Our Moringa story

Have you heard about Moringa?  It is often called the Miracle Tree. We have several in the Food Forest. Both needed to be propped up after a night of stormy weather. Apparently this has happened before so it did not come as a surprise. Since nothing goes to waste in the Food Forest, the Moringa leaves were collected and taken home for drying. Soon they will be ready to eat or drink for tea.

Wild wind and rain hits the Food Forest

We had one windy day that brought down several trees. Unfortunately the banana  tree with the weight of a large bunch of bananas couldn't withstand the wind. Nothing goes wasted in the food forest, though.

The fallen tree went back in the banana circle to provide nutrients for the remaining trees.

Growing lettuce in Earth Boxes - a success story

Earth boxes ready to grow

Bay Haven had a bumper crop of lettuce thanks to the help of students in the first and second grade s who prepared the boxes and planted lettuce and kale. The lettuce was harvested for consumption at the holiday dinner on December 15. We all got dizzy and wet that day form rinsing and spinning the lettuce.
