How to Grow Chard from Sowing to Harvest

If you are someone who values your leafy greens, you may want to grow colorful Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris subsp. Cycla). For people on a vegan or keto eating plan, chard is the perfect companion for spinach and kale.

A little crunchier than spinach but softer than kale, this beautiful veggie comes in a surprising variety of colors. Technically speaking, chard is a beet, but it does not have a bulbous root.

It is known as a member of the “goose feet” family due to the shape of its leaves. What makes you Swiss? It was identified and named by a Swiss botanist. Packed with vitamins A and C, Swiss chard represents the dark leafy plant component of your diet.

Whether it's white, red, or yellow, it's packed with nutrition. It's easy to grow, so read on to learn all about caring for chard in your garden.
