Hm, only one plant came out of each chard seed I planted.

Does chard need to have plastic around it in winter or will it be OK left as is?

That's so true! I planted chards in the early winter and they didn't sprout until late spring one year later. So they had a mind of their own. And usually the aphids get to all of my veggies but not the chards!!! That's so cool! And they're absolutely delicious and easy to grow. They grew like weeds!
