It's been asked several times if chard goes on & on. Just to bear out what I've said before  - the old & the new:

One of my new yellow bright lights went immediately to seed.  I pinched out the flowering stem to see if it will produce any new leaves....will it?  The rest are looking great - have yellow, white and red.  Delish!  ;D
