Manure


Our guide through 'survival in the village' Bashi took Bram to get manure, and gave us the recipe for good garden-muti. So the next morning around six Bram and two very excited dogs were busy mixing and applying muti.
Meanwhile Maud extended our vegetable-garden, after which the excitement of 'will the seeds pop up' starts. After just a few days the kouseband-beans Maud's mom gave us peeked. Our spinach-like vegetables followed soon, and now, on the sixth day, the chilli-seeds we took from Tears last April seem to unfold.


It's really like everyone says: 'Anything will grow in Botswana, as long as you water it.' Our Passionflower, Bougainville, Franchipane and Guava blossom, and our fabulous view up to Gaborone is full of trees that turn from greyish & brownish to green. Soon we won't be able to see Jeff's house anymore because the green wall in between is coming back to life. The good rains that arrived with us surely pay off!
