Moringa Tree Survives Winter Outdoors  ☃

Just a quick look at my little vegetable garden, and my discoveries there.

I was happy to find that both 'Beauregard' sweet potato vines and Moringa oleifera trees are sufficiently cold resistant to survive outdoors in winter; here in the Lachlan Valley. I thought they had both been burnt to death by the cold and frost; but, happily, they emerged again in spring. Of course, if they were heavily mulched, these plants would withstand the cold even more successfully.

The tender young sweet potato leaves are a nice salad green. Moringa leaves are nice in salads and omelets, too.

The currant tomatoes (Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium) came up from the odd dropped fruit from last season. The berries have a good strong flavour. Very tasty and full of tang. Far better than shop bought tomatoes.
