Like most things in life, when it comes to growing your own food, there are pros and cons to each decision that you make. Whether it’s the amount of maintenance involved, the yield, or something else, it’s always a good idea to know your goals up front and choose crops that align with them.
If your goals are sustainability and saving money, a great place to start is with perennial crops. When properly maintained, these plants can produce food for you and your family year after year!
