I've got a heap of silver beat, planted six months ago, that's gone to

Ours did the same, one moment we were looking forward to a good crop and
the next day it was all going to seed head.

You can cut them back if you want to, but once they are in that stage they
stay that way.

We just tend to remove all the larger leaves and crop the smaller
leaves continuously as a crop when this happens. Perhaps not the most
productive, but it does give you a continuous feed (if you have enough
plants).
