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.
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.
Germination rates are high on all the MI Gardener seeds I’ve purchased, and customer service is great!!
Grew these for the past three years and I will keep growing them for many more. I highly recommend them. Great germination rate. Every onion grew to the size of baseballs and others a bit bigger and they store very well.Best long day onion I have ever grow.
I am very happy with my heirloom seeds. I cannot wait to germinate them.
Started my seeds on 12/31/25. I’ve had almost 100% germination and the onion seedlings are a couple of inches tall at this point (1/9/26). Looking forward to a great harvest!
Grew these last year, so I bought more seeds! they were awesome, very prolific and tasted great!!
I started them early....did waterjug winter seed starts .. they did very well....grew up to be nice sturdy plants, bearing lots of fruit! Thank You!!
