Planting Saba Bananas: A Delightfully Thick Adventure!

January 15, 2025January 15, 2025 by admin

Welcome to the world of Saba bananas, where the bananas are short, thick, and about as versatile as a Swiss Army knife at a picnic! These delightful little fruits are not just a treat for your taste buds; they’re also the ultimate multitaskers in your garden.

Why Saba Bananas?

Animal Feed Extraordinaire: Got some hungry critters? Saba bananas are here to save the day! Toss them a few of these thick delights, and watch them munch away like they just hit the jackpot. Who knew being a farmer could feel like hosting a banana buffet for the animals?
Market Marvels: Got a surplus? No problem! Saba bananas have a knack for making friends at the market. They may not win any beauty contests, but they sure know how to charm customers with their deliciousness.
Shade Saviors for Coffee Trees: And let’s not forget our beloved coffee trees! Saba bananas come with their own built-in umbrella service, providing shade that’s just perfect for those little caffeinated wonders. Who doesn’t love a good cup of coffee brewed under the watchful eyes of a banana?

The Bottom Line

In summary, planting Saba bananas isn’t just about enjoying a short, thick fruit; it’s about creating a mini-ecosystem where animals dine, markets thrive, and coffee trees bask in the shade. So, grab a shovel and get ready to dig into this banana bonanza! 🌱🍌

Now, if only they could help with my laundry… But that’s a blog post for another day!

Installing our 1,500 liter Water Storage Tank.

Hey there, friends! 🌟 We’ve been diving into an exciting project lately—building our very own filtration system! It’s been a labor of love, filled with hauling sand and gravel, gluing PVC pipes, and installing valves. Basically we have 3 filtration drums that clean our dirty water. The first is the Gravel Filter to let mud and silk sink to the bottom. The second is a sand filter to clear out small items and the minerals will clean it too. Then, in the third drum, we have charcoal to delete biological hazards. The water comes out clear.

Here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve been up to:

Hauling materials:
We gathered sand and gravel, which meant a lot of heavy lifting but totally worth it!
Gluing PVC pipes:
As we pieced everything together, we made sure our connections were solid.
Installing valves:
These will help us control the flow of water through our system, including overflow and draining, making it super efficient.
Washing the sand and peat gravel:
A clean filter is a happy filter! We took extra care to wash everything thoroughly.
Covering the barrels:
To keep pesky mosquitoes at bay, we covered our barrels with nets to secure the water.

We’re using three 200-liter drums for our filtration setup:

First drum: Filled with both small and large gravel for the initial filtration.
Second drum: This one’s our sand filter, packed with both coarse and fine sand to catch those finer particles.
Third drum: The charcoal filter, where the magic happens!

And guess what’s on the agenda for tomorrow? We’re crushing charcoal and giving it a good wash to ensure it’s clean and ready for action!

Stay tuned for more updates on our journey! 💪✨

Where Frogs Dance and Thunder Rolls!

Jessie’s Sunshine Farm in the enchanting land of Don Carlos

A place where the sun shines brighter than your neighbor’s new car, and the frogs throw nightly dance parties that would make even the devil tap his feet! 🌞🐸

Nestled in Barangay Road, Purok 4, this farm is not just a patch of land; it’s a whimsical wonderland where nature’s quirks come alive. Picture this: as the sun dips below the horizon, the frogs emerge, donning their finest dance shoes (or webbed feet, if you will) to groove under the moonlight. Who knew amphibians had such rhythm?

But wait, there’s more! When the thunder rolls like a rock band on tour, and the snakes decide to slither out for a little evening stroll, you know you’re in for a wild night. It’s like a nature documentary, but with more sass and less narration.

What to Expect at Jessie’s Sunshine Farm:

Frog Dance Parties: Join the froggy festivities! Just don’t forget your dancing shoes (or flip-flops).
Thunderous Entertainment: Enjoy the natural symphony of thunder while sipping on some fresh coconut water. Who needs a concert when you have Mother Nature?
Slithering Spectacles: Witness the snakes in their natural habitat—just remember, they’re not here for a hug!

So, if you’re looking for a place where the wildlife is as lively as your Aunt Edna after a few glasses of wine, Jessie’s Sunshine Farm is your go-to destination. Just be sure to bring your sense of humor and maybe a raincoat—because when the thunder rolls, it might just rain frogs!

Now, who’s ready to join the dance? 🐸✨

News Update for January 05, 2025

Some progress is done, small steps at a time. But life is good. There are no problems, problems are obstacles and obstacles are new adventures.
We had 8 pabo eggs this morning. Every day is rainy season for some reason. It is supposed to be dry now until April but we have heavy rain every afternoon.

Also, some YouTube planting videos are total scam. More to this later.
Our dogs are sick. The small ones are weak and barely move, Tiger was not seen for one day and he skipped a meal, showed up this morning again and stayed all day with us. Maybe he is doing better. Maybe Rabis? But his saliva is not dripping, his snout is dry!!! Maybe dead worms in his intestines and they create poison? We will see.
The flowers are coming along, slowly but surely. Also veggies. Funny is, even a Power Engineer has to learn to plant his own onions, garlic, and ginger. A challenge for me. But hey, You have a huge piece of land but you buy your onions in the market?? LOL That has to change.
We had our ONE YEAR JESSIE’S SUNSHINE FARM party with our buddy boys and family. Nice BBQ and some beer.
Moving forward.
