Quick plant to harvest time

Grow Swiss Chard Bright Lights as part of your kitchen garden; not only is it colourful and brings your vegetable growing to live, it’s really tasty too and offers a rare aniseed flavour to hearty dishes ready in the autumn.

Bright Lights is happy growing in a bed or a raised planter like a VegTrug to suit you and the space you have outdoors. Enjoy the fresh taste of Swiss Chard with the unique natural taste of aniseed right through the autumn.

How to plant:

Get the soil ready now by digging over and raking the area. At planting time space your young plants around 15-20cm (6-8in) apart. Plant them in a multi-purpose compost and treat to a feed of Growmore as you notice the young plants start to develop in earnest.

Keep your plants well-watered; twice to three times a day if it a warm September and autumn. Cut the leaves at harvest time when the leaves are around 30-40cm (12-16in) high.

Useful tip:

Constant weeding is ultra-important around your Swiss Chard Bright Lights plants as they develop over the autumn. Use a hand hoe in containers or larger hoe if growing garlic directly in the beds.
