RE: Growing Perennial Vegetables for More Freedom
This is great. I am heading to your links to learn more because perennials are definitely the way to go and a foundation of permaculture. But, I wonder about the taste. These not-so-heard-of vegetables....bland and bitter or simply vegetables that are surprisingly not on every menu? Thanks for the information!
Thank you! :) As far as taste it really depends on the person and the specific vegetable. Some like miners lettuce are mild and really taste a lot like lettuce. Others can be spicey or even lemony. French sorrel has a nice lemony flavor that can be great in salads. Others like sweet potatoes are of course very common and great. Then there are the air potatoes that are supposed to taste just like a potato but grow on vines that climb trellises!
Really perennial vegetables are just like our traditional ones. Some you will like and some you won't. The hard part though is figuring out which ones you like since they are often not found in grocery stores.
