Growing Conditions:

• Climate: Swiss Chard thrives in South African climates, particularly in cooler seasons. It grows best in temperatures between 10°C and 24°C.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Enrich the soil with organic compost or well-rotted manure before planting.
• Watering: Requires regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Planting: Sow seeds 1 cm deep and space plants about 30 cm apart. For continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks.

Care Tips:

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy growth.
• Pests and Diseases: Watch for common pests like aphids and leaf miners. Use organic pest control methods to manage infestations.
• Harvesting: Begin harvesting the outer leaves when they are about 15-20 cm long. This encourages new growth and provides a continuous supply of fresh greens.

Swiss Chard Colour Blend is not only beautiful but also packed with vitamins A, C, and K, making it a nutritious addition to your garden and meals. Happy gardening! 🌈
