terrace garden

Well here it is, my parent's new terraced garden. For thousands of years people have been terracing steep land in order to cultivate food crops. This rice terrace in Tat and Sert's village is over 8oo years old. This is a picture of the rice harvest in La Oop, a Lua village in north west Thailand where my friend Pii Sing Lives.

This garden however, involved trucks and loaders to bring the soil Up! Kind of funny, and really dependant on external inputs obviously, but hey, live where your food lives.

We had just taken out the rotten deck that used to be there.

and suddenly earth and stone.

First things first, let the perennials spread their roots. (raspberries)

The garden will also include a peach tree, herbs and annual vegetables!
