I am sick and in bed all day trying not to let my thoughts go wild, and binging on your relaxing videos brings so much calm to my spirit 🙏🏾. Thanks

[@jaelofthevillage]

Oh,darling. Thank you so much. I wish you a speedy recovery. Sending lots of love and hugs.

I will. Thanks,Caroline

Perseverance seldom fails. Keep going Jael.

[@jaelofthevillage]

You're right, Cheryl. Thanks girl. One day these stages will be memories.

[@trukenyan]

Well said!

[@hoso2268]

This is beautiful and 1 acre is substantial for those of us who do not live in the rural area. Keep going Jael, easy, slow, and steady wins.

[@mercynjagi6899]

I think you really planned out your land so well ....the garden is coming along beautifully and the house will get done before you know it

[@yvevela7822]

Jael bonjour. I could't stop smiling while you were giving us a tour of your garden. You are doing good Jael. You are learning what can grow on Clay ground, that is so good.

[@jaelofthevillage]

Yes,dear. By experimenting with different plants, I've realised that most crops do just fine on this soil.

[@Sijkmon71]

Jael, I enjoyed your video and admire your determination and hard work you put into your garden and home. You are an inspiration for many single women and I love your garden and amazed by all the produce you can grow.

[@EmpressG]

07:50 Looks like one of the types of fan palms to me. 12:30 The hibiscus you speak of is called roselle. In my country we call it sorrel and use it to make a Christmas drink. It's de-seeded, boiled with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, (bay leaf if you feel like it) and once it's cooled it's sweetened. The traditional recipe also calls for a dash of red rum but you don't really taste the alcohol in it so children drink it as well. After it's strained off most people discard the flesh but my grandmother used to just put it back on the fire with sugar and boil it down to make jam. It's already infused with the flavours from the spices so no other additions are necessary. Thanks for the tour. It's great to see what a lot you are growing!

[@gmaallen3539]

I love that idea of taking the wall down and putting the rails, and wanting to put plants up there is going to be so beautiful. Love the trees, they bring me joy also. Thank you for sharing such beauty. That plant in the square looks like the Monstera Deliousa and in some areas it bring forth a fruit but they are amazing beautiful plants.

[@jaelofthevillage]

I love it. Someone commented that they love shaded areas. I hope I don't lose it.

[@chichimaimane8489]

Thanks so much Jael for encouraging me. I love your patience and hardwork. Continue to be a blessing. I am planning to start soon with chickens 😅😅😅

[@jaelofthevillage]

Oh, that's really nice. Collecting eggs is one of the greatest feelings in Homesteading.

[@EdnaGriffin-d5y]

Hi I love your videos you are a strong independent woman and reminds me of myself you are doing a great job to your property. I am learning a lot from your advice on growing your own food. Keep following your dream. ❤

[@jaelofthevillage]

Thank you so much, darling. I'm so glad you enjoy them. Sending lots of love.

[@lindakabogo1858]

Wow. I just got encouragement, okra and chillies. I always get inspiration. Keep winning Jael. You are doing fantastic. Congratulations on the chicken too. I love eggs.

[@mkmedia3006]

I love every progress on your property...yes it's not easy,but it's worthy your hardwork

[@Magnolia5]

Blessings Jael🥰 Everything is looking so wonderful! Your hard work is giving back to you. Wonderful the way you dug the trenches for draining the water from the yard. The homestead is coming together. Be encouraged my friend, your best is yet to come!!! Mungu akubariki 💜🥰🙏🏾

[@sambukasedenjourney]

In the Caribbean 🇹🇹 we use the taro leaves as you use pumpkin leaves in East Afrika.. We make bamia/okra soup with it, and often enjoy it with coucou (yellow corn ugali) and fresh fish (not dgaa). Can’t wait to get back to Afrika! 😢 Your videos give me encouragement to keep going! ❤

[@jaelofthevillage]

I've really grown to love, okra. I don't mind including it in my recipes. Yellow ugali is really sweet.

[@CecilyIreri-y9w]

Your property is beutiful, all the best as you continue with your project...Thanks so much for the advice of planting trees will be doing that as well in my property. Love from Swaziland

[@emmanuelgitau5986]

Great efforts there Jael. Those plants (hibiscus and the rest of the flowers)will do very well once you apply some manure on them. They are manure lovers.

[@jaelofthevillage]

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind.

[@janeokungu4915]

You are doing well Nyamin. Have not stopped watching you since i discovered your channel last year. Proud of you

Wonderful and congratulations Jael. Am also putting up my place just near you , Sondu and am so encouraged by your milestones. Am at the plastering stage as well, though my piece of land is smaller but I thank God for the grace so far. I look forward to meet you soon and share. God bless you.

[@roseokome1718]

My friend, I salute you for the gardening and great work!Keep it up👍 you are an inspiration

[@PC-zg3eo]

It seems as if it was yesterday that you were planting most of this stuff. The vegetation is going to offset the swampy conditions. The hibiscus is what we call sorrel in my home. In the US, I’ve seen is as Jamaican hibiscus. You can use it to make a drink. You boil water with ginger and seep the hibiscus in it overnight. Sweeten to taste, it’s delicious over ice. You can make pepper sauces too. Search for Trinidadian pepper sauce on KZbin. Trinidadians make awesome pepper sauces. I’m so happy for you!

[@jaelofthevillage]

Thank you. Learnt so much in one comment. Blessings

[@annenjogu2304]

Those are real fruits of your labour. The compound is coming up very well.

Thanks,darling. I wish you all the best

[@TheMillennialPlantDad]

Lovely video and love what you are doing in your property. The Monstera plant you placed in the fountain may not be the best choice because it is a climbing plant and will need support eventually, it’s also a shade plant and will burn when exposed to direct sun. Perhaps another flowering hibiscus may work instead or a palm ? Gardenias are always a great flowering option.

[@jaelofthevillage]

Oh really? Thank you so much. I will have to move it.

Awesome compound! The trees and flowers are just beautiful
