Gardening is something we take seriously here. The purpose of this blog is to share information as well as concepts so that everyone can and hopefully will benefit in the pursuit of growing and maintaining a healthy as well as sustainable garden for the enrichment of life.
I must confess though, it was never something I ever gave any serious thought or inclination to. My brother in Law Charles, won a raffle and asked us if we would be interested in the prize instead, for a “Permablitz” which was a prize in which a group of experienced permaculture specialists and gardeners would all show up at a certain day and help you build the beginnings of your garden.
More akin to the old “Barn Raising” in the old days where the Community all showed up to help build a neighbors barn. We decided to do so and also joined the group Transition Houston. This opened a whole new world for us and the love of gardening thus took hold in our lives. We built three beds and some compost bins and we have since added two more beds and additional growing space against the fence by the pool.
