I’m with Deb there above, it’s all about dirt under the fingernails lol.

To be truthful, I’m still not sure that I have a full grasp of what permaculture is, since it wasn’t really spoken about until recently here, it’s starting to filter into the everyday garden talk a bit more each year.

But if it’s sustaining, and building up the soil, the land, loving the earth, and respecting it, and abstaining from pesticides then I am totally in, both hands full of dirty fingernails.

We are in our 3rd spring here in our new to us house…the back yard was like a football field when we moved in. Apparently there was nothing but bare dirt there before…now. Well now, it’s starting to look like a wildlife haven, birds all year round, they bring their babies back to visit, butterflies, and pollinators swing by to see what’s for lunch…We have the occasional deer in the winter, and there has been rumors of a black bear cub.

I’m happy to make it hospitable for them, now if only the cats would stop using my raised beds as litterboxes…lol.
