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.


It's a good concept. Maybe they could be called successionals. The trouble
is that word has already been claimed by ecologists and means something
different.
