- •One Swiss Chard seed cluster produces 2–4 sprouts — sow slightly less dense than single-seed varieties.
- •Blackout for 3–4 days encourages stem elongation and colour development.
- •Swiss Chard grows slowly — be patient; harvest window is day 10–14.
- •Bottom-water throughout to keep the coloured stems dry and vibrant.
