The Fruitful Corner Behind the Barn

Behind one of my sheds is a patch that I don’t have to plant, weed, or fertilize anymore. It can’t even be called a bed because it’s just a collection of plants that are growing as companions to one another. Every one of these perennial plants has a use. Some are for food, some for flavoring, and some for eating either fresh or cooked. In this small space, there is a plant that I can use for the next several months.

One of the nice things about being a perpetual homesteader is that there are foods that I am now growing that I didn’t have to plant this year.
