The following photo galleries show how our zone 2 (permaculture) garden areas have progressed over time - from 2003 to the present. As with all the photo galleries on the site, please single click on an image to see a larger view and/or a slideshow.

Once again, our biggest challenge has been the soil and the need to incorporate as much organic matter as possible. This area is where we used the woodchip mulch that came from the trees that we cleared from the house site in 2005. Once again, after several years, we are finally starting to see some progress.
