Surviving on $0 budget in the Country-side in JAMAICA

[@Brahanassei]

I know exactly why you mean, I grew up in real rural st Elizabeth cockpit country and we plant everything we eat , except flour, rice ,we use no electricity, we have not much money we donated lot of farming and we were happy people.

[@normanfl6592]

Jamaica is such a blessed country,but we take it for granted,until we go to these so called first world countries,we quickly realize that simple life style is less stressful and enjoyable.❤️❤️❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@shareesimpson7505]

Loved this vlog, I'm in Jamaica and visiting family in Manchester, love country living. My cousin and I planted 2 breadfruit trees 2 days ago❤

[@empressmalaya]

It's so funny here in South Florida, there are sea grapes all along the seacoast and ackee trees growing in ppl yards, and Nobody even knows they're edible! We saw a giant ackee tree in a yard & all the ackee was on the ground. We asked if we could pick some, and the man was looking at us like we were crazy! Also, there are coconut trees in almost every neighborhood, and Nobody use them. They literally pay a company to remove the coconuts! So crazy

[@kwacou4279]

Jamaicans brought the ackees to So. Florida yrs ago. In general, the ackees in Florida don't taste as good as the ones in Jamaica.

[@empressmalaya]

@kwacou4279 I'm glad they did bring it! Plenty of free ackee here. I haven't noticed a difference in the taste, but I heard ackee is illegal here bc they say it's poison. But they sell it in tins at the grocery shop.

[@angelapalmer3542]

Welcome back to the Jamaican blog 😊

[@outofmanyweareone6429]

Rochielin and family we miss you so much, you do it the best🍾🎊🎆happy new year🎉🎉

[@Rochielin]

Happy New Year to you too, and thanks for the love! ❤️

[@jenf9272]

Great Portland countryside video Roshi...That's our beautiful Jamaica!..we caaa hungry at all! 😆😆

[@gabzwilson2750]

I love it! A my Parish this. It’s so blessed. Free food everywhere. Sean please walk behind your family next time. I know there is a lot of excitement but anything can happen. My husband refuses to walk ahead of me and I always protest that I’m fine. We are a young couple also and we always walk side by side or him behind me allowing him to protect me. Seeing Roch walking those steep slopes with the baby strapped to her made me understand his perspective. Looking forward to all the videos. Enjoy yourselves!! And stay safe

[@empressmalaya]

Wowww.. do you know if the house is for sale? I have been looking for a place in Portland. This yard looks lovely. I'm so glad to see you back on the rock!

[@lifeatthepetalplaceproperty]

In Montego Bay, we call them Sea grapes. I ate a lot when I was smaller, because they are usually very common on the beaches.

[@Rochielin]

Oooo.. ok thanks for telling me

[@RaineLoves7883]

I love and miss back home haven't been back since 2016. Should be visiting this year life spear can't wait 😊 listen to baby trying to tell you lend him the mic so he can say something lol I know it as Starfruit and Sea Grapes (mainly grows by the seaside)

[@noreenlittle8428]

Can't wait to visit Portland love the vlog and it's getting me more homesick. Hoping to retire and relocate

[@maried2089]

[@dennismalcolm6620]

I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY AND BOUNTY OF OUR COUNTRY!!!!...YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE UNTIL YOU TRAVEL ABROAD....😮😅...I HOPE THAT YOU WILL SPEND MORE OF YOUR TIME IN JAMAICA 🎉🎉...CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW BABY 👶 ❤❤❤..

[@Ilenerena]

The difference in US is you really have to plant your own fruit bearing trees and nut bearing trees. I’m in NC and we practically have turned into local farmers. We got peach Trees grape vines fig trees apple trees pecan chestnuts PERSIMMONS but they only produce summer and spring or early fall months. We plant heirloom tomatoes and okra potatoes pumpkins every summer and preserve food in jars for winter

[@ABenjamiteSis]

The Grape also grows along the seashore. It’s delicious.

[@angellafraser638]

I love country life bad Roch

[@thereselewis6219]

Happy New Year Rochielin, watching beautiful sharing ❤️😄🎉

[@kirkmark3323]

I'm from Trinidad and Tobago and we call the fruit five fingers yes I have seen the grape and it is sea grape...

[@msblkbutrfly5177]

We call it Star Fruit or Carambola here in the Virgin Islands. I want to visit JA one day ....Happy New Year to you guys!🎉 S/N...Caribbean or Sea Grapes are the best!

[@DeeK.M]

As much as takeout food costs in 🇯🇲 I'm surprised more ppl not cooking more! You have so much natural food, in your backyard.

[@maxinegarrison5174]

Love to see back home you are one of my favourite Jamaican social media creators love you please bring back let go have a happy new year to you and your family ❤

[@bequetta]

I sure wish our trees in America all grew fruit, I would love to be able to walk up to any tree and eat the fruit just like in the Garden of Eden, I’m sure that’s how God meant for it to be❤️

[@empressmalaya]

There used to be fruit trees like apples etc, but the govt decided to only plant male trees so that ppl couldn't eat it for free. And that's why there's so much pollen.

[@goshen7334]

These heathens do that purposely. They want us to depend on them for all things while they poison the food they give us. That is why you won’t find fruit trees there. These people are the cancers of the earth. I have land in the country in the US and still no fruit trees just growing unless you plant them yourself.

[@Isis31]

Yesss❣ I have been waiting on this vlog❣ -🇯🇲

[@masterix6]

Young Lady, thank you for bringing me the lighter side of Jamaica. It is a refreshing change to worrying about what I might be faced with upon my return back home which I am planning for the possible next 2 months... I just want to relax in St. Mary and my fathers house in Meadowbrook. Canada is very depressing but so is the possibility of facing violence on my return and badmind demonic people

[@Chrissy_T85]

Hello Rochielin!!! I love your content!!!!. I hope to visit Jamaica!!! You are so right about certain parts of the states that have trees that don't bear any fruit..smh!!! Keep making these amazing videos!❤

[@angellafraser638]

So happy to see Roch and Shawn in Jamaica

[@empressmalaya]

Another crazy thing, the Elephant Ears plant Is the same thing as dasheen. But ppl in the US don't know, and they just plant it for decoration.

[@JodieTharkur]

Thank you for showing me inside Portmore. I have never seen it before

[@DOSKrissy712]

Hey Rochielin. Love Jamaica video updates. My husband said the fruit that the rasta man showed you is not green Grapes. It is called Beach berries, you find them growing on beach or any tropical area. We also have them where we are in Florida.

[@Ilenerena]

I just love your trip home and thanks for sharing!

[@doreenpowel1971]

Hi Rochilen its star fruit so good to see you in Jamaica with your family bigup yourself ❤❤

[@Rochielin]

[@ppalmer556]

Those are sea grapes 🍇. When they are ripe, the colour changed to purple and they are sweet .

[@khadinesterling5259]

Rochielin, I love this trip for you🤗

[@taneishawilson8995]

[@sharleengumbs9262]

Good to see you and the familly Rochelin. It is a grape found in many Caribbean Countries. It is purple when ripe. A very nice fruit that is picked and eaten at any time once available. Some persons make wine feom them.

[@ItalYogi_LiveLove]

Beautiful Portland.

[@andrealyseight7158]

Regular jimbilin is a very small fruit

[@ophalwright1219]

We call it sea grapes. They mostly grow in areas by the beach.❤❤

[@zndrsmith]

Rochielin those grapes he is calling Jamaican grapes are actually sea grapes. They grow quite good near beaches and are plentiful in the Negril seasides or beaches. As to the other grapes he is calling American grapes, I know what he meant as he is trying to differentiate the sea grapes from what we traditionally know as grapes but there are a vide variety of these, non really called American grapes. I used to grow them in my backyard in Portmore and got good harvest from them. They are also grown all over Jamaica but not in very large plantations except some years ago in St. Thomas. Many are supplied to hotels and are not sold in regular markets as the quantities are still insufficient.

[@JodieTharkur]

Those grapes are plenty in Westmoreland Negril

[@deniseprendergast5393]

Blessings Roch. U boost up virus. Nice country living🎉😂❤ virus naw drop cause him naw climb😂😂😂🎉 u got a workout n work up an appitite😂 for food🎉❤. Nuff breadfruit begging 3😂😂

They are called sea grapes in the bahamas,because the trees are mostly found on the seashore they can also found in people yards because they were planted there by the owners of the yard.
