    So Jess, the question of the day is….. “Did Nana do the zip line or not?”

    😂nothing like having nieces and nephews and grankids visiting, I'm in South Africa and we just came from our winter school holidays and had 7 kids 12yrs and under. Really makes my heart smile hearing them laugh, play, asking lots of questions especially because my family is vegan and they've been eating no meat for full 2weeks which is very unusual for our visitors, but 2 days into my cooking it was like a guess what the food will be today!!!😂😂, they definitely experienced new things and will have alot tell their families. Needless to say I am booked again for a full house for the end of year holidays because all of them said they are coming back for more great food tasting they've never tried before 😅😅😅😅. My husband and I can't wait.

    Oh my gosh, NO WAY! My whole family has always called my older sister "Sister" and now that some of the siblings have kids, they often call her "Auntie Sister" how funny! It was so sweet to see the girls on the farm! When Ben squirted her and you said, "He squirted it right at you because he is your boy cousin ... and that is what boy cousins do..." soooo real! Then they told on him yo the youtube community, haha! Little do they know, we all love Ben the garden boy and could never turn against him!

    My grandson and I love figs. My brown turkey figs die back to the ground most years. 1 fig bush was not enough for the two of us. Plant 2 more last spring.
