Medieval Perennial Garden

🏰 Plant Once, Harvest for Decades

Step back in time and grow the same hardy perennial vegetables that sustained medieval monasteries for centuries. These time-tested plants require minimal maintenance once established and will provide fresh food for 15-20+ years.

Why Perennial Vegetables?

• Plant once, harvest forever - No annual replanting needed
• Low maintenance - Established plants are drought-tolerant and hardy
• Historical connection - Grow the same varieties medieval gardeners relied on
• Perfect for permaculture - Build a self-sustaining food forest
• Early spring harvests - First crops when annuals are just sprouting
