- Welcome back to our cottage garden! I thought I would show you around our current collection of perennial fruit and vegetable plants. We are based in the south of England in approximately zone 8, so do check if these plants will suit your garden zone too. We are always looking to grow more perennial plants so stay tuned as we expand this growing space and harvest more food from the garden.

![5 Delicious PERENNIAL Vegetables [Come Back Every Year!] 🌿 Grow More Food At Home!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/miz9778SHv8/mqdefault.jpg)
'you can eat from them, the caterpillars can eat from them, it's ok'
How refreshing to hear.
Thank you for making this. I planted 30 feet of asparagus and it all died, including all my egyptian walking onion. Because they were planted at the forest edge and got less than 5 hours of direct sunlight. So lesson learned, I will try planting them in full sun. And strawberries + asparagus is a great idea. The chipmunks and birds eat up the strawberries though, so we have to share the food source, the bounty with the furry animals our brethren. Yeah caterpillars and insects are prevalent but the frogs and harmless insect eating ribbon snakes abound in and around my garden. So when we help nature we help ourselves, for nature provides back in return for our time, effort and labor. Nature pays us back in edible fruit, tubers and greens.
First place I heard mention Strawberry Spinach. Thanks for the suggestion!
I get so happy whenever I see you post a video! It's so satisfying to see the progress of things you've invested in over time.
Walking onions! I subscribed to your channel just for that! I’d never heard of them- I’ve been gardening since about 2000, so quite a while. I also didn’t know we can grow kiwi fruit here in the uk ( my wife’s ears just pricked up) and I’m experimenting with no dig, so your channel is a lucky find. Thanks for sharing such interesting info. We enjoy your presentation style, which is straight to the point and without waffle or distracting music. We love discovering new plants and methods. Thanks for the great video!
Last year I started skirret and canna edulis achira and queensland varieties. Canna tubers are hardy to 18F. Started with a tray of Skirret seedlings and each plant gave me 5-15 offsets so literally exponentially increased the # plants/beds in 1 year and they are delicious, even tastier than parsnip and you can pull it out of the ground and eat it like a carrot. Its one of my favorite most delicious perennials now besides pokeweed leaves/shoots, stealth gardening substitute for asparagus. Skirret is not invasive, not potentially a spreading problem like daylillies and horseradish which spread can readily across the garden in full sun.
Keep it sprayed with BT as a natural and organic pesticide to keep caterpillars out of your garden.
This was fantastic! I didn't realise you could grow so many fruits and vegetables in the garden!
Chenopodium is good. It is virtually indistinguishable to spinach.
Thanks you for the video! Always great to see perennial edible plants that other people have. Less maintenance as annual, more wildlife habitat, stronger plants and what I also find interesting are the more unusual plants.
We have an (red) hardy kiwi in our garden (one male, one female). Flowered (both) this year for the first time but no fruits yet. Hope next year. Watch out though, can get massive and needs a lot of climbing space. Hope yours will grow and be healthy!
Great information...Enjoyed spending time in your garden.
I'm obsessed!!
There are hardy, small kiwi plants from New Zealand which do well - issai or red hairless or red Ken or a few other varieties which pomona fruits do and should do well in UK climate
Very helpful. Thank you!
May I ask if young blueberry plants are okay to grow in a small garden? We are in the UK, too. Thanks!
That is a very nice assortment of perennial vegetables. I have most but not all of them in my garden.
So many autumn leaves already!
Loved this! Makes me even more excited for my asparagus crown to mature. Can you a similar video for flowers.
Caucasian spinach is a great one to grow. Nice garden!
Your videos are lovely . I learned a lot , and look forward to growing these plants in my garden! Thank you for sharing your garden journey with us!
Thank you so much 🥰
🤑👅😛Sa va😍😘🥰
U CAN EAT SMALLER BELL PEPPERS LEAVES & ANY SIZE RADISHES LEAVES. KINDA LIKE SPINACH.
Another good one video 👏 I've had no idea, that there is a kind of onion like this! I've already spotted where I can buy it 😁
I'm still sad because of my asparaguses. I've had them for a few years, there were yummy and the crops were massive. But it was so tasty that some rodent ate them all 😢
I have something to add on the theme - I highly reccomend a kind of rucola which is on the same spot for many years. I have one for 3 years now and it's thriving. So many rucola leaves during all summer and bees love their flowers. Win-win.
I started blazing star last year, it was a tuber food source of the indians. Very beautiful. I havent tasted it yet. It doesnt seem to be a aggressive divider/reproducer like other flowers. I also have jerusalem artichoke but am careful to plant them in partial shade and/or poor soil. I had a friend plant jerusalem artichokes in full sun in 100% composted horse manure and in desparation he had to spray roundup over a huge area, it was quite a mess/challenge and learning experience for him. However that toxic stuff stays in the soil so I feel bad for him, hopefully is not growing anything in that soil again.
Wow I've never heard of strawberry sticks
Same, haven't heard anything about them either. Hope to try those myself one day!
🐝 Thanks for the great video 🌻 subscribbed
I would love to know the exact varieties you planted so I can buy the same ones!
Amazing, I feel like I’ve been transported to England in the 1600’s. So captivating.
Hey what as the second type of onion you did not mention the name of it. Many thanks, Emma
Thank you for the video. Can you tell me the name of the plant you just bought, with the berries and spinachlike leaves?
you need a male and female kiwi plant to get fruit,nd did you know strawberry leaves are also eadible and very nutritous. i dry them and addto my tealeaves , the help with eye degeneration problems as well
Jenny kiwi is self fertilising
My kiwi were sold in male/female plants. Never bloomed but still have 2 that are over 15 years old
My daylillies are happy in soil that stays wet/damp even waterlogged after rains, and apios americana seems happy to grow in that same location and climb up the daylilly stalks. I believe canna will enjoy that location also, and apparently the wet/moist conditions will help grow huge tubers. And apios americana will be very happy to climb these very beautiful 6-12 foot canna. The queensland variety grew over 10 last summer. Apios americana is a member of the pea family and a nitrogen fixer and I think they should be happy together.
You will eventually regret invasive jerusalem artichoke. They are a lot of work to clean. If you want a great bulb and also a substitute for green beans get the native day lilly hemerocallis
How do you care for your new strawberry plants? Do you let them stay where they are planted? Do you cut them from the “mother” plant or leave them connected?
I leave my strawberries where planted and don’t cut the babies “off” I wait till the connection has dries out and then take the babies to a different spot when needed. I think the babies are stronger when they where able to “nurse off” the mother plant till the end.
It s a choice, baby plants or bigger fruit. Don t expect the plant can do both
"These ones..." ??? Do you mean 'These" ??
