I live in the northeast and have been planting vegetables that are perennial- they will come back every year even if you don't do anything to them. So far I have: Rhubarb Asparagus Multiplier onions (like regular store onions but they multiply) "Walking" onions (scallions that reproduce and spread) Jerusalem artichoke (looks like a sunflower but makes a root like a potato) Dandelion greens Horseradish I've heard kale will self seed so am going to try that too. Any other ideas? I have a normal garden and fruit/nut bushes and trees but I love the idea of a food supply that just looks like "weeds" to the untrained eye. |

How do you put up your asparagus. If you freeze it, do you blanch it first? Thanks.

How do you know if an onion is a Multiplier onion? I've not seen any around here. Where did you get them?
