Swiss Chard

[OldFart]

Has anybody in West or Middle TN tried to grow swiss chard? I had this on another post but let's try it here separately. I grow it very successfully in CO, I even picked some at Thanksgiving. It seems to be very tough and is supposed to do good in warm and cool climates. It tastes like spinach, only milder and can be used raw or cooked. Thanks Ray

It does great in my made-up soil 1/3s sand, compost and peat moss
Use raised beds, concrete blocks

Swiss Chard is awesome. A power-packed vegetable superior to spinach in slow bolting and in nutritional value. We've even had some plants overwinter successfully and keep producing.
