The swiss chard is still hanging on, of the two varieties I planted the fordhook is doing much better than the five color silver beet. The fordhook is a green chard with white stems, whereas the five color comes up in.... about five colors. I pick all of those leaf by leaf so that the plant can keep on growing. The bok choi though I cut out whole. I had to leave a lot of it in the garden, as there were slugs and snails tucked behind the stems.
There is also futo negi left, they are the gigantic bunching onions I was given earlier this year. They grow like chives but are very large, I can't wait for them to spread. I think they will fall into the hardy catigory, they show up very early in the spring and are one of the last to go in the fall.

Love that you are still growing such yummy-looking veggies in your climate at this time of year! I am lazy with the remay but live in Seattle where it's milder. Vermont is so cool, we love it there!
It looks so good! I surely like those bunching onions. Do they bloom too?
Greenwalks thank you so much for your comment, Vermont is a great place to be! I do end up almost living under remay in late fall and early spring though. Sometimes I wish it were just a little milder in the winter so I could grow things like figs!
The bunching onions were a gift from a Tommy Thompson neighbor so I really don't know what they are. They are so great I shear them off just like chives, they have bloomed but I was told to pop the flowers off. The flowers were small and white not that showy.
Great looking veggies. I liked Vermont--just wish I'd seen more of it while there.
