Thank you for emphasizing the use of native plants and pollinators so much! Permaculture is such an amazing community and movement, but the conversation of supporting native ecosystems specifically is a little underrepresented, but also is such a vital part of a true garden ecosystem! So thanks again :)

The piles/compost piles you do will take ages to rot and also the soil will not be very beneficient since they mostly consist of wood. Youll need greens 2 : 1 browns/wood for good compost.

I would recommend not planting your stronger smelling herbs seperatly. Intersperse them with the crops most affected by pests.

One thing to keep in mind: although animal meat is dense in calories, the amount of calories animals can produce per acre is much, much less than crops can produce.

My top survival crops are Geese(we do American Buff) and Muscovy (the standard White meat bird breed) They both can (and do, here) subsist 100% on forage - lawn, pasture weed. They both breed prolifically and raise their own young. Ours roam the property semi-feral (we don't feed, we don't water, we don't house, we don't fence them in (though you do have to fence them OUT of your garden areas - but we already had to do that to keep the deer out). They live out there on The Ponds and surrounding pasture in and amongst the wild/native Mallard and Canada populations. They do their thing in Spring (makin' babies) and starting about now (mid to late Aug) they are sized up to harvest. No need for storage - they are stored "on the hoof" so to speak. Let them live their best lives out there and only pick off one or two as needed. We take a Muscovy a week, give or take, and one or two Goose a month... all year long. Roughly 400+ pounds of tasty animal protein a year for ZERO work other than harvest/butcher.

I started sweet potatoes here in Dallas/Fort Worth last year and they produced a lot, grow faster in the hot months, but you must water them often. They seem to need water and we are a dry hot summer climate. They also store well once cured inside the cooler house. I always save a few green growing slips in large pots over the winter inside for next year. I suggest you try them.

Thank you sir for sharing your experience!! Appreciate your hard work. We have been working with a small garden for the past three years and it is definitely a learning experience and our family has farming background. Until one starts planning and work a garden one just doesn’t have the appreciation for the time involved. God bless

A friend experimented with mystery potatoes one year & one that did very well out in the dry desert's hot climate of NM was a type of potato that grows all along his fence on a vine. The potatoes grow on the vines, not in the soil. You can see them, possibly a sweet variety. I forgot the name of them. 5-to-8 times a regular potato's mass. The Jerusalem Artichoke is another amazing crop to help you thrive, not just survive.

I'm member of a CSA where you go to the farm and harvest your produce yourself. The farmers hang out flags to show what can be harvested. Purple flag for tasting only, blue for harvest what you can eat fresh and yellow for harvest plenty, also for jam, pickles or soup because it's about to shoot. I can go whenever I want and choose the veggies i like. Onceca month it's 'work-day', and members are asked to help if possible with planting or weeding. And there are events like movie night or camp weekend. I can't seem to find a lot of CSA's who work this way, most have boxes. I like to go to the farm and take my time, away from the hussle of life. But I guess it's not for everyone to go harvest (if rain for ex). And prolly some crops are lost if members aren't to carefull where they walk or harvest to early.

Him in you, you in Him? Jesus is The Word, John 1:1-5 The Word God spoke: Exodus 20:1 The Word God wrote: Deuteronomy 4:13 and The Word God made flesh John 1:14 Jesus is the law that hung on the cross as well as the law God wrote upon our heart. If Jesus is in you, you must get in Him. Our directions are found in Deut. 6:8-9. Become a disciple of Jesus.

It’s hard to find a well made shovel anymore. I prefer wooden handles for comfort but I’ve broke just about every shovel I’ve bought in the last 10 years or so. At least I still have one that’s about 30 years old that is my dad’s so I use it occasionally.

Jerusalem Artichokes aka Sunchokes are the ultimate "survival crop" . Easy to grow , the tubers self-store in the ground, what you don't dig will increase indefinitely. I find the roots quite tasty, my pig loves them too, the goats like the leaves, stems, and flowers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem_artichoke
