When I was small , my parents bought a home with 9 acres of land . Much of it was planted in apple trees , but there was also an asparagriss patch in the back corner . As long as you picked the spears routinely , they kept reproducing year after year .

Perennials can be less work.

Enjoyed the link.I haven't tried many of what was listed but several look interesting to consider. I did grow sun chokes for several years but found I don't care for their flavor. I bought the sun chokes from the produce department at a local grocery store. I did the same with tumeric and ginger but I'm not certain they made it through the winter even though it's relatively mild here. We still get a hard freeze a couple times each year.

Very good link. Some of these I have planted and still have, Rhubarb, Asparagus, Kale, Garlic and Chard. Unfortunately, a large cedar tree is expanding it's roots into the garden and slowly chocking off many plants. Still I got a few tips from the link. Thanks

I am a sucker for fruit, which of course are generally perennials (except melons). I just saw yesterday my wild dewberry patch in my back yard has burst into blossoms. And all I had to do was stop mowing them down last year and to be patient. Now I wonder how many berries I will get after birds and raccoons are finished, lol

Some of those I have never heard of. Nice info.
