When I moved here there was a small organic garden but most of the topsoil was washed away by gold mining and logging. I'm creating a food forest and learning permaculture practices. There is more life here now but I still have challenges with soil and water scarcity. Swales, rain-gardens, drip watering, and sheet mulching have helped a lot. I live out in the forest so I rely on the internet and books to learn as well as my many mistakes.

Gorgeous! I always love seeing all the different colors of honey displayed at the state fair - the more redish hues always intrigue me! |

Looks like my drip lines got plugged up while I was at the Oregon coast for a week. What a withered garden... The good news is that the peaches are ripe!

I can't pick a favorite garden, so I vote for someone different each day. I love all of your gardens!

|
We can vote more than once per day? |

I totally misread the rules! I'll have to adopt a new plan. |
