Planting for Primates
With spring just around the corner it might be a good time to brush up on your shrubs, look into lichens, tutor yourself about trees and grow some new grass (the legal kind, of course, as we don't need any additional controversy for local law enforcement agencies to be opposing private primate ownership!) There are many ways of incorporating plants into a habitat for your primates safely and to add to their enrichment. A wonderful way in which to accomplish this is through a method called "permaculture".
"Permaculture (Permanent Agriculture or Permanent Culture) is the conscious design of a sustainable future based on co-operating with Nature and caring for the Earth and its people. It draws together the skills and knowledge of many ecologically sound disciplines to create integrated ways of providing for our needs, including food, shelter and financial and social structures." As such, it can be seen as the design of sustainable human (and non-human) habitats. You can do this as simply or as elaborate as your pocket is able to afford. The following information is a result of my search for "edible plants" on the Internet. For those of you who have Internet access I have included URL addresses. For those who do without the modern contraption called a computer, I have included book titles and authors for more information.

The maritime gardener growing vegetables or other edibles has unique opportunities, but also must face some special challenges. Our mild climate allows us to garden year-round; however, the same maritime influence that allows this also can make it more difficult to be successful. Heat-loving summer crops may not ripen without special care. Many cold-hardy winter crops cannot take the constant rain and waterlogged soils we often see 8 months a year. It is my hope that, through these articles, FAQs, and other resources, I can help you to grow your edible plants more successfully.
