All right. So guys, in today’s video, we’re going to water the plants. So these are some mints that we currently have available, and they are doing nice. So we have the younger sets over here, which is currently going for 650. We have the more mature sets over here, which is going for $1,200 per plant for the mature set. So 650 for these settings. They already have a root system and established growing pretty healthy, but we have some mature ones that are a bit more mature going for $1,200. They’re doing really, really nice. We’re going to water them today. We also have this um lemon tree or lime tree call it in Jamaica. This lime tree was created using the ear layering method where you um cultivate it using uh um cultivate it you have um basically allow it to root on the tree before you um plant it. So basically it already have a established root system growing pretty pretty nice. Awesome. I’m going to water that one today. We have some mulberry plants right here. So if you are a plant lover then mulberry is for you and also fruits is a a thing to have in your garden. So this um is a mulberry tree that was same as the lemon tree or the lime tree. This was um propagated using the ear layering method. Look at it. It start to bear fruits blossoming. Look at it. These are blossoms. These are blossoms. So the plant is be um um shaping up to produce fruits um in the coming weeks. Very nice healthy earing method. We have some that we’re propagating now using the stem cutting. As you can see this stem start to um grow have a root. It probably don’t have a established root system as yet but it start to grow. And there is one more that start this one over here start to grow as well. Um the others will start to grow in a week or so. You can see the bud start to push out bulge. Yeah. So these will be ready. Um they probably don’t ready for sale until about almost a month from now because you want to sell them when they already have a established root system and start to produce a lot of leaves. So these are um young in development at the moment. So probably a month time before the probably is ready because you want to have them a lot of leaves and the plants are fresh and healthy for you guys. But this is a malberry tree. Very very nice. This one is not for sale as yet. I think I might gift um someone this one. I believe either my sister, my mother or my father. Someone requested this plant. So I going to have it until I visit them. I take it with me. Awesome. Also, we have the strawberries right here. So, these is this is a little nursery bed. Um, strawberries right here. So, right here. So, this little nursery bread have a total of 40 plants. So, the top very very nice. The top was more mature and plant I think a few days before the second row. The second row you probably saying, “Oh, they are wilt.” But the reason because the sun was a bit hot today and also they recently just transplanted. So their root system need to adjust to the soil. These are the mother bed with of strawberries. They are doing pretty pretty nice. Um I will water them as well. Awesome. So in total the strawberries should be are shaping up to producing fruits in the coming month. We have the watermelon right here that we are growing vertically and it it is producing fruits. If you realize one one fruit right here and let me go around. So one fruit right here right. This is another fruit and this is another fruit. So this tree I’m going to let it produce three fruits. All the others are going to remove the blossom so that the plant can focus on producing or focus all the energy on those plant. This is another watermelon right here. This one only have one fruit at the moment. I’m going to wait until it produce two more. Then I start to remove the other blossom. So that because the more melons on the vine, the weaker the plant is and the fruits are going to be small. You don’t want to you don’t want small watermelons. You want big juicy watermelons. This is another nursery of strawberries. We’re going to water this one today. So today is basically a watering day. You want to water the plants. So and not just regular water. I’m going to use some nutrients, nutrients rich water. So, basically the water is basically fertilizer, liquid fertilizer. We also have the grape. Um, this is the red cardinal grape. I purchased this grape um recently. It’s doing really, really well. You can see the new leaves being grown right here. So, the plants is really, really healthy. We have some early rosemary that we just just plant them. Going to water them as well. So yeah guys, a lot of plants to water. Also these are some early settings of mints and some palm some flowers. You might be saying, “Oh, these flowers are died. Look how they will wilt.” But after they shred all the leaves, they’re going to start to push out new leaves and fresh like this one. This one shred all its leaf already. So if you can look right here, all the leaves are being shredded. This was a leaf that um this one just fell. So, it produced um new leaves. Going to water everything right here. We have the antium right here that these are early settings. We’re going to water those antium. Look at these. These antium are the hybrid. Most persons have the small leaves on which I’m going to show you in a minute. So, these are hybrid. Look at the the size of these leaves. Awesome. hybrid size leaves. So these are early settings. We don’t sell antium in these bags. We’re going to sell the antium in containers like this. So basically when you purchase a antium, you’re going to get it in a pot. You just can put it on your ver, put it somewhere in your house, anywhere you want to put it. So it’s just ready to go. This is a medium leaf antium. the leaves won’t get bigger than this. So it’s in the medium category. We also have the fine leaf antium. So these one the leaves are a bit finer. They are a bit smaller. This is basically a full grown plant. Your only thing is going to get more fluffy, put out a more more blossoms, stuff like that. But this one is very very fluffy. We also have the snake plant. So all our flowers, we’re going to sell them in pots. So this is a snake plant. So we have some early settings over here. We have some container coming in in a few weeks. This is a crown of tor. So basically today’s just a watering day and we’re going to water all the flowers. Crown of tor early settings. Let me show you a beautiful crown of thorn guys. This one is really nice. Not blossoming as yet. Let me show you something. This is a crown of thorn. This is a very healthy crown of thorn. Look at the amount of blossom. This one start to blossom for about 5 months now straight. Always blossoming. Awesome. So yeah, crown of thorn can be a very very nice plant to have in your backyard or in your garden. So we’re going to water all these plants today. So we have some plants right there. We have some plants right here. So we have a um a few plants to water. We have a mini garden out here as well that we’re going to water. So yeah, it’s a lot. So let’s get cracking, guys. This is very This is a very nice plant. I love this one. I’m currently propagating it at the moment, but because I don’t have the containers as yet, don’t have anywhere to put them. So I don’t want to put them in bags because all my flowers are going to be sold. These are some crown of torn early settings. This is a very nice plant. So I was about I was about to water my flowers um with some compost water, some um banana skin peel tea and you know my compost secretion water the flowers to get liquid fertilizer. But I realized that I the plants need to spray to repel insect. So what I’m going to do now I just going to make some garlic water um to spray the plants after I water them. So I just going to get this boiling. So we’re going to crush these garlics right now. just crush them up into some so that they can boil more easy. And then while I’m watering the plants, hopefully everything ready. And I just water the plants this evening. Awesome. So let me crush these garlic. All right. So I just crushed two heads of garlic. So I just going to let it boil boil boil for um a few minutes then water the flowers. Then hopefully by evening it is ready. So let me cover the pot. These are some wild cocoos that I pull up while cleaning around the backyard. So, what I’m going to do now, um, I just going to chop them up into some small pieces and them and then add them to my compost bucket. So, this is a new bucket. So, just going to chop them up into some pieces and add them to my compost bucket. My original compost bucket is currently full to the brim, so I have to expand the composting. Right here we have some banana skin peel. Banana skin peel tea, which is a liquid fertilizer that I just scoop up, use the liquid to fertilize my plants. So, let me chop these one up and then add them to the bucket now. So, everything is now sliced up. So, let me just add them to the bucket now. So, they are sliced up now. So, they just need to be added to the bucket. So, yep. So the bucket is now full to the brim. So what I’m going to do now just start the watering process of my plants. I’m just going to leave this compost bucket here for some time probably because it’s have some tough um cocoa. Probably take a few months to break down or probably a month or so. But let it stay. No rush of a lot of compost. So let this stay for a month and we will use it later in the future. Awesome. All right. So right here we have our banana skin peel tea. Let me just mix it a bit. And what I’m going to do now, I’m just going to take some of the liquid and use it to f um to water my plants, which will add nutrients to the plants. So, basically, this is a soothing liquid fertilizer. So, let me get this just take up some of the liquid. And what I’m going to do, I’m going to start with some of my anterium flowers to water. So these are some anteriors. Let me just give them a little touch. Nice. Nice. So that will basically um give them some valuable cuz the banana is very banana is very rich in potassium and you know banana is very rich in nutrients. So by me now um adding this liquid um portion the plants will basically smile cuz these this is food for the plant. Let me give this plant some give this antium some this one some not all the plants require every um nutrients heavy duty nutrients. Some just need a little water with a little f manure and that’s it. But you have some plants that are heavy feeders that really do like these times. They don’t really need a lot of nutrients like that. But I’m going to water them so that they just keep fresh and green. I’m going to water this lemon tree as well. Not going to water these as yet because they don’t have a root system. But I’m going to water this mulberry plant. So, let me get some to water the mulberry plant right now. Don’t want to take up the banana. So, I just dip it. All right. So, water the mulberry and the lemon lime tree. Why I keep saying lemon? Awesome. think I’m going to um add some to my watermelons as well. And not only that, I’m going to add some to my red cardinal grape vine. So, the strawberries, um, I’m going to test the soil to see if the strawberries need any. Um, I was going to fertilize them, but because I had done so 2 days ago, I don’t want to be overfertilizing it basically because if it has fertilized already, why give it more? So, I’m going to probably wait until a week from now before fertilizing the strawberries because they’re doing really, really good. Look at the leaves. Very healthy. I mixed some garlic water. So, what I’m going to do, I’ll probably just water them with regular water this evening so that they just the soil is more hydrated and the soil is more moist and then spray them with the garlic water to repel insects. So, let me water the red cardinal grape. So, that should do it. Awesome. Nice grape is doing good, guys. Look at it. Awesome. It’s It’s I put that stick a while ago. Um I believe a few days ago, and it’s already taller than the stick. I’m going to have to use a taller stick just to measure how fast it is growing. This plant, look at it. Very blooming all year round. It’s a crown of torn. So, I’m just going to give it some and give this rosemary some. So yeah, all the other plants should be good. Regular water should um do well with them. So I’m just going to use regular water to water the rest. But the special plants, you have to help them to remain nice and fresh and healthy. Right, these one just need water. They are doing quite fine. My time. So, let me give them some um give my time a little. Give my time over there a little. This little rosemary a little. These are early plants. Rosemary. This is my time a little. And this pepper tree. Um let me give it some. Awesome. So, yeah, that’s about it. Everything else just going to get regular water. I said I I said I wasn’t going to give them mints, but let me just um give them a little touch. I love my mints. So, let me let me give them um preferential treatment. Let me just refill this and give them just some um a little taste of it. I don’t think I have um give them any. So, this is a first for them. They already get um full manure or I believe I give them that compost already, but they haven’t um tried out the banana tea. So I guess can take some. So I have this bottle right here. So this is a bottle that have some little holes in it to spray so it make the water trickle through. So I’m just going to use it to just soak strawberries. Just kind of help it to moist the soil. The ones at the top are doing really really nice. Believe um do these ones up here as well. These are some early plants as well. Sun was really hot today. So yeah. So I want get those out the way. I believe there is one in this. Um this one look wilt but um hopefully it catch it look really really wilt but not sure what happened but it will be okay. Now what I’m going to do now I just going to get the giant pan and water the big strawberries. So I had started the watering process. Um so now all the plants are now fully watered. So the strawberries are watered and they are doing really really well. So all is left to do now is to um spray them with the garlic water. Not sure if I can do it tonight because I believe it’s probably still hot and you don’t want to water it when it’s No, you don’t want to spray it when it is hot. Your water is hot. So I want it to water to cool. So if it don’t cool before night comes, I guess I will just spray them in the morning. So until then guys, happy gardening. Peace. So guys, you can see boiling, boiling, boiling. So it is ready now. So I just going to turn off the stove and let it cool. Then I strain it off and then water my flowers with it. But let it cool for a bit. And yeah, awesome. So, I will see you guys in a
