Beta vulgaris
(55 days for bunching, 35-40 days baby leaf) Open pollinated.

Bali chard is a spectrum leap from traditional rhubarb chard even at baby stage—it’s like putting little red lightning bolts in your salad mix. With a very dark lush green fully savoyed leaf, the veins and stalk contrast like fiery lava. Mouthfeel is juicy and succulent; flavor very mild. No odd bolting or wilting, no beet-rooted rejects or wiggly weird stems. Excellent regrowth for multiple harvests. This is red-chard perfection from Bejo Seeds.

Additional Information

Greens

  • Days to maturity are from emergence after direct seeding.
  • All greens are open-pollinated except where noted.

    Culture: When to harvest greens? Research from trials conducted in England and Kenya showed looseleaf lettuce, red chard and arugula harvested in the evening had a longer shelf life than when picked in the morning.

    Chard

    • About 1,000–2,800 seeds/oz. Seed size varies by variety
    • Days to maturity are from seeding date. Subtract 20 days for transplants.

    Salzer’s 1915 catalog opines, “Swiss chard produces more food for the table than almost any other vegetable and it also requires less care; it yields a constant crop from July to winter.” Same species as beets.

    Culture: Hardy and easy to grow. Can be sown almost as soon as ground can be worked in spring. Minimum germination temperature 40°, optimum range 50–85°. Space according to use—can be direct-seeded 2" apart for baby-leaf harvest; thin to 12–16" apart for large leaves. Soften thick ribs of chard, beets and other greens by braising. Also used for microgreens.

    Disease: Cercospora Leaf Spot (CLS) looks like someone shot small target-like circles in mature foliage. Prolonged periods of rain and high humidity exacerbate this disease. Rotating crops, removing plant debris, and wider row spacing for adequate air circulation are preventive measures.
