Perennial vegetables

What Hacker News says

   Books I found so amazing that I actually bought copies and given them as a gift (in some cases to multiple people):

   * Perennial Vegetables by Eric Toensmeier--eye opening list of vegetables that come back year after year

   * The Hard Thing About Hard Things, by Ben Horowitz. Somewhat presumptuously, I bought multiple copies and sent them to some of my friends/acquaintances that were CEOs.

   * Climate Wars, by Gwynne Dyer. This mix of fiction and non fiction really brought the climate change crisis to my attention.

   I'm also growing them, on year 2 now. Weeds tend to get ahead of them in early spring, but they're vigorous once they get off the ground. I'm also growing edible air potato one bed over.

   Anybody who's interested in this stuff should check out the books Paradise Lot and Perennial Vegetables, both by Eric Toensmeier.
