The Moringa tree is growing faster than the mulberry tree. This one was not a risk. I was confident about cutting down the tree. I had to do it for two reasons. First, it was difficult for me to harvest all the fruits and leaves because the tree was 10-20 feet tall. Second, it was attracting iguanas, especially the young ones. And I hate them! They don't contribute anything. They are so destructive.

Finally, gingers are popping! It took them 15-17 days to appear. I'm sharing this in case you are looking for numbers. The weather has been between 65 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit, and it's getting warmer slowly. I guess because gingers are tropical, they want more heat.
