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.
I'm only rating the Fordhook Swiss Chard on delivery time because I haven't planted any seeds, yet. I'm in the process of moving, so I haven't had time to drop any seeds. However, I know their going to do well when I do. 🙂
The chard grew really well against a West boarder fence facing East and getting lots of sun with late afternoon shade. My chickensand I enjoyed the abundance from just 2 plants in 2025. Thanks
So easy to grow and just keeps on producing, we picked this for over 6 months then had volunteers come up in the spring.
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.
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
