not sure how i got on such a wide band width here... but please anyone  
who can offer me some ideas for the northwest in-land  Vancouver BC
I am looking for info on the permaculture garden options on the  
northwest coast... could anyone send me a list of the perennials that  
comprise such  a garden??
 I know the fruits, but legumes? roots? leafy? suggestions, just  
missed out on the two local classes for this season.  have a group of  
20-30 interested in the concept and could start this season, but don't  
know enough, have ordered a couple books, but won't get them and get  
them read in time to start anytime soon....
