I made it to Lilongwe. and boy was it a long way. There is a lovely garden in the back yard with a great big elevated water tank to go along with it. I didn’t see a working compost bin, so maybe that’s something that can be added. I did spy some chickens though, so hopefully we can get some fresh eggs.
According to some folks at the Kusamala permaculture organization most everything grows well in the capital. The rainy season (which is coming up) can get a bit tricky in terms of pests and too much water for tomatoes, squash, basil, and broccoli, but just about everything else should be fine.
