Being brought up the daughter and granddaughter of farming stock the farming in Tanzania was immensely interesting to Dr Anne.
On day one Dr Anne went with Babu and Mama Mosi to their own shamba. They had cultivated maize and sunflowers in 2012 and are set to expand. The 70 acres have been cleared.
Viewing the shamba.
As far as the eye can see.
Each trip out intrigued Dr Anne. The fertile valleys were planted with an amazing array of crops. Everything seemed to grow: potatoes, rice, maize, cassava, tomatoes, onions, peppers, chillies, carrots to name the ones seen. The fruit was to die for: mango, pineapple, bananas, papaya, lemons, limes, coconuts to name only a few. Ah ha... mango for breakfast... a whole mango to herself. Nuts: cashews hanging from the tree... mmm....
The terraces reminded Dr Anne of Madeira and Portugal.
The visit to the Uluguru Mountains was very special with planting on the side of mountains.
