Today, Elizabeth goes with some friends to a nearby market that specializes in items from the Extreme North Region to look for the Moringa and Neem Tree seeds, so we can grow them on our patio! Below: a full-grown Neem Tree.

Looking for Seeds
A huge cultural difference here from the Midwest, North America is that vegetation grows here year-round, which is why we saw in France bananas from Cameroon sold in the supermarket throughout the entire year. Nevertheless, there still are peak seasons for harvesting of certain plants, when their production particularly increases, which in turn reduces their market prices (law of supply and demand!).

We greatly enjoy following your blog! It's fun to watch you settle in through you regular posts. You'll be interested to know that we're sort of walking in your footsteps. Mid-July we moved from NC to TX to take classes at GIAL. We've begun attending MacArthur Blvd Baptist Church and even your old Sunday School class with Chris Barnes. We're also with Wycliffe and have taken assignment in Cameroon, but we're headed to French school in Chambery next year. Wild, isn't it?! Plus, I think we even have mutual friends at Bethlehem.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, all the best with growing trees!
Indeed, "Small world"! Say hello to the Barnes' for us!
