But I had a $25 Amazon gift certificate, so I went ahead and bought it, and I'm very glad I did.The first section of the book is useful information on growing perennial vegetables (and other perennials, for that matter), and on landscaping using these plants, many of which have great ornamental value.Part Two is a listing of each of the more than 100 (I didn't count) perennial vegtables, with information on each species. About half the listed plants have quite extensive growing information, and about half have shorter descriptions. A map is included for each species, showing where it will grow as a perennial and where it can be grown as an annual. Toensmeier has not included plant 'thugs' such as kudzu or Japanese knotweed, and warns the reader if any of the other plants may naturalize.The author's inclusions of certain species (as vegetables) may be slightly questionable: we are more apt to think of them as fruit or as herbs, for example, rhubarb and lovage. (However, my daughter cooks a lot of Persian food, and uses rhubarb as a vegetable in a meat and vegetable stew.) Also, this book will be of even more use to people who live in a warmer climate than I do (northern Pennsylvania in the mountains, with Zone 4 weather). I actually already grow four of the vegetables in the book: rhubarb, lovage, Good King Henry, and sorrel. I discovered some others that I'll definitely try - two of which I had never even heard of before. Those who live considerably further south than I will find a wealth of species to try.The book is well written, and carefully edited. It includes a list of recommended reading, a list of recommended web sites, a list of sources for seeds and plants, a list of sources for garden supplies and equipment, a bibliography, an index by both scientific and common names, and a really valuable list of perennial vegetables that will grow in each of the various climate types in the USA (including Hawaii).If you're at all interested in growing perennial vegetables - or in permaculture in general - I think you'll want to read this book and probably to own it. I think it's a very useful book and a pleasure to read. I recommend it most highly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Could make use of a chart *by H***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2022* This was an overall fantastic book with many interesting plants represented. However I do wish that he would make a chart including each plant and what growing zone they can survive and thrive in. Though I have enthusiasm for gardening this would have made it a bit more quick of a read and would help in garden planning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource Book and Step-by-Step Guide to Perennial Gardening *by J***0 on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2015* This book is both a great guide to getting started with perennial gardening for beginners, and a great resource book on where, when and how to plant and care for all manner of perennial fruits and vegetables for gardeners of any skill level. Toensmeier's style is easy to read, and the book is full of interesting anecdotes about the author's experience with many of the plants discussed, which helps to keep the book engaging and interesting. The book explains how to set up an edible perennial garden, and starts with basic explanations on various families of vegetables, such as melons, tubers, aquatics, etc, then goes into a detailed explanation of planting and caring for individual species from each group. Each plant description includes beautiful glossy pictures of the plant in question, and a diagram of its geographic range in North America. Plants appropriate to all regions are covered, meaning this book is useful whether you're looking to start a garden in South Florida, or looking for hardy perennials that will survive a Canadian winter. This book has given me a lot of great ideas, some of which I've already successfully put into practice here in upstate New York this growing season, and I've thoroughly enjoyed reading it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/4126421-perennial-vegetables-from-artichoke-to-zuiki-taro-a-gardeners-guide](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/4126421-perennial-vegetables-from-artichoke-to-zuiki-taro-a-gardeners-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
