A huge majority of us garden for the purpose of feeding our family, including perennials in your garden is one of the easiest ways to ensure you have food that will come back every single year you only have to make the investment and do the work one time, and these plants will feed your family every year, here on out!
Welcome back to 6 Hearts on 6 Acres! So glad that you are here with me today! Perennials are an important part of my garden here in what was zone 6b and is now zone 7a. My asparagus, oregano, thyme, and rhubarb are often some of my very first Spring garden harvests of the year and they make it so easy to make delicious, garden to table meals! We also love harvesting all of our perennial fruits in our homestead garden, for us that includes, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. We are adding a new perennial to our garden this year, thanks so the rezoning that happened, artichokes should be able to perennialize here so we added in 5 new plants! Overall, the majority of my garden is made up of annual vegetables but having these perennials is super important too!
