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.

Hey ... Nobody ever mentioned that wasps like to build
their little hives attached to the underside of large
leaves.... I've found 3 so far, and tonight I was pickin'
some of them smaller leaves off the main stalk and
a couple wasps buzzed my head.. I ran like hell ( allergic
to bee sting ) .

Can't wait to cook them small leaves up an eat'em.
