Rhubarb was the obvious answer, but what about artichokes? We had them in California, both in the Barf Area, and in SoCal.

We also have a bed of both red & yellow (multiplier?) scallion-like onions that re-green & divide every spring & fall, going dormant over the winter & droughty periods of summer. They act like perrenials, same as flower bulbs that are naturalized.

They were in the yard, along with rhubarb, when we bought a house 12 years ago; and we brought some of all of them with us when we moved 3 years ago. They just stay in the ground, and sub-zero doesn’t bother them.

After planting the 14 rhubarb divisions we moved, we found the 14 that were already on this property, on the edge of one of the ‘pasture’ areas.

We dig a clump, seperate out some for use, and put the rest back.
