Now what?

We have moved.  Larger cottage.  Tinier garden space.  The Ultimate Permaculture Challenge: 
The Tiny Suburban Garden


looking left...

very Zen, yes.  But how do we make it productive and not just decorative?

Start with a few carrots, spring onions, tomato plants, oregano, basil, pineapple sage and plain sage, a spekboom and a rosemary...

An awkward project: a tiered...thing that was built to have a water feature but abandoned.  There are a large number of succulents and a lot of bulbonella in the very shallow soil.  Yes, very shallow, and no drainage.  Great

Someone once had a garden here...possible compost spot?  Way too much shade in here for growing what with the giant Natal wild bananas hogging all the sunshine...
