Swiss chard is a sturdy leafy green with mild earthy leaves and attractive stems. It can be harvested young for salads or grown larger for sautés, bowls, and side dishes.
In indoor gardens, harvest the outer leaves and leave the center growing. Chard appreciates room around the crown, so it fits best in systems where larger greens are not crowded by herbs.
Seeds sprout quickly and the first true leaves begin forming.
Baby leaves size up under steady light and gentle airflow.
Start picking outer leaves while the center keeps growing.
Harvest lightly and often before plants become crowded or bitter.
