Chard stressed in heat
June 28, 2009
Rainbow chard is not very tolerant of heat, especially if its roots dry out a little. The recent hot and dry spell may cause your rainbow chard to bolt and flower instead of producing lots of leaves. If you see a stem developing then you need to cut it back to about 3 cm above the ground. You can use the leaves in much the same way as you would use spinach leaves. See the video for full instructions.
