My First Video Message

Hi all,

today I made my first video message for the pre-selection process, it should be on YouTube very soon. Thanks to my sister, Christine, for filming. I'll post a link ASAP.

It was a great weekend, the weather was fantastic and this is helping my garden continue to grow. Looks like I will have a bumper crop of mandarines this year. My cherry tree, apples, pears, nectarine, almond are all starting to close down for winter with leaves turning and falling off (good compost and mulch!). My lemon and lime trees are still doing OK, but I've been a bit neglectful of my macadamia tree (not enough time in the day).

While I'm on the subject of gardens, if we all grew our own fruit and veggies we'd decrease our food miles significantly. If I can do it anyone can.

Act locally, think globally!
