Some statistics
In absence of any real work and the presence of rain, here are some stats about the garden plot.

What if the world as we know it devolved into a pre-industrial state? Which of your seeds would be perennials? Would you make different choices as to which vegetables you were growing?
I don't think any of the vegetables I grow are truly perennial. However, I could (and have) grown vegetables before from seed I saved. Prime examples are beans and tomatoes, but I guess that could be extended to most of the items I am growing. I usually try to stay away from hybrids.
Thanks. Btw, are hybrid plants sterile the way that hybrid fauna are?
some are, some aren't. The ones that are usually don't come "true". This means they revert back to one of their parents and usually don't have all the qualities that make them desirable.
