Before growing your plants, you need to know which plants are perennial. Today we will introduce you to a variety of fruits and vegetables that are. They can be planted all year round, depending on where you live.
Red chicory
Red chicory which looks like a little red cabbage. It is a particular vegetable commonly consumed in Italy. However, the further we move away from Europe, it becomes little known. It is a supplement to your diet because it is a healthy ingredient for your body.
Rhubarb
You cannot harvest rhubarb in the first year, you must first wait for it to take root. With a little patience, you will see how this plant will grow throughout the seasons. A single rhubarb plant can last 20 years, before needing to be replaced. In the meantime, enjoy these healthy stems while being careful not to touch the leaves which are toxic.
Rhubarb pairs well with strawberries, which are also fruiting perennials. Be sure to plant enough rhubarb and strawberries for tasty jams, jellies and sauces for years to come.
Horseradish
If you’re looking to add a little warmth to your winter meals, a little grated horseradish can go a long way. The best way to pick this root is to harvest it fresh. This food is part of the same cruciferous family as broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts, but it is more hardy.
Chives
Chives are often sold in markets and stores. The question that arises is: how fresh and where does this food come from before it arrives on your table? You will know if you decide to plant them. This food is very rustic. These plants are so vigorous that you can keep them for several years!
