How to Harvest Swiss Chard


We have some beautiful swiss chard growing in the garden and some of it is just about ready to be harvested. The leaves should be about 18inches tall and blemish free. Grab the outer leaf that you want at the base of the plant and pull down forcefully it should snap off, leave the center leaves intact. The outer leaves will regenerate and we will have swiss chard again in a month. Check out this great video volunteer Heide found for us http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-harvest-swiss-chard.
