@Cyprus Here is our Moringa tree that we are growing in a pot. We currently have it in the greenhouse for the summer. Sorry about the glare in the background, I hope you can see it ok. I'm not good at taking pics!
It's not very big yet, mom started it just last winter.

I'm not sure if you know this already, but it also makes a fantastic feed for livestock...
You could do an intensive planting with them and do a 3 month harvest. That is my plan...

4 plots that are 4x4. Each plot planted with 100-120 seeds harvested at 3 months from sprouting. Doing successive planting would keep you in stock with lots of feed for most of the year. The ducks love it...

It's realistic too. Those numbers are scaled down from commercial moringa intensive planting which is 1.2 million trees per hectare (2.47 acres).

I accidentally snapped some pics of the ducks while I was out taking pics of the Moringa tree!
Oops, it happened again!
Here they are. They're growing up sooo fast!

Thanks for letting me know, I didn't know about that!

@Trimurtisan can I get those seeds from you in the spring? I'm moving out in just over a week so can't tend to them right now

Yeah, that's not a problem. Just ask whenever you're ready for them.

I love it when people have no business knowing why/what I was pming someone... but yet they "MUST KNOW" You know who you are... PS: It bothers the living heck out of me.

Rant over.

That's why I've got so many animals!
