70 perpetual vegetables to discover
How to create a thrifty vegetable garden, how to grow vegetables (almost) effortlessly, how to care for plants, how to propagate them, how to use them and how to preserve them!
Growing a perennial vegetable garden means gardening differently.
It’s a way of gardening that saves money (gestures, time, money…) and curiosity, by opening the doors of your garden to little-known species whose very name is an invitation to travel: Peruvian oca, Chinese spring onion, Daubenton’s perpetual cabbage, chayote, physalis, rocambole onion…!
It also means opening yourself up to new flavours, making discoveries with surprising tubers…
It means having time to do other things, without sacrificing the quality and freshness of the vegetables harvested.
It’s a different way of looking at an edible plant, one that you look after for years rather than just one season.
Aymeric Lazarin, an ecologist, ecology teacher and nursery/landscape gardener who experiments with a wide range of growing techniques, reveals in this new, expanded edition all the requirements for growing 70 species of hardy, evergreen edible plants, which can be propagated ad infinitum and harvested year after year.
Bear’s garlic, asparagus, sorrel, crambe, perpetual leek, tuberous nasturtium, earth chestnut, crosne, horseradish… you’ll find leafy and root vegetables in this book, as well as a few herbs, wild vegetables to acclimatise to the vegetable garden, ornamentals and a few small fruits.
The author has also emphasised the importance of the greenhouse to protect even the coldest perennials during the coldest months.
A book for creating a thrifty vegetable garden, for cultivating (almost) effortlessly, for caring for plants, multiplying them, using them and preserving them!
