5 Crops I Plant Once & Come Back Every Year

Want to know the secret to harvesting more food without buying or planting seed every year?

Instead of ripping out plants when they start to bolt or go to flower, plant heirloom or open-pollinated seeds (this is super important for this to work) and let some of them flower and go to seed.

Especially plants like lettuce, dill, calendula, and cilantro that don't cross with other plants. Carrots can cross with Queen Anne's Lace but I've had fabulous success with them without taking any special measures like I do with high cross pollinating plant varieties like the squash families.

Learn to garden like our ancestors, before everyone bought seeds everywhere or had grow lights and heat pads for starts (though yes I use both of those for tomatoes and peppers as I live in the far north and have a very short warm weather season and it's do that or don't hae those crops) but as a general rule of thumb I garden with as little extra work as possible.

Do you use this method? If so what crops are you doing this with?
