I’ve been staying over to care for my friend’s greenhouse, but today, I thought I’d take you on a quick little tour of their mini dragon fruit farm — a whole different world just a short walk away. 🌵✨
🌱 From Greenhouse to Cactus Kingdom
Every day I make sure my friend’s greenhouse babies are happy and hydrated (the pressure is real — they’re her babies, not mine).
But the dragon fruit farm?
That’s someone else’s territory.
I just walk over occasionally… you know, to make sure the cactus empire hasn’t disappeared overnight 😁
🌸 The Walk I’ll Miss
The walk from the greenhouse to the farm is only five minutes, but it feels like stepping into a slower world.
Along the way:
– Wildflowers blooming like they don’t need anyone’s permission.. I always stopped for a moment to admire the flowers,, purples, whites, soft greens,, like nature left little bookmarks along the path. It’s giving bonus beauty in every corner.

– The smell of soil and sunshine.. 🌞
look at this small but determined sprout that pushes through the dry, cracked earth,, a quiet testament to resilience in the heat of summer...
– Quiet, except for a bird or two making commentary in the background
🌵 The Dragon Fruit Farm
Rows and rows of dragon fruits..
some in pots, some grounded and proud. Most are still green and plotting their glow-up...
But then I spotted one fully ripened diva...
Just… there...
Red... Radiant... Ready...
Like it knew I was coming.
🍋A Calamansi Cameo
And in the middle of all the cactus chaos??
A random calamansi tree stands like it owns the place...
Not a cactus. Doesn’t care.
Truly the unbothered side character stealing the show.
So no, I’m not the dragon fruit whisperer.. 😁
I just make sure nothing weird has happened since yesterday.
But it was a nice walk.. And the plants are still there..
Mission accomplished. ✅
