If your garden space is limited, Swiss Chard must have a place, for in proportion to ground occupied, Swiss Chard produces more food for the table than almost any other vegetable. The leaves are used for greens the same as spin- ach or beet tops. Sow early in spring, in rows 16 inches apart, and thin out to 6 inches in the rows. It can be used all summer when Spinach is not available. The leaves grow very large, with broad, flat, pure white stems, and mid-ribs, which may be cooked like asparagus, or made into very good pickles. As it grows, thin out for use and keep clear of weeds. Good cultivation increases its tenderness. Gardeners use Swiss Chard as a catch crop, giving quick results on temporarily idle spaces.
