Good to know you have property in Puerto Rico. For years seeing your videos, very educational and inspirational. You are not from PR and I am learning from my land. Thanks.

[@martinaparrrish5397]

Thanks John.Seeing your property brought back memories for me.When I was growing up my parents had a property similar to yours.There was my favourite place to go.

[@Mrs.JosephBrennenMoore]

Congratulations on getting your property! I’m happy for you, and it’s a very beautiful property. Blessings of abundance to you!

I love your videos. I wish I could help.

[@everydayanimalswithrainfor1315]

Those mini cucumbers are called cucamelon here in the states. I love them. Cool property!

[@k.w.7412]

I initially thought that too but what he’s showing looks different than a cucuamelon

[@everydayanimalswithrainfor1315]

Melothria pendula is native to the united states'. Melothria scabra is native to Mexico. We have both here in south Florida. Look slightly different.

[@k.w.7412]

@@everydayanimalswithrainfor1315 Interesting, good to know. Thanks!

[@JoseGarcia-ro3ur]

I’m from PR and it rained for over a month.

[@markshira7810]

[@Jegsunelekwev]

It’s been raining alot lately so May be good to get someone to cut every month

[@Mooni702]

Thanks for your education video about edible vegetable, and fruits 🍎 🌿🪴

[@donaldjhill]

Put me on your list to buy your first export coconut

[@bengtal]

You mention your friend kailash(esh? Sorry i dont kbow how to spell his name correctly) very close to the word coconut or coco-pup while discussing conuts. I notice this because the only other time I heard his name was at a festival in Oregon with this artist named KAILASH COCOPELE (or maybe "koko" with Ks, but similarly similar)

[@marcuswelby921]

Do you plan to plant any mangoes or avocado plants on your property???

[@mamtajaya6457]

That coconut will be fine with the bananas

[@quinta_finca]

i cant suggest sweet poatatos as ground cover xD it will get you rats into the plot over time.... if you do organic natural gardening they will come at one point

[@alphaomega8373]

Take care bitterness is natures warning not to eat.

[@quinta_finca]

String trim, i Hope not the plastic ones :´D spreading micro plastic around whole nature isnt cool
