Help With Permaculture Planning
I live in Northeast OH in zone 6b. I have had a vegetable garden the past 2 years and am slowly becoming obsessed with living as self-sustainably as possible and am creating a food forest. I decided to use the James Prigioni method and covered roughly 1,000 sq ft. in layer of wood chips 6-8in deep. I ordered 3 apple trees, a cherry, a peach, 2 blueberries, and 2 raspberries. The trees are dwarfs, except for the peach, which is a semi-dwarf. All bare-root which will be shipped in early March.
I have heavy clay soil. I dugout where the peach tree is going and backfilled with half native soil/half compost, and plan on doing that with the other 4 trees when the rest of my compost is finished For the blueberries I plan on working some peat moss in the soil to increase the acidity.
I am looking for some advice in planting and if there is anything you would change with the design I created? I spaced the dwarf fruit trees with a 4ft. radius from center, and the peach with a 7ft radius. I plan on fencing in the entire area, so would 4ft be enough space for a dwarf tree next to a cattle fence, or should I move them out a little bit? I plan on planting milkweed, purple coneflower, and other perennials throughout the garden, what else would you recommend flower wise? Moving forward what else would you add to the garden?
P.S. I plan on installing a rain water catchment system in the spring, and would like to build a slow sand/biofilter in the future for potable water, if anyone has experience with that!
Thanks,
Brendan

There was a Vancouver nursery visit too; behind the scenes at Phoenix Perennials
In 2023—when I was in Vancouver, BC, for Study Weekend—I stopped in Phoenix Perennials, to see what they had on offer, and left with several things on my wish list (that visit is here). My second visit took place earlier this month, but this time I got to wander the off-limits greenhouse. Of course we walked through the nursery on the way, where I was awe-struck by the echium offerings.
Wowsa! Echium pininana with a few Echium wildpretii along the front.
Cyclamen coum ‘Christmas Tree Group’
, love that foliage.
Damn, how sad is this? They put an incredibly positive spin on it (Rare Succulent Shopping: for the security of our rare succulents, we now have them displayed in this new “jewel box”…) but basically it boils down to the fact people have been stealing plants.
It’s heartbreaking.
Hey it’s my frog friend and a pyrrosia from Little Prince of Oregon!
Wollemia nobilis
With cones…
Interesting rock planting.
Okay, now we’re in the greenhouse, full of treasures.
I love it anytime I see ferns and agaves grouped together, cause you know they’re my favorites.

It’s always special to see a flowering protea in a greenhouse.
Aeonium (Greenovia) aureum ‘Gran Canaria’
Crassula spiralis wraps up this post and concludes my posts on my Vancouver adventure. What a weekend!
