Hi everyone I hope you all have been good to yourselves. It’s been a while since I’ve been online.
This is the first post in a new series called Nature is Magical which presents the crops and plants that I grow as well as other interesting things. I got the inspiration to do this from gifted50. Check out her blog. It’s refreshing. justpene
Thank you to ceridwensilverhart owner of Illuminating the Fool’s Mirror for honoring me with an Original Outstanding Blogger Award and another Sunshine Blogger Award.
I am grateful to mentalhealth360.uk for gracing me with an award.
Thank you to petrel41 owner of dearkitty1.wordpress.com for nominating me for Real Neat Blog Award.
They’re all great bloggers. Check out their work.
Many of the bloggers I follow grow things so I thought I would add to that positivity; we can exchange ideas and inspire each other.
I love spending time in nature and I believe that farming should be in harmony with the environment. Fertilizers and pesticides can be made from natural things which cause no harm to the environment and your health.
I encourage everyone to plant something even if you live in the city. Try growing even one plant in a container.
Okra
Okra adds thickness and texture to soups and stews.
Apple
I planted this apple tree a few years ago and it’s just starting to bear fruit.
A few random shots of lizards
Coconuts
I planted quite a few coconut trees.+ I plan to grow more.
Bananas/Plantains
Plantains are a variety of banana. They are usually cooked instead of eaten raw.
I love them raw.
Pumpkins
A pumpkin vine is not only a source of food. With its large and imposing yellow flowers it is also offers a fantastic display of beauty.
Papaya
Papaya is juicy and delicious.
I look forward to continuing this series. What have you been growing lately or what do you wish to grow?

I thoroughly enjoyed getting a glimpse into your daily life. The pictures are great. Looks like you’re producing enough to feed the neighborhood. One love.
Jaja Wallace
I’m glad you enjoyed it, I love Farming, a goal of mine is to grow enough for myself and others.
One love.

Oh man, you are living just the way I would if I could. The kids are still young. But you have a green thumb and the papayas — abundant as is everything else.
Blessings and I know you are eating well.
Jaja Wallace
Thank you.
In the past I used to eat a lot of sugary snacks like chocolates, doughnuts biscuits etc but I’m eating much healthier now.

Great to see what you have achieved with your plants and trees. We used to throw the pumpkin seeds on the ground where we wanted them to grow and they would root and grow. Nature is amazing. I would love to grow my own vegetables and fruit. Bless you Jaja.
Jaja Wallace
Yes sometimes I don’t plant the pumpkin seeds I just throw them in a particular area and they grow.
When I lived in the city I was surrounded by mostly concrete but I had a few plants in containers that I treasured very much.
Peace and blessings Nanette

Wow, you have a coconut tree? That would be amazing. I love coconut water and meat.
Jaja Wallace
Yes I have several and I plan to plant more, it’s such a flexible and highly nutritious fruit. 🌴🌴🌴

It must be wonderful to be able to grow all those delicious fruits and vegetables. I’ve never seen papayas growing before. The tree looks amazing with all that fruit. And coconuts, too. And plantains. I like them ,but have never tried them raw!
Jaja Wallace
Yes I love growing things, one of the greatest feelings is planting a seed and seeing it emerge as a tree that will eventually grow bigger than me.

I love papaya but they would not grow in our climate. In the summer we grow tomatoes and several herbs.
Jaja Wallace
Herbs are healing. 🌿
