Jungle Fever: Our Farm’s a Banana Republic (and I’m Not Talking About the Country), Part 1

So, we’re basically living in a jungle now. The grass is 20 feet tall – I swear, I saw a giraffe peek over the fence the other day. And our farm is a banana haven! We’ve found six different varieties of banana trees, and we’re planting more like it’s going out of style.

Speaking of style, we’ve also been scaling trees like Spiderman to get to the buko (young coconut) – it’s basically nature’s energy drink, and we’re addicted. The only thing we’re not addicted to? Snakes. Apparently, our loud, chaotic farm life isn’t their cup of tea. They’re all running for the hills (or, you know, the tall grass).

Stay tuned for more updates from our jungle farm! We’ll be back with more tales of adventure, banana-related puns, and maybe even a few snake encounters (hopefully from a safe distance).

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.
