There are vegetables that come back year after year, roots that multiply underground, greens that wake up before your spring seed trays are even started, and one forgotten pepper that actually prefers cool weather and can live for decades if you overwinter it properly. In this video, I will show you 9 forgotten food plants that can turn a yearly garden into something much closer to a permanent pantry. Some feed you the first year. Others need a season or two to settle in. But once established, they can keep producing for years without starting again from seed every spring. You will see Caucasian spinach for cold shady corners, Chinese artichokes that store themselves underground, Daubenton’s perennial kale, sweet skirret roots, sweet cicely, American groundnut, Turkish rocket, Nine Star perennial broccoli, and finally rocoto — the unusual cold-loving pepper with purple flowers and black seeds. I will also explain which ones make sense in colder zones, which need winter protection, and which should be carried indoors before a hard freeze. Subscribe and tell me in the comments what state you garden in — and which vegetable you are most tired of planting over every single spring.
