The food forest phase 2 continues to supply vegetables for the women and their children. We have been in a dry season and so a lot of new planting is currently happening as we just started reciving some rains. We have however been sprinkling using watering cans and splinkers. We have harvested over 30 pumpkins and a lot of thorn melons during the dry season. We have also been making food baskets made up of vegetables and herbs from our farm. We have had enough vegetables for the shelter, milk and eggs. We have been doing soil and water conservation through mulching and making sure that the water is used for atleatst three uses to save on it. Watering has been done by women three days in a week and with mulching we managed to retain some water in our soil and thus we still had enough vegetables despite being a very long dry season.
