    It is so sweet of you to genuinely thank your viewers for the support and making the Hartley possible. THANK YOU for everything you have done to help teach, motivate and inspire thousands of new gardeners (like myself) to see what’s possible in their own spaces. You deserve that greenhouse and I’m thankful that we (your viewers) could help make it possible.

    Video Idea: As you were checking for spider mites on the plant at Home Depot I thought a great idea for a video would be to show the things to check for when buying plants, flowers, even vegetable plants. So many people may just have a “big box” store option where the quality might not be as good as a garden center and I think a video like this would be so helpful! Thanks!

    How beautiful the Hartley is coming! I definitely would put the Christmas tree in the center so it would look magical from either side you are on in there. Also I would put a small refrigerator under the counter for the entertaining and cocktail parties you would like to have in there. Especially Christmas time when people like to come stop by for a visit and a a cocktail! It would be convenient. Summer as well for a cold lemonade😊.

    For a "matching" saucer for your concrete pots, buy the spray-paint that has the 'stone look' in a similar grey and then spray the outside of the plastic saucers. It's not perfect but it's really good at not leaking (plastic) but really fools the eye as it's "blends" with the concrete pot. I even do this for terra cotta too, as the terra cotta saucers, not glazed, are notorious "ring makers" on wood lol. SO gorgeous , in LOVE with your Hartley.

I figure if they are made for the shower area they can handle getting wet or rinse off easy.

    Laura, you and Aaron work so hard to fulfill your dreams and are so giving with your time and abundant crops, whether they be flowers or food, you deserve the Hartley and every bit of joy that you feel! Your exuberance spills out of every pore of your being and fills us viewers with such happiness not only for ourselves but also for you and your family. I’ve learned so much over the years while following you and know I will continue to. Even if I didn’t, I love being on this journey with you and watching your property expand and develop! You have made it BEAUTIFUL! God truly has gifted you with all of the talents you possess! When you talked about this being a “pinch me” moment in the Hartley I thought of the Bible verse, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen”. Ephesians 3:20. I’m certain you have thought of that verse many times… May God continue to bless you and us through you❣️❤️

      That 'power' that works in us is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Bible scriptures are written for the saints' edification. To become a saint, one must obey the directive of Jesus the Christ to be born again of water and of the Spirit. Water is baptism by full emersion at an age of understanding and Spirit is to receive Gods gift of the Holy Ghost and Fire with the Holy Bible scriptures evidence of speaking in an unknown tongue as the Spirit gives utterance just like on the day of Pentecost. God is a Spirit and He seeketh such to worship Him. Repent, be baptised and sincerely ask God for His gift of the Holy Ghost and Fire. Simply think about God with your whole heart, mind and soul saying hallelujah over and over until you feel your tongue wanting to change and just let it. It is your spirit praying making intercession for you because the natural mind is at enmity with God.

    Hi Laura,
    Greetings from Hampshire, England. It was such a pleasure watching the evident joy you got from putting plants into your lovely greenhouse, like a child at Christmas! You asked for our thoughts on decorating the space for that season, since I stopped having cut trees in my conservatory (the underfloor heating just crisped them!) and moved to artificial I started a new tradition of bringing a live 3/4ft potted Norway Spruce into the house just before Christmas and decorating it with collected vintage stuff from my earliest memories, rich glowing incandescent C7 lights, with fragile looking silver tinsel and glass decorations shimmering with reflected colour. The tree sits on a table in front of an upstairs window and It is very much the traditional tree that you can sit and stare at and is the first thing I see when waking on Christmas morning. I think a version of this would also look terrific in your very traditional greenhouse!

    I watched Jay Leno mention-
    how his father ...
    brought home a burlap living xmas tree each year
    After December, he planted along their driveway. So they ended up with tons, God's blessing. Creates nice memory to year you bought them.
    Also- houseplant personality is fun... closer to outdoors. Kind of different territory, view for them. They are cute about being taken care of, fussed over...not as wild as perennials. Clean the air too.
    Neat dining area set up, beautiful arrangements.

    I have learned so much from your channel and have watched almost every video and my gardening mindset has changed so much. I now feel so much more confident in my gardening choices and feel so lucky to have stumbled on your channel many years ago. I am always entertained by your content and continue to learn. Thank you to you, your family and your team!

    The Hartley is absolutely wonderful! For Christmas, I would put a full size tree in the center where the little table is. I think it will be beautiful decorated. Also have you considered painting the pipes under the sink black? Then you wouldn’t have to use a “ skirt”.

  • @kat3910
    @kat3910 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    I'm loving how this looks! I would totally do a tall skinny tree right in the middle for Christmas. I think the tree would be such a show stopper right in the center, and a table top just wouldn't have the same impact. You could even use the ornaments you hand made, using flowers from your garden and all natural elements. I can't wait to see the space come alive!

    Laura I'm so happy for you. So many people get stuck in the wishing, hoping, 'someday' stage and never move on to the 'action' stage to make their dreams come true. You and Aaron are 'do-ers' and 'action-takers' to ensure your hearts desires become reality. I find that so admirable. Life is too short to wish & hope.

    My vote goes for tall/slender in the middle.
    Laura, I just discovered your channel this past fall. You have inspired me so much that I rearranged and redesigned both my front and back yards. I have been gardening for 50+yrs, taken several community college classes during that time, but I've learned about so many different new plants, short cuts and techniques (auger bit!!) that have helped to take my spring and summer gardening to a whole new level. Your passion, enthusiasm and encouragement are absolutely contagious, a gift to us all.
    BTW, I'm a viewer from San Francisco N Bay Area, zone 9b
    This mornings video of seeing you bring in plants etc into the Hartley was very special!
    Thank you for all you and Aaron do and for taking us along your journey!

    Laura, can you paint the terra cotta saucers a stone grey to use with the cement planters? Loving the new look in the Hartley. Very inviting. Also putting some of the plants on different levels like on little steps may make an interesting high low pattern or flow across the windows without blocking the view of course. So many options. 😊❤️

    Laura - just had a ‘lightbulb moment’ for covering the front of the sink area in the Hartley! Heard you mention needing towels handy - so instead of a curtain, why not add a small tension rod across the top of the counter legs (just under the sink area) for hanging towels? Or you could use wooden closet rod and stain it to match the wood on the counter legs! If the towels aren’t long enough to cover all the mechanics underneath the sink - you might even be able to add a second rod down lower (which could hold shorter hand towels or washcloths). As for the Christmas tree - definitely put it in the center of the Hartley! Can’t wait to see it lit up at Christmas!
