The author presents many, many edible perennials for our consideration. This section is really valuable. I've never seen so much attention to the issue that keeps tubers and roots in the ground: how to harvest from your root perennials without losing your stand of plants? Occasionally judgements are presented which I hope readers will take with a grain of salt: Good King Henry (another Chenopodium) the author "really did not like the flavour", Salad Burnet "grew it but did not like the flavour".

Why not get a second opinion instead of simply discouraging readers from trying it?
