We're only planting these once

HINGHAM, Mass. - April 11, 2023 - PRLog -- Welcome to an exciting new edition of Food Gardening Magazine, the edible perennial issue! This is the time of year when you walk into your favorite gardening store and see row after row of gorgeous flowers. Some of them are annual, meaning once the season is over, that's it. Others are perennial, meaning they will come back year after year.

What gets overlooked a lot, though, is the fact that there are also a lot of perennial fruits, vegetables, and herbs! Plant them once, and they continue to provide you with delicious produce year after year. And many of them don't require very much from us. Some of them would rather be left alone entirely!

Here are some exciting articles and videos to look forward to in the April Issue of Food Gardening Magazine, which we've dubbed "The Edible Perennial Issue":
