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.

[@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

[@Cherluv246]

Perseverance seldom fails. Keep going Jael.

[@jaelofthevillage]

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

[@trukenyan]

Well said!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@Pa-MushaRuralLiving]

Thanks for taking us round your homestead Jael. Always motivated, I learn a lot from you and hope one day I will be able to share my journey too. Loving the veg garden, palms, chickens and sheep. Cant wait for your next upload❤

[@tfl4963]

Great job Jael. Good progress so far and gradually your Beautiful home will be complete. 🙏💯.

[@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.

[@hairshorts6630]

I always love watching your videos,thanks for the upload. Glad to see u feeling much better .

[@jaelofthevillage]

Thank you so much,darling. That homa was gross.

[@nomsamakoe3019]

Beautiful garden, loving the trees and your space is stunning. I am definetely learning alot from you Jael. THANK YOU.

[@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.

[@ericasare2111]

Enjoyed this video so much. Well done. You are an inspiration to me. Your hard work will not go unrewarded. Keep it up

[@jaelofthevillage]

Thank you,Eric

[@trukenyan]

It is apparent that you are authentic to your pursuits! Keep on keeping on!

[@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.

[@jaelofthevillage]

Thank you, darling. Congratulations on your project as well

[@60pluslife]

You are really hard working, God rewards hard work, and remember that always 🙏🏾

[@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!

[@Soton-E]

Congratulations 🙏🏽 Hard work and never saying never is the stuff of strong characters…. Well done you 👏🏽

Thank you,Benny

[@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

So relatable...love you content your style of filming and story telling is so addictive ❤

Thanks Jael for the tou, looking amazing.

[@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.

[@TheEGA4421]

Being able to grow your own sugar cane is great. This type of sugar is better than what is sold in stores. You use less and get the same results. If you are able to grow more maybe you can grow enough to sell. Your yard looks wonderful. I have not had paw paw fruit in years. Best wishes. 😊

[@elizajacob1]

Okra leaves too are vegetables, you can mix them with pumpkin leaves or beans leaves and enjoy🎉😅 .hugs.
