PERENNIALS the little work vegetable garden.

I LOVE VEGETABLE GARDENS! That is, those of the low maintenance type. For those who have NOT been following, I grew "A little of everything" in our garden last year. I came to the conclusion that a LARGE "traditional" vegetable garden is WAY too much work. But from my few successes, I learned that I was MORE than willing to get my LITTLE guys to produce, but once they did, it became too much work. This is where perennials came in.

My little guys are just little sprouts right now, but supposedly the ones I am growing grow and produce within a year. We will see, but I will NOT make any recommendations until they produce and we are able to taste :)

Tough Plants for weed and bug infested land

When we moved into our rental home, I specifically chose this one due to it's weed filled, unkept yard. I knew when I asked the landlord to tear it up he would have NO problem with it! I planted a "traditional" garden, and between every bug on the planet, and every weed trying to take over, a few select veggies survived and even THRIVED!

We got a great yield from these plants:

soy beans
green beans
hot peppers
lettuce
cilantro
strawberries (so far!)

If you move to land and you are unsure about what would grow, my advice would be to try a bit of everything! My tomatoes, squash, and pumpkins were near a total failure, but if I planted my entire plot with hot peppers, soy beans, lettuce, and strawberries, it would have been a feast of a harvest! I HIGHLY recommend these plants to anyone.

I bought my strawberries in a pack of 4. 2 died when they were transferred, but the 2 soon replanted themselves so a short 4 months later I have 6 plants! We are just starting to get little strawberries!
