Morning fellow planters. I normally sow the seeds straight into the ground.
I have read in the magazine about sowing first in seed trays or root trainers.The root trainers are in use already and i was wondering how many seeds to a cell.
Has anyone else tried this? Your advice would be very useful.

Morning, Jad.....I've done this and it does work. Sow one seed per cell, which will produce 3-5 seedlings (much like beetroot) then thin out to one seedling per cell.
Good luck.
Thank you. Nice bright sunny day in North Cornwall. I will visit the greenhouse and get planting.
I have never had any trouble transplanting chard. They tend to sit for a week doing nothing, then their off an there's no stopping them!
