Which of those is perennial?  The brassicas types are all annuals. The
alliums will self seed or grow from bulblets etc but each generation only
lasts a year or less.

 Ah   the wading pool I miss it.  Still my mints come back as the
rosemary and  a few others like sage,  Got some Egyptian onions that  
winter over  too.  Day lilies  abound also.
   My idea of perennial food is not only like the mint but more like the
seed that continues on in time.  Yea not a perennial  but perennial  in
a way.

 Perhaps poor word choice.

  Bill whose garlic chives are up and about with  a lot of non edible  
perennials  who I  wonder about.  Oak acorns are every where but the
prep to remove the  hazard  eludes me still I wonder about  if squirrels
and early  americans  and pigs why not?

Borrow from your friendly library: "Oak, framework of society."  You'll be
amazed by how many civilizations used acorns as their major food.

It's a good concept.  Maybe they could be called successionals.  The trouble
is that word has already been claimed by ecologists and means something
different.
