These plants thrive in a soil with a pH between 6 and 6.4. Adding a compost and sand to the soil is an excellent idea, as it will balance the pH while allowing the plants to have loose enough soil to grow strong roots. Sow seeds with rows and plants around 18” apart, covering each seed with about ¼” of soil. After around 55 days, these plants are ready to be harvested. For continual growth all summer long, it is beneficial to harvest the stems individually by removing them from the plant. Be careful not to damage the plant itself as you do this. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFacts:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e These greens are Organic, Non-GMO, Heirloom, Open Pollinated with a high germination rate.

An excellent and fun summer crop that sells well at farmers markets due to its striking color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSelect a Different Use for This Seed:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"profile-links\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/swiss-chard-seeds-ruby-red-organic-microgreens-seeds?variant=12706238595187\"\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/tlm-microgreens.png?4946520050077590398\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eMicrogreen\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Organic Ruby Red Swiss Chard Vegetable Garden Seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e beta vulgaris subsp. circla\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 55 days\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6+\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e ¼”\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18”\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRow Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-24”\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich soil with a pH level of 6 to 6.4\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemp Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warmer\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full or Partial Sun\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePests\/diseases:\u003c\/strong\u003e Susceptible to Slugs and aphids\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark green leaves with ruby stems.\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e similar to spinach and beet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Directions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Ruby Red Organic Swiss Chard seeds can be sown a couple of weeks before the final frost of the season, in an area with a zone of 6 or above, and full sunlight. These plants thrive in a soil with a pH between 6 and 6.4. Adding a compost and sand to the soil is an excellent idea, as it will balance the pH while allowing the plants to have loose enough soil to grow strong roots. Sow seeds with rows and plants around 18” apart, covering each seed with about ¼” of soil. After around 55 days, these plants are ready to be harvested. For continual growth all summer long, it is beneficial to harvest the stems individually by removing them from the plant. Be careful not to damage the plant itself as you do this. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFacts:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e These greens are Organic, Non-GMO, Heirloom, Open Pollinated with a high germination rate.
