Seeds have been ordered. Moringa Oleifera Seeds. PKM1 PKM2 ODC3

Well, today's a pretty big day.

We've got seeds coming, which is phenomenal. I've been looking for decent seeds and in Australia, that's pretty hard to find. There's a bunch of old stock that doesn't really produce the way that I'd want. They're fine for a free in the backyard, but not commercially.

We were looking at the PMK1 and PKM2 hybrid seeds and bringing them in from India. Importing any type of seeds to Australia is tricky most of the time, but they also don't perform as well as the newest of the hybrids, the ODC3. That is pretty much on a limited supply from India only, and we've got the first about 2,000 seeds coming in now. Hopefully, in about a month's time we'll be able to report that the seeds have landed and that will be just nicely at the beginning of our winter, which is the wrong time to be planting ant seeds but I'll get a few going undercover and indoors and get them underway, get a bit of a jump on the beginning of the next season we should have a few little saplings started soon.

The reason for choosing the ODC3s is that they're pretty much the best available at the moment for commercial production. They don't grow as big and lanky and tall as the other Moringa varieties, but because they bush out a lot more at a lower level they tend to give a much better production of leaves (for drying and powder). The concentration of minerals and nutrients in them tends to be a little bit more so you get a better quality crop, which is better again, and the seed pods are ridiculously long and they've got a lot of seeds in each pod and you tend to get more seed pods per tree than with other hybrids, which again works phenomenally.

These are not genetically modified, just hybridized over time through selective growing so we've still got a fully organic, fully original Moringa, but pretty much the best Moringa available at the moment to plant, and that is going to give the best yields.

That's exciting stuff.

Once they arrive we'll be able to start playing with those and we'll be able to see if we're able to get a viable yield out of them, but I'm confident, really confident that the ODCs are going to do well.

That will take about another month, month and a half. So, what's it now? End of April. End of May, beginning June we should be able to report that the seeds have arrived, and 3 weeks later we should have little seedlings. That's two months off.

Which is exciting.
Anyway, that's the update. Chio.
