He shoots… he misses? Today is all about a little idea. The idea itself, don’t worry ’bout it, we’ll get to that in time. For now, please enjoy me getting my butt kicked in today’s post: Never Try Never Win.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this “Exploring Permaculture” series thus far. My sketches aren’t getting any better, but I haven’t busted out the crayons yet, so I’ll celebrate the small victories as I may. In today’s post, “Exploring Permaculture: Site Design,” our final chapter of this series, we’ll summarize our findings and design our plan of attack come spring. I’m about as excited as can be, hope you are too!
We woke up this morning to a wintry mess offering from Mother Nature. What a perfect day to dream about fun times ahead in the garden! If you missed our first installment of Exploring Permaculture: Site Analysis (Part I), you can check it out here. Please enjoy today’s post which wraps up observations: Exploring Permaculture: Site Analysis (Part II).
