PLANTING

Beta vulgaris

Germination: 5-10 days

Germination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures 70-85ºF.

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/2” deep

Starting Indoors: 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Sow 2-3 seeds per cell/pot. Thin to the strongest seedling. Fertilize the seedlings every 7-10 days with a liquid or water soluble fertilizer, diluted to ¼ of the suggested measurement. Start transplanting a week or two before last frost. Space 10-18" apart.  

Sowing Outdoors: Mid spring into early summer. Starting when soil temperature reaches at least 50ºF. Germination is slower in cooler temperatures. Sow 3-4 seeds every 10-18” apart. Thin to the strongest seedling per space. Sow 40-50 days before the first fall frost for late summer/fall harvest.

How much does a packet plant: 10-15 foot single row 

Harvest: Remove outer leaves starting at 4-6” for baby salad greens. Use the mature leaves and center ribs cooked or raw.

Tips: Fordhook Swiss Chard needs fertile well drained soil. Tolerates both cold and hot temperatures and can grow from spring until frost. Sow a few times a summer for continuous greens.

Great Gift for Young Coders
“Got this as a gift for a kid who’s starting to get curious about coding, and he really liked it. The visuals are clear, the instructions are easy to follow, and it breaks big programming ideas into fun, manageable steps. It’s not overwhelming, and it actually makes learning feel doable. Perfect for kids (or adults) who want to dip their toes into coding without getting lost in the jargon.” — Praying to the car gods

Surprisingly Accessible for All Ages
This is an excellent introduction to coding concepts. The book is beautifully laid out with clear, step-by-step instructions and helpful diagrams that make complex ideas easy to understand. The highest praise I can give is that I've been reading it side-by-side with my 5-year-old, and the visuals and explanations are simple enough for her to grasp the basic concepts. It sparks great conversations about how technology works. It's a fantastic resource not just for adult beginners, but also for parents looking to introduce computational thinking to young children in a fun, engaging way. Highly recommended for visual learners and family learning.

Slightly disappointed
I’m already familiar with most of the languages in this book, but I figured it would be fun to do some of the projects they had inside. I was disappointed to find out when I received it, that the first two images on the product listing are not from this book. I was looking forward to building a password generator which it does not have in here. Also, the ‘build a game’ page for Scratch is different too. You still build a game but not what you expect from what is shown on Amazon. Still worth picking up if you want to learn to code or teach your kids.

Must Have For Beginner Coders
I am just starting out learning the concepts of coding, because I would like to start making my own video games as a hobby. I have purchased other "how-to" guides for beginners, which ended up being very confusing and required a more intermediate level of knowledge with coding. I am very happy with this book, as it provides straightforward and easy to understand lessons in four different coding languages, along with access to a free-to-use coding program so you can practice each lesson step-by-step in real time. The book is very colorful and laid out well with lots of pictures to illustrate each step in the process. I highly recommend this book for people like me, who are just starting out with coding and want to grasp the fundamentals before jumping into the deep end.
