3. Buy chard seeds by mail or a local nursery.
The grocery store sells seeds, but there’s are no good. They are made to have a long shelf life and won’t produce any chard. They’ll just have you waiting to see when they will germinate and nothing will happen.
Buying from mail or your local nursery gives you peace of mind in knowing you are getting high-quality seeds. They will produce chard, if you grow them correctly. When you buy chard seeds, you may want to wait until you are ready to plant them. That way they’ll be fresh to plant into the ground or modules. If you do buy them early, store them in a cool area.
There is no need to place them in the refrigerator because they’ll get wet. When ordering by mail, they will send them to you when it’s time to plant chard in your area.
