Grow Your Own At Home: Swiss Chard Bright Lights. Grow Swiss Chard Bright Lights on your vegetable...Grow Your Own At Home: Swiss Chard Bright Lights. Grow Swiss Chard Bright Lights on your vegetable plot for attractive stems in an inviting mixture of colours. Great crop for home-growing, this is the perfect addition to your plot. Not only are they visually appealing, the different colours attract different pollinating insects which pollinate nearby flowers of strawberries, tomatoes and other fruiting crops. Harvest the stems as baby leaves to bring colour to salads, leaving a number of other stems to mature. Cut and prepare these leaves separately for use in stir-fries. Pretty enough for the flower border too, we recommend this variety for allotments or indeed the garden flower border. Harvest: July - October. Very tasty - and pretty enough for the flower border. Use the leaves as spinach and the stalks (chards) chopped in stir fries. The young "baby leaves" are delicious in salads.
