They love eating spoiled apples -- it's even funnier to watch them eat the apples because they get it all over their beak and face, haha.
"Imperial Line" (a rural pathway), near the town of Nova Petrópolis (southern Brasil), on the road to Canela.

Linha Imperial (Nova Petrópolis-RS). A caminho de Canela-RS.
so as i was mapping our property i discovered something so interesting. . . the very old apple trees were planted in a equilateral triangle (not so bizarre as hexagons are a customary orchard planting technique) but that it was a perfect 33 ft equilateral trialngle that points due north! AND i discovered this on 3-13-11 exactly one year since we have moved to our house/farm. i know these numbers are very mystical. .. i just don't know why yet.
the book i'm referencing is the second book Edible Forest Gardens by Dave Jacke (who is coming to teach a day of my PDC course at the end of march!!) woot!
Strawberrys are great - just cut some runners off a friend's patch (thanks dad!), and away they go. We're now growing more than we eat. The strawberry plants are in one of the perennial plant sections of our no-lawn garden.
Our five chooks are firing out six eggs per day now, in their 4-paddock rotating chicken run. Again, we can't eat that many eggs!
And meanwhile, lots of other edible plants are busy growing, in both the rotating & wicking veggie garden, the other perennial beds, or the young fruit trees that share space with our chickens.
This beautiful sheet was happily collaborated on by a group
of 15 ~ 25 people..at the former Robert Barton Trust in Glastonbury.
And it encapsulates pretty much everything that permaculture is about: nature, beauty, happiness and community.
You can find lots of information about Permaculture on the internet.. a simple Search will make that abundantly clear; wikipedia is a good start..
These days courses are happening nearly all over the planet and you can find hundreds - if not thousands - of videos on YouTube to deepen your knowledge on the many aspects.
Herewith an example of how things can be done
in even the most adverse of circumstances.
And obviously: if it can be done there..
it can easily be done just about anywhere:
Community art.. many people magickally collaborating
to .. their appreciation for + aspects of permaculture.
This is how the sheet started:

Here's the autumn look of my side garden, which has appeared in my photostream in summer. It's a permaculture design which shades the patio and house in summer and lets in warm sunlight in winter. But in autumn it's at its best!

En bordure de dunes, un petit espace de permaculture a été aménagé afin d'inviter les gens à la pratiquer...c'est un joli petit coin cultivé..malheureusement le temps très capricieux l'a beaucoup abimé.
La permaculture originelle (agriculture permanente) est la conception consciencieuse et la gestion de systèmes agricoles productifs qui possèdent les caractéristiques de diversité, de stabilité et de résilience des écosystèmes naturels.

On the edge of the dunes, a small space of permaculture has been arranged to invite people to practice it ... it is a nice little corner cultivated ... unfortunately the weather very capricious has much damaged.
