Many of the domestic crops that we grow are perennial. This means they are grown in a more permanent location in the garden or in containers. Many of these crops are herbs but a few are vegetables.

Some perennial crops have seasons and need to be cut back, or may go dormant, or semi-dormant in a season. Most of these crops will thrive in amended garden soil—generally these aren’t going to be plants that tolerate totally unimproved soils.
