearing or cutting them apart. (Even though the Fertil pots are biodegradable, cut off the bottom of the pot with a sharp knife before planting it in the ground so that the roots will be able to find all the water and nutrients they need.) Plant each small pot about 6 inches from the next. Make sure that the top of the pot is completely under the soil line and putt a small amount of soil on top of it and press down. Water well immediately after planting.
You may also plant chard in a large container, separating pots and planting about 6 inches apart.
