Settling In

We are settling in to the new house.  Each day we move another load or two out of the fifth wheel.  Most RVer's do not have an RV packed as full as ours and we are amazed at how much we did have in here.  Yes Tom, you were right.  There I said it.
I have also started some plants in the lanai.  A little pot of lettuce, chard and spinach for salads.
 
This is the view from the lanai looking out at the back yard. Yesterday I juiced a few of the oranges from the tree.  Some where deliciously sweet and some were unbelievably tart.  I will need to do some investigating to find out what that is all about.
The citrus trees are starting to bloom here and the smell from this Meyer Lemon is amazing.
Our first major add to the garden is going to be a lemon tree.  I have finished two of the gardening books that I loaded to my Nook.  One dealt specifically with herbs and was quite good.  The other dealt with soil health and it was good but a little dry.  Total books for this year is nine and that's not bad considering it's the fifteenth of the month.
