Sow outdoors as soon as soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for fall crops. Chard prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade, especially in hot climates. Work in compost for fertile, well-draining soil and steady growth.

Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep, spacing 2–3 inches apart in rows 12–18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 10–12 inches for full-size plants; use thinnings as baby greens. Keep soil evenly moist to prevent bitterness and promote tender leaves.

Harvest outer leaves first, allowing centers to keep producing. For baby greens, cut when 3–5 inches tall. Regular picking encourages continuous harvests from spring until hard frost.
