Let’s Take a STUNNING Swiss chard Tour

We are growing lots of swiss chard in the garden. Swiss chard is one of my favorite crops to grow because of how stunning it is.

There is something — no matter how many years I garden, that I just love seeing other gardeners in their garden talking about very simple things like this. It’s calming, it’s refreshing. Simple tours on progress & thoughts. Not enough garden shows out there that do that.

They are all a feast for the eyes! But the orange stalk with deep burgundy leaves is so gorgeous it took my breath away.

I love that you had dirt on your hands. In a lot of gardener videos I see, their hands look like they have never touched dirt. Gardeners should have dirty hands. I'm a dirty hands snob. Lol 😀

Beautiful AND delicious, and so easy to grow. Last year was my first year growing swiss chard, it kept growing throughout the cold Ohio weather, so I let one plant go to seed this year to save the seeds. BUT I didn't even need to plant any because the seeds that dropped germinated and grew, now I have a whole bed of swiss chard. Yum!✌🏼💜🙏🏼💪🏼🌱🌱🌱

Hi Luke. I love swiss chard. I have swiss chard in my garden ALL year long in Cape town. All the different colors. My only enemy is snales/slugs but a quick beer trap sorts that out quickly. So easy to grow and versatile in the kitchen.

It’s so crazy I have been watching you ever since you first started a long long time ago .
Some YouTubers come and go after a few years but you stayed in there.
God bless .

We call it Silverbeet here in NZ and anybody who has a vege garden always has it growing here - as far back as I can remember. Its is super easy to grow and as you say, beautiful -lush with all kinds of colours. It doesnt go to seed the way spinach does, as soon as it gets hot, and self seeds easily. I chop it up and put it in many different dishes. I do find, however, that some of the green and white varieties, taste sweeter than the rainbow variety. Darn it!! i"m growing a new variety here, called Peppermint which has bright pink stems at the base, fading to white and then soft green leaves. I'm hoping i"ll get sweetness and colour together. They are all fantastic though and my garden is NEVER without Silverbeet. Thanks for bringing it into the spotlight - much deserved.

My Fordhook Giant lived up to it's name - some stems were nearly 4 inches wide! I had some ruby chard too that GLOWED hot pink when the morning sun hit it - SUCH a joy, and so delicious. And healthy too. Love your enthusiasm Luke - it's wonderful to see and sorely needed. Cheers!

Swiss chard is so gorgeous. I’ve got a small patch growing in a container and a Ford hook giant in another. Very beautiful and very productive. Tastes so good after it freezers. Last year we ate it raw each time we went outside just because it was so sweet

You really did full justice to the beauty of nature, Luke 🙌🏽💕

I live in England and my Swiss charts are still look fantastic in Nov. Part from daily cooking, I made some dry vegetables from it, plant a lot for ornamental purpose, my chickens love the leaves. Thanks Luke for your sharing.

Swiss chard is my favorite garden vegetable. I even have my husband liking (tolerating) it. I plant it as soon as possible in the spring and try to keep it going until fall.

I am 2.5 hours east of Luke, other side of Lake Huron in Canada. My chard was decimated by leaf miner anywhere in my garden, even in grown in containers on my deck until I tried interplanting. Now I plant Rainbow Lights chard at the foot of my cordoned indeterminate tomatoes with a row of basil and chives to surround them. I let the basil and chives flower for the bees, beauty and aroma. My chard is 100% leaf miner free and very prolific. After the basil and chives have faded and more space opens up from pruning the tomatoes, I fill in the gaps with Fordhook Giant Chard.

Good morning from Trinidad and Tobago!

I always have Swiss Chard growing and also just love seeing its beautiful colours in my garden. Cooking the colourful stems brightens up any dish. 👍

Swiss Chard is so easy to grow and it keeps growing through the heat of summer and the fall frosts.

[DanaN]

Swiss chard is always in my garden love it. Grew some of the rainbow this year beautiful and tastes great..

[IlkinKarachay]

I too fell in love with these beauties in such a way that i am planning to grow these plants instead of some flowers if I can receive the seeds of good varieties. They are just a miracle, both food and ornamental. The one that has dark redy- magenta leaves with orange stems is hypnotizing me

[direbearcoat]

This was very educational. Yes! I can definitely see how this video can teach me about swiss chard and how to grow and harvest them.

[marthakratz]

I love all the colors and variations of Swiss chard also and the taste as well. I usually slice, blanch and freeze a portion of them in meal sized ziploc baggies.
