Loved this article [despite slightly trashy media feel] - some of these plants I've only eaten once or twice, or not seen in years!

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.
