1. Start by choosing a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil. Swiss chard prefers full sun but can tolerate some shade.
2. Prepare the soil by loosening it with a hand trowel or garden fork and adding compost or aged manure to improve its nutrient content.
3. Sow Swiss chard seeds directly into the soil in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. Plant the seeds about 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
4. Water the seeds immediately after planting to help them germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.5. As the seedlings grow, thin them out to about 6-12 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
