Have you seen the film DARE TO BE WILD? Could be up your alley... it’s about Mary Reynolds, an Irish garden designer who wants people to remember, care about & cultivate the beauty of wilderness. ✨ Good spiritual lessons & a beautiful homage to nature in it! 🦋💫🌳
I agree that industrial farming (and industrial thinking) has spoiled much of our natural inheritance. All the natural systems were in place before human beings decided to commodify everything. You're permaculture ideas help to turn back the clock. I was reminded of my mom, who's ninety-seven, telling me that when she was a kid living "in town," they had a cow. Of course they had a vegetable garden too. I think a lot of people did. The reason they sold the cow though was that the city made an ordinance that you couldn't have a cow inside the city limits. I don't actually know what the reason for this was. (Too much mooing or too much manure?) It must have been in the mid 1930s when this happened and that was a time when separating everything and everybody into boxes was really catching on. The word, "integration" is used in many ways but, whatever it is, it usually describes something positive.

I would love to hear more about the succession planting of cucumbers etc.
Do you think this would work with kale? My Tuscan kale always gets aphids.
I will look into that. Thank you!
You had me hooked when you used the phrase, “All the tools in the kit.”
