In \u003cem\u003ePerennial Vegetables\u003c\/em\u003e the adventurous gardener will find information, tips, and sound advice on less common edibles that will make any garden a perpetual, low-maintenance source of food.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eImagine growing vegetables that require just about the same amount of care as the flowers in your perennial beds and borders--no annual tilling and potting and planting. They thrive and produce abundant and nutritious crops throughout the season. It sounds too good to be true, but in \u003cem\u003ePerennial Vegetables\u003c\/em\u003e author and plant specialist Eric Toensmeier (\u003cem\u003eEdible Forest Gardens\u003c\/em\u003e) introduces gardeners to a world of little-known and wholly underappreciated plants. Ranging beyond the usual suspects (asparagus, rhubarb, and artichoke) to include such \"minor\" crops as ground cherry and ramps (both of which have found their way onto exclusive restaurant menus) and the much sought after, anti-oxidant-rich wolfberry (also known as goji berries), Toensmeier explains how to raise, tend, harvest, and cook with plants that yield great crops and satisfaction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePerennial vegetables are perfect as part of an edible landscape plan or permaculture garden. Profiling more than 100 species, illustrated with dozens of color photographs and illustrations, and filled with valuable growing tips, recipes, and resources, \u003cem\u003ePerennial Vegetables\u003c\/em\u003e is a groundbreaking and ground-healing book that will open the eyes of gardeners everywhere to the exciting world of edible perennials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chelsea Green Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781931498401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2007 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2007 pg. 139\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Eric Toensmeier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36670857379996,"sku":"9781931498401","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ade8b5f7-0aac-40d2-8a26-6f145d125c77.jpg?v=1603923801","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/perennial-vegetables-from-artichokes-to-zuiki-taro-a-gardeners-guide-to-over-100-delicious-and-easy-to-grow-edibles-9781931498401","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
