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.
A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows
ive got around 10 rhubarb crowns grow from seed in there first year so should see some fruit next year . Ill be planting some Asparagas once the gardens finished.
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.
Some days it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints!
One bit of old folklore wisdom says to plant tomatoes when the soil is warm enough to sit on with bare buttocks. In surburban areas, use the back of your wrist. Jackie French
