One thing I have discovered about Moringa trees is that they like to dry out between waterings. I think they are suseptible to root rot.
I lost a couple of small trees early on this summer because I started them in pots and I think they went into shock when I transplanted them into the yard. I currently have 8 of them that I planted this summer and they are doing well. I have been 'topping them' regularly to make them more bushy. I'm eating the leaves or drying them to use later.
Now I just hope they make it through the winter! Then I might actually get some flowers and seeds :) I'll be happy to share.
will need to be a little flexible as I never know how full my schedule is until I get to work in the morning. Usually Fridays end by 12-12:30. Do you have some flexibility in your schedule? If we can work it out I would love to do a trade. My # is 480-292-5971, I can't always answer my phone if I am with a Patient, but leave a message and I will call you back. I also have your number.

Peggy, your fermented Purslane was scrumptious, would you share the recipe?
Peggy, It was a fun evening!
Amazing food, games and conversation with people who respect the Earth and appreciate the goodies that Nature offers ... What a treat!
Tank you and I am looking forward to the next one. :-)
Thanks for finding me, Peggy! I'd definitely like to chat with you about fermenting produce; I'm eager to learn!
