    Easy to grow - i have far more than I know what to do with so I’ve begun giving it away to neighbors. Beautiful plant grown along side red lettuce and mustard greens. Great side dish sautéed in garlic and oil with some salt and pepper. Grown in late fall/early winter here in zone 9 b. Will grow again next year for sure!

    Zone 5b. The spring sowing of the Celebration Swiss Chard seeds grew decently in my vertical planter. I cut a few stems at a time and allowed the plants to continue to grow throughout the summer and into early fall. I attempted another fall sowing, but those plants did not take.

    I bought a packet of these seeds back in 2017. Sadly, my mother was diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer around the same time and the seeds were never planted. I came across the packet this spring and decided to plant them with low expectations for success. The seeds germinated well and I still have a thriving row in my raised bed garden in late October.

    I sowed the whole packet after soaking half and only one seed sprouted.
