I’m growing Swiss Chard for the first time. My little plants are growing just fine. I have been buying Swiss Chard for a long time. I like to use it in my smoothies and the days when I put everything in my juicer for a really nutritious juice. I put a few plants in my GreenStalk. I think I’m going to plant a few in containers like you did. Thanks as always for your awesome “Pro Tips”. Be Blessed and have an amazing Thursday🙏🏾 Ms J
One of my swiss chard wintered over I misses when I pulled them so hubby could put the garden to bed. When there is an abundance I rinse, fan dry, stack and roll them up to freeze them. When stems are hard I remove them and munch and spit out the tuff fiber. Napkin comes in handy, lol. Tastes a little like rhubarb. Hubby wanted building up edge of garden so I've not planted any yet. We're in our mid 70's so I don't push or rush.
Oh sorry to hear.. try pruning off a couple bigger leaves.. let the smaller once grow .. good to hear the other plants Growing good.. . Once Swiss chard have fertilizer and water it grows pretty well .. thanks for sharing with us 🌱
Do you think it could be slugs? Usually I don't have a problem with them but I forgot to tell hubby to sprinkle coffee grounds and cleaned air dried and crushed eggshells. He planted chard seeds this morning. Hopefully the Epsom salts and wood ash mixed into the soil will deter them. He watered after planting. Check on line if you can use them in a water solution and correct ratio so you don't harm your wonder food.
So I normally fertilize every 2-3 weeks , but that container I have some compost and fresh soil didn't fertilize yet... I normally get organic garden tone for fertilizer... nothing to crazy ... I do add use coffee grounds for nitrogen ... amzn.to/3JLcHLs (Amazon #ad
I always try my veggies raw before considering cooking them. I do not care for these raw. I do a quick sautee with it mixed in with collard greens for a quick meal.

I love swiss chard. My spinach always bolts. How often do you fertilize. Nitrogen only?
