Swiss chard Bright Yellow produces sweet stems and crispy light green leaves.

RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. Excellent as a baby leaf in salads. Slow to bolt and has good winter hardiness. Firstly cropping frommid-summer to autumn, and the tasty leaf beet will re-emerge after a milder winter, to produce a super early spring leaf crop.

Can be treated as a cut and come again crop. Young,tender leaves are eaten fresh as a salad green, or mature leaves can becooked like you would cook spinach, steamed, boiled or sautéed in a littlebutter.

Start cutting the leaves when about 10 cm tall, can be cut 4-5 times a year and the colour intensifies in cooler weather.

Sow the chard seeds thinly, early March-late June, about 2cm apart in rows, 2cm deep. Allow about 30cm between the rows. Can be sown as early as end of January in a frost-free greenhouse.

As the seedlings develop, thin them to about 10cm apart.
