Hey Aishlinn! Do you have banana trees around you I wonder?
I have learned (here under this post) that the simplest solution to the fermentation problem is to boil it down a bit and create a syrup. In this way it will apparently stay good. So, am gonna give that a try and see how it goes...
And yes, we love our courtyard now. If it wasn't for this space we surely would have left already. But the main super cool thing is have I learned about fruit walls here and how effective they are at housing trees which are accustomed to warmer climates. Which is unquestionably useful knowledge for the future!
Sending love xxx :)
