processing the dry Tulsi ( ayurvedic tea also known as holy basil )
wikipedia says

Monday, January 2, 2012

phil and yoshiro are directing the construction of the 6 sided garden playhouse in the centre of the yes!garden . it is built of found materials and the reject wood from local forestry .
phil at the front . Mighty Hoda-sans finesse on the digger .


paths designed to allow access for the little 660cc K-truck to come in and do a complete round of the house . stones have been layed around the perimeter and an earth floor will be put in soon .
the gardens in early winter of their first year . still beautiful .
the roofing is going on . nearly done .
