I would like to try some perennial vegetables in the veg. garden. I'm looking at asparagus but what are some other plants that I could try?

Here is an interesting discussion on perennial vegetables. And rhubarb is a vegetable, even though we treat it as sort of a fruit.
How sad it makes me that I can NOT grow rhubarb here in the south... it just doesn't do well... and those here who have tried usually fail the first few attempts.... I miss my grandmother's strawberry rhubarb pies she made in CT. :hit

Ah, too warm, huh? That's too bad. This is the first spring I'll be able to harvest mine, this will be their third season. Now I need to plant some strawberries to go with them!

But then again, you can grow artichokes, probably, and cardoon, and figs, all stuff we can't grow (easily) up here. It's a trade off, I guess :watering
