Book Giveaway! Four Blogs, Three Permaculture Books

But the more I learn, the more I realize how set in its ways my mind is. My brain takes comfort in the idea of an annual garden and its straight rows. Those rows = my rut.

And it lived out front and I tended it and cared for it and harvested the scapes and made it into pesto. And even though there were only four little garlics, there was much love.

Potato Condos, Old & New
