Perennial vegetables are plants that live for more than two years so they can be planted once and provide many years worth of food. They require little maintenance and give structure to both the look of a garden and the soil as they are not removed annually. They can also provide a rich harvest of potentially expensive produce and are key component to Permaculture principles.
These plants are an integral part of any successful forest garden, being incorporated into both the herbaceous layer (like a ground cover), or even low growing canopy layer (like overstory trees and shrubs). Take a tour of the small garden below that contains over 30 edible perennial plants to give you some ideas you can use to incorporate some perennials into your own garden.
Plant them once, and harvest the rewards for years. Check it out….
