Introduction to Permaculture Part 7

We stopped then for a sumptuous lunch of sourdough breads, fresh salads and the most tasty marinated tofu I've ever eaten! We'd been blessed (?) with a very hot weekend (high 30's), and it was quite an effort to drag ourselves away after such a fabulous lunch to go out in the very hot sun.

Evan took us back up past the Mulberries and chook house...
    The mulberries provide shade and shelter and food for the chooks.

...to the Food Forest at the top of the property. There we helped him sow Pidgeon Pea, a nitrogen fixing cover crop, and plant a couple of Citrus, Galangal and Ginger. In among the forest where a number of interesting bushes and trees...
                   Buddha's Hand Lime, with a mulch of Arrowroot leaves.
