    I was agonizing over doing over part of my house/yard, and a friend of mine, who's a professional designer, said " I'll tell you a big design secret. When you build and plant what you love, it all goes together." I think of that every time I'm driving home with a car full of palms, plants and such that were too good to pass up at a garden center. I love what you all are doing, and I'm so glad you're letting us in on the process. Dreaming is so much fun!

    As a very visual person, this was really helpful to give us all an idea of the plans you've been talking about within the space and to see the general scale of it compared to a tree, greenhouse and your existing gardens. Seeing the teeny images of polytunnels on the drawing really put into perspective how massive the new property is. I hope you add in more drone footage as you work on it, it has been really helpful to be able to place things on the current property as it can get a bit confusing knowing which area you're talking about, even after watching for years!

The videos and photos brighten my day. I have had a love of gardening ever since I was a little girl. Your property is a sweet reminder of my childhood home where my father grew everything (except asparagus, because he didn't like it) His gardening, along with my mothers canning and freezing, fed our entire family and half the neighborhood as well. He also had a small cut flower garden for my mother. Your videos touch me deeply. I am truly grateful.

    Laura/Aaron ~ Consider Placing The Two High Tunnels (end-to-end) In The Back Garden Area. It Would Look More Appropriate Next To The Barn, Because Of Its Structural Appearance And Function, Rather Than The Beauty Of Flowers/Plants Being Grown There, And Hidden More From View.

    Very helpful, thank you. I'm a visual learner so seeing your plans drawn out helps tremendously. I operate the same way you do and need to be able to "feel" my way through projects like these. Having the freedom to try something out and live with it for a while to see whether it works is invaluable. Take your time and adapt your plans as necessary. It will be beautiful in the end. ~ Lisa

    Laura, yes it is inspiring! At least for me. I’m not a “planner” per se and that gets me in trouble. I tend to feel stuck once I put something in the ground. You’ve taught me to move it if it doesn’t bring joy and you’ve taught me to plan ahead when possible. It’ll be fun to see how your plan evolves once things start going in. Loving it!!

      I try to visualize mature plants so a newly planted garden has lots of wide open spaces, but some of these plants will eventually quadruple in size and I'd hate to have to dig them up down the road because I miscalculated. Experience taught me that.

    Hey Laura and Aaron! Looking good! One thing that you may want to consider is a patio near that large green lawn. Reason I say that is my parents really like to watch my high school kids practice on the pitch so to speak. They will appreciate a place to sit out of the sun and spectate. By the time my son was 5 he was taking up a huge amount of space for running, kicking the soccer ball and playing catch with the football. The words he still utters at 17 are: “grandma watch this”!

I started homeschooling my kids and I don’t have a lot of time to do what I need specially watering everything by hand . Anyway keep doing what you’re doing because is inspiring for me to keep doing it and not give up. Thanks Laura and Aron and little Benjamin!

    I love that you're going to have an avenue of trees to drive down every time you come home, with a big lawn adjacent to that. It will be so restful to the eyes. The other thing in your drawing I really like is the little woods with the pathway running through it, up in the corner near where you're entrance is....I love walking in a pine/evergreen forest....there's something about pine needles underfoot, and the smells are so nice. I'm anxious to see what develops there!
