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.

Your plants will still be edible. Pick all the leaves once you harvest the
seeds as the plants will die. They're biennials.

You can slow things down by cutting the bolting stalk.
