In this episode of White Strawberries, I dig into the unsung heroes of the vegetable garden: perennials!
You’ll learn about my three favourite edible roots — yacón, Jerusalem artichokes, and oca (NZ yams) — and the leafy perennials I would grow even if I only had 1m2 of garden bed: Sorrel, perpetual spinach, Welsh onions, and chives.
These plants are weedy in the best way, nutrient-dense, and perfect for gardeners who want to reduce the time and effort they spend in their garden, so they can do other things (probably more gardening! ;) )...
🌱 In this episode:
- Why yacón, oca, and Jerusalem artichokes are great for your belly and your garden
- How to plant, harvest, and eat these unusual root crops
- The leafy greens that survive — and even thrive — through cold seasons with minimal effort.
- Why we don't see these perennials in super market chains.
