Plant these once and eat forever! Discovering perennials in a zone 7a garden! 

Our Asparagus patch has been growing since 1930 - my hubby’s Grandma planted it…

You garden like me…barehanded! I ❤️ feeling the soil in my hands!

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 Chives are my favorite!!! I batter and deep fry the purple blossoms, like a mini bloomin’ onion. 👾👾👾👾👾👾

I cut my asparagus just below the ground . That is what I was told to do years ago, my bed is over 20. Years old.

I saw at the end you have plenty of dandelions, one of Gods most prolific sources of food and medicine!

Not a weed! a volunteer! congrats!

I'm in North NJ and our perenials are Asparagus, horseradish, thyme, chives, green onions, scallions, Leek, Rhubarb, oregano, comfrey, Jerusalem Artichokes which we harvest all winter, strawberries, and lavender. Purple potatoes come up every year for us from what we missed.

My garden is 100% perrenial. There a ton of plants no one heard of that you can eat. Just added perrenial 'cucumbers' and air potatoes this year

I call strawberry runners “jumpers” next thing you know they’re growing in another bed.

Nothing like having hands and feet in the dirt. True grounding.

I made the mistake of planting blackberry in my garden and it took over a 100 ft radius that I can’t eradicate! Please move the blackberry to a place that you don’t care if it travels! I have blackberry coming up in my raised beds which is 100 ft from where I planted it along a fence! Last year I couldn’t even walk in 1/4 of my garden. We weed wacked it down but now I can’t plant in that are because every couple of days I’m having to dig up more roots when a new blackberry shoot pokes out of the soil! It’s been a huge nightmare!

That's really cool. Those plants can reproduce year after year. This was a quick video and had so much useful information.

Hello from Eastern Oklahoma, also 7A. ❤ May the Lord bless your harvest and keep your family. Stay safe in these storms this week.😊

I love the wild turnip greens that grow in our northern gardens. I used to blanch and freeze a bunch and it was really all we needed for greens if we didnt want to slave over veggies.

Most asparagus at our house never makes it inside. It's so deliciously tender and sweet.

I had to move my rhubarb to full sun. I planted the original 22 years ago under an oak tree. The tree ended up providing almost total shade. It is going great after the move last year. A great recipe is Victorian Barbecue Sauce aka rhubarb barbecue sauce.

❤❤❤ try horseradish. Same type of root system as the sunchokes. They will take over the bed you put them in. They love 100% compost

The globe artichokes have a small heart. The older varieties have larger hearts. Don’t worry if it looks like they died after the 1st season, mine came back and got to 3 feet the next year & then this year when they grew back they are over 5ft tall. I know you can divide them ~ just not sure at what age. I now have what looks like 3 plants at each crown. Oh ~ I also let one artichoke on each plant flower & go to seed ~ the seeds look like dandelion seeds and fly away. Good luck!! Have fun!

I had no idea there were fruits and vegetables that were considered perennials. I learned a lot watching your video. Subscribed. Thank you!

I started my chives from seed, and they flowered the second year, reseeded, and have been divided twice as we go into their third summer.

Thank you, you space sounds like a jungle of life.

Persaline is a good perennial. You can put it in your salads.

I cut my chives mid season into very short pieces then put into IceCube trays then fill with a non flavoured oil, or a very nice olive oil. Use during winter. I use within 6months. I’m in a zone 5. Most southern of STH. Australia.

I planted my artichoke about 10-12years ago. This year i split a side shoot and split those to about 6 more plants. Three of those seem good. The okder plant has the most globes ive ever seen and it seems early. Tonight i take the center one!

Strawberries are a companion plant to asparagus!

Beautiful beautiful garden, I also do 80% perennial fruiting garden, I chose this because of my health and limitations also they are hearty and really don't require must work at all or watering❤

Just found you. Glad i did. My grandma made rubarb pie. It was awsome. Ive tried growing it and no success but ive grown as a gardner and see why it didnt. Im definitely tryin again.

That was a nice tour. Thanks! I was surprised to see SW Missouri rezoned to 7a.

I am in zone 5, lettuce,spinach,tomato,celery If you let grow until flowering and make seed it will grow again and again Until the snow melt

I love my artichoke plants. Flowers are beautiful and it’s super exciting when they first start growing the buds.

You have to keep artichoke root from freezing... You CAN dig the root and wrap to store in garage.. I lost mine in the 2 weeks of 20.+ degree winter. Planted new ones and well keep in garage this winter.

I twist the flower stalk of rhubarb off in spring, so it won't spread seeds and will keep producing. I harvest all summer.

Love to c women gardeners feeding their families 4ever❤

Just subscribed to your channel. Love your enthusiasm for asparagus... might have to give them a try 😊

Rhubarb, banana pie, with custard Yummo

Thank you young woman. Lots of information! And I don’t mean to pry…but whatever is troubling you,you will overcome. Not before a sadness though. I’m sorry. But sometimes, the Lord of Worlds forces change.

Strawberry rhubarb pie is the best. I started growing rhubarb this yr , the instructions say I can't harvest for 2 yrs. I can't wait to make strawberry rhubarb pie in a few yrs

I found that to be true with chives as well. Mine were grown from living herbs out of the grocery store.

Hey, I'm in a 7a area too! It's like we are family! But…I’ll be moving. Dang. I love asparagus! I'll plant others when I'm done moving.

Sea Purslane, Rock Samphire and Salad Burnett are three perrenials I would recommend for tropics, sub tropics and temperate. They are very tasty plants that can be added to a salad mix to give a real lemony and salty taste. Easy to grow and attractive in a rockery as unusual feature plants also. Rabbits and deer love them and they will not harm your pets if ingested. Just also wanted to add the usual leaf warning about not consuming rhubarb leaves. They are poisonous. Only stew or steam the stalks up. If old stalks and woody, peel outside first with a sharp knife, then segment and cook until soft. Sweeten liberally. For a pie, thicken with cornstarch mixed in a little water.

My uncle planted rhubarb, years ago, and, now that he is gone, his garden has grown over, and that rhubarb is behind all the weeds and trees, it doesn’t see much sun, but it is as big as ever back there. My other uncle dug some of it to take to my cousin, but there are still quite a few plants back there.

I have had chives. When i get too much, i cut it up into small pieces and throw it in the freezer and use it for whatever whenever i want during the winter.

The largest perennial bulb onion I've found is the Green Mountain Potato onion. The bulbs are the size of a quarter to a silver dollar. And they're considered perennial because you take the smaller ones and replant them in the spring like you do with garlic cloves. I also think if you leave them in the ground they'll contunue to grow. I've only had one season of them and pulled up all of them to have a crop and more to replant this year. I'll leave a few in the ground this fall to see what happens.

After perennial fruits and veggies, the next step is to learn about and plant perennial edible flowers. Roses, Hosta, and Day lilies are a few. And I recently learned that maple leaves are edible. There was even an article of a little Asian lady that batter fries them and sells them at a little food stand. Boise, 7a, and subbed.

I had Rhubarb in the So Calif desert. 100+ during the summer days & 78degree nights. My plants were HUGE. I planted them from small plants. I harvested the 1st summer. Id say they love the heat from my experience. Where I live, Oregano & Thyme die out each winter & dont come back.

I have chive, thyme, sage and cilantro. They keep coming back every year. You can’t kill them. I added oregano and rosemary this year.

Wow you are amazing your doing a great job what a great harvest ❤ I am new to your channel 👍🏽

Great video, i live in Okla, and i was a 6b now im 7a also. Loved your video. Thank you for sharing this with us. So Awesome.❤

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

I love asparagus

I was harvesting spears a few months after I planted my asparagus. There are only a few , but they were delicious.

Yea I'm excited just found a garden channel in my specific zone 😁 southern. Mid TN 😀

So much great information! Thank you!

Hello nice information, I’m excited about getting started with a perennial garden. I’m recently planted five fruit trees. Love the herbs that you have. Just subscribed to your channel. Enjoyed the Information you shared. Thank You 😊

Thank you for your information very good

❤❤❤❤ THANKS FOR THE INFO MANY BLESSINGS...

Very interesting. Thank you ❤

Ty for all the information! I just happened upon your video and love it! I have subscribed!!

Thanks for the knowledge

Yes I liked them

We love to eat asparagus right from the garden my brother comes over and says he just getting a bit. My sons when home are out eating it.

Great information. Thank you,

Love the chives

❤❤❤

I learned that artichokes grow the artichoke on the second year. A good way to overweather was to trim the leaves back to about 6" height, put straw or pine shavings heaping around the plant, and cover with thick row cover over winter. I had put hoops under the thick row cover, and doubled the row cover. It survived! Same zone as you

Love this video

Thank you. Enjoyed learning about perennials. Blessings. 🙏💕

Good work! Great video too.

Great lessons o perennial veggies. Thank you, I look forward to try growing some new veggies this year! Looking forward to trying the herb butters!! 😊❤

Chard is a good plant to keep

I love artichokes! Planning on planting some eventually. Asparagus too!

N. CAROLINA zone 7b/8a.. Great video! Yes look into herbs, i love mine..

Great info on straw-berry

Hello from my homestead in northwest Florida zone 8b. Happy gardening!

I am super excited for you!! I also started green globe artichoke!! Can’t wait to continue following your videos!! Love it!❤

The asparagus are huge!!!

I'm in 7a and I've had artichoke not last through the winter and some that did but then died the 2nd winter. If a person doesn't want to dig them up and store them inside, I'd suggest a DEEP mulch and maybe even a cover over all of it..

I just joined and I loved your video I’m looking forward to seeing many more

Thanks for sharing your tips. I'm a new subscriber 🌞

Garlic chive is a awesome perennial also

You have really pretty skin

liked the video and subscribed. i’m in sacramento ca. 9b. good video and good information ❤. God Bless you

New subscriber excited to support you ❤

Hi I’m new to your channel, thank you for sharing this valuable information.

Hope you have better luck with artichoke that I did last year. My plants got huge but never did flower and then winter came and even though I had them inside the carport protected from the wind and frosts, they froze anyway. My zone was 7a as well

I’m going to plant sun choke aka Jerusalem artichoke. They are going into a dedicated bed.

Just found you , New Subscriber. What a wonderful garden and very informative. Thank you. 👍😀

Artichokes came back for me this year because we had a light winter, I am in zone 4b... We will see if they actually give us artichokes this year.. Good luck with yours!

Oregano is a natural soporific.

Ordering my 1 year asparagus plants now.

My asparagus are beautiful now

Rhubarb likes to be planted on mounds lot of watering

I started garlic chives from seed..it starts really well from seed..much earies than some other herbs.

New subscriber! I need to worry on perennial veg!

@Simpleideaz Where do you learn what can be eaten? I’m starting mea wild eatable herb garden beside my house. Where can I find what’s eatable

Only 2,000 subs but 61,000 views on this one video. Come on people!

Thank you for the great advice, but for the next video can you cut the parts out that show that beautiful old wood building? 😂 More than once I caught myself mentally measuring the wood to determine exactly how much of it I would need to use for Christmas gifts!!😂😂 I have been looking for some good “reclaimed” wood to do different wood projects as Christmas gifts. I have 47 family members to ‘buy’ for, so they usually get a {very} small item, and some of my famous baked goods. This year, I wanted to do large 20”x28” serving trays, 14” cake/pie/dessert stands, and recipe boxes ~ each one to be engraved with the family’s name and the year the items were made {{and going one step further for my daughters by making each a wooden “heirloom tips, tricks, and recipes book” with wonderful tips and tricks that are (or were) handed down from mother to daughter, as well as family recipes dating back to 1879, so shhh 🤫…big BIG secret!! I have been working on this project for the last 9 years!}}. I will also be making wooden cookbook stands, but not for all 47 family members. 🤭🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I did rewind your video just to make sure I got all of those great tips! I’m planting out my garden tomorrow while my husband is off work, and there were a few tips I never knew, like the oregano! So I’ll definitely be sure to ’pot’ that stinker, because I have very little space to grow, I would be so very upset if it took over and squeezed out one of my other crops. So, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us, I really enjoyed listening to you talk… there are some vlog-ers out there that have great knowledge and tips, but Bless their hearts, I just have to turn the sound off and the cc on…🫣👀😔😲🤭 P.s. let me know if you want to ship me some of that gorgeous old wood {and the history behind it}!!! 😍 😁 This was the first time one of your videos popped up in my feed, and I’m so glad it did!! I hit subscribe before I even reached the halfway point!!! 👍🏼👍🏼 Happy gardening! May the fruits of your labor be abundant AND delicious!! 🫶🏻 🫶🏻

DOES ASPARAGUS LIKE WET FEET? well-drained soil? sand?

Do you just create two rows one with asparagus bare root and one with strawberry bare root ?

Loved the video! Your sweet attitude and beautiful smile makes it fun to watch! Great job! What state do u live in? Thanks!!!
