    So refreshing! She's not talking about material possessions like name brand clothes and cars! She talking about things we really need in life to survive. She's talking about taking care of animals. She's talking about how mysterious and magical the process of life is in general! 🧬🌻🐂⛈️🌀 This is the "entertainment" I digest! 💯

    That's so good that yall got this property and do all this. I just watched K.G. interview on Mike tyson. They brought this up. Nice. Im native (ojibwe) blueberry is sacred to us. We have harvest season, also when we have ceremony and pow wows, before everything begins we get fed fresh berry and food from harvest to help bless whats going on. We also have our 3 sacred foods we call the 3 sisters (Corn, Beans and Squash) They grow and are stronger together to grow through a lot of different weather and soil types. But they grow really well when grown together. They grow in a symbiotic way, the corn grows and the bean vines use the stalks to grow bigger and stronger. The squash is in the same family as pumpkin, you grow those near the other two because they pull so much nitrogen from the air and push it back into the soil. Which helps the other two grow a lot healthier.
    Such a good thing to have you and your family involved in. Love this

    Dreka is extremely positive. We all have stories . No doubt she survived a lot. She is so relatable yet guarded. She definitely understood her assignment . She is the brains behind everything. How you conqueror everything says alot about a person. She is so enlightening. But follow Christ footprint. Not man because humans are imperfect . She is following her path. And I commend her. The mere fact that humans are only using 1/10 th of the our brain. Imagine if we could function at 100% in a perfect state??? Dreka , I’m always waiting for new vlogs. Everyone want to be you. When in actuality find your own niche. And be true to yourself always. Much blessings to my positive sister!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

    Someone probably said this but the larger the okra is the tougher it is so you want to pick them while they’re still fairly small. A lot of vegetables are like that. I love your channel I moved to the city and used to complain about helping in my parent gigantic garden but I went home yesterday and I miss it. My family started a vegetable stand this year and i’m so happy for them.
