my moringa garden
moringa trees have a lot of health benefits if you eat their leaves, pods, or roots. google them. they are amazing. i have a large moringa tree garden, but my trees are still babies, though they are shooting up quite rapidly this rainy season. i am having a bit of a problem with termites, but ill put those pictures up later bc im really tired and have to go back to the hut tomorrow. love to all of you!
