Flores Permaculture

Our Zone 2 is steadily growing and improving as we clear more jungle from the adjoining  Zone 3 and replace it with edible plants. Below Kristina transplants young seedlings around our newly established Golden Bamboo . We added 7 new Tamarillo trees in addition to the 5 that are now producing fruits. Below Konswan stands in a garden that was only underbrush earlier this year.  Already she has harvested from this land several times and now has freshly replanted it with Winter crops. Below is the upgraded garden that we began clearing last  April .  What was a scrubby mess a few months ago is now abundant in Eggplants. Another newly created garden has just had the onions harvested and is now replanted with Red Mustard and Shiso . Our  Mulbeery Trees  are thriving in the chicken enclosure along with the  Strawberry Guava , both excellent for humans and foul alike to eat. Konswan is tying up her plants in advance of the coming winds of autum

The ladder to the sleeping loft is installed now , and the second wall is closed to the wind and rain. Now two walls are completely closed to the elements and the other two are being framed for windows and doors. Elit helps to install the sink in the new kitchen. The south facing wall has a window being installed to allow natural sunlight to enter the kitchen.  Eyal and Elit build a table and benches for the sitting space.
