Saw one of the neighbors come pick them up with his livestock trailer, so no more loose sheep. I can let the poor border collie out and not have to worry about him trying to herd random sheep.
Well, it's a good thing I'm going to be putting up a fence around the garden today. These pretty Doper Hair Sheep decided that our shrubs and grass were better then the stuff they have at home. One was pretty new mom with a little itty-bitty lamb following her. We're unfortunately new to the area and don't have any of our neighbors phone numbers yet, we go to church with the guy who has the open range lease on our land but he only has cattle so I'm thinking these babies got out of their pasture. They also wouldn't let me close enough to see their tags.

Oh, I haven't but if I have time this year while they're in bloom I may try that! If not I'll definitely try it next year. I'm obsessed with trying the foods that grow natively around us. Thanks for sharing!
Another order going out today!

Yarrow is great with all things blood related, from stopping a cut from bleeding to stimulating blood throughout your body, basically have a blood issue use Yarrow for it. It's also good for colds and flus because it's an antiviral and a antimicrobial. These are just the main uses for Yarrow but it's great to keep some on hand, even if it's just to help the swelling from a bug bite, which I'm currently using it for.
Good job, mama! Get him into a trade early!
Being from a dry area on the west coast I didn't know until I started studying herbalism about ten years ago that there was white yarrow! Now I know there are several colors of yarrow.
Me too! At least we're weirdos in good company!
It's a rabbit hole everytime I click on a comment from an interesting post and find so many great people to follow!
Today while driving back from dropping off some tea orders to be shipped out tomorrow morning, I saw what I thought was Yarrow and it was! I was able to find one away from the roadside and am remembering where so I can come back and harvest some seeds to grow on our property since this is already naturalized to our area.

Just an FYI, that's from my husband who is a journeyman commercial/ industrial electrician. Obviously not me!
Assuming your panels have bypass diodes as most do, they bypass the under performing panel sections to prevent current from stopping.
The other concern is paralleling unequal panels in series. When paralleling they will match your lowest voltage. You said that other strings will be 6-9 panels if you can make them 6 panel strings and make more strings that can be placed with no shading then that would be best.
The lower voltage from the short string will have a higher impact on decreased current then the partial shading. If making more strings, then make sure the wire size from the combiner to the controller can handle the amps.
I actually do have a night time tea, it doesn't have Camomile but all the ingredients help with either falling asleep, staying asleep and quieting the brain. Plus all the herbs I use are organic since many herbs can be bioaccumulators.
I originally made it for my husband who has multiple sleep disorders, this was the only blend that actually helped him sleep as well as tasted good to him.
