Swiss chard is an often overlooked vegetable. It is still full of essential vitamins and minerals, very versatile and full of great taste. Try this year with these six easy steps of planting some Swiss chard in your garden!
Chard prefers well drained soil and medium-high heat. To select a location in full sun or part shade in hot areas. The best soil is rich in organic material and nitrogen. I would like to spade before sowing the seed in fresh grass clippings.
Sowing directly in the ground with homemade seed tape or delete the seeds in the ground (follow distance according to seed package instructions). The best time to plant is about two weeks before the last frost date or in the autumn spring either.
The plants thin, if it about 6 "high, begins with the delicate delicious recipes for your first are!" Leave about 8 "10" between the remaining operated.
Mulch plants with organic substances, shredded paper, grass clippings or other material. After about 4 weeks you can also feeding plants with fish manure or other organic feed.
Let's get not the ground to dry. Water thoroughly, the plants to keep from flower or anchors.
Start the outer leaves harvest when about 6"high." Further reap the outermost leaves through the season.
Mangold prepare me is a way to fry, together with chopped garlic in a small amount of olive oil, freshly picked stalks and leaves. Only FRY until the leaves are wilted and the stalks are tender. Season with pepper flakes, a little butter and salt.
