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.

"You're welcome. I plan to bring more soon.
You're right, we need to spread the word; I posted it on Facebook.
Thanks to everyone who worked on this project!"
"Thanks, that was very helpful! I will let you know how it turns out.
Last year, besides beet kvass, I fermented only veggies. Since I didn't have much growing this summer besides sweet potatoes, herbs and peppers, I will be experimenting with…"
"Thanks for posting this, I've been wanting to do this and now that I'm getting prickly pears today, it's perfect timing.
Q: How much grains did you use for 1 qt? How much PP juice would you put in?"
"I'm so glad you came and enjoyed the activities, the food and the conversation.
And I'm glad you liked the purslane, however it was the only dish that wasn't fermented. All I did was to put raw purslane in some pickle juice and let it sit in the…"

Hi Peggy, good to meet you yesterday on the silly mtn walk, very enjoyable and informative. Your photos are great!

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!
