I said in a recent podcast that one of the things I love about permaculture is that it actually created real innovations that can actually be applied to our own gardens for our benefit. So many things in horticulture are kind of theoretical but permaculture gives us real results. I think that's the primary reason why so many people have been drawn to it in recent years.
I never did get out to take photos, it rained all day (for you, too, I suspect.)
