To get large leaves for baking, sow seeds widely spaced. Avoid sowing too early to avoid early flowering.

To harvest large leaves, make two sowings each year: one in mid-spring for summer and fall, and one in mid-summer for fall and the following spring. Use string to mark the bed and dig a 2cm trench along it. Sow seeds at 10cm intervals, cover with soil, water and label. Space the rows 38 to 45 cm apart. You can also sow the seeds in cells or on a windowsill for transplanting once they are 5cm tall. When transplanting, hold plants by the rootball or leaves rather than the stem.

For young salad leaves, sow successively between early spring and mid-summer, every 2-3 weeks. Sow seeds 2cm deep, in rows 5cm apart, with rows 20cm apart. You can also sow in 15cm wide ditches, spacing seeds 5cm apart in each direction.

Gradually thin out the Swiss chard seedlings to a distance of 30 cm for mature plants or 5 cm for young leaves. After transplanting, thin out the seedlings into cells so that you have only one plant per cell.

For planting, harden off young plants grown indoors for 7 to 10 days. Plant them 30 cm apart in rows 38 to 45 cm apart for broad leaves, or 5 cm apart in rows 20 cm apart for young leaves.

When it comes to watering, Swiss chard has deep roots and can withstand periods of drought. However, thorough watering every week during summer encourages increased leaf production. Potted plants require regular watering. Mulching helps conserve moisture and prevent weeds. Be careful about watering red-stemmed varieties, as they are prone to bolting.

For protection, use barriers and traps for slugs and snails. Birds can damage seedlings, so cover them with netting or horticultural fleece if necessary. For better quality leaves in winter, use tunnels of horticultural fleece to cover the rows.

The broad leaves are ready about 12 weeks after sowing. Start picking them from the outside of each plant by snapping or cutting the base of each stem. Remove any flowering stems that form to prolong the harvest. Harvest gradually as needed by cutting or snapping the outer stems. Harvest mature plants all at once by cutting the stems at the base.

Carriers:

We take great pride in the quality of our products and place particular importance on the shipping methods used and the speed of service. That’s why we work exclusively with reputable carriers offering affordable rates and real-time tracking of your package until its final destination. Once the order leaves our greenhouses, the carrier takes full responsibility for your package. We are not responsible for any risks associated with shipping. Please contact the carrier directly for any issues.

You must be present at the time of delivery, as we require a signature upon receipt. It is your responsibility to email us before delivery to notify us of your absence. If you prefer a delivery without a signature, please inform us when placing your order. However, you assume full responsibility in case of theft or weather-related damage.

We offer the option to choose your preferred carrier at checkout. We will do our best to ship your package via the selected company. However, in some cases, to ensure timely delivery, we may need to use another carrier. If you absolutely wish to keep your initial choice, please inform us when placing your order. Additional shipping fees may apply in such cases.

Shipping Costs:

    Shipping costs are determined based on the exact weight of your package, rather than a fixed rate. This ensures that you pay the exact cost of your order. We work with multiple delivery companies, allowing us to offer you the best price as well as the fastest and most efficient shipping option.

    Order Preparation:

    A confirmation receipt will be sent to you once your purchase is confirmed. We only ship across Canada from Monday to Wednesday to prevent packages from sitting in postal offices over the weekend. Once your order has been processed and shipped, you will receive a tracking number and an estimated delivery date. This tracking number allows you to check your order status in real-time until its final destination. Please check your spam folder if you do not receive a confirmation email. We do not provide delivery time estimates due to the high volume of orders we prepare.

    Order Cancellation:

    Want to cancel an order? We can issue a refund only if the order has not yet been processed and/or shipped. A $10 fee may apply in such cases.

    Combining Orders:

    We offer the option to combine multiple orders placed on our online store, as long as your order has not yet been processed. Only orders shipped to the same address and under the same name can be combined.

    Winter Shipping:

    During winter months, insulating packaging and heating packs are included in the shipping fees. In case of extreme cold, we reserve the right to suspend deliveries until temperatures are suitable for shipping.

    Local Delivery:

    We offer direct delivery from our greenhouses to your door throughout the Greater Montreal area, with cold-protected shipping. We do our best to deliver your order the same day or the next day. However, we do not deliver on weekends, and additional delays may apply for more distant regions, such as the South Shore. Hand-delivered on the same day, but your presence is required. We will call you to arrange the best day and time. Fees vary by zone, and an additional $10 fee may apply for large orders.
