This was an amazing video to watch seeing the trenches, Benjamin playing and helping, you digging up the two trees and replanting them, the daffodils, the mulch and listening to your ideas. Aaron is so right the way he's planning the infrastructure. It's so much better to have it done in the planning stages instead of doing it later, and much less work. I hope you were able to go back and mark where everything is. Thank you so much for sharing! Can't wait to see things come together.

    I moved one last year so I sure know what you went through and it was one that just sprouted on the other side of our fence so I had to keep going back and forth within the yard to get to it and finally after cutting some of the roots too I got it and it’s displayed in the center of our yard in a new flower bed as it’s one tree I had always wanted and I figured it grew there just for me so although it was free, I surely worked for it and I’m 63! Kudos to all your hard work and honestly it’s you that has motivated me to do all that I do in our yard since I first started watching you!! Just love everything you and Aaron do!💐💗💐

    You definitely got your stretches and exercises in with that Redbud. Maybe add a little mulch around it to help hold moisture. That way you could see it better and less chance of somebody running over it out there all by itself!!!
    Such a fun memory to have of playing in the trenches! That looked like a lot of fun.
    Benjamin is such a great little helper. He’s always helping Momma with whatever she’s doing. I think that is wonderful and he’s learning so much.

    I admire you and Aaron forming a
    TEAM LABOUTTIERRE. My husband and I owned a florist and later on a farm and orchard. Rick was logistics and I was creative and workhorse.
    I did a lot of heavy work and asked for help when I needed. Rick isn't naturally creative, but he added input. We had defined roles, but helped each other. We were very successful. You two are amazing and doing so well.
    We are still pursuing our own passions with YT channels, but just for fun!

    I loved watching you digging out the redbud. I could relate to being owned by the tree or tackling a project that becomes very difficult. As always you are an inspiration.

    Teaching Benjamin to be safe around the tractor, kitties, and watching Laura struggle with that tree-great video! I often wonder if my neighbors think I’m crazy as I jump on the shovel trying to move plants around my yard 😆. It is amazing how mulch transforms a bed! Now you just need to remember where all the utility lines are. 😊

    Visions will come in time! Take your time and take all the time you need to plan. It sounds like you are going to have a major summer of remodeling , plus more to your house. After sideways and green grass it will be amazing!!! As you look back at the videos we enjoy you will realize what a major accomplishment you two have done already.

    Absolutely hilarious footage digging the redbud. I just planted my second one and decided I wanted to move it the feet. Now I'm glad that I let it sit for a few days before filling in the hole, so I just had to dig a new hole

  • @patricianichols4491
    @patricianichols4491 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh. my .lanta!
    I SO remember how contankerously difficult digging up redbud trees can be. ( I'm pushing 60 now) those days of struggle were back in my youth.😂 I'm watching this video while resting from a simple transplanting of some pots into the ground!!😂
    Old age and arthritis creeps up and hits you in the joints eventually. Ugh. Creatively...I understand how you come to your design process. It makes perfect sense. I honestly didn't get lost through your walk today at all. I'm seeing such amazing vision. Yes! Aaron's foresight with infrastructure...WHAT a blessing!!! (And loads of fun for Benjamin)
    Girl...you're living the life👍❤️
    God bless you guys!

    Good morning, Laura. I love watching your property evolve with the new designs. And, hearing you say you’re not sure exactly what you are going to do inspires me and reminds me I don’t have to be afraid to start a project and allow it to evolve as I go. I don’t have to have all the answers today. I can take my time and figure it out.. 🙌🏻🌸☺️

I finally got some Land and Sea Compost, double the price but worth it! My perennials are prettier than ever and every one of my 1500 tulips ,muscari ,and hyacinth I planted came up , biotone is what I used instead of bulb tone , then I used plant tone this spring, they’ve been blooming for over 3 weeks now ❤️

    I love that you drive the tractor. I grew up with my mom and myself doing all the landscaping and the front end loaders are so handy! Mom now has a skid steer which is so much safer and can get in tight spaces. I need one as our tractor is so light that it is tippy when the bucket is full. They dont make them like they used to! Also if you got a skid steer your paths wouldn't have to be so wide.
    Love watching it all come together!
    Everything looks great!

    Laura vs. Red Bud! 🏝 Laura, you are such a great example of determination and perseverance. After all that struggle with the Red Bud I would have been ! However, you went on to dig out another tree, re-plant the trees, move rocks and spread mulch. WTG Laura! Your energy level truly amazes me! 💚

    Oh honey, NOooo. I was staring at the heavy equipment right behind you as you were trying to muscle that redbud out! I know the excavator was too big to help, but a backhoe could’ve done that job in about 2 minutes. I am lucky enough to have access to heavy equipment and always use it if I can to help in bigger transplanting jobs.
    I hope your redbud makes it and that you didn’t get too sore tackling that job! 🤞🏽💪🏼

    You subliminally asked for a challenge and got one, Laura! I’m not certain which video it was, maybe a recap video last week, you mentioned you never get sore from working out in the garden. I think we’re all feeling that one for you! Looks great! Thanks for always taking us along!

    I'm just like that. I will never ask for help and I will give it my everything for something that I truly love to do. I'm almost fifty now and I'm still going strong. If I don't know something I will learn it, if I learn it I will do it and when I do it I will finish it. That's how I roll. Congratulations to you for not giving up and for telling everyone that women are capable of doing that and more. Hard work and perseverance are what people need. Love, love your family and what you stand for. Thanks

    Honestly the scale on which you garden is jaw dropping to me…. Your garden is the size of the housing estate that I live in. You also appear to have more energy and many many more hours in the day than I do… but then, I am watching TH-cam videos…. To work 🌱
