Wow, that thing does look like it’s on steroids!!!

Maybe it just happens to be sitting in some very prime soil that’s loaded with natural fertilizers!!!

It does sound like it has gone to seed. Let the seeds dry and then save them.
This post makes me wish for summer again!

Steven, how do I know when the seeds are dry? Is this common? I grew Swiss Chard last year and this did not happen. This stalk came up almost in a month. The other 5 plants are just growing as usual. What’s your recipe for green and beans? Is the recipe on your site? If so, link to it.

Yes, your swiss chard has gone to seed. My wife recommends that you let the seeds dry on the plant as long as possible, then take the remaining seeds and put them in an envelope for next year's planting. You can plant in cooler times like early fall or early spring. You'll actually find that you'll probably get some "volunteer" chards, as they will likely reseed themselves. Hey---are you going to make some greens and beans? Try it out---it's delicious! Stevens last blog post..Gas Free Push Mower: The Sequel!!!
