How much has the farm changed? Dexter Ando answers with muddy ponds being cleared by hand, then views of the bridges, animal pens and coffee shop that followed. Seated beside gorilla statues, he pauses to remember the work behind Dexter's World before getting back to some of it himself.
"LOOK HOW FAR WE'VE COME! REMEMBERING THE EARLY DAYS OF DEXTER'S WORLD" was the most watched of eight uploads this week, drawing nearly 10,000 views. Its before-and-after comparisons give way to trimming bamboo, filling a wheelbarrow and rearranging large pots along a walkway for planned student visits. Reflection doesn't get Dexter out of the gardening.
"I can say I am a man of patience," he says. In the comments, longtime viewers recall watching from the beginning, with one sending best wishes from Pakistan after seven years of following the channel.
Patience also figures in the week's fishkeeping. Baby balloon mollies were left at risk when a cracked concrete tank leaked almost dry. Dexter describes continually adding fresh water to keep the concrete saturated, hoping the small cracks will seal over time. A separate upload tackles guppy-keeping mistakes.
The newest project turns toward the kitchen: planting pechay to supply the farm restaurant, with surplus vegetables potentially providing another income stream. That upload currently has the strongest daily viewing momentum, followed by the molly rescue and "THE MANY COLORS OF GUPPY FISH #dextersworld".
Across the channel, daily views are about half above their usual level, although subscribers were unchanged over the week. The practical aim behind the planting fits Dexter's World particularly well: its fish-breeding tutorials and DIY projects have long presented hobbies as possible livelihoods.
