Arugula (spicy) Oregano Day lilies Thyme Asparagus Mint, any mint Perennial shallot Egyptian onion Chives Sorrel (lemony zest) Garlic chives just cut and it regrows
Fantastic! Just amazing. Not that you learn more about permaculture, but you make smile the whole video through. When a man loves plants so much that he wants to rolls in it, this loves becomes contagious.
I love the purple flowers on the chives, it's my favorite, I add them to a clear broth chicken soup, potato salad and bake into the top of a loaf of cheddar and chives bread. They're so beautiful! I like to see people's reactions to purple flowers in their food :)
Arugula, daylily, thyme - good for dogs. Oregano - good for dogs in small amounts when raw. Asparagus - ok for them but tough for them to physically chew and can be rough on their digestion. Mint - everything except pennyroyal mint is good for dogs Perennial shallot, chives, sorrel, garlic chives - bad for dogs (anything in the onion/allium family) This is a great video! I did an intranet search to see if they're good for dogs. Obviously, dogs should only be allowed to ingest plant matter in modern.
I am in the same zone and I love to grow mustard. It reseeds itself every year. Attracts pollinators and repels certain pests. Tastes like "wasabi" paste(because most commercial wasabi is made of mustard and-or horseradish).
I just realized I have 8 out of these in my small food forest. I would also add Skirret and Crosnes, wild/feral strawberries and sage and stinging nettles. Cheers and keep up the good work, your food forest has been an inspiration for my much smaller version here in Germany.
@@Skashoon skirret is native to Europe and is in cultivation at least since Roman times. Crosnes originates in China I think. You can get both plants at specialist nurseries, I guess.

I would add horseradish and nettle to my list for sure. Horseradish we make into an awesome condiment, with vinegar, salt and peper or with beets. Nettle we add to quiche or soup, just like spinach. Delicious!
I'm surprised for a Slav (Polish? Ukrainian?) you didn't mention either horseradish or nettle! Horseradish roots and leaves are great for pickling cucumbers, while nettle is essential for great green borscht!
I wish I could give you more than one thumbs up! We just retired, bought our first house!, with a tiny yard (.25 acre) and I'm so looking forward to spring planting. Supposedly, we're zone 8b; however, twice now we've gone below zero so I'm worried about what we put out in the fall. My husband even mulched.
Great list. I'm in a similar zone to you (I'm in BC), and some of my favorites that you didn't list are Good King Henry, which is a great green, slightly sour but mostly mild. And Sea Kale, which is our number one favorite. My favorite green is dandelion though; when I serve it to company I call it chicory and everyone thinks its something fancy, lol. I love that sorrel too, it's so nice that it doesn't get all weedy, though I love the look of Bloody Dock.
Yes I used to have great sea kale it would be my 2nd fave. Have good king Henry but haven’t used it. Dandelion is all about timing. Someone told me to pick it early morning it’s less bitter
🤣 Ahahaha the peeking of of the plants that was great! I'm loving these videos. Very informative and is teaching me to go with nature instead of fighting it while gardening. Thank you!
This is one of my favorite channels! You are such a great teacher and I just love your personality! What is the source of your exuberant joy? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love for nature.
I bet you would just LOVE vineyard chives for its garlicky taste, enormous heigth (it grows wa faster and higher than the grass in the early spring, so you can even easily single it out in a lush meadow) and its hilariously shaped flowers and the deliciously intense tiny seed bulbs it produces.
I just learned that ggogle does not know "vineyard chives". I was describing Allium vineale, commonly called onion grass or stag's garlic. And that it is considered an invasive weed in the US and Oceania. Well... It is delicious, robust, abundant, healthy - actually all you want in a low maintenance food crop.
I enjoyed your garden very much. I had all these perennials and plan to have them again in my new Garden. Thanks for a great reminder of what is important and that is to have fun in the garden and fun with food.
Great video. It’s important to repeat that he loves for these plants to take over. Garlic chives are a great example of a plant that will seed itself and take off like crazy(at least, in my experience). If you would like to keep garlic chives contained or control where the seeds land, be sure to clip the seed heads before they self seed.
What's great about this episode is most of the items you featured in your top 10 are either hard to get in the grocery store or they are expensive. I am a big fan of oregano and basil.
😎 Basil is very easy to grow from cuttings, like rooting the fresh basil you bought at the grocery store. Good quality very moist, well draining soil, semi shade until the cuttings develop roots and start growing. Most leafy vegetables do alright in partial shade.
Hello, My name is irene, I just subscribed !!! You are funny ! I saw your blooper !!! Loved it . I will be watching your other videos . I'm a brand new person to you tube, just started my channel.. I will be learning from you about permaculture !!!! Thank you !
Love this delightful way to help us with our permaculture orchard. We made the mistake early on rototilling wormwood- ugh! It is a bear to get out. (Also horseradish in the garden taking over)
I bought the Profusion sorrel from Richters over 20 years ago. This plant is still growing profusely in my garden and has never shown signs of dying. I have even given plant sections away to people. Don't even bother with other sorrel, this one is perrenial with a capital P (and I am in zone 6B).
The shallot greens you can cut tgem finely and beat some eggs then mix them together with salt and black pepper. Then make small pancakes out of them. Great for breakfast
James shallot greens to make pancakes I have to try.. I'm working on developing a tiny home community with gardens and a business building for skills sharing or teach a class or sell items and barter if you wish.
love your channel, great humor and wonderful information & advice. Will have to try sorrel and garlic chives for sure! thanks for sharing your favorites...
Great videos Stefan! I love what you are doing. Oh and thank you for the new perspective on mint patches. Then I better get use to counting myself lucky ;-)
I have had garlic chaiv for many years. I eat them every day From the early spring to the end of season. Every year I send some to my friends or nearby neighbors, they are happy and I am happy, too. YES,, it's a Must to have it.
I have a rescue boxer who is weirdly obsessed with mint in the pots (doggy safe varieties) I am thinking I should plant her a patch her rolling in it should keep it in check plus the pup smells minty fresh!
I have tons of daylilies, Oh boy, I can't wait for the flowers, to eat them... I'm in zone 5. You have the same taste as I do , I have all those plants except garlic chive, I'll go buy some tomorrow

Great video ! I also agree...Top 10 shrubs and/or tree cultivars might be a useful followup video...still being in the perennial family...never knew that about daylilly's...though not my favorite plan grouping, though I know there are many daylilly addicts & clubs...
You’re right they would be great follow up videos. Problem is we don’t even have 10 fruit tree species we could grow ( Apple, pear, Asian pear, cherry, plum, mulberry, seaberry, hazelnuts ) and less than 10 fruiting shrubs (black currant, red currant, gooseberry, haskap, Nanking cherry )
downbntout he literally got me to try some last week and I must say they’re quite good (they taste a bit like iceberg lettuce with a unique aftertaste)
I find them decorative for salads and the batter dipped fried is interesting but they are so delicate that the fried breading I'm just eating more fried food.
Living down in zone 9 I can grow a lot of perennials. I have elephant garlic I planted fifteen years ago and it's still going strong. With my greenhouse I find peppers tend to grow for a year or more before needing to be cut back. Berries are also a good crop. I grow blackberries, raspberries, blueberries. My favorite for now and I couldn't say if they're perennials or not but I grow new zealand spinach in the greenhouse and I haven't had to do anything but harvest them for years now. All the spinach we can eat summer or winter. Collard greens can also grow for several years with proper trimming. Bunching onions will multiply into clumps of a hundred or more if you can find the right variety.
Lucky you. Yes many annual’ crops are perennial in tropical climes. Try climbing beans many should live for years and some like scarlet runner supposedly produce edible tubers when grown in a greenhouse or tropical clime. Grow on.
Sorrel is very good to make soup with boil egg added after finishing cooking.We in Poland cook it is often.When you have extra,you can cannedcfor winter.Very delicious soup with heavy cream
We call those Egyptian onions: walking Egyptian onions. As the seed head gets heavy it will cause the stalk to fall over & then the bulb starts a new onion in another spot. They are so cool. I got mine a couple of years ago.
Hi! Thank you so much for doing this video series! I purchased your DVD at the beginning of this year and am planning our orchard to be planted this winter. I'd love to know more depth of what you are doing in the nut tree part of the orchard. Maybe a tour? One question I have is how do you harvest the nuts with all that understory growth? Thank you again for your work!
I have just recently come across (found) your channel. A great presentation style and whoever does the editing..... a great sense of humour too. G'day from Sydney Australia.
This video helped a great deal knowing what is good to use when planting out fruit trees or even just for good perennials to have around the yard. Plus, they are grown from seed (except perhaps the daylily, but we have some of those I can divide)
Thank you very, very much. Super helpful :) I totally agree with encouraging edible plants that grow like “weeds.” I am so happy to hear you endorsing that. They are usually extremely nutrient dense as well. I appreciate how practical and helpful your videos are. Blessings. :)
Absolutely great video. Thank you for sharing. I don’t have a yard so can those grow indoors? I would really enjoy visiting you within the next 12 months.
Wow, so happy I found video, loved it and immediately SUBSCRIBED!! I have most of these plants in containers, can't wait till tomorrow, I'm off on weekend and going to my chalet and will be digging them out of the container and plant them on my vegetable garden
Have most of these.Daylilies edible!will try,have them.1st variety of arugula I have not seen.Fresh daily additions to the dishes are the best.Go to your neighbors,most love to share.Hey nature nurture’s them ample.
Great video. I did not know that day lilies are edible. I have struggled to get garlic chives to grow from seed. I want them so bad. Next year I will buy the plant to make sure that I get some. I am racking my brain for other perennial herbs to suggest. I put in a winter savoury plant this year. It is tasty, but I want to see how it over winters before I go recommending it. Oh, lemon balm and lime balm is amazing but it might be an annual (I was really hoping that it would be perennial). I didn’t know about the intense flavour of the onion heads of Egyptian onions. I have just been replanting those and enjoying the greens. I can’t wait to try them.
Stefan Sobkowiak I love the garlic flavour. I have tried them in someone else’s garden. Alas, they are gone and I missed my opportunity that way. I will find and buy some started in a green house since I have had no luck with seed. Thank you for getting back to me.
First time to view your channel and loved it! I’m in Zone 7, North Central Texas and have several of your top ten. Established in my yard is garlic chives, day lilies, oregano, thyme and I’ve been annually sowing arugula, Swiss chard, & kale. Just last year planted Lemon Balm, a wonderful mint and some lemon grass. Hoping it winters well! Daylily flowers in salad? Wonderful info, thank you!
I'm curious where you are in Central Texas that's zone 7? I'm in Austin ( the heart of Central Texas), which is 8b. Dallas is 8a, which is north, not central, Texas. www.newagepet.com/know-your-zone-gardening-guide/
This year I want to grow everything - every herb - every veggie. We are in Zone 9B SW Arizona (so far from Canada) and we will find out which grows best here so in the future we will know. Have already looked up and noted which garden plants like Full Sun, partial shade and the shade lovers - so I have laid out on paper what goes where. Will stagger our plants also for longer harvestings. Only a few things left to do before we can plant the garden areas which we extended. So excited because this year we have cattle guards (16 footers) for our climbing and tall plants to tie up those incredible arches. So excited. Starting hugelkultur also this year. Have all the amendments (and compost) for what each plant likes and needs. And, yes, we have plenty of room outside the veggie garden for wheat, corn, popcorn. We do have Citrus trees in the backyard along with Fig trees, Pakistani Mulberry, Everbearing Mulberries (3), two Apple trees, Barbados Cherry and Li and Lang Jujubes. Plan to get grape plants - 2 varieties in two different areas. Oh also a Pomegranate tree/bush. Will be planting the companion flowers for each area. Also will have white and sweet potatoes again. I think this year we will also try the round yellow potatoes. In our 70s so cannot extend much further but if we were younger we would plant the entire 6 acres. Judi
Our old orchard doesn't have much sunlight at the ground. Which perennials would you suggest for us in USDA Zone 3? Love the idea of planting something as ground cover instead of always having to mow the grass between the trees 🙂

I'd love to know more depth of what you are doing in the nut tree part of the orchard. Maybe a tour? One question I have is how do you harvest the nuts with all that understory growth? Thank you again for your work!
Sarah L great question in terms of a tour you’ll have to “stay tuned” ;)
Depends on the nuts. So far only hazelnuts are producing which are hand picked. We use a nut harvesting wire wheel for other nut trees elsewhere.
I have just recently come across (found) your channel. A great presentation style and whoever does the editing..... a great sense of humour too. G'day from Sydney Australia.
It seems he may have a son doing editing
Glad to have you onboard Chris. G'day.
Exactly, Zack does many of the edits (the best ones!).
Thanks I was starting to look into the perennial plants for my back yard
Glad I could help
Love watching you!!! You are so funny.
This video helped a great deal knowing what is good to use when planting out fruit trees or even just for good perennials to have around the yard. Plus, they are grown from seed (except perhaps the daylily, but we have some of those I can divide)
another great video Stefan, thanks for sharing that.
Thank you very, very much. Super helpful :) I totally agree with encouraging edible plants that grow like “weeds.” I am so happy to hear you endorsing that. They are usually extremely nutrient dense as well. I appreciate how practical and helpful your videos are. Blessings. :)
dancingcedar awesome we’re glad you enjoy them!
Absolutely great video. Thank you for sharing. I don’t have a yard so can those grow indoors? I would really enjoy visiting you within the next 12 months.
I’m not sure about all of them but we bring in chives and garlic chives for the winter in pots.
If you make an enclosed patio that has earth areas you can do that or get some grow boxes with water wells.
All of these are great ingredients for making chimichurri, the ultimate condiment for all your meats and other dishes too.
Fantastic! Thank you so much ❤️
Wow, so happy I found video, loved it and immediately SUBSCRIBED!! I have most of these plants in containers, can't wait till tomorrow, I'm off on weekend and going to my chalet and will be digging them out of the container and plant them on my vegetable garden
Wonderful, welcome aboard, lots to binge watch after gardening.
Haha! That´s a very good Video!
Greetings from Germany :D
Love your channel ❤Like your video guy’s touch (your son has your humour). Time smells so good and want to visit your farm🎉
Thanks so much!
Have most of these.Daylilies edible!will try,have them.1st variety of arugula I have not seen.Fresh daily additions to the dishes are the best.Go to your neighbors,most love to share.Hey nature nurture’s them ample.
Yes love garlic chives to, and onion chives as I’m not able to eat onion so get the flavour without the illness.
This was one of my favs!
Just found you, we are new Subs! Love your videos!
Robbie and Gary and we love you guys! Glad you enjoy the content so far more to come :)
@@ZaneMedia yes...really neat!
These videos are fantastic. Thanks Stefan!
Chris Holcombe thanks always awesome to hear the positive feedback!
The way you let them grow their own own way.... that's so obvious but very natural....
Great video. I did not know that day lilies are edible. I have struggled to get garlic chives to grow from seed. I want them so bad. Next year I will buy the plant to make sure that I get some.
I am racking my brain for other perennial herbs to suggest. I put in a winter savoury plant this year. It is tasty, but I want to see how it over winters before I go recommending it. Oh, lemon balm and lime balm is amazing but it might be an annual (I was really hoping that it would be perennial).
I didn’t know about the intense flavour of the onion heads of Egyptian onions. I have just been replanting those and enjoying the greens. I can’t wait to try them.
Yes get some garlic chives, well worth the effort. If you like garlic flavour.
Stefan Sobkowiak I love the garlic flavour. I have tried them in someone else’s garden. Alas, they are gone and I missed my opportunity that way. I will find and buy some started in a green house since I have had no luck with seed.
Thank you for getting back to me.
So glad I found your channel!😊
I enjoy watching your posts . Just a lot.. 👍👍👍
Great vids. Why would anybody thumbs down? Crazy.
First time to view your channel and loved it! I’m in Zone 7, North Central Texas and have several of your top ten. Established in my yard is garlic chives, day lilies, oregano, thyme and I’ve been annually sowing arugula, Swiss chard, & kale. Just last year planted Lemon Balm, a wonderful mint and some lemon grass. Hoping it winters well! Daylily flowers in salad? Wonderful info, thank you!
I'm curious where you are in Central Texas that's zone 7? I'm in Austin ( the heart of Central Texas), which is 8b. Dallas is 8a, which is north, not central, Texas.

Nice ideas.
You're too happy to not be stoned! Great visual personality...great video!
His not going to show you his special plants
@@michaelgutierrez6293 rule #1, don't tell anyone
This year I want to grow everything - every herb - every veggie. We are in Zone 9B SW Arizona (so far from Canada) and we will find out which grows best here so in the future we will know. Have already looked up and noted which garden plants like Full Sun, partial shade and the shade lovers - so I have laid out on paper what goes where. Will stagger our plants also for longer harvestings. Only a few things left to do before we can plant the garden areas which we extended. So excited because this year we have cattle guards (16 footers) for our climbing and tall plants to tie up those incredible arches. So excited. Starting hugelkultur also this year. Have all the amendments (and compost) for what each plant likes and needs. And, yes, we have plenty of room outside the veggie garden for wheat, corn, popcorn. We do have Citrus trees in the backyard along with Fig trees, Pakistani Mulberry, Everbearing Mulberries (3), two Apple trees, Barbados Cherry and Li and Lang Jujubes. Plan to get grape plants - 2 varieties in two different areas. Oh also a Pomegranate tree/bush. Will be planting the companion flowers for each area. Also will have white and sweet potatoes again. I think this year we will also try the round yellow potatoes. In our 70s so cannot extend much further but if we were younger we would plant the entire 6 acres. Judi
Judi I’m sure with a garden like that you don’t feel like your age.
@@StefanSobkowiak Yes with all the preparing I am getting stronger. Judi
Thanks for sharing... I am collecting edible perennial. I don't really know that day can be eaten... Greetings from belgium
Our old orchard doesn't have much sunlight at the ground. Which perennials would you suggest for us in USDA Zone 3? Love the idea of planting something as ground cover instead of always having to mow the grass between the trees 🙂
The most profitable would be shade tolerant cut flowers. There are lists of such plants for each zone.
Wow.. i just learned something new about day lilies 😍😍
Kim check out last weeks daylily video for more on them.
@@StefanSobkowiak thanks 😊
Man you are excellent! Keep going
Entertaining and informative
Haha.... nice video .. watching from Philippines.
Well presented. Liked and shared. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for sharing William.
My thoughts exactly re mint.. 🤗
