Default Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?

Today we went up to the finca with the streams that our friend James bought, and took him some trees. His sheep had got loose and eaten all his moringa oliefera trees, so we took him the one we had pot grown (now nearly 6ft tall so we were glad to get rid of it), also some crape myrtle and pink grapefruit. Sorry mskitty that I didn't get back to you about the moringa, but apparently it comes from India and all parts of the tree are edible/useful - which is why the sheep liked it obviously. We put a chicken-wire cage around this one as there is no more seed left - it must need to be sown very fresh as the older seed (1 month) didn't germinate. Funny how different people have different capabilities - my neighbour is ace with seeds and especially herbs, whereas I am useless with herbs and so-so with seeds, but good with cuttings. haha! horses for courses I think!
