What’s Growing in One Person’s Yard–Edible and Perennial

by

These are what’s growing right now in Laurie’s yard. Most of them are perennial. Only the plants in the raised beds at the end are not. This means that most of this comes up on its own every year. From the start: Mugwort bushes (great for sleeping well and lowering inflammation), wild arugula, edible green Spencer gave her but she forgets the name, raspberry bushes, lamb’s quarters, Jerusalem artichoke, sorrel, garlic, blackberries, Egyptian walking onions, close-up of walking onion, bergamot (Bee’s Balm), rhubarb, and assorted non-perennial greens under makeshift “greenhouse” of old windows, other side with spinach, kale, Swiss chard, and lettuce.
