My swiss chard has bolted some time ago. The stalks are about
3 foot tall. I am hoping to gather some seeds from it for next
planting.

My question is: Can we continue to eat it..? Will it still be
palatable ? I've heard that some plants become more bitter
when this happens.

It should be fine, in fact the little leaves that it makes around the
flower
stem will be quite tender and sweet.

I agree, but the older leaves and the stalks will be tough.

Only 3' tall though? Mine have always been more like 6'!
