Growing Silverbeet, also Swiss Chard or Mangold

View the Silverbeet page

01 Apr 19 Pat S (Australia - temperate climate)
I planted my silverbeet a couple of months ago,I started picking it the leaves and stalks were great but now the leaves are turning brown the centre of the plant is also brown and the leaves are 'narrowing'. What disease have I got and can I replant in the same spot if so what should I use to clean the soil to prevent a recurrence. Many thanks
