PICK SWISS CHARD
Swiss chard, despite its slightly exotic look, is very hardy and makes a really good winter vegetable.The leaves can be eaten like spinach when young and tender, and through the winter the thick stalks can be braised, steamed and used in casseroles. Regardless of whether you grow red, white or mixed stalks, chard makes a good alternative winter veg and the stalks will store a while in the fridge.
ENJOY ROASTED PARSNIPS
Winter dinners wouldn’t be the same without roasted parsnips! We love them in our house and this root vegetable is a regular part of our diet from November through until April and, as well as roasting and mashing the roots, we also make a delicious soup from them. Being totally hardy they can remain in the soil all winter, although they can be lifted and stored in damp sand or the fridge.
