>>2730598yeah, i have a lot of yard onions already, they're pretty fun, and what got me into thinking about perennials in the first place. so much research. there's a few invasives i've strongly considered, and i settled on the more tame stuff, but it's a hell of a lot better than grass i have to pay to maintain for years and years when i could use the same dirt for food, more food than i can handle. seems insane to me that grass ever became the norm. Now I have Sea Kale, Stinging Nettles, Turkish Rocket, Walkin Onions, some mint in pots because i aint about to replace my whole yard with em, and the star, Jerusalem Artichokes, which are an INSANE plant. I planted some in a part of my lawn which is basically submerged all spring, and these things are tanking it. Fully submerged and they're doing relatively fine. second highest nutrient per acre vs corn and NONE of the hassle. Gonna make flour from em I think. Anyway, I just don't get the aesthetic gardening lifestyle. Just so i can stare and plant genitalia all day? Lunacy.
I planted a garlic clove that was goin green and it's sprouted fine and dandy. Lookin like a champ. Something about planting actual food and stuff barely known is exciting. You have to be careful not to introduce true garbage, there's one plant called the fish mint which takes over entire countrysides like kudzu, but it's tempting to get some just to toss it into neighbor's yards so I never have to hear Stumpfuck across the street mow his lawn down to a quarter inch every two days.
