April-early May.  If you can resist an early cutting, what you will have grown is your own, local seed supply.  Let the flowers mature and save the seed.  You can then plant some of that for the second season (late summer) and reserve the rest for next year.  Very very cool.

I have some swiss chard that actually survived under row cover.  When should I expect it to bolt?
