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.
