Walnuts

Gathered a crop from one of my walnut trees

Guava

My Guava Tree is giving me two to three kilos per day at the moment.
I made some jam, then more jam, yesterday I made seven kilograms of it. That's enough. Fruits continue falling down - but I am not bothered: I have just joined local farmers and their "mañana" philosophy.

Bio Toilet

I wanted to present my Bio Toilet in the best possible way, but, here you have it:
There was Calima today - hot temperature, 35°C, with dust from Africa and strong wind - which brought down the structure, but, luckily, the functionality is not affected :)

Solar Electricity

At last my solar system is installed.
For those technically inclined, specs:
2 panels 230 Watts each @24 volts.
Average daily delivery 1500 W h (60 Amp h)
Battery bank 520Amphx24v=12.48kWh
Inverter 1,6 kW (cannot use any tools that need more power than that).
Shopping time! Need fridge/freezer, tools, appliances.
It is all so exciting!
