Just wanted to drop in and say "Hi" from southern Alabama, USA! I live on 10 wetland acres and have been practicing permaculture on our place for about 15 years. This is our retirement place and we both have run our businesses on our homestead.

I would really like your suggestions on good plants to grow as far as perennial vegetables go. Also some book suggestions on the subject would be welcome. We have a fruit tree orchard that we are expanding, muscadine grapes that grow wild as well as wild blackberries and blueberries.

Love this site!!!

Hey there!  I grow manihot ( must be boiled),, bamboo., Yams. Cranberry Hibiscus
sweet potato, peanuts, southern peas, cilantro, fennel, carrots: can eat any of their greens as well as roots plus drop some seed on the top of the ground, ease them under with your toes, and they will spring up the next year
I grow sunflowers and amaranth, but have to save and bury the seed or it gets eaten; usually the birds miss some and it resupplys them
I have ginger, but am looking forward to adding taro and canna Lily to the perennial vegetables for their roots.
 
He loves you so much! And I'm baking the cake! I'm going to put this tiny ad in the cake:
