Planted squash in-between the rows of perennials in the food forest

I decided today was the day to put the squash seeds in the ground even though the bed has been prepared for a while. It rained the day before and is due to rain for the next few days which should create good conditions for germination. Last year, the squash crop didn't really turn out but the year before last was an excellent crop. Planted butternut, spaghetti and a new on we haven't grown yet, called patti pan. There should be just enough time left in the growing season here for the squash crop to mature. Fingers crossed, we are swimming in squash come fall.

Finally found some time to prep this garden bed in the food forest to plant some squash.

Put a layer of composted horse manure (turned by our chickens), raked it out even, then broad forked it in.

How many permaculture principles are utilized by planting annuals in between the rows of perennials planted on contour with swales?
