Jonathan, I have a damaged nerve in my face and sadly, can no longer tolerate temperatures below 68 degrees... Which makes me effectively house-bound here the majority of the year. I escape to visit friends and family in Florida and California for a few weeks every winter to keep my sanity; the rest of the time I stay happy with a large indoor light garden...

So while I know all about the theory of winter Pemaculture-style gardening, the reality is up to others.

Thank you for responding. We nuns don't do anything stranger than any other gardeners. I'm grateful a number of friends have pitched in to help the nuns keep up some of the perennial borders I put in before my health self-destructed. Any time I've had to putter has been put into keeping some sort of order amongst the chaos of my semi-permaculture garden...
