Bill sort of a grazer myself

Billy and his post on more plants in daily diet got me here.


Which of those is perennial? The brassicas types are all annuals. The
alliums will self seed or grow from bulblets etc but each generation only
lasts a year or less.

Dang, busted.

OK, Bill, empty the plastic wading pool. I'll get the umbrellas.
I told you we should have stuck with the bamboo. Sure was lookin'
forward to the garlic chives though.


Ah the wading pool I miss it. Still my mints come back as the
rosemary and a few others like sage, Got some Egyptian onions that
winter over too. Day lilies abound also.
My idea of perennial food is not only like the mint but more like the
seed that continues on in time. Yea not a perennial but perennial in
a way.

Perhaps poor word choice.

Bill whose garlic chives are up and about with a lot of non edible
perennials who I wonder about. Oak acorns are every where but the
prep to remove the hazard eludes me still I wonder about if squirrels
and early americans and pigs why not?
