Gardening is like cooking. To improve, you need to be willing to make mistakes and experiment. Also, common names are garbage. Zone 9b, West Sac, CA.

I counted fourteen drumsticks, each over a foot long. (The one in the foreground is as long as my elbow to the tip of my pinky finger. I'm 5'10".) In other news, I found out today that I was hired for a supervisor position in a new company. Hooray! 4Aug2021 #moringa #droughttolerant

Currently around 12' tall. Hoping she and the other planted tropicals will survive the winter. (Camphor tree in background.)

My sister meant to send a colander to help me save time while stripping #moringa leaves from the fronds but somebody messed up and instead I got this religious headdress. #pastafarian

I just made and ate a large serving of a ginormous salad with maybe 20 ingredients, including fresh #moringa leaves from the garden. In the Philippines (where it is known as #malunggay), eating the nutrient-dense #leaves is a standard recommendation for mothers who need to encourage their breastmilk production. (This probably explains the odd, tingling sensation in my chest.) 10July2020 #gyo #foliagefriday
