Asparagus, rhubarb, sorrel and lovage, vegetables you plant once and harvest from for years.
Why these are grouped
Chosen for the kitchen. Four vegetables you plant once and cut from for years: asparagus, rhubarb, sorrel and lovage. Nothing here feeds or guards another; they are together for one plain reason, that they are all perennial and want a bed of their own. Give them a permanent corner, out of the yearly dig-and- replant that would tear their roots up, and they will come back on their own every spring.
At least 3 m²32 ft². If your bed is smaller, the planner grays this plant team out, says why, and offers the nearest adaptation that fits. It never swaps in something else without telling you.
The planner won’t plan around this claim. What is known instead is below.
What is known: Some plant teams rest on a real way one plant acts on another. A kitchen bundle says only that you'll want these things in the same bowl. Both are good ways to plant. Only the first has plants working on each other.
