Do you want a fruitful vegetable garden with less work and less time? Try this revolutionary method for a continuous garden that practically grows itself.

With this method, there's no buying transplants or starting seeds indoors (plants sow themselves!), no yearly planting (perennial crops return year after year!), no seed buying (you collect your own seeds!), and no "off" season (with protection, some crops yield year-round!). It's a unique approach to creating a more sustainable, self-perpetuating vegetable garden that returns on its own year after year. Yes, you can grow more of your family's food with significantly less work than a traditional vegetable garden.

After detailing the many perks of this method, author and professional gardener Charlie Nardozzi digs into this new approach by sharing:

  • The know-how you need to establish your continuous garden in the best soil and location
  • Insight on vegetables that sow their own seeds and return to the garden all on their own
  • Profiles of permanent perennial vegetables that produce harvests for years to come
  • Info on establishing a perpetual fruit patch in your landscape
  • Handy lists of seeds to save to continue growing your favourites year after year
  • Tips for protecting edible plants from frosts and freezes for a longer harvest
  • Planting schemes to plan for a perpetual harvest in yards big and small
  • And much more!

By planting the right combination of self-perpetuating plants and caring for them "just enough", an enduring and abundant harvest awaits.
