Wonderful u need to renovate the house and make the farm a museum where people can visit plus don't neglect it

[@jaunbonaysmith]

LOVELY❤❤❤ I think u should upgrade this building as a Museum where visitors can visit & also get those photos increase & put in frames on the wall & get a Big picture of the 1st apple tree❤❤❤🇯🇲🙏

[@judithmwiinga5561]

Yes good idea.

[@ptah_wanjohi]

I am from this place too and this is so nostalgic. I have visited this home many times and Dad showed me all those pictures and i have signed the guests book too. 😆 Your mum and my mum are best of friends since i can remember. Story for another day. God is faithful watu hutoka mbali.

This was a blessed beginning Kate. God knew it was going far. We are blessed because you are blessed

[@balancedviewpoint7418]

When your Dad talks about colonial masters buyers of his fruits, my mind took me to 60s or early 70s but then again you say you are his first born and the way you look young (in your late 30s or early 40s!!!". Today you have answered curiosity with great thanks Kate. Keep up the good work.

This video strikes a cord in my heart. Thank you for the tour. My journey was incomplete without it. I really do appreciate the work of Papa Wambugu. And the impact his work has made upon his family's life and thousands and millions in years to come. From your farm to mine in Grenada 🇬🇩

[@positiveprotons3743]

great work sister

[@akokorapiaw6855]

I like this episode.

[@positiveprotons3743]

Once again thanks a million for the insight into the product and the history of the Wambugu apple Kate. The journey profound indeed...when we meet in person i will tell you of how it correlates to my journey... Oh just a little heads up those white things on the trees are Lichens.. They are common on our citrus trees in Belize and is usually an indication of the tree needing more than usually fertilizing, the tree getting older and not shedding its outer layer as quick (just like our skin the trees shed a thin layer as bark). Also having grass and weeds growing under the tree makes it ideal for this lichen and others to grow on older trees.. Hope this info helps...

[@positiveprotons3743]

Other issues that could cause this are; 1.Insufficient water- check your watering or soil moisture. 2. Unsatisfactory soil pH- I suggest having the soil test run, and lime or acidify your soil. 3. Lousy soil- Sandy lands and the soil lacks nutrients. Increasing your mulching heavily under your tree canopy could help. This enriching process will help your soil hold onto the fertilizer and water you do apply much better. 4. Lack of Sun- Fruit trees planted in shady sites will lead to weak slow growing trees so just imagine what it does to older trees which growth rate decreases. This moss is harmless but of you want to kill the moss the non organic route is Cooper liquid spray or just gently rub it off if Organic is the path you want to stay on... Hope this helps as stated above.

Nothing like broken English here....Kate is a real good teacher,her explanations are top notch,infact not many can match it ....keep going Kate

[@margaretwangui8951]

I love her more when she talk in her native language. We should appreciate her for the good work she is doing. Kate dont be ashamed even if the English is broken. Mind you Chinese we are giving tenders worthy billions cannot utter a word in English. They are proud of their language. Kate wī kuo mūno.

[@samssam4034]

The English is not what putting the food on the table... it's the mindset. The good English we doesn't give us nothing but only enslaved our minds. She can speak her language that's more important than the English...

Those things are called LICHENS, a combination of fungus and algae

[@nikolaambergris9375]

Flying colours to the Wambugu family. Please, do TRIM and Prune OFF ALL the OLDER branches. At the Trimmed and Pruned SURFACES, do brush on them, a bit of ORGANIC oil. That will breathe NEW LIFE to the trees. New branches will surface. PLEASE, Please, at the beginning of JULY 2024, right AT THIS VIDEO, do inform us, by way of a COMMENT, of your observation of ANY progress of the trimmed and pruned trees, if any. IF NEED BE, will then give you action steps, of how to tap into the natural ENERGY-FIELD, of the trees. Our Ancients knew, it is just obscured from us. May God, the Creator, bless ever more.
