Christine Wilcox wrote:The book by Stephen Barstow, Around the World in 80 Plants is an amazing collection of information about edible perennial plants in temperate climates. There is a tremendous amount of information from a more Eurasian perspective. Unfortunately, the title does not capture the breadth and detailed knowledge contained. Barstow is a permaculturist who gardens thousands of plant varieties north of the artic circle. One of his whimisical claims was a salad containing 537 vegetable varieties collected in his gardern. The information complements Toensmeier's book on Perennial Vegetables but is almost completely independent. Barstow's web-site is www.edimentals.com
