Beets and Chard are Falling Over

Hello All,

I've noticed recently that my beets and swiss chard are falling over. They seem to be otherwise healthy plants, that get plenty of sun. We had a rain last night and it seems to have really knocked them down, but uptil then, it has been pretty dry and I have just been watering them with my drip irrigation system. They were laying down before, but after the rain they are worse.

What am I doing wrong here? They are in a 1/3 compost, 1/3 peet moss, and 1/3 vermiculite soil mixture in a raised bed.

New to gardening so any help is much appreciated.
