Swiss Chard Seed. Organic Fordhook Giant Chard. Pkt.

Description New! 50-60 days Heirloom (Beta vulgaris) Deeply pleated leaves of rich dark green make quite a contrast to the white, ribbed stems. Swiss Card makes a fine stand-in for spinach when the weather turns off too warm for the latter; when trimmed, the wide, succulent midribs are almost another vegetable in their own right. Yields all summer and well into cool autumn weather. Introduced in 1924. 39,500 seeds/lb Pkt (~200 seeds), plants 30′
