Well, they mostly tried to demolish the Broccoli that was next to them,
I think they ate some of the chard "just because".

Here are pics. They destroyed the Horseradish utterly:

Oh, those aren't cabbage worms. Those stripes make them look a
bit like some sort of army worm. (Army worms' favorite food plants
are grasses, but they'll settle for eating just about anything. And they
tend to appear in masses, thus the "army.")

Cabbage worms are pretty much plain green. (And cabbage loopers
and diamond back moth caterpillars, are mottled shades of green as
well.)

I think the one thing that helped keep them off the chard more was the
fact that I planted a patch of Pennyroyal that happily grew in around it.

Thanks for the ID! I've had a lot of trouble with those things but I'm
sure BT would work for them.
