Perennial Food Plants

When we moved to our current home, we felt lucky that the previous owner had done some nice landscape design and had planted a huge variety of plants for birds and pollinators. Amongst the tasty food for the birds and bees (and everything else) was also a wide range of medicinal plants and some edibles for us humans. Every year we add more fruit, food, and medicine and now have an incredible abundance. Last night I was listing all of the fruit and nuts we planted in the six years we’ve been here and I was surprised at how long the list was!
