Why Perennials?
There are so many advantages to growing perennial vegetables! Here are just a few…
They are good for the soil
They are less disruptive than annuals as,once planted, they stay in place for a number of years
They are more resistant to extremes of weather such as drought which is a huge advantage as our climate changes
Their deep roots make them less reliant on regular watering which makes them low-maintenance plants when compared to annuals
They have different seasons of availability and you can therefore harvest them for longer periods throughout the year
Perennial vegetables look attractive and can form a beautiful part of your edible landscape
