About this ebook
Perennial vegetables are a joy to grow and require a lot less time and effort than annuals. In this book Martin Crawford gives comprehensive advice on all types of perennial vegetables (edible plants that live longer than three years) including coppiced trees, aquatic plants and edible woodland species. There are many advantages to growing perennial vegetables, for example: they need less tillage than conventionally grown vegetables, so the soil structure is not distributed in their cultivation and carbon is retailed in the soil. They extend the harvesting season, especially in early spring; they are often of more value to beneficial insects than are annual vegetables; many perennial vegetables contain higher levels of mineral nutrients than annuals.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good: nicely organized and attractively laid-out. A large selection of plants represented, both common and uncommon varieties. Good information on culinary uses of the plants.
Bad: Seemed oriented more towards the UK than US (obviously fine if you live in the UK). Info on cultivation was a little more inconsistent and sometimes incomplete.
Overall this works great as a source of inspiration for new plants to grow, but I'd probably turn to another reference to confirm the growing conditions and day-to-day needs of the plants.
