some perennials we are trialling here

Project: East Ismailof Island Permaculture homesite

Posted by Corey Schmidt over 9 years ago

pictures of little perennial plants we are establishing here and brief description of our efforts.

One of our homesite goals is to have an abundance of perennial food plants. This update is about my efforts in this direction.

I have planted several perennial food sources, and the Jerusalem Artichokes seem the happiest so far.

I also planted stachys affinis and they have come up and look promising

camassia quamash is alive and growing

i put seeds of sagittaria latifolia in soil under water in several large tin cans, some outside, some in a cold frame, and some indoors. None have come up yet.

I planted a number of caragana arborescens and hippophae rhamnoides outdoors

I tried growing goji from seed and have 3 survivors, all very tiny.

there are egyptian walking onions which have overwintered

i have started seeds of chicory, asparagus, and salsify

i planted bulbs of apios americana, but the magpies ate them all. Next time i will start them in pots...

PLEASE comment with your suggestions for rampant tasty food plants for this climate. I'm looking for things that are perennial, really yummy, big producers, and easy to grow. We are in koppen cfc, subarctic climate, but usda zone 6, which is basically a very mild subarctic climate moderated by the ocean. 59 degrees north latitude, summer highs 60f, winter lows 20f, max hi 80f, max lo-10f, 25inches precipitation/year, dry summers

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
