Final harvest at our possibly-final #permaculturerenting plot… we’re handing the keys back tomorrow, and leaving the rest of this veg in the ground for the next family, who move in this week. . Thanks, little scrap of land, you have been good to us. We hope we’ve left you better than we found you. . There’s carrots and purple sprouting broccoli aplenty that we planted back in autumn, as well as lots of herbs and sweet peas getting ready to bloom. It should be a lovely spring in this little backyard. . Onward, to designing and planting a patch that we won’t need to move on from… new design challenges indeed! . Can’t wait. . #melukerdeecountry #earthcare #peoplecare #fairshare

Meet Angelique and Kip @smarterbynature from Tallahassee, Florida,USA “We are farmers who are inspired to create sustainable relationships between people and the natural environment by providing education and fresh food to our local community. We live in a food desert where there is a lack of fresh locally grown food. We founded Smarter by Nature LLC, an urban and rural farming business. Our goal is to provide fresh produce and opportunities for economic sustainability through education, as well as restore the natural environment. The total farm is 5 acres and we are currently growing our market garden area on 1 acre. We grow seasonal annual vegetables to provide to the farmers’ market. Some of the crops we are growing for the summer include, squash, tomatoes and peppers. We also grow perennial plants, trees and herbs to add diversity to our farm. To prevent erosion and sequestered water, we cover our soil with spoiled hay as our mulch. Our pest management includes intercropping our vegetables with herbs and flowers. We incorporate hedge rows in our market garden system for birds and other beneficial predators to nest and feed. The biggest hurdle we face is access to resources to sustain a productive and profitable farm. We enjoy helping our customers on their healthy eating journey. We love when people express how they appreciate the service, goods and advice we provide. We love working in nature because the action is healing and the result is nourishing. Nature always provides opportunity for growth so we encourage everyone to grow.” Website: www.smarterbynature.org Youtube: www.youtube.com/smarterbynaturetv Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/smarterbynaturedesign/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/smarterbynature?fan_landing=true Twitter: https://twitter.com/Smarterbynatur @humanswhogrowfood features stories of home gardeners, farmers and community gardens across borders and cultures.

Last summers we harvested so many peaches that I’m still eating the ones I canned. . It’s a good thing I canned so many because this summer the squirrels ate every single one. It’s a true testament to what a great job our dog Burdock does of chasing off the squirrels. . Photo: @alinatyulyu

Front garden path. Crocosmia ‘Paul’s Best Yellow’ now at its peak with the lighter yellow Rudbeckia fulgida var deamii getting going. Astilbe chinensis ‘Purple Lance’ just going over and the very similarly coloured but bright purple Lythrum ‘Zigeuner Blut’ popping through. These planting go through four distinct colour changes each season, each one made of just two or three different plants that rise through the earlier layers below. These plants are then repeated in groups along the length. I like the way that as the summer goes on, the planting pushes more and more into the path, leaving just the narrow passageway between. The planting is dense so there is no need for any serious weeding and there’s no dead-heading – the dark seed heads of Iris sibirica cultivars from earlier in the summer are already looking good and so soon will the Astilbes. I love the combination of rich golden yellow and bright purple-pink. I try and fill the garden full of these more intimate and set-piece naturalistic plantings that each in themselves are enough for a small garden – you don’t need huge amounts of space or big gardens to do it. #naturalistic #plantingdesign #gardendesign #shefplanting #landscapearchitecture #colour #perennial #wildgarden #sustainabledesign
