Learning about Permaculture

Luke and Tofu are studying from The Earth User’s Guide to Permaculture:

This book was written in Australia so some of the day to day situations don’t apply to us here in Massachusetts. For example, they have different animals and critters running around their yard and different tree species. But the concepts of storing water, preserving wild spaces, and creating workable, sustainable food producing zones are still applicable in our neck of the woods. Luke and I have really been inspired by this book in particular. It gives detailed plans and descriptive diagrams and sketches. Thanks for letting us borrow it Sarah!

In the garden we are harvesting peppers, tomatoes, string beans and cucumbers:
