Grow your own salads every day with virtually no work

I recently went to a workshop on growing perennial vegetables with a local guy, Norris Thomlinson, who is currently living in his fourth forest garden. He showed us how easy it is to build a perennial vegetable garden that takes very little maintenance and will provide you with a large range of greens for salads any day of the year, with almost no maintenance. While the up front effort is similar to one year of annual vegetable gardening, in all subsequent years, the maintenance effort is really limited. If this sounds interesting to you, Norris teaches free workshops and you can read more about him in the story below that recently came out in the Portland Tribune.
