Chard question. [View all]

I planted some regular chard (not Swiss) last year. It lasted through the winter and finally has started to bolt. I was beginning to think it was going to be the oldest chard ever. Anyway, some of the plants have not bolted yet. Would it be okay to eat? Even though it is about 14-15 months old? I was afraid it might be bitter.
