      Only asparagus at the moment. And rhubarb, but most people count that as a fruit.

          I'm growing asparagus from seed and we have just been given some decking boards to build a raised bed. Quite a few years ago I grew something called everlasting cauliflower which was quite successful until my OH cut it down to the ground - I have just found a nursery which sells cut and come again cauliflower and have just been trying to order some. Couldn't get past their ordering system. I've been trying to grow welsh onions but have never been successful. Once established on my lottie I will have another go. I think rhubarb is classed as a perennial veggie.

            Location - Leicestershire - Chisit-land
            Endless wonder.

              Welsh Onions, Wild Leeks, three cornered leek, rhubarb, asparagus, Jerusalem and Globe Artichokes, lovage (big enough to count as a veg) ......

                  I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

                          Cheers for all the answers. I am trying to get hold of perennial kale which is only available as
                          young plants. It has to be vegetatively propagated.

                            How can chives be perennial? It dies in summer due to the heat, and in winter due to the cold! Nothing perennial about them

                            I haven't had much luck with asparagus or rhubarb but I'm going to try again this year.

                            What the heck are Welsh onions? I've got Aussie Onions spring onions that keep multiplying TG.
                            And what's a 3 cornered leek when it's at home?

                            I've grown perennial lettuce - some is still going. And perennial broccoli, it went on for ages which was great because my family is addicted to green vege's unlike most people's kids. I'd like to see some perennial carrots too since between the kids and the horses we go thru tonnes of the b*ggars.
