Swiss chard is easy to grow and is very nutritious. Last year I planted 4 non bolting Swiss chard plants and barely watered them as we were gone most of the summer. I read somewhere that you could just trim this type of chard down and it would grow back. Indeed it does and we had Swiss chard growing from the same roots all this summer. Nice! The plants are very hardy and the chard is delicious. Pinch off the tops of the plants to encourage new growth.
Just pick it, wash it, chop it and put it in a pan with a drop of olive oil and just a drop of water. Cook till tender. Do not boil it the old fashion way and loose all the nutrients.
