3. Space the seeds about one to two inches apart.
Use a measuring tape, if you are unsure how many inches that is. Measuring tape will be a vital tool when you begin gardening. Everything has to be just right.
If you space them too close together, then the Swiss chard will be jumbled up. Once you place the seeds into the hole, water the spot. This allows the soil to settle. This will allow the seeds to germinate.
Depending on how large you want your garden, you’ll need to have many rows for the Swiss chard. A new gardener should start with three rows of Swiss chard to get a hang of how they grow. When you water the soil, pat it down gently with the trowel.
Everything you sow, use your measuring tape to get the spaces just right. Once you finish spacing, you can feel confident in knowing your Swiss chard will grow perfectly.
