List of perennial vegetables and other food plants

Red mustard - we haven't sown any for at least 3 years, but we're still enjoying it in salads and stir-fries. It survived the storms in January with no problem.

Not a perennial plant, but one that came with me, probably in some home made compost and just pops up every year whether I want it to or not, Lambs lettuce or Mache, I have just spotted a lot of seedlings in my stone path, no idea how it to where it is from the small polytunnel, but there you are, will lift them and pop them into a better place

I love lambs lettuce.
In the same vein we get Feverfew sprouting all over. One of my elderly neighbours, many moons ago, used to make a feverfew sandwich to cure headaches. She said it worked brilliantly. I have to confess I find it too bitter but I suppose if the headache were bad enough....

I believe the term is "Ephemeral"

that is , self seeds throughout the growing season and beyond

Most our plants are perennial (too lazy/forgetful otherwise) but, ignoring the obvious herbs our list is loganberry x2, gooseberry (though we've only had one berry in three years), fennel and liqourice x2. One we used to have, though not really a perennial was nasturtium, we got 2 little plants (Sunday school and school both giving us a seed to watch grow) and could never get rid of it, until we slated over the front garden.

I have perennial tatties.

Every year I try to get rid of them, but they keep coming up in my raised bed... And since nothing much else was doing well this year, I let them get on with it.

The largest of them weighs 1171 grams! Argh! I'm on my own! What do I do with a week's worth of tattie in one?

(We have a saying in Germany - die dümmsten Bauern haben die dicksten Kartoffeln - the most stupid farmers have the biggest potatoes... I must be very stupid.)
