Malunggay Farm Developments - Moringa Flower

Surprising developments on our malunggay farm indeed! Due to the recent dry spell, I was impressed when I passed by one morning to find out that the moringa trees blossomed and produced fruits! Yes, I was moved that much because these moringa plants mean a lot to us.

Thanks for your visit!

Moringa flowers can be harvested after the 8th month of propagation. The tender flowers are better, of best choice. The flowers can be taken as tea. The flowers can also be fried and added to soup or scrambled eggs. Yes, we've tried a recipe and they have a taste similar to mushrooms with a hint of nutty flavor. From the moringa flower you can obtain both potassium and calcium.

Malunggay Propagation - Malunggay Pods

It has been a long while since I spent some time here at the malunggay farm. I was busy with the household chores at home and the usual online things I work on.

The trees did not need that much caring these days, so I opted to just attend to usual daily stuff more than visiting the place. As you may see, these malunggay trees were left to their own devices. Not even an ounce of water except maybe from what they get from the morning dew. Yet, to my amazement, the dry season lately made them produce more flowers and more pods!

Malunggay Farm Update November

Just the picture that welcomed me back, after I summoned the courage to visit the field again in November 16. After much research from the farming forums, I went back with all organic sprays and tools to remedy the yellowing of the leaves.

Not much problem anymore since the yellowing has stopped since we've treated them initially with sulfate. What gives me a headache, you might guess, is the weeds that have grown all over the place due to neglect and lack of time when my hubby was busy assisting a family friend during the baranggay elections. Actually, that picture above reads "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Ha-ha! Indeed it's true! I could not imagine how I can get these things done, yet we'll be almost done - fingers crossed and hoping there won't be any rain during the afternoon.

Malunggay Farm After Typhoon Juan October 18-19

3 days after Typhoon Juan I visited the malunggay farm. It seems I lost the key to the gate by my niece's house so I passed by the open fence. I'm glad that somehow these trees survived the storm and the minimal flooding of rainwater - most of them at least.

Yet, as seen below, there are some signs of yellowing from the other trees which could have come from too much rain or slight damage from the winds.

According to what I researched and asked around, yellowing is caused by some plant pests. Thankfully, that is taken cared of already thru organic remedies.

The trees are no longer in a straight row, due to the winds. We cannot move them to straighten as they still need to recover.
