- How to grow rainbow swiss chard from seed at home. Swiss chard is a low maintenance leafy green you can easily grow in your home. The hardest part is getting them to germinate successfully. After that it tends to grow well during the cool months as well as during summer.

Siloe!! I love to sautee the whole leaf, chop the stem like celery and start in the skillet with oil and lemon juice, after it brightens up from the heat add back the leaves and seasonings. I like garlic, turmeric, paprika and extra lemon juice before I remove it from.the heat. This is one of the plates that empties at family dinners the fastest
Chard is one of my favorites to grow. I start them at home and transplant them and haven't experienced too many problems. I also love the fact that it's bi-annual. I didn't have to plant it this year and the second year plants put out thousands of seeds! Great plant!
Looking at these wood frames in 2021 like they're made of solid gold...
I love steaming the stems of my swiss chard with rice in chicken broth. I then sautee some mushrooms, onions and bell peppers with some herbs, salt and chili peppers! I then take a nice piece of broiled salmon in butter and place it on a bed of the swiss chard and rice! Very nice!👍😋
Start indoors Siloe. I never had any trouble transplanting- same for beets.
I grew chard last year for the first time. I never wanted to cut it because it did look so beautiful...🙂
Great vid! Had a relaxing/zen quality to it while still being informative. Well done!
I often buy bright lights as transplants and even divide root balls ,being careful of the tap root. I haven't lost plants by doing it either. I have also found other varieties to germinate without issues, indoors or out. Lucky for us our plants survive in zone 7 for blooms in year 2.
I usually buy my Swiss chard as transplants for this very reason. Bright lights is my favorite with its vibrant colors. So good to use in smoothies, salads, and on sandwiches. Great video.
I agree that they do look ornamental! Swiss chard has been the least picky and one of the longest growing crops we have grown this year. Going to put some grass clipping around our plants this week. Thanks!
I have transplanted swiss chard many times and found it to be very resilient to being transplanted. Just be sure to water them
Chard is really an unsung hero in the garden! I did have some that developed rust once a few years back, but those came as starts from a garden center, so I suspect it was in that environment that it came from since that was the only time I've ever had an issue with disease on them. I usually start from seeds and transplant very carefully, and have great success. Thanks for another great video👍
Swiss chard is one of my favorite vegetables to grow over winter. I planted mine a little too close io my purple sprouting broccoli, and it is shaded out from the more vigorous neighbor, but I am still getting lots of baby leaves to add to salads and stir fries. I am going to plant more in the spring and give it a little more room to grow. It really is delicious and worth the fussy germination
Just yesterday I got to harvest my 1st bundles of rainbow chard. I have never seen them sold in Malaysia, but thank goodness there are seed sellers (they imported the seeds). Still i watch the video because I have more dead seedlings than living ones.
Your videos are amazing! Keep up the great work!
Excellent!!! These are the best 👌
im growing swiss chard in south texas with many days over 100 degrees, and they have been doing well with huge leaves they are about 15months old this will be the second summer for them. ohh and great video
I have never had any issues with planting mine, I even started mine in doors. Such an easy plant to grow!!
dude... this guy is FASCINATING... this is your first video that i've watched.... man... and then that incredible music on the outro... holy cow... that was insane. It gave it all a crazy mysterious vibe and i'm like.. "who IS this GUY!!!???" .....I love it...
Looking back how bare your new garden was! Have you considered a before/after? I love how it's so full and lush compared to this! Omg I feel your suffering, my dirt is bare sandstone, sand, clay and weeds with small beds just beginning. Love your work as always, when is your next album being released? 💖
