Protip with chard - people treat it like an annual but it's actually a biennial. if you leave one to continue growing, it'll get to about 7 feet tall and flower the next year. You can still pick leaves off it at this time - they're a bit more bitter but I love them in bakes and things. The advantage is, you don't need to plant any the next year as it will seed like crazy, and little chards will spring up so densely that they actually help suppress weeds. Then any areas that I want to clear I can just hoe over. The added bonus is when you want to get rid of the Mama chard, you get to re-enact Jack and the Beanstalk...
