Fruit trees and evergreens from a nursery.

Edible perennial plants, such as perennial garlic, rhubarb, asparagus, creeping perennial onion, etc. According to the book "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell, The hunter-gatherer ǃKung people work no more than 19 hours a week. They do not grow any plants or raise any animals, but subsist mainly on perennial fruits, berries, roots, and nuts. When a bushman was asked once why his people hadn't taken to agriculture, he looked puzzled and said, "Why should we plant, when there are so many mongongo nuts in the world?". Now that is easy in the tropics, but temperate climates are more difficult.
