Transplants

AlittleSalt · February 3, 2015

Today, I've been researching planting dates for my area. I'm using multiple sources, and making my personal planting chart/document. Progressing through the sites and printed materials, they all agree with certain vegetable/fruit types need to be planted as transplants. The list is short so I'll include the varieties in bold that I don't plan on growing.

Broccoli
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Chard, Swiss
Eggplant
Kohlrabi
Onion
Pepper
Tomato

Swiss Chard, I had never heard of growing it from transplant. I guess that's why only about half the seeds I direct sowed came up last year? How do you guys start Swiss Chard? The variety I have is Rainbow or Five Color Silverbeet.

Kohlrabi, Other than the picture on the seed pack, I've never seen it much less grown and eat it. Only two of the five sources suggested growing them from transplant. Again, any suggestions would be appreciated. The seed pack I have is Early White Vienna, and is a 20 cent pack. Just wanted to try it.

Thanks
