I’m very interested in the idea of perennial gardens because I like the
idea of having a garden that just comes up each year. Hard to argue with
that idea, at least if you’re me :). To that end, I want to make a list of
‘perennial vegetables’. I know that rhubarb and asparagus are perennial. I
also know that hostas are edible, although I currently feel a bit shy
about eating them. Dandelions are also a perennial candidate.
This
Michigan company has
some perennial vegetables available. I like their quote about their strain
of asparagus:
“The original plants were wild and surrounded by quackgrass. The asparagus
was winning. Our 80 year old neighbor lady is occasionally seen jumping
the fence to pick our asparagus. Memo to self: Give some asparagus plants
to our neighbor rather than the pole vault.”
