Last week I sowed a couple of cell packs of Swiss chard. I am growing the same kind as last year – “Fordhook Giant”.
So let me backtrack a little to my Swiss chard fiasco of 2013. In the spring, I sowed a couple of cell packs with Swiss chard and everything was going well until I transplanted the seedlings outside where they were ALL promptly eaten by rabbits. But I was determined to have Swiss chard so I started again (after putting up a make-shift chicken wire fence around all 4 beds).
