		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m happy to say we saw the big green iguana in our yard again. There are basically two types of iguanas around here &#8212; black and green. The black one&#8217;s are green when they are young though. So far, we have seen at least four different iguanas in the yard.

		<description><![CDATA[For the first few months we were living here we had a turtle in the yard. I like to deep-water the lemon tree, mango tree and bananas, so I often leave the water on, running at just a trickle. In the high-clay soil here that is often enough for the water to pond-up a little, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well I have been seriously neglecting this blog, haven&#8217;t I? No excuses.
In October and November we had a screened &#8216;porch&#8217; added on to the back of the casita. I&#8217;m not sure porch is the right word, since it isn&#8217;t raised off the ground. Really it&#8217;s more of a covered and screened sandbox. Kind of brings [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My biochar kiln doesn&#8217;t work correctly because the door does not seal tight, and too much air can get in, and smoke and gasses get out. To make charcoal or biochar, you need a fairly air-tight container, or the contents will just burn to ash.
For a fix, I decided to use the old trick traditional [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We now have three clumps of bananas. The biggest one, and the only one to flower so far, produces little apples. No, really, that&#8217;s what they call them. They are short, fat, sweet little bananas, and the local name in Spanish is manzanitas, which translates as little apples. But that is not what they make [...]]]></description>

The neighbors were curious of course, and asked what I was doing. &#8220;Building an iguana house&#8221; I told them. They shook their heads and walked away, not sure if [...]]]></description>

We bought the casita last December &#8212; at that time it had no indoor plumbing, just two small rooms. But we could see plenty of potential. We have added a large [...]]]></description>
