I’m stealing a few hours this morning while the rain dampens our efforts to start putting up some photos of the preparation for our Permablitz.\u00a0We have been working solidly for several weeks and I have neglected my blog terribly, as we have slowly been swallowed up by a growing mound of clay and so many earth walls to build before Sunday!<\/p>\n
Although we are excited by the new design,\u00a0 nostalgia made us solemn as we ripped up some of our old chook rotation garden beds. A carrot gone wild had started to bloom and I felt sad to deprive our bees of its pillowy blossom.<\/p>\n
Since we started our little veggie path in July of last year I have never stopped delighting in the wonders of flowers, roots and leaves that I had never before associated with the produce from the green grocer.<\/p>\n
