AnnualSwiss chard is packed with vitamins and minerals, it can be grown in hot climates as well as cold, handling it all with ease. If you plant it, just get ready for neighbors to be fed as well. Production will increase with every harvest. The fordhook variety specifically is one of the most prolific producers of swiss chard.
Planning ahead.
The Fordhook Swiss Chard is great. I grow it every year. It grows well and tastes great. I can grow it in Spring, Summer, Fall and it comes back the next Spring. I have tried to grow other colors of Swiss Chard, but I find that the Fordhook Swiss Chard grows the best.

Great fertilizer. Used for the first time last year for my fall bulbs and they were stunning and strong come spring. Planting another 250 bulbs this fall so came back for more bulb fertilizer. I also use the Trifecta. Can’t go wrong with any of Luke’s amendments.
Great germination and very prolific.
I grew this in a straw bale garden in 2025 and really enjoyed it. It grew amazingly well and was beautiful, so I purchased more for 2026. Michigan zone 6b.
I have grown these for the last few years and they are hands down my favorite. I like romas and firm tomatoes. These remind me of mini romas. These are less prone to splitting, super easy to harvest and has a super great flavor and very meaty. YUM!
The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
