Default Vegi Gardens

Sure there are--asparagus being the prime example. Also horseradish and
rhubarb. Jerusalem artichokes may as well be, since once you have them, you
have them forever, and they should grow in their own dedicated patch.

Plus, some of the plants we think of as annuals, because that's how we
harvest them, are actually biennials. Things like carrots and parsley will
flower in their second year, set seed, then die. I like to let a few go to
flower, because they are so popular with the tiny beneficial wasps.

Cheers,
Sue

*Are* there any perennial veg? Well, I'm sure there must be, but the
ones I'm familiar with are annuals. This is something I always mention
about herb gardens -- one doesn't want to plow up the perennials, nor
try and replant annuals within a perennial bed and disturb those good,
productive plants.
