@ChristyFStrouse @GreenGoesLeft Thinking about shelter and food is a great way to attract wild animals to your garden 💚

@Perma_Paths @GreenGoesLeft Currently I’m trying to figure out how to bring back garden snakes and frogs to my urban backyard. (And a place they want to stay 😌)

People often don’t understand that they’re looking at a garden at all when they see my backyard. They assume it is some kind of eccentric jungle themed backyard park, or really weird decorative landscaping.

The most radical act in our consumer culture is creating more than you consume. This can be a compost pile built. A seed saved. A skill learned. A meal grown. Gardening is a way to model a regenerative future.

@AMENGardens Hope you like it, Bill!

@Perma_Paths Thank you, looking forward to reading your eBook (permaculturepaths.kit.com/transformhomeg…) Note: doesn't display correctly with Firefox browser, looks ok on Chrome.

Spring is almost here. Keep buying inputs for your garden—or build self-sustaining systems that produce what you need all season. Our ebook shows how to transform your garden with permaculture. Link in comments 👇🌱

@cognazor Go, garlic's 💪

Garlic in the snow. Usually pretty hardy, but let’s see how they bounce back from two nights of ~15 degree lows

@TheDragonGrill So cute 🥺🥰

Maxine just finished her grooming appointment. Time for treats. She looks so good.

@RealTalk8386 @TR_T2T Couldn't agree more!

The health of our soil is tied to our own.

@TheLastFarm @davidgoodier Yes, yes, yes!

You can use this as motivation to plant a garden & organize for food sovereignty, or you can wait until the situation is truly dire, whichever you prefer

@SourdoughWeekly 😍😍

All I ask for is a giant wholegrain sourdough cracker that's big enough to hold delicious omelet 😜

@GreenGoesLeft The kind of compulsive behavior true gardeners have 😆

I worked overtime two days in a row and of course instead of saving the extra money as I should in the face of impending economic problems, I bulk ordered hepaticas and a couple resurrection ferns to experiment with 😜

@DamonZumbroegel thanks 🙏

@Perma_Paths These are the times when we “face Death” and “Choose Life”. Big things in our lives. Either it changes you forward, or it closes you down. Stay open…..

Gardening in cold climates takes planning and preparation. I had the plans ready for 2026. Beds mapped out, seeds chosen, seedlings started. A broken leg wasn’t part of the plan. But life has its own way of rearranging seasons. So the new plan for 2026: once I’m back on my feet, I’ll spend the summer helping friends and neighbors in their gardens. What are your gardening plans for the year?

@SheepTaiChi @GreenGoesLeft The power of building real resilient systems!

@Perma_Paths @GreenGoesLeft We had an oasis of biodiversity in the middle of a major city. One of the side effects was that it attracted birds, insects and animals not previously seen in our area. Such as a Bald Eagle in my backyard which the director of the local Audubon Society claimed was “impossible.”

@DamonZumbroegel It was a very deep and intense experience for us. The way things happened really showed us how to be alive and soon completely healthy was really a divine gift 💚 we're very grateful to be alive! Thanks for your celebration, it means a lot 💛

@Perma_Paths Oh my dear a lord! I had no idea! Thank the heavens the new is this good….you are both alive. I know this from a good life…..no matter what, you are on the right track. God laughs at plans, you should too. I’m celebrating…….your lives!

@cognazor Beautiful 💚

Preparations for the tree nursery ongoing. Air prune boxes for long taprooted trees and those highly vulnerable to critters. Compost covered decomposing wood chip beds for everything else. Fall '26: germinate 1000s of seeds Spring '27: plant them Fall '27: dig out and sell

But what if your garden wasn't a production line at all It could be a flywheel—a system that, once set in motion with intelligence and design, builds its own momentum and becomes easier to operate with each rotation.

Most gardeners see their backyard the same way a factory manager sees an assembly line. You push it forward with work. You add inputs at one end—fertilizer, water, amendments, pest control products, your time, your back, your weekends.
