Ruby Red Swiss Chard
I’ve grown a ton of chard in the past and this last batch has definitely been like learning all over again. Truthfully I think it’s tied more to the seed than anything. I changed up soil, soaking time, planting methods, and watering cycles and think I have it figured back out. Seems a longer soak then normal is helping soften the seed hulls which is yielding much better germination rates! Still need to figure out a way to get them to shed the hulls better thou.
