By vegetable I mean leaves, leafstalks, shoots, flowers, flowerbuds (broccolis), tubers, corms, rhizomes, roots, pods, beans and other above- or below-ground parts that are eaten raw or cooked as a meal or side dish. Some of these root crops are plant/replant perennials, meaning they are dug up for harvest but then some portion is replanted in the same or another hole, keeping the plant alive to produce again the following year. These are crops that fit my definition of perennial vegetable: living three or more years, used as a vegetable and not a novelty crop or culinary herb, and not destroyed by harvesting.
