Swiss Chard Update: Mid-Season Growth Audit and Selective Harvesting

As we reach the mid-point of the growing season for Swiss chard, it's time to check on our plants and see how they are doing. Swiss chard is known for its vibrant colors and tasty leaves, which are packed with nutrients. During this growth audit, look for healthy, large leaves that are a deep green and not overly wilted or yellowing, as these are signs of good health. It's also important to remove any damaged or pest-infested leaves to keep the plant growing strong. When it comes to harvesting, we can start picking the outer leaves while allowing the inner ones to continue growing. This way, we can enjoy fresh Swiss chard for our meals while promoting even more growth for the rest of the season. Regular checks and selective harvesting can help us maintain a productive and healthy Swiss chard garden.
