The mango got so huge I decided to take 1/3 off its height!

I also cut back the moringas, planted a few new trees and plants, gathered three yard waste bins on trash pickup day and dumped them in the yard and threw 6-4-6 fertilizer at the base of all the fruit trees.

The soil is really getting sandy again in most of the food forest. It’s been too long since a good chop and drop. Though this isn’t the ideal time to throw plant material on the ground since it’s not the rainy season, it was a good time to do some fruit tree pruning, so I went ahead and mulched out of season. I think everything is going to look great when the summer rains come. And I hope the cocoa I planted lives!
