| Scientific Name | Beta vulgaris |
| Growing Days | 60 |
| Varieties We Grow | Oriole, Rainbow, Perpetual Spinach |
| Growing Notes | Swiss chard will keep producing if you harvest the outer leaves and let the inner ones grow; it doesn’t bolt like other greens so it’s a keeper! |
| Battle of the Bugs | Snails, slugs, aphids, and leaf miners will take their share but that won’t usually kill the entire plant, so that’s a plus. |
| Fun Fact | Swiss chard is related to beets…not kale or collards. |
| Don’t Waste It! | Eat the greens like you would spinach (raw or cooked); save the stems and treat them like asparagus! |
