I am in the process of starting my nursery for Moringa. It is the middle of the rain season here in Zambia, and I wish to know from those who have done this before whether it is the right time or not. If it is okay, what method would be more appropriate?

You can directly plant moringa seeds in the field. I would not recommend starting a nursery in the rainy season because then the seedlings will be ready for transplanting at the end of the rainy season, or maybe in the dry season. How much time is left in the rainy season?

Only one and half months left before the end of the rain season and the seedlings in the nursery are about 15cm high. My plan is to transplant next week so that they will have approximately 40-50 days of rains.

Great idea. Just make sure that they do not get dried out right after you transplant them and they should be fine. Please let us know how it goes and send pictures if you can.
