The autumn harvest has already come to an end, and many summer residents are busy with other things related to preparing for winter.

But there is a category of perennial vegetables that do not need to be completely removed from the garden bed, as they can survive the winter and continue to delight you with a harvest in the spring.

Let's touch a little on the topic of crops that do not necessarily need to be removed from the garden for the winter.

Let us turn to the opinion of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

Which perennial vegetables can survive the winter?

First of all, these are sorrel, horseradish, rhubarb, lovage and rhizome onions (batun, slizun and chives).

This category also includes herbs that can grow in the garden for five seasons in a row - mint, lemon balm, oregano, catnip and tarragon (it is better to cover them with mulch for the winter).

In the first year, these crops are usually not harvested, giving them a chance to get stronger; harvesting begins the following spring, when new foliage grows.
