Busy, Busy Days

Today was spent cleaning up around the new house, we don't officially move in until the 1st, however the old owners have been gracious enough to let us get moving on things. For now we have decided there is sufficient fencing for the dogs, so we won't be building an enclosed area. Saves us time and of course money. See the capsicum on the left? When we arrived home I thought I would check out what was fruiting around the yard, some we will get to eat, others we wont, but there will be years ahead for the new garden to fruit:) The chillies are so copious I am having trouble trying to find homes for them! More drying to come I think, before we pack the dehydrator away for the move! The orange is fruiting too, I dont' think we will get any ripe ones though this time, it takes them a while to orange up and be ready for picking. The same with the pineapple guava. There is fruit all over this bush, the biggest I have seen them in the two years we have been here. The lemon has some fruit too, although they will be some time until ripe. It appears the buyers of our home will have a great variety of garden produce to choose from lol. Great news for those who live in our town. An environmetal Group has been started, with bulk purchasing power on solar panels, each one after rebate will only cost around $1800.00. I've asked to be added to the list of interested parties, they then send around a solar engineer free of charge to do an assessment on your home and let you know what you will need. This really is exciting news, can't wait to meet them and see what they think we will need! If we can supply all our own power needs and our water supply from the tanks I will be in heaven!

Exciting days ahead! Take care of you and yours:)
