Read MorePerennials are herbaceous plants that live for two seasons or more. For the vegetable and herb grower, perennial plants can save time and effort with great rewards. Though most perennial vegetables don’t survive frost or cold winters, there are a few hardy types that can withstand our Ohio winters.
When planting perennial vegetables and herbs, their placement should be thought of as permanent. Determine the best long-term place for them in the garden before planting.
Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis)
Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum)
Fresh herbs are a great way to add flavor to a homemade dish. If you wish to substitute dry herbs for fresh the exchange is as follows: fresh herbs to dry are 1 tablespoon fresh for every 1 teaspoon dried. The following is an easy list of the most commonly grown perennial herbs, or at least the ones I grow and use.
Chives (Allium schoenoprasum)
Greek Oregano (Origanum vulgare ssp hirtum)
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
Keep in mind these are just a handful of perennial plants to grow in your vegetable and herb garden. Just remember to do your homework and read the tags to know what you’re growing and how best to care for and use it.
