00:27 [Music]
00:39 Good evening, Mr. Martial.
00:40 Good evening.
00:41 How are you?
00:42 Welcome.
00:43 Thank you.
00:43 You can come in.
00:44 Okay.
00:45 Okay.
00:46 Okay, it's upstairs.
00:47 We'll go upstairs.
00:48 Okay.
00:49 Watch your step.
00:51 [Music]
00:58 This is the beginning of the day.
01:00 I went to cut my plants.
01:02 The kids saw that it was pretty,
01:04 so they just cut a few branches and left.
01:07 In my class, I said that I wouldn't do anything if it wasn't for my education.
01:12 But since it's what the kids want,
01:15 I tried to put it here.
01:17 Sometimes they come up, cut the flowers, and play with them.
01:20 [Music]
01:23 This is pineapple.
01:24 I produced it here.
01:26 There were three.
01:29 Two were given.
01:30 I cut them.
01:31 We ate them.
01:32 This is the last one.
01:34 It hasn't been given yet.
01:37 This is the choux pepper.
01:39 This is the cactus mint.
01:42 Cactus is also from the kids.
01:46 They were very small.
01:48 Everyone has their own cactus.
01:50 This is for my daughter, Melissa.
01:53 This is for my son, Matisse.
01:56 Every morning, everyone comes to see the evolution of their cactus.
02:02 It's green.
02:04 When we wake up, we boil it and drink it.
02:07 When we drink it in the evening,
02:09 you sleep well without any problems.
02:12 It's a really peaceful sleep.
02:15 If you notice, there's more salad here.
02:19 I think the salad is what deserves the most.
02:22 I'm going overboard.
02:25 I get up at 4 or 4.30 a.m.
02:28 I roll up my sleeves before I take a shower to go to work.
02:32 If I have the choice, I also show the kids.
02:38 On the weekends, there's always something to do here.
02:41 You have to talk to the plant.
02:47 If you talk to it, it will caress you.
02:50 If the plant doesn't produce,
02:52 you can threaten it.
02:54 You can threaten it with a stick.
02:56 It will say, "If you don't produce, I'll cut you."
02:59 It will answer you.
03:02 I explained to the mangrove tree in the yard what I was doing.
03:07 It didn't give me anything.
03:10 I talked to it and it gave me a delay.
03:14 If it doesn't produce this year, I'll replace it.
03:17 It will produce it in the same year.
03:19 You have to talk to it, caress it.
03:21 I have the idea of a service.
03:24 My thought is the house.
03:27 If I leave the service,
03:29 I run to see how it eats.
03:33 It's a passion. I like it.
03:36 I was never tired of the garden.
03:41 Even if I go home at 8 or 10 p.m.,
03:44 I have to go up and down.
03:47 My little garden has been here since 2019.
03:51 During the coronavirus,
03:53 when we were in lockdown,
03:55 one day, I was on the balcony,
03:59 resting, and bam!
04:01 It came to my mind,
04:03 "Why don't we try to do something?"
04:06 The following week, I went to pick up the boxes.
04:11 I went to get a plan.
04:15 I cut it up and put it in the boxes.
04:19 I went to a empty plot.
04:22 With the kids, we went to pick up the soil.
04:25 We made the nursery.
04:28 And bam! It started like that.
04:30 Thank you very much, Mr. Nkia.
04:32 You're welcome.
04:33 Thank you for letting us visit your garden.
04:36 So, this wonderful number is dear to us,
04:38 and we hope you've learned a lot with us.
04:42 Thank you for your attention,
04:43 and see you soon for a new episode.
