SALUTATIONZ N APPRECIATIONZ PLUS GRATITUDE GRACIOUSLY GATHERED... MR AND MRS GATES🔥💯✔️

I’d love to see our girl Dreka do a “what I eat in a day” series. I feel like she chefs it up! 😂💛

It's a blessing to see her so happy and down to earth.

Dreka just has natural Beauty

Dreka is legit like my top 5 female influencers I get excited for watching the content on social media. Full of love and life💓

To have that much land and a farm is all I want. I just want to spend a day or two on the farm. Dreka you are goals!!!!

One day i will own property too, im thinking Georgia where i can tend to my land the way i tend now to everyday life Ive always had this energy connected to nature, woods, ocean.... anywhere where you can feel the disconnection from the regular world. When others cant even see freedom, i know im surrounded by it!!!!

Dreka’s smile so contagious 😊 I smiled watching the entire video, I absolutely adore her 🥰🤍

This is inspiring. Even the imperfections feel good. We embrace the trials!

A lemon and an orange tree would be the perfect pair to and to your beautiful garden 😊

This Queen has the most beautiful energy, She is the definition of being beautiful on the outside and in . Your energy is unexplainable fr.. Thank you for spreading your vibes… 💚🤍🙏🏾

You and singer Kelis do it for me when it come to animals, your land, and growing your own food. Love it!

I REMEMBER WRITING HER AND TELLING HER HOW GREAT BEE FARMING WAS SHE IS NOW HARVESTING HONEY ALSO ABOUT AQUAPONICS I HAVE YET TO SEE THAT❤💪

Dreka I don't know if your going to read this comment, I suggest that you use mulch in your garden area to cover over the weeds that are growing in the sand.

Not the baby just casually paddling by to get some watermelon 😭 Love this so much. This is how we’re supposed to live. Thank you for sharing again

The interaction between the generations was beautiful and priceless 🫶🏾🧬🌍

I just love that your kids look so free and at peace. a mothers dream

Dreka, your day to day life including the farm and your channel as a whole is so therapeutic for many of us ❤️

Hi Dreka, I’m a female cattle farmer… I’ve prepared my garden area this pass Spring….in hopes to plant both my fruit trees and vegetables next Spring… However… I would plow the areas of your walkway in the garden and put down card board , then wood chips over that… this will keep the weeds out… also an organic way of doing it! P.S. I wasn’t aware of your others businesses and others may not either… I would love for you to bring it over to your RU-vid channel… so we can learn more and support…#happyfarming

The peacock coming back and the rest feeling at home is sooo heart felt . This was everything!!

Dreka is a lovely soul inside and out 🙏🏾❤✨

It’s nothing like owning your own land! Watching this helps me to see what my vision actually looks like and to keep grinding until I get it!!! I appreciate you Dreka for sharing🤝🏾💯

I'm happy she's happy 😁 I love seeing this 💟... The fruits look amazing the flowers are beautiful 🥰 dreKa

Dreka is soooo beautifulllll man omg 😍

You can research this but,when you grow the same crop year after year it tends to destroy soil, my guess for you would be incorporate fresh dirt and cow manure and mix it in with your sand and soil. Dirt is about 5$ to 15$ a ton plus delivery. My garden is about 30×12 and I bought potting soil mix and then when to a local farm and got a ton of cow manure and just started to blend it into my soil. I like to use backing soda & Epson salt in my garden as well. Earth worm castings too.

I'm "proud" because of how committed She/They are!! This seems hard & difficult to maintain(life-style wise)? It seems like a marathon, not a sprint? U truly have to 'plant your seeds/be patient/harvest'. I'M SO "CITY" THO!! AGAIN, I'M PROUD of this!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

From what I've read, it usually takes three to four years for grapes vines to produce good fruit because as the vines get older they start to store sugar and nutrients, they are most likely bitter because the vines are not aged enough

i saw the thumbnail and im like "IS THAT DREKA?!" 😂😂

This woman right here is everything a man needs in his life. ❤️

This is the life, all a man like me could ask for. Me ,my wife and kids living peacefully and enjoying each other's company 😌 ☺️. About a hour from the city and me and my lady handling business and bringing in income. Being able to bring my family and hers along as well.💪🏿🙌🏿 #BigGoals

One day you will be blessed with your own land, generational wealth and prosperity! Your heart is healed; you will hurt no more! You are NOT a failure; you are not cursed, I cancel every binding spirit that was passed down to you through the seed of your father… you are a blessing to this world and you are healed physically and spiritually in the name of YOUR god! Go forth and be great Queen… I love you if nobody else has told you! ❤️

I added okra to my garden this year because I saw Dreka eat an okra straight from her garden. So I tried it and it was everything 🤩🙌🏽🙏🏽

Her spirit is so pure. He personality is so addictive. Just to see the process of growing from the ground up is such inspiring. I love everything about this woman 🖤

We get a 30 minute vlog! I’m excited💕

Dreka the finest women God created Kevin you tripping fr

I can watch this all day. Beautiful people, beautiful life.

This woman blows my mind. So down to earth. While most women all the superficials things she is back to the " LIFE' itself and her natual BEAUTY, HAIR is just out of this world. this is real life. I love Dreka for real

Blueberries are one of the healthiest fruits crazy health benefits.

One thing I learned a long time ago, is that life will always find a way. Nothing is ever permanent. Having a farm / garden is hard work to maintain. What you have done looks good, and producing your own food is the best, good job on that.

Dreka… do you understand how im trying to level up. I want everything my family to consume is something I’ve touched‼️. Blessing upon YOU!

Thanks for keeping us updating with your journey on the farm. 👩🏿‍🌾🌿 "Ooh, smell this.. 🌸" (9:33) that whole shot should be the new intro to your vlogs. It just captures you so well.

This is just a whole vibe like I remember when I use to plant vegetables and fruits with my grandmother in her garden and this brought back so many amazing memories 🥹❤️

She's such a BEAUTY. I love these farmer gentlemen passionate about farming

I love fresh fruit!!! I miss picking apples and pears and grapes from my family trees in VA!! We never brought fruit growing up… I need a farm! thx Dreka for the inspiration!!!

You are inspiring. I love how how you shed light on life off a farmer even at small scale with your platform. People don’t know what it’s like to be a farmer like ourselves. It’s not easy and We all share the same ups and downs in this field. I love how you have developed your place and I wish I could help but I have my own farm to manage here in Texas and I have my own channel to spread the knowledge I have. I run everything solely by myself,but I would love to come and experienced your place and document it for my channel.

Love these holistic videos 😫😫makes me feel so much more closer and connected with nature 💛

Living the dream! You definitely have something I want. May God continue to bless you! Definitely inspiring!

Youre a goddess in the garden!! Youve got quite a farm & its a big inspiration of mine. I follow lots of different homesteads and home growers on here. Ive seen a lot of people say they like to use wood chips in the garden! As they break down too theyll add nutrients into your land. But theyll help keep all those weeds at bay! One of the couples i followed did a test on chipped garden walk way and non chipped garden walk way. She said she had to weed maybe 2 times that whole year on the chipped side where as the other she was having to do every week! I think stepping stoned or patio stones would be a nice touch in the walk way as well. I want to say they used Cedar wood chips.

One of my favorite videos yet. Your garden is getting better next year will be even better. What you have created on your land is beautiful Dreka! From the boxes for gifts blueberries tomatoes of the vine oh my gosh super Awesome!!!✌❤

so inspirational! i still remember snapping peas from my grandparents garden as a little girl. manifesting this lifestyle 🫶🏾 i love this journey for you, Dreka! thank you for sharing.

Beyond Cosmos Wonderful 😇 .Gratitudes, Peace&Love 🙏🏾🌈

✨Omg!! That Fruit Looks Delicious!!! Dreka You Look Amazing... Per Usual!! ✨ 😍🍉🍍🥝🍉🍊

I have the greatest GREEN THUMB…I surprise myself every grow season…I’ve grown everything from calla lillies to cannabis…ALL ORGANIC …I still consider myself a stater grower, but I would LOVE to help on your farm…you have EVERYTHING!! I could learn SO MUCH🙏🏾

It's the body for me!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

It got quiet af when that pea foul flew away 😂😂😂😂 whoopsie lmaoooo

Hey baby girl when you dig your potatoes or onions out of the ground do not wash the dirt off of them because that's is what preserves your onions and potatoes and keep them from rotten you wash them and then they start the rotten process Plus plants don't like to grow and wood chips or sawdust wood chips and sawdust takes all the nitrogen out the ground it keeps your plants from eating love you baby girl Uncle Larry

Dreka, your smile is contaigous! I needed this push to take my garden seriously lol I always get discouraged, but I'm going to try again

Dream you are a true inspiration

I love watching your farm life, you look so happy,peaceful and content,and you love farm life ❤ watching you has motivated me to start off with small garden and then slowly build a little at a time but feeding my kids and dad healthier and from a garden that isn't full of pesticides or other things that aren't healthy so please keep making the farm videos it honestly helps me GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Glad to see you living your life unbothered

I’m so happy to see you in such a good space when I’m looking for peace I can always come to your page ❤️

Healing... it's giving.

What a beautiful smile on a beautiful woman.She's so down to earth.I hope she gets a podcast and talk to women about loving themselves one day.🤗😍💖

This was just what I needed! After a week of studying, interning, & working my small business ya girl was feeling stressed 🥲 This was like a breath of fresh air. 🥰

Dreka is so beautiful and her energy match 🥰🥰

For you to be so down to earth says alot about your soul keep it pushing well be here for your journey.

I used to look up to Joanne so much and I always thought and associated that I couldn’t have that cause I don’t have my “chuck”(Joanne’s husband and business partner) it’s so refreshing to see this black woman doing it solo dolo w her kids …. Definitely gives me a different outlook and gives me hope that it’s achievable

Love when Dreka vlogs. Such a beautiful soul. Love it💚💚♥♥♥🌹🌹🌹😍😍

I love this. Having a farm is a dream of mine and you’ve literally just made me want to start the process. Thank you for sharing.

Not even being thirsty.....pure fact. Dreka is absolutely gorgeous and stunning.

She came backk!!! Peacock row is such a good name lol they’re so beautiful 🦚

Just came back from my farm, Sis...mine is struggling too!!! We don't live there but we are loving being in Nature. Thank you for bringing "it" to the People!!

I’m in school for veterinary medicine and you definitely inspire me 🦋

The goats have been getting it in 😩😩😩🤣🤣🤣🤣 And they’re all related. Oh no!!

She’s living the best life ever

This is the life...🤗🥰

This is so beautiful! Back in 2013 i had a baby and we were all about everything pure and natural and healthy! It was amazing! I made everything myself. I made hair and body care, cleaners, i even made my own makeup!!! I started a garden and me and my lil girl were out there in the garden and she was always in her birthday suit lmao. N at first i was "following directions" and planting things a certain way and she was just goin ham n planting stuff wherever n however she felt n everything she planted grew like crazy and all my stuff barely grew! So its good thing sometimes to just throw your seeds out with love where u feel thy shud be rather than where ur told thy go. I hope to be doin what your doin soon. If u ever want to open a dispensery here in MT hit me up 😁 Im a native frm tribe here and we even have our own bank. Anyways Im sending positive energy to you and yours ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The light and beauty that she emits effortlessly 🫶🏽 whew 😍😍

👏🏾👏🏾 peace of mind & gain a lot of knowledge

watching Dreka peacocks etc is so relaxing healing ❤️❤️❤️

I am so happy to hear homegirl came back!! 💕 That should definitely be her name now I can't see her being called anything else

In your garden pathways layout cardboard or cardboard paper and top it with mulch wood chips it will make your soil healthier and also choke out the weeds and grass ... Probably cheaper than pavers or concrete will look nicer and your garden will look awesome!!!!

You should get a backpack electric sprayer and spray the ground with weed killer every so often and that will stop it. and keep the paths grass and weed free love your farm! I'm about to get one too

I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!!! This is awesome & so inspirational!💛

Gardens are not easy-I can relate to Dreka’s struggle- but I’m grateful for all the wins in my garden and the losses- I’m learning something with every season.

Hey Dreka, I would love to come spend a day or two with you at your farm to learn some things. You are living my dream

Shout to my Muslim Sister Dreka she a real one. May Allah continue to Bless You and Family. As Saalmu Alayum

Just watching your videos are so inspirational Dreka I don’t be wanting them to end 😩😍🥰

This was so warm and inviting to watch 🍁🍂 p.s. Islah in the lake was a vibe 🚣🏿😎

This was art at its best. I sat ate breakfast the whole time watching this art. I didn’t really know who Dreka was until now I admit I caught up very late. At the same time I done fell in love with her

This is so peaceful Dreka!! Your videos are so inspiring!!

It's called mirepoix or holy trinity. In the islands they call it sofrito.

So good to see things are doing well and the rest of the plantings will come with more help. I was glad the peacock came back, I enjoyed!
