A friend of mine has some 10 acres in Namanga that is currently lying Idle. Wondering what would be grown in the mean-time before any major developments are done on the land. The Maasai who inhabit the area are generally pastoralists so cannot borrow a leaf from them.

Advice please
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.... Leo Buscaglia

@Swenani, How would you advice the land be put to use before any serious development is put up?
