In between your raised beds and outdoor fireplace would be gorgeous
O0o00o0o I didn't think of that! Great idea!
Definitely the best idea! If not though a vintage glider bench would be amazing too
My kids love using ours and it adds seating
It already looks so beautiful and peaceful. Can't wait for more gardening content.
Thanks so much! More to come ❤️
I just discovered your channel and enjoyed this video very much! I am 62, and began gardening at age 20 following the birth of my first child. I had very little knowledge of growing things, but asked for advice from my mother in law, and my own mom. When my zinnias and cosmos and four o'clock seeds came up and bloomed so beautifully, I was hooked! Today, I have several gardens on our farm. It's my pleasure in this season of life. Just look at all you've accomplished, why, it looks amazing! Remember to spend time with those sweet little kiddos and make good memories with them! They grow up faster than you can blink! I'm excited to share your video with my daughters who like gardening too. Blessings to you and your family!❤
Aww thanks Connie this comment just made my day! Such a great reminder that gardening is a great hobby you can grow with through the years
I love this, your videos truly feel like I’m listening to a friend. 💛 and I love the gardening content!! 🪴
Aww 🥰 that made me smile! I feel like I’m chatting with a friend! Haha
You’re doing a great job. Your kids are involved and enjoying the garden. That’s what is important at this stage of your life, making memories with the family. A fireplace in between the raised beds. I love an outdoor fireplace.
Thank you so much! LOVE the fireplace idea I gotta look into that!
Loveeeeeed the rain barrels & it looks so good!! Great idea ✨
Thank you!! 😊
I love your videos, I missed it while you were gone but I also understand and thank you for sharing. What I love the most is how realistic your life is. You show how a "normal" life can be and I absolutely love it. Thank you ❤
Aww thanks so much hun! Means a lot
Holy cow! Your backyard looks GORGEOUS! Can't believe y'all did this all yourselves!
Ahh thanks! Making me feel real good lol
Who missed Nicole??! I was searching her name like did I miss something?!
So happy for another video from the realest, even keeled, helpful, TH-camr
You're the best! 🥹 thanks for the support!!!
You are really making your house a home. I love it!
Yes! Thank you!
So beautiful! I have a narrow rectangular yard. I started off with germanium baskets on shepherd’s canes. I get the wanting to create privacy and coziness from neighbors so it feels like your personal oasis 😌
Thank you! And yes that sounds beautiful! Love some hanging baskets 😊
The gardening content is so motivating. Thinking about starting a mini vegetable garden of my own. I just have no clue where to start! Your yard looks beautiful. Love all the additions. That tree swing is so cool!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏼 girl same! I was like idk where to start so I’m just gonna plant a few things we like to eat lol keep it simple!
Adorable yard that’s coming along perfectly!
Thanks so much!
I love how you’re so relatable.
Aww thanks 😊
Watching this during my mom time and I very much enjoyed how soothing and well put out this all was, the before and after is so beautiful and I love encouraging you sound even though at times tired lol All the best with the kids and rest of the gardening ps my first boy started walking at 16 months and my 2nd at 9 months. They’ll get there eventually ♥️ All my love xx
Hey mama! Thanks for the sweet comment ❤️ my baby is started to get more courageous and taking more steps each day so I know he’ll get there soon enough hehe
Rain barrels look perfect as they are! Great video!
Thanks 👍
In a Chicago apartment myself and wow you have so much great space for veggies!!! You’ve done so much with one year. Love this content and happy to see more 😊
Thanks so much!!
Yes! Garden content! First year gardener here 🙋🏽♀️ & love seeing other people’s gardens ❤
Yes! Thank you!
What a wonderful yard!!! So many mature shade trees! Love the privacy fence, but that will take time. I would add some kind of climbing vine at the bottom of the fence to fill in quickly , while the trees mature. The stone structure adds so much interest. I love it! Yes , lots of terra cotta pots , flowers and maybe topiaries in that area would look awesome. I am a sucker for red brick houses, so find yours so charming, as the backdrop to the garden.
Thanks for all your thoughts! I have been contemplating a climbing vine, but wanted something evergreen and don’t want something invasive like Ivy, so it’s been very difficult to find the right thing. Might end up doing Euonymus plus eventually some climbing flowers would be pretty. I also like the red brick even though so many people are painting their brick white now I thought about it and I feel like I want to stick with red!
Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to share this process. I am a beginner with gardening as well and this video is way less overwhelming for me over googling information myself 🙌🏻
Glad it was helpful!
I love all that you’ve done and am very impressed. You’re adorable and so is your family. Best wishes!
Thank you so much!
Excited to watch
Your backyard is beautiful and honestly a dream for me. The tree swing and swing set are so cute 🥰
Thank you so much!!
Definitely want more gardening videos. Im in upstate NY so I started gardening with flowers first and now im starting growing tomatoes from scratch indoors 😭
Ooo similar seasons to me! I haven’t dabbled into growing from seeds it intimidates me 😅
Well done! You could put something like shade cloth on the fence for privacy. A custom made seat/day bed infront of the water feature wall, just a thought
Great thoughts appreciate the ideas!
I love your channel! Thanks for posting!
Glad you enjoy it!
Ok this was really encouraging to watch and hear! We have struggled with our yard so much, but I’m feeling more motivated to fix it up.
Awesome so happy to hear that!!
More gardening videos please ❤ i love to watch 💚💚💚
Stay tuned!!
Such a cozy backyard 🥰
THANK YOU!
I love it
Thank you! 🙏🏼
You've done so much
in one year!! It looks awesome. I too had to learn to be patient with my gardening. It's hard but the payoff is worth it
Thanks for that!! And yes you’re 100% right!!
I think a pond or a small garden waterfall between your raised beds will look cute too!
Yeah, so it must’ve been a waterfall before because we found some of the piping, but it’s all broken now. Would absolutely love to try to get some sort of water feature there at some point if I could figure out how to fix it!
You are doing so well 👏
Thanks so much!
Love what you did!
Thank you so much!!
Love this type of content ❤
Thank you 🙏🏼
I live in the Chicago suburbs too! Thankfully we got no Cicadas but I heard closer to the city was bad, I’m pretty far west. I love what you’ve done with the yard! Our kids are also the same age and it’s been a challenge, especially with my 1 year old. Nap times are really the only time I get to garden and it’s usually already hot by then. Love that tree swing and hammock! And your garden is coming in great!
Thanks so much! Glad to hear you didn’t have to deal with cicadas hehe 🙃 and yes def hard to find time with kids our age! Love to hear you’re still doing it anyway!
They do make grass that grows in the shade they also have a grass that will grow on rock, check it out
Yes we use shade seed for sure, still a struggle haha!
It all looks amazing ! You’re doing such an amazing job 🎉🎉🎉 inspiring me to give gardening a try, it’s just so scary 😂
You can do it! Honestly if I can anyone can haha
Just an idea, you can trim some of those branches from your maple tree to allow more sunlight into your yard!
Absolutely had this in mind as well, just trying to decide exactly where I want more sun to come through!
Nicole!! You have such a beautiful backyard! You have already transformed your backyard from what it was!! It’s the perfect mix of fun and relaxing and beauty! ❤
Thank you so much!!😊
So peaceful watching this 🥰
Thanks 🙏🏼 ❤️
Beautiful Transformation! A serenity garden for your family to enjoy. 🪴You’re hard work is definitely paying off.
Thanks so much! I just gotta work on the enjoying it part 😅😂
Thank you for this! Enjoyed this video so much
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi beautiful, Sansevieria plant growth everywere and is so easy to maintain
Yes, thank you
Loved this video! Such good inspiration to make me wanna fix up our yard especially because it’s been such an overwhelming never ending project 😂
You are so welcome! 🤗
The yard looks great! Some painted rocks around the tree would be super cute 😊
THANK YOU!!
It's looking good in your yard. It's going to be so nice when you get all your plants and landscaping done. Your yard is big and shady with lots of potential.
I hope so too! Thanks for the encouragement 🙌🏽
Just finished the video and it looks amazing 😍😍😍 you’re inspiring me to pick back up on my gardening. My backyard has not as much shade as yours and I like to keep my water bill low so it’s tough for me, but I also want an oasis in my backyard. I want to build a swingset like the one your brother built. Did he follow a tutorial you can link, pretty please? You also gave me an idea for a tree in my front yard that has many bare roots and I’ve been toying with the idea of a bird bath so my girly and I can birdwatch, especially since I found a dead bird on my front lawn this morning 😭😭😭 I’m sure it died due to the heat. Anyways, great job, Nicole! Your backyard looks amazinggggg
Thanks so much! I don’t have the plan for the swingset 🤷🏻♀️ but love the idea of birdbath in front window! So entertaining for the kiddos! Also found a dead bird in my yard before …. Yikes lol
You’re so cute in your little hat❤
Haha thank you! 😊
Use Easihold to spray over your pebbles and keep them in place
We actually tried the mulch glue but only one layer… so wasn’t successful. May have to try two layers next time t time
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Yard looks great! Can you paint the sewage cover?
Hmm haven’t thought of that! I’ll have to look into it thanks for the idea!
You do not want to cover your A/C unit, girl. It needs the space to properly ventilate. It’s not even an eyesore, tbh, just keep it clean and have it maintenanced regularly. That part of your yard looks spectacular so far. :)
Thanks for the tips! I definitely don’t plan on putting anything over it, I know that that’s not OK, But I have seen some coverage that people build using wood to essentially go around the sides 😊
@@NicolelelagreenI’ve seen those. Maybe ask an A/C tech for advice? They may have a better idea so as to prevent your unit from any overheating damage in any case. :)
Girl! I know the pain of having a 1 year old that doesn’t walk! None of my three children have walked by 1… it is rough!
Haha it’s painful to the armssss
Missed your content glad you're back and welcome to gardening🥀🪴🌱 I remember how gardening helped me when I lost my job. Keep gardening and looking forward to videos on your progress☺
Thanks for the welcome 🤗 so sweet it helped you during a rough time 🌱
