Late comer here. I absolutely love the step-by-step directions with all the details. Just wondering about fertilizing this plant - what it likes and how often and how much sun. Thank you.

I like how you explain how to thin out and how to tell which ones to thin out. Every step of the way is explained. 👍I’d like to try to grow the Ford hook giant Swiss chard leaves.

I'm really enjoying your videos. I was wondering if you were able to mention on them when you are sowing and harvesting the plant please?

SO glad to find this! I need to try and do this asap. Can the soil be mixed horse manure with some old compost. How do you get the plants out that are all in one hard plastic tray with no sections. Will cutting in a square with a knife around each plant be safe or how to do plse??? I only have basic tools! Thanx.

And to every wild animal of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything moving on the earth in which there is life, I have given all green vegetation for food.” And it was so

No doubt these fruits and greens are amazing for us, as Jehovah God saw it to be very beneficial for humans to eat them. Keep indulging friends, they are a healthy choice gifted to our bodies by our
