RE: Perennial Foods: Growing Food Security
I'm all about perennials from the laziness low maintenance aspect 😉 I hadn't even thought as far as things like rhubarb or asparagus. They'd have to share my berry patch since the Husband insists on tilling the main garden annually!
maybe you can expand your berry patch or start a new little patch? I would love to be a lazy-ish gardener, I hope one day all this work makes that possible.
I'm thinking about doing that. I intend to plant herbs and flowers among or around the berries, but I want to establish a dedicated area for bees eventually too. I think the principle of front loading all the work now to make for an easier life later should hold good and pay off :)
garden planning and dreaming! Such good stuff. What kinds of berries are you growing? I have an addiction to berries. I've never tasted one I didn't like.
Blackberries and raspberries to start. We love them in smoothies and for jam, and I want to try making blackberry wine eventually since I drink so much of it 🍷 Once we get around to building a raised and protected bed we'd like to grow strawberries too, and I wouldn't mind adding other things like elderberries over the years. Baby steps ;) Our neighbor is putting in a whole blueberry farm, so that's covered!
