If you allow swiss chard to winter over and flower you will find that it makes the most heavenly scented flowers you've ever sensed. They are incredibly heady, their scent wafts across the garden and blows your mind...you want to go grab your partner...the scent is that intense. To balance yins and yangs Mother Nature has also made chard flowers among the most butt-ugly flowers in the garden. Chard looks like a nasty, horrid weed when in bloom. The flowers will attract a LOT of bees, so if you must, cultivate under the plants with a very long hoe.
