For those of us who have vegetable gardens, I think we all dream of low maintenance, high-yielding beautiful gardens that require very little water and barely any work. Sound about right? Especially in permaculture, we strive to design systems that are as self-maintaining and self-perpetuating as possible. In my video today, I share how I get perpetual greens, year after year from a patch that I never plant, barely water and only weed occasionally. Too good to be true?

We get what we call "volunteers" all the time in our garden. Especially kale, chard, lettuce, dill, cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes. We have fun trying to guess what it's going to be when we see the seedlings coming and even make joking wagers. This is the first year we've mostly left them alone and it's been interesting to see how much better they're doing then the ones we planted fresh this year. We use to try and move them out of the way of the tiller by putting them in pots or other spaces. Definitely better to keep them where they are and let them perpetuate!!! Left the tiller in the shed this year and may even sell it next year. Thank you for all the advice this year!
