Perennial vegetable plants
 
I'm told that most vegetable plants will die in the fall season.

What vegetable plants are hardy enough to survive from year to year, despite
the season? I don't want to waste time planting & caring for things that will
die no matter what I do to them.

Perhaps you should try another pastime, like knitting or welding.

You misunderstand. Its not a matter of being hardy enough. Most plants grown
as vegetables are naturally annuals or biennials. If you have a problem with
that, go complain to the creator!

There are very few perennial vegetables, like asparagus, potatoes,
horseradish and garlic, but then again you will still need to make an effort
to harvest them.

If you have a problem with things dying, then try taking up collecting books
or artwork and just buy your vegetables at the market.

try rhubarb, collard greens and asparagus...but what area are you in? that
may help define what you can grow.

Globe artichokes are perennial, if you're in a warm enough, but NOT hot zone.
(Coastal California is perfect.)

Peppers will overwinter quite nicely indoors if you have a bright spot for
them. They look like hell for a while when you first get them inside, but
getting them somewhat adjusted to lower-light conditions, in addition to
giving them some additional light indoors, will enable you to bring 'em in
for the winter. Just uproot and pot in the fall, or even grow them in pots
in the first place...

Artichokes, asparagus, Perrenial brocolli, perennial spinach, Kudzu (if
you count it as vegetable, it *is* edible!, Rhubarb, tree tomatoes...
Broad beans will give you 2 crops if cut back. Many tree fruits and cane
fruits return each year, as do strawberries.
Try looking up forest gardening for multi season producing crops.

How would that philosophy work, applied to children?

They, too, have to be "planted" and cared for, and they, too,
will die eventually, no matter what you do to them.

You "plant" children?

You are even nuttier than Ablang.

Your analogy makes no sense.

My thought exactly. It's sad to see how much effort kind folk will
make to seriously answer a troll. Unless poor Ablang is, what's the
proper term these days?, "developmentally challanged."

Educationally Different???
