🌻Good day to all! Thank you for your valuable presence, Laura. In these trying times you and Aaron and your cuties, Benjamin and Samantha Grace give me and so many a lovely ‘place to go’. Coffee just tastes better with you … enjoy a Happy, healthy day everyone! ☕️🥰
I held my breath when I saw the tire tracks stay in the path behind the gater. 😬 But all the grassy areas are looking wonderful! It's hard to believe how much you've accomplished on this property in one short season! Not to mention with a newborn and preschooler in the house too! 😍 Great job you two! ❤🇨🇦
I know you have mentioned how you think we will grow tired of planting vids....but I have to say, 1st I luv em! 2nd as I grow and learn with your channel I understand more and understand better about what will apply to my garden...so the repetition of planting vids.... really is perfect and something I look forward to! 😘
There is a well established precedent indicating you can call something 'new' for as long as you like. In Great Britain they have what they call the New Forest, which Google tells me was established in 1079. So by that reckoning the winter coat I bought 8 years ago still counts as my new coat since I haven't needed to buy another one since. But the South Garden is nice; suggests afternoons featuring sun hats and iced tea.
You do have a history of using directional names for areas. When you say " the west garden", I know exactly where you are referring to. I think we can get behind this trend as opposed to fussy names like " the giving garden".
There's a TH-cam channel called growing a greener world. One if the episodes(that I can't find) showed a man who added real wood chips from a shredder, not a bag, to improve his soil. In 5 years his soil is GORGEOUS. Your idea of layering compost is good. I would also add wood chips that have sat for 6 mos (to avoid nitrogen fixing). Love your channel. You have So Much Energy!!!
I can recall a time when planting videos were not my favorite. However, seeing how the plantings are shaping the south garden, just makes these videos my absolute favorite! I just love GA! They’ve inspired me to save enough to have my own garden in the future.. Thank you Laura and Aaron for all of your hard work and passion for creating beauty in this world… 💕
The south garden is really coming together. (That’s a perfect name for it…south garden…more like the south acreage…soon to be the South Park. It’s starting to look like a park.) The grass is starting to look lush. Every time you film there is a marked improvement…greener and thicker. Such a huge accomplishment in such a short time. I really like those arbs…so cute and fluffy. I think Aaron will have to put the drone up frequently next spring to show all changes every week. It’s going to be amazing. Thank you for sharing and teaching us so much.
Am I the only one that loved watching Laura being able to drive n walk on the grass pathways?? Love the "South Garden" Watching the space continue to grow and come together is a wonderful inspiration.
I imagine your neighbours near the South Garden are delighted with every addition you make and their view continually is improved. I know I'm enjoying the additions.
Baptisia are among my favorites.They really do add three season interest in the garden. Blooms in the summer are real show stoppers. I really enjoy hearing the sounds their seed pods make in the wind. South garden is filling out nicely. Grass pathways are striking against the beds. It will be some show this spring.
Neat! ❤Do they rustle? rattle?or whistle? I'm so happy/thankful you posted this- i live with lots of wind and always consider plants for wind as well as other requirements.
Your planting frenzy in the South Garden feeds my gardeners soul....I’m thoroughly enjoying your parade or gorgeous plants with no expense or effort on my part! Thanks for sharing all the fun!!
The South Garden...I love it!!! The grass is looking spectacular. You have put so many new plants, trees, flowers, berries in there. It's is amazing seeing all the changes as you go. 5 years from now you are going to look at this footage and think..."Wow, we did this"!!!
One of the main things I take away from you is "if you don't love it, remove it!" We moved into our property 2 years ago and the developer had planted some strange plants on a narrow bed alongside our driveway (too big when full grown and too many in a small space). I've really enjoyed challenging myself to not just live with them - I've moved some to other parts of the garden and given others away. I now enjoy the area every time I park my car! Thank you for giving me permission to take those things out and do something I love instead!
Good for you 🐱. I moved into my house two years ago and didn't like several things and pulled them out. Got permission from Laura without feeling guilty 🤣.
I have a problem with my long garden. I give a lot of flowers away that seem like too much. I really want to redo mine, but just hate throwing flowers away.
@@barbararichmond499 have a day where you invite your garden inclined friends/people from the community over to take what you don't want that they might love for the own garden! My parents did that a few months after moving into a new place and it worked great! Even got everyone to dig up their own stuff
We just moved into a new build. The front yard was designed by the landscapers the builder hired and we had no say in any of it. It is very generic but fine. Our backyard is huge and just dirt/mud so that is our priority right now. Our front yard is good enough for now and probably will be for a few years before we make any changes but we won’t hesitate to remove and change what we don’t love! I don’t love the way it looks but I do love that it is done so it is staying😂.
The Southern Garden and the grass is looking great 👍. It's great that you followed up on on your video of the small plants with the Tater Tot today. We liked seeing how those look in the garden!
Love the name for the new property ! It makes it so much easier to understand how the whole property is positionned and its exposure and it ties it in nicely with other areas that are already called by their position to the house 🤗
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the woodchips mulch look you've got going on. It is wonderful and soft on the eye to behold. Plus the woodchips will breakdown as you said, and it will be so easy to just dump more on as needed.
Love watching the south garden come to life! To think you saw this in your head before the start of demolition is amazing! Great planning, I truly love the look of the front property!🥀🌞🌸🌻🌼🌾
Omg I finally got enough cell service after hurricane Nicolas to watch Garden Answer! I missed you guys! I finally feel normal getting to watch my favorite people! Still no electricity but this is better. You guys made my day so much better❤️
Hi Laura and Aaron! Those plants will be so pretty next Spring! Can't wait to see everything in bloom. Love the Tater Tot arbs! They're so cute! Thank you so much for sharing! BTW, the grass is looking fabulous, Aaron!
I love ❤ planting videos!! Watching this space take shape and being able to finally feel your vision. Laura my 1st year cut flower garden was amazing thanks to learning from you ❤
You have done amazing job transforming this new/south property. It must feel so good to see what you have envisioned come to life. Nice job..have a great day.
I love the small arborvitaes! I have 2 Monrovia Golden Globe Arborvitae tucked in the edge of a border. I can't tell you how much they do for the area to provide a little frame amidst a mass of blooms. Bought them teeny tiny and now they're thriving at the 2 year mark. Definitely a Laura-inspired addition ❤❤❤
OOOh so pretty it is all beginning to look. I'm am waiting to see how your Totem Poles do. I have plans to put two in my back yard this Spring. I absolutely love the Tater Tots and have plans to add at least one to my small beds. I also love those Sunorita roses, but I shy away from roses because of the thorns - but the colors they produce are gorgeous. I can't believe you planted those Baptisias - I was just looking at them online the other night to fill some larger spaces I have...now I can wait a bit and see how they do for you. I am so loving how the South Garden is evolving for you. And I was so excited, yet holding my breath a bit when you drove on the grass pathway. You guys are amazing. Thanks for helping me so much with my small spaces by sharing your knowledge and acumen. I'm beginning to have some successes because of you - even after the 108 degree temps we got this summer. Garden Answer ROCKS!
South garden sounds great. Fell in love with baptisia last year, planted 2 last year, 1 this year and have 2 more to put in this week. Your planting videos are my favorites!
Baptisia foliage is my go to filler in arrangements. I use it all summer and it doesn’t even put a dent in the plant. Thank you for your videos. You have made me a better gardener! 💚
South garden sounds good! Maybe, at the beginning of the video, the editor could add in a Google Earth type shot that zooms in on the area you’re working in. That way we can get a better feel for the layout and where the plants are going.
Wow, is it ever cool how things are coming together out here! And yet, still so much more room! Where have those little tater tot arbs been all my life?! They are SWEET!!! And can we just take a moment to admire the sweeping lawns? Aaron, you nailed it! Bravo to you guys! 💚
I like the grass pathways. I couldn't picture it when Laura shared the plan for the space, but now that its coming in I can see how lovely it will be once completed.
Good morning, Laura ☕️ The grass pathways look amazing! Great job, Aaron🙌🏻. I love the yellow Baptisia 😍 def on my list! It’s all coming together nicely! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Okay… I had to go back, watching this mornings video got me thinking about where you guys started! I rewatched the original garden tour videos and seriously the amount of changes since you moved in is phenomenal! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and teaching us all so much along the way!!
Hi Laura! Love all that you bring us. Have learned lots from watching you. An FYI, I’ve grown baptisia for years - obviously an older variety, but those beautiful seed pods do produce lots of seedlings in my garden with a pretty strong taproot if you want to remove. Also, as they mature, they start to cascade onto adjoining plants so you need to stake or give them space. That is my experience so thought I’d share. The seedlings are a pain
I too, love the look of the leaf structure of baptisia. When my husband was having some health issues, we had to go to the hospital for medicine etc. That is where I first saw baptisia. It was planted in the entrance. It wasn't in bloom but the leaves were so pretty. Now I know what they are.
Everything looks great, but the green of the grass is outstanding! At the rate you guys are going it won’t be very long before you have all your foundation plants placed. Great job! Truly a pleasure to see it all coming together.
I wish my garden centers had more PW plants. Same old boaring plants each year here. Oh well make the best of it I guess. So excited to watch what you're planting!!
Laura, I can only imagine how much you will be chomping at the bit to get out in the garden once Christmas has passed. There is just so much fun planting to be done and I can't wait to watch you go after it. Next spring is going to be soooooo exciting!!!! I love the baptisia by the way!
I think you're right on target to spread the plants out in nice groupings and not just do the borders. I think I see your vision there as a real statement! Good eye, Laura! I'm just mesmerized by you work and enthusiasm! I've watched you every day since the beginning! You and a cup of coffee is my daily start up! I would like to see the update on the Italian Ice Roses... Thanks and great job!!!
Just an observation...I really enjoy watching you water in after planting and connecting to drip as well. I hope you don't think that we get bored of that, I sure don't. It just seems more complete to me. Anyone else want to weigh in? Regardless, I love everything you do, love watching the amazing progress you've made and look forward to every video each day! Thank you for your passion and inspiration!
The South Garden is really coming together! So we have the South Garden outer and inner loops and... the berry bed? I'm loving the pictures of those baptisia, I'll have to go read up on them.
I love Baptisia, but with their deeeeeep roots they don't transplant easily. You better be committed to where you plant them. I cut off the seed pods shortly after blooms are spent because when I didn't I ended up with extra plants and not in a good spot. Did I mention they're hard to dig up?
I love these videos - I learn so much - I really need guidance with gradual building of plants as well as learning about drifting color/flowers throughout beds
Every morning I get so excited to make my coffee and open TH-cam so I can see what new amazing plants ur planting or what new exciting project ur gonna start!!
You are so encouraging to us new gardeners. Never have I felt so inspired to look for and plant so many different plants. Although I’m in 10A and not sure what is the difference in your hot and dry climate compared to ours. We get plenty of high 90s. We don’t get much rain and it doesn’t snow here. I’m in the San Diego, Ca area but not close to the coast. I would love another drip irrigation video though. Like drip irrigation for dummies.
You’ve got to be over the moon excited to finally be able to clearly see everything coming together! 😃👏👏👏👏👏 So very happy and excited for you and your family and all your hard work coming to pass. 🥰🥰🥰. BEAUTIFUL!
Love the "South Garden"...your home and property are lovely! I am so glad I found your channels, you are so inspiring and a great teacher. Thank you!!!
We own a bull mastiff mix named Tater Tot, and the fact that there is a hedge that shares the same name makes me so happy. It was very amusing to hear you describe the plants, and where you put them with the image of my dog in my head. I will definitely be adding a few of those to our property next year, thank you for giving us the information of its existence!
It’s amazing how you transform the desert into a green heaven . I only see desert but I am sure you already see green gardens and water features . I love your passion and your vision .You are so lucky to have this gift … yes I know it’t sweat and pain too but the gift is there.We all love you , you know 🤗
Everything looks like it is coming together Ms Laura and Mr. Aaron. Looking forward to seeing it when it is finished with top soil. Be safe and well. God bless you and yours.
I feel like I'm watching Jack Barnwell take on desert planting with perennial plants. So many new plants to learn about and watch evolve, spaces coming to life, and I'm loving every minute of it.
I really like that the south garden. Sounds special to me. You guys are the best with all that beauty and knowledge your videos show how much you care.
Love the name the South Garden, all the planting videos of it… your beautiful drifts planting and showing us how to layer accordingly to the heights of plants is so informative. To cap it all loved the choice of music 🎼 🎵 🎶 to accompany this video… thank you GA team 🥰
Oh yes that powdery white native soil! I live in an area like that too, but grew up in totally different climates. I've never gardened anyway, and for years I was scared to even try in this weird white "soil". There were so many resources for humid or temperate climates, but it felt like I was watching cooking shows and their ingredients were just ones I couldn't get where I live. THANK YOU for showing me how to grow pretty things in this kind of climate, powdery white native soil and all! ❤️
The new garden area is looking wonderful, can't wait to see what it will look like next year. Love seeing all the new plants and shrubs you are adding to the area. Keep the planting videos coming, never get tired of those!
My grandparents church has an addition built in the 70s. They still call it the new side of the church 😄. I thought of that when you were talking about the south garden/new property.
I love Baptesia. It's one of those really stately-looking native perennials that fit into a formal landscape really well. They have that great vase shape and two tinted leaves with the slight blue and green. They do attract bees when they flower but it's the most bustling plant in the garden. It's mostly just bumblebees that work them because the flowers have to be opened manually by the bee and not all bees are good at that. Butterfly wise they're more of a host plant to a few of the smaller butterflies. So they'll lay eggs on the plant and you'll get the odd caterpillar but nothing that's known to defoliate the plant. I can't say I've ever noticed butterflies on the flowers.
The South Garden sounds like a good fit, for the space. You've gotta reserve "The New Property," for any actual new property, in the potential future. And, I'm loving the new Tater Tot arbs.
What beautiful views today of your new grass areas. So breath taking. Laura. And you planted such beautiful plants today on your new flower areas it was a very inspiring video to. Just love you talking about what your doing in your beautiful garden with lots of excitement in your voice. I am like that in my garden. With new areas and new plants to plant..its such a joy to see how the garden is coming together. Have you done your floor yet on your beautiful hartley.
The amount that you guys have done in the last year is truly astounding!! It would be fun to see some before an after photos of some of the major areas a year apart - maybe as an Instagram post so we could really study them! You should be very proud of all of your hard work. Thanks for sharing with us!
I'm in the process of moving and as of right now i dont have landscape to piddle in... so thanks much for sharing your journey... I've enjoyed watching.. I feel like ive learned so much.. so excited to start planting and designing my new landscape...🌷🌼💐⚘🌻🌹🪴🌳🌿🍁🌱🌲🍂
In 1995-96 I planted soil conservation service bur oaks, rocky mtn maples, blue spruce, Saskatoon service berries, and Austrian pines (all between 1-6” tall), and mail ordered Austree whips smaller than my pinky finger in what I call the North Forest and have almost the same plants in a South Forest in their respective North and South Pasture areas. 😂 Hard to see through the forest areas now, 26 yrs later!
So many ideas and choices I've talked my husband into making a flower bed in the middle of our back lawn which get full sun. Need to add some color interest and more flowers to attract the butterflies, bees and birds.
The grass pathways REALLY make the space take shape. I can finally understand what the final vision is and how the space will flow. Question: How are you planning to create and maintain the edges for all of the grass? Is there a tool that will more efficiently do it every year or do you plan to edge by hand?
🌻Good day to all! Thank you for your valuable presence, Laura. In these trying times you and Aaron and your cuties, Benjamin and Samantha Grace give me and so many a lovely ‘place to go’. Coffee just tastes better with you … enjoy a Happy, healthy day everyone! ☕️🥰
Very Sweet and totally accurate❤️
Perfectly stated..thank you🌿💚🌿
Very well said!
Couldn't agree more. Love "my friend" Laura and her family!
I held my breath when I saw the tire tracks stay in the path behind the gater. 😬

For me, it's less about the project than just hanging out with a fellow gardener. We can plant, weed or clear. All great.
@@YSLRD absolutely!

The first thing that came to mind when Laura said they'd not be calling it the new property anymore was that they have bought another property.
NewYork, New Zealand, New Madrid, etc. I like south garden better, though.
I love this. 😁

Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
Nice to have you, Laura, as my walking companion 👩🌾👍
How are you doing today I hope you are fine
To the people who disliked this. What are u against? Plants? Gardening? Peace? TH-cam? Life?
They're probably just unhappy people spreading their unhappiness. Ya gotta feel a bit sorry for people like that, it must be awful being like that.
Sometimes people press it by accident. I know I did that once on another video/channel. But if it was done on purpose, then all the above? 😂
They are just the internet trolls that think it’s their job to “thumbs down” videos!
Probably trolls. Many get paid to be negative.
It doesn’t really matter actually. The content creator gets the same benefit from a thumbs down as a thumbs up in the TH-cam algorithm.
That great expanse of grass in the front of the house looks like it’s always been there. Excited to see how these new plants flourish!🥰
Yes, I was amazed at how lush and green the front lawn is. Closer up, the weeds do show, but not for long!

Hi Laura! Love all that you bring us. Have learned lots from watching you. An FYI, I’ve grown baptisia for years - obviously an older variety, but those beautiful seed pods do produce lots of seedlings in my garden with a pretty strong taproot if you want to remove. Also, as they mature, they start to cascade onto adjoining plants so you need to stake or give them space. That is my experience so thought I’d share. The seedlings are a pain
Love ending my day from work in the garden, then seeing what Laura did for the day!!

Thank you Laura for Sharing this planting video & your ideas on your South Garden 🌸🌺🌼🌱🐝🧤👒🐨🦘🇦🇺Karen 🥰
I too, love the look of the leaf structure of baptisia. When my husband was having some health issues, we had to go to the hospital for medicine etc. That is where I first saw baptisia. It was planted in the entrance. It wasn't in bloom but the leaves were so pretty. Now I know what they are.
Hope hospitals understand how much gardens are a comfort to patients, visitors, and staff. Hospitals are stressful places. Gardens relieve stress.
Wow left handed wave. Not sure I’ve seen that before. I’m having so much fun watching all your videos Laura and Aaron. Thank you!!
How are you doing today Mary and how is the weather over there
Everything looks great, but the green of the grass is outstanding! At the rate you guys are going it won’t be very long before you have all your foundation plants placed. Great job! Truly a pleasure to see it all coming together.
Faith in Planting. Love that!
I wish my garden centers had more PW plants. Same old boaring plants each year here. Oh well make the best of it I guess. So excited to watch what you're planting!!
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day
Good evening garden answer 😊🤚🇵🇭 new things to learn from Laura and Aaron 😊🌷🦋
It is so exciting to watch such a large garden area come together from the very beginning!
How are you doing today Donna and how is the weather over there
You are such an inspiration.
Good morning! The grass is coming along beautifully and you drove on it, yay!!
Laura, I can only imagine how much you will be chomping at the bit to get out in the garden once Christmas has passed. There is just so much fun planting to be done and I can't wait to watch you go after it. Next spring is going to be soooooo exciting!!!! I love the baptisia by the way!
I think you're right on target to spread the plants out in nice groupings and not just do the borders. I think I see your vision there as a real statement! Good eye, Laura! I'm just mesmerized by you work and enthusiasm! I've watched you every day since the beginning! You and a cup of coffee is my daily start up! I would like to see the update on the Italian Ice Roses... Thanks and great job!!!
Just an observation...I really enjoy watching you water in after planting and connecting to drip as well. I hope you don't think that we get bored of that, I sure don't. It just seems more complete to me. Anyone else want to weigh in? Regardless, I love everything you do, love watching the amazing progress you've made and look forward to every video each day! Thank you for your passion and inspiration!
The South Garden is really coming together! So we have the South Garden outer and inner loops and... the berry bed? I'm loving the pictures of those baptisia, I'll have to go read up on them.
I love Baptisia, but with their deeeeeep roots they don't transplant easily. You better be committed to where you plant them.
I cut off the seed pods shortly after blooms are spent because when I didn't I ended up with extra plants and not in a good spot. Did I mention they're hard to dig up?
Yes I love garden, how’re you doing
@@Edu_Kate hi
Whatever you plant in the South Garden will look wonderful. Keep it up Laura!!!
I can’t wait for them to do a summer garden tour NEXT YEAR!!! 😍🌺🌾🌿
The South Garden just keeps getting better and better. Thanks for sharing.
How are you doing today Karen and how is the weather over there
I love these videos - I learn so much - I really need guidance with gradual building of plants as well as learning about drifting color/flowers throughout beds
Every morning I get so excited to make my coffee and open TH-cam so I can see what new amazing plants ur planting or what new exciting project ur gonna start!!
You are so encouraging to us new gardeners. Never have I felt so inspired to look for and plant so many different plants. Although I’m in 10A and not sure what is the difference in your hot and dry climate compared to ours. We get plenty of high 90s. We don’t get much rain and it doesn’t snow here. I’m in the San Diego, Ca area but not close to the coast.
I would love another drip irrigation video though. Like drip irrigation for dummies.
You can definitely tell the improvement in the soil where there are wood chip, versus nothing!
You’ve got to be over the moon excited to finally be able to clearly see everything coming together! 😃👏👏👏👏👏
So very happy and excited for you and your family and all your hard work coming to pass. 🥰🥰🥰. BEAUTIFUL!
Love the "South Garden"...your home and property are lovely! I am so glad I found your channels, you are so inspiring and a great teacher. Thank you!!!
How are you doing today Joan and how is the weather over there
We own a bull mastiff mix named Tater Tot, and the fact that there is a hedge that shares the same name makes me so happy. It was very amusing to hear you describe the plants, and where you put them with the image of my dog in my head. I will definitely be adding a few of those to our property next year, thank you for giving us the information of its existence!
It’s amazing how you transform the desert into a green heaven . I only see desert but I am sure you already see green gardens and water features . I love your passion and your vision .You are so lucky to have this gift … yes I know it’t sweat and pain too but the gift is there.We all love you , you know 🤗
Everything looks like it is coming together Ms Laura and Mr. Aaron. Looking forward to seeing it when it is finished with top soil. Be safe and well. God bless you and yours.
I feel like I'm watching Jack Barnwell take on desert planting with perennial plants. So many new plants to learn about and watch evolve, spaces coming to life, and I'm loving every minute of it.
Why not say you’re watching Laura planting perennials!
How are you doing today Lisa and how is the weather over there
I really like that the south garden. Sounds special to me. You guys are the best with all that beauty and knowledge your videos show how much you care.
Love the name the South Garden, all the planting videos of it… your beautiful drifts planting and showing us how to layer accordingly to the heights of plants is so informative. To cap it all loved the choice of music 🎼 🎵 🎶 to accompany this video… thank you GA team 🥰
How are you doing today Annria and how is the weather over there
Oh yes that powdery white native soil! I live in an area like that too, but grew up in totally different climates. I've never gardened anyway, and for years I was scared to even try in this weird white "soil". There were so many resources for humid or temperate climates, but it felt like I was watching cooking shows and their ingredients were just ones I couldn't get where I live. THANK YOU for showing me how to grow pretty things in this kind of climate, powdery white native soil and all! ❤️
The new garden area is looking wonderful, can't wait to see what it will look like next year. Love seeing all the new plants and shrubs you are adding to the area. Keep the planting videos coming, never get tired of those!
How are you doing today Diane and how is the weather over there
Watching your videos gets me so excited to plan for my garden next year.
How are you doing today Candace and how is the weather over there
Driving on the new grass paths... like a boss 😍👏🏻🙌🏼💕
So excited to see the Senorita Roses come into bloom! Beautiful!
Everything is beautiful. I really like the sunorita rose. TFS
My grandparents church has an addition built in the 70s. They still call it the new side of the church 😄. I thought of that when you were talking about the south garden/new property.
How are you doing today Jackson and how is the weather over there
Good morning....I was almost the first person here. 4 am in California
I love Baptesia. It's one of those really stately-looking native perennials that fit into a formal landscape really well. They have that great vase shape and two tinted leaves with the slight blue and green. They do attract bees when they flower but it's the most bustling plant in the garden. It's mostly just bumblebees that work them because the flowers have to be opened manually by the bee and not all bees are good at that. Butterfly wise they're more of a host plant to a few of the smaller butterflies. So they'll lay eggs on the plant and you'll get the odd caterpillar but nothing that's known to defoliate the plant. I can't say I've ever noticed butterflies on the flowers.
The South Garden sounds like a good fit, for the space. You've gotta reserve "The New Property," for any actual new property, in the potential future. And, I'm loving the new Tater Tot arbs.
What beautiful views today of your new grass areas. So breath taking. Laura. And you planted such beautiful plants today on your new flower areas it was a very inspiring video to. Just love you talking about what your doing in your beautiful garden with lots of excitement in your voice. I am like that in my garden. With new areas and new plants to plant..its such a joy to see how the garden is coming together. Have you done your floor yet on your beautiful hartley.
The amount that you guys have done in the last year is truly astounding!! It would be fun to see some before an after photos of some of the major areas a year apart - maybe as an Instagram post so we could really study them! You should be very proud of all of your hard work. Thanks for sharing with us!
Omg the green grass 😍 I see lots of kite flying out on that front lawn !! 🪁
I love the look you’re going for in the South garden Laura. The grass walkways look really nice 😊
I'm in the process of moving and as of right now i dont have landscape to piddle in... so thanks much for sharing your journey... I've enjoyed watching.. I feel like ive learned so much.. so excited to start planting and designing my new landscape...🌷🌼💐⚘🌻🌹🪴🌳🌿🍁🌱🌲🍂
The South Garden is coming together and looking so good. So exciting to watch you filling in the area. Thank you for sh6
In 1995-96 I planted soil conservation service bur oaks, rocky mtn maples, blue spruce, Saskatoon service berries, and Austrian pines (all between 1-6” tall), and mail ordered Austree whips smaller than my pinky finger in what I call the North Forest and have almost the same plants in a South Forest in their respective North and South Pasture areas. 😂 Hard to see through the forest areas now, 26 yrs later!
So many ideas and choices I've talked my husband into making a flower bed in the middle of our back lawn which get full sun. Need to add some color interest and more flowers to attract the butterflies, bees and birds.
Thanks for including the proper time to cut plants back Would love to see a video when you do this. Thanks
The grass pathways REALLY make the space take shape. I can finally understand what the final vision is and how the space will flow. Question: How are you planning to create and maintain the edges for all of the grass? Is there a tool that will more efficiently do it every year or do you plan to edge by hand?
Nothing like tucking a Tater Tot, I prefer to on a Tuesday at twilight! Love it
