This post is dedicated to my dear family that all love to have something growing, whether it be in the window, on the porch, down in some remote corner of the yard, be it a volunteer tomato, a transplanted wildflower from the side of the road, or a tree. So, bear with me as I show you a few of the things we've got growing around here.

| Moringa tree seedlings and a mango seedling |
| Our garden is taking shape. The small praire that our yard has become you can get a sense for on the far side of the garden. In some places it is shoulder high on me! |
| A volunteer squash that came up on the edge of our garden. It looks like it may be a butternut . |

| Here are some kale. This is the ubiquitous Sukuma Wiki of Kenya. Because everyone eats it around here, you find it being grown everywhere there is a small corner, along the road or next to the shop. |

It looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOoh--my passion fruit vine has a younger sister! I'm pretty sure her Kenyan sibling will soon surpass her.
ReplyDeleteI hope your purple beans do better than mine. They've gotten some sort of odd discoloration, and now the stinkbugs are eating them (along with everything else).
