I slept around twelve and woke up after barely five hours of sleep, still got to do with my constipation problem. Had my breakfast of the soup I made last night, then a couple of hours I exercise again.
While setting the fan for my mom's laundry time when I noticed the moringa tree's last big stalk was swinging near neighbor's home. If this was to break from an incoming typhoon it will go down there causing trouble. So, this evening I had to removed it, even it nearly broke my okra and the other moringa plant.
So, tonight I had the biggest harvest in a while. Took three containers to put all these leaves. Trouble is that my blender is kinda broke, I will try to fix it and use it to make a smoothie.
I miss making a smoothie, it's not even cold, usually I make a warm one with a yogurt.

The main trunk cut could always be re stabbed back to the ground to form new sprouting leaves or become a new tree, these plants are very resilient.

Yeah, but the reason why I didn't want to cut was because I was waiting for it to grow pods since my aunts love the pods. But it didn't grew after four months of wait, looks like I have to wait and let them grow big until december to january next year @louievill This time i will pick the pods and let them dry to be planted again, I've never been successful growing them from stalk.

That's a lot of moringa leaves!
Anyway, I think you saved yourself some future trouble by cutting it down this early. You still have one moringa tree so it ain't that bad.

Interesting. I don't know what a moringa is. That is good you got the tree stalk down. You're right, it would cause trouble. We have tree accidents quite a bit in our town during wind storms if people don't keep up with their trimming.
I hope you can get a new blender or get that one fixed soon.

How come so many people don't know moringa, that's so freaking odd. maybe it had a different name or no one mentioned it to you from the people you know or encounter. I guess I didn't know it myself how good it was for almost 30 years until this year alone 
and to think i was about to have this permanently cut down
