6 SWISS CHARD – 6.107 - HARVESTING and KITCHEN  

 
Harvesting:
Older leaves are usually harvested first when the plant has about eight leaves. Proper management of pests and diseases is crucial for a good harvest.
Profitability:
Swiss chard farming can be quite profitable. For example, with proper care, you can expect a yield of 10-30 tons per acre. Selling at around KES 14 per kilogram, you could generate significant revenue.
 
Companion Plants for Swiss Chard
Try growing Swiss chard with:
 
Tomatoes; Cabbage; Broccoli; Radish; Lettuce; Celery; Onion; Garlic; Leek ; Chives
Bean; Peas.
 
Don’t plant Swiss chard with:
 
Cucumber, Corn, Melon, Potato
 
How to Harvest and Use Swiss Chard
Use a sharp knife and cut the large, outer leaves at the bottom of the stalk about an inch off the ground. Don’t be tempted to rip or snap the stalk as this can damage the plant and allow disease into it. Plants are ready 40-60 days after planting when they’re 6-8 inches tall.
 
One of the great things about chard is you can pick the large leaves as you need them and allow the smaller ones to grow. A few healthy plants should last your family for the season, especially if you stagger your planting.
 
Swiss chard is versatile and tasty. Sautee it in a little butter and freshly ground nutmeg, add it to stews at any point in the cooking or eat it fresh, thinly sliced in salads. Add it to pasta dishes and use it in place of spinach.
 
I put it in the blender with meat to make burgers and the kids have no idea it’s in there.

6 SWISS CHADI – 6.107 - KUVUNA na JIKO
 
Kuvuna:
Majani ya zamani kwa kawaida huvunwa kwanza wakati mmea una majani takriban nane. Udhibiti sahihi wa wadudu na magonjwa ni muhimu kwa mavuno mazuri3.
Faida:
Kilimo cha chard cha Uswizi kinaweza kuwa na faida kubwa. Kwa mfano, kwa uangalifu mzuri, unaweza kutarajia mavuno ya tani 10-30 kwa ekari. Kwa kuuza karibu KES 14 kwa kila kilo, unaweza kupata mapato makubwa.

Jinsi ya Kuvuna na Kutumia Swiss Chard
Tumia kisu kikali na ukate majani makubwa, ya nje chini ya bua kwa karibu inchi moja kutoka ardhini. Usijaribiwe kung'oa au kunyakua bua kwani hii inaweza kuharibu mmea na kuruhusu ugonjwa kuingia ndani yake. Mimea huwa tayari siku 40-60 baada ya kupanda ikiwa na urefu wa inchi 6-8.
 
Mojawapo ya mambo mazuri kuhusu chard ni kwamba unaweza kuchukua majani makubwa kama unavyohitaji na kuruhusu yale madogo kukua. Mimea michache yenye afya inapaswa kudumu familia yako kwa msimu, hasa ikiwa unasumbua upandaji wako.
 
Chard ya Uswizi ni ya aina nyingi na ya kitamu. Pika katika siagi kidogo na nutmeg iliyosagwa, uiongeze kwenye kitoweo wakati wowote wa kupikia au uile safi, iliyokatwa nyembamba kwenye saladi. Ongeza kwenye sahani za pasta na uitumie badala ya mchicha.
 
Ninaiweka kwenye blender na nyama ili kutengeneza burgers na watoto hawajui kuwa iko huko.
