Perennial vegetable gardening is an interesting idea. I’ve been growing vegetables in my yard for 5+ years; however, I always seem to focus on the traditional annuals like tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, etc. I do have some perennial herbs such as chives and various mints that I enjoy. I also put in some blueberry bushes a couple years ago, and I’m looking forward to those finally maturing and beginning to produce, which I understand takes about 5 years. That’s the thing with perennial vegetable/fruit plants—my perception is that they take so much time to get established! A follow up posting that goes into more detail about various types of perennial veggies and fruits would be great, particularly focusing on how long they take to produce. Thanks!
