[@MajesteDeFrance-lg3zv]

My God your home is beautiful inside and out. I love the white tile floors, the huge windows and how it captures the Sunlight making your home a glowing beauty. The landscape outside with the exotic plants is gorgeous. Keep enjoying life because that's what we're here to do. Your videos are inspiring to others.

[@jaelochanji]

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad to be a source of inspiration to many.

[@explorerman]

Yes, it's Wonderful... 😊

[@florenceojowa7706]

I am sorry about your daughter’s illness. Wishing her speedy recovery.

[@jaelochanji]

Thank you, Florence. She's now okay

[@Magnolia5]

Greetings Jael💜Your plants are loving on you because of the loving care you give them! They look so healthy and pretty. The homestead is coming along wonderfully! Thank you for continually sharing your progress with us. Abundant blessings and favor to you 💜🥰🌸🫶🏾🌹🙏🏾🙋🏾‍♀️

[@jaelochanji]

Blessings to you, darling. Every milestone is quite exciting. ❤️ ❤️

[@letsgrowandprosper6562]

Hi Jael, great update! I love your videos but your new home progress gets me soo excited i guess because it shows how one goes about starting a new homestead. Sending love and warm wishes to your daughter and wishing her a quick recovery. I wonder if the dry grass could be used to mulch the cassava to contain the weeds? Go girl!

[@jaelochanji]

Oh sure. I should try mulching the cassava. Thanks darling. Lots of love

[@florenceojowa7706]

You really do have green fingers. Your plants look really good and healthy too. Keep up the good work, sis.

[@jaelochanji]

Thank you so much. I'll do my best

[@mimi-pb5gn]

Beautiful home and garden. Heavily mulch with wood chips or a black polyurethane plastic by rolling it on top of the grass & reinforce it so the wind doesn’t blow it off it kills off the weeds naturally

[@jaelochanji]

Thank you for this tip. I put a heap of grass at some spot in the yard,when I removed it after some weeks, the area was bare.

[@ManoeuveringMidlife]

I know someone who planted coconut tree seedlings in Nyeri 😅 so keep experimenting! If only I had just an ounce of your energy and talent to make use of the countryside that surrounds me... I don't have green fingers but I admire your work and commitment

[@jaelochanji]

🤣🤣🤣if the coconut tree doesn't fruit,at least they'll be a tree. We don't quit. Thanks, darling

[@ladysafari01]

My mom just planted 4 last year in Kericho too..she's one that experiments on everything 😅

[@jaelochanji]

Thank you so much 🤗. Lexi has fully recovered

[@gmaallen3539]

Always a blessing to see your videos, your work is paying off because of your patience and expectations are in humbleness. You are such an inspiration.

[@jaelochanji]

Thank you so much.

[@franciam]

I truly enjoy your posts, Jael. They are peaceful and your home is beautiful. I like when you garden and cook your stews because I see the similarities of me being a part of the African diaspora and Motherland recipes. It is comforting to see them. Please keep it up and don’t listen to people saying your land wasn’t capable of producing. Obviously, that’s not the case. The bounty is quite clear. Good luck with your new plants!

[@jaelochanji]

Thank you so much,darling

[@missinjairu1448]

Ooooh honey❤️. Always therapeutic watching your videos. Sending you so much love.

[@jaelochanji]

Thanks, Val. 🥰🥰🥰

[@jww1302]

​@jaelochanji try and plant lemon grass and marigolds flowers they will keep away the snakes

[@olydnk5270]

One of the solutions for your soils is to make ridges or raised beds like you said. Make water channels as well so that in terms of too much rain, the excess is channeled away.

[@jaelochanji]

Sure,thanks,darling

[@lynlassiter5033]

In one WORD, BEAUTIFUL👏🏾

Praying your daughter is well soon. Ty for taking time to share your home with us. Be blessed.

[@jaelochanji]

You are so welcome. Lexi is okay

[@mariedyde448]

You can cover the soil between your plants with cardboard or newspaper or even old carpet to starve out the weeds and grass. In the UK we sometimes use a " no dig" method. You might fi d it interesti g to search it on YT.

[@jaelochanji]

Thanks for this Marie. I realised when I heavily mulch the garden, the weeds don't grow. I will try the cardboard.

[@johneasley8691]

Congratulations on getting your house finished and ready to move in. It looks great

[@MrsCavoo]

Your hands are blessed dear, and your land is blessed too that's why everything you plant is growing. I pray Lexi is doing well. I love how your home is coming up.
