Rhubarb - Chard Charlotte

This variety adds colour and interest in salads. Pick young leaves for salads or larger leaves as spinach.

Sow outdoors thinly from April to July where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into prepared, well-drained soil, which has been watered. For cut and come again baby leaves, allow 20cm between rows, or sow thinly, directly into 25cm pots. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. No further thinning should be necessary. Keep moist. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply of leaves. Harvest from May to November. Pick a few leaves from each plant when approx. 10cm high. They will regrow for up to 4 cuts. For mature leaves, allow 30cm between rows and thin to 20cm apart. Harvest large leaves and stems, which can also be eaten, from June. Cook before eating.
