Perennial vegetables have a several advantages to the home gardener.

They don’t have to be replanted each season.
Perennials usually withstand harsh climates and weather better than annuals.
They tend to be higher in nutrition than most vegetables.
Perennials often offer more than a single product for the table. For example, sweet potato provides us with delicious roots, but also offers a nutritious green vegetable. Moringa offers both edible leaves and pods.

Overall, perennial vegetables require less work and offer more benefit. This is especially true in warm climates. Minimize input….maximize output!
