I have been told that if i grow vegetables such as carrots the actual plant only lasts a year. I dont want to have to re-plant every year. im also not that experienced. I use my chicken manure as fertiliser as i like to be organic. i have sandy soil. what vegetables would you advise me to plant. sorry for the strange question.

Carrots are harvested the year of sowing.
If you want to grow perennial vegetables, there are a few such as globe artichokes, seakale and asparagus, and rhubarb is also a vegetable, technically.
Chicken manure is fine for leafy vegetable crops, especially on light sandy soil.Â
