In the first stages of replacing a section of the lawn with a perennial food ecosystem.
My sculptures, and top view of the garden:
http://www.flickr.com/photo...
The garden has a new coating of leaves for the winter!
The frost wiped out the vines first: tomatoes and peppers, then the basil, and the edges of the swiss chard... most of the cool weather stuff can survive a heavy frost!
Planted onions, garlic, and chives everywhere!
Plant perennials in early fall so they get the most time to root-in before next year's summer heat/dry weather.
Building up a small stock of each plant to build a food forest.
New patch of horseradish and basil setting in.
Mint, spearmint, and catnip in various places, naturalized, self seeding : )
A few thousand strawberry plants trapped in the wreckage of The Great Strawberry Dome Collapse.
The salad section has reseeded itself, and has been planted with onions/garlic.

About Me:
What does this do?
How did I do that?
What was I thinking?
Dolphins and horses inspire freeflowingness and vivacity, eagles inspire you to fly, cows and sheep impress you with their numbers!
When you walk with the wind, you may soon stand in a pile of leaves.
Magic: any phenomenon, imbued with wonder, compensating for, or in place of understanding.
When we study the world through the filters of language and reference, we cannot understand the inherent complexity of the world around us, and can only impose upon it.
When we study things directly, the tangible world becomes our library, and we learn to act in responsible negotiation with the greater world.
Tangible things provide a fullness of experience, and focusing on them opens our minds to the actual qualities of things.
In making, we experience things directly, in doing so, we recognize the inherent qualities of things, we learn the properties of materials, and connect with the intrinsic forces that drive the universe.
Through tangible immersion, we develop ways of thinking, that facilitate learning, and optimize our capacity for, and complexity of understanding, and our effectiveness in action.

Strawberry seeds do germinate well, but their slow perennial nature makes it a challenge to protect large numbers of them to maturity. Containers are perfect, keeping out competing plants, but they should be protected from extreme cold in winter by heeling in the containers and covering with leaves.
