Yes, that's what I'd do too, or at least start cuttings to be ready to go in next Spring....but I'm not reliant on creating TH-cam content for my income. Have to generate those clicks to appease the TH-cam overlords.
@@loloholmes2793I don't understand the relevance of the last part of your comment. A small series on propagating some trees plus how to prune the sumac would bring in clicks and ad revenue.
@@RTCPhotoWork While i agree that an entire tree propagating series would be great for revenue, the idea of putting in something that would just be set-to-run as wide as it wants would take up valuable real estate for other projects, too. Though, reality being, pulling the tree back in both the south garden and the 'dust garden' (Benjamin is so cute) is also good content. Whatever they choose, I know I'll be enjoying and watching. :)
Just want to give a shout out to Ken for the awesome job he does editing your videos - including the music he adds …just the right thing in just the right places. Thanks Ken!!
In April we bought 6 large Wax Myrtles from a local nursery. Had them deliver and plant them. They were planted at ground level. We then bought 6 more from the same nursery. Had them delivered but this time, to save money, we planted them. We planted them high. Not because we thought that was the right thing to do but because we planted after work, we were tired, got lazy, and the mosquitoes were starting to come out. Guess which 6 shrubs are doing better than the other 6? The ones WE planted!
It’s really huge!! Who else paused the video at 2:24 when the drone shot went up and took it all in when Aaron said 3-acres…am I the only one? 😮🥰 Love it and can’t wait to see it all fill in!🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳
The joy on Laura's face when she said that we've seen the first trees planted on the new property was absolutely wonderful. May each and every one of us feel the same joy in our gardens!
I am retired & have RA. Some mornings I am such pain, but your sweet voice is so soothing it helps me . I love you interaction with Aaro & your patience with your precious little ones. Thank you for making my mornings more tolerable. God bless you!
Maybe think of the new property as having woods and a trail? Let things be more natural, let the leaves stay where they fall, etc. Could be so nice and pretty
What a glorious way to begin my day...seeing and hearing little Benjamin. His speaking is clear and so cute. And then getting the added treat of seeing Samantha helping Mom and Dad! What could be more perfect.
Congratulations 🎉 on breaking ground on the new property! 🎉 The kiddos will remember this moment and wonder how cool it was to be part of this family history.
I love that Laura gets sooooo excited about planting trees! You'd think after all they've done on this gorgeous property that some of the excitement might have worn off but no, it's still exciting. And that enthusiasm rubs off on all of us out in TH-cam land!!!! I can't wait to be part of the development of this new garden!!!🌲🌳🌲
Loved watching everyone participate and work together for the common good. Benjamin put a smile on my face with creating a dust garden and Samantha kicking those pesky shoes off to walk around in the dirt with her make-up in hand. 17:5118:0018:0118:02 Aaron and Laura your such good parents encouraging the Littles every step of the way. Loved the video ❤
So I love the idea of mirroring the driveway that goes through the south garden into the newest property! It will really bring everything together and make your entire property into a *whole*!! 💕
Love hearing your conversations with your kids. It reminds me of when my children were young. Then I reminisce conversations I've had with my kids. Thank you for including them in your videos.
Some berms would be nice for that wooded walking area and maybe some big rocks. It would feel more secret, like a hike. Perfect for all those gorgeous trees you will be planting.
What a nice opportunity to have a wildflower/ grasses meadow on the new property. It will attract a lot of pollinators and wildlife. Even just a section of the property. It's low maintenance and maybe need mowing once or twice a year. Have everything re-seed and throw seeds around. I think that would be beautiful. Great progress and hard work...thank you!
Love watching the kids help you in the garden. Have you ever considered a playhouse for the kids. I could imagine one tucked in with window boxes and a cute pathway. Enjoy the day.
I see a lot of people suggesting horses. As a lifelong horse owner- make sure it’s a passion before you take the leap. They require a ton of work and money. Vet bills are a fortune. Hay is hard to source these days, sometimes costing 13-15$ a bale and you have to have 1/2-3/4 bale per horse per day and store all of it for the whole season bc hay growers won’t store. So be ready to build hay barn too. Manure-50# per day per horse so a lot more than you can compost so have to pay for haul off. Have to own two bc herd animals. Just the last two weeks I’ve had one colic and one with kick injury - 2200$ vet bills. When it’s feet of snow… you still have to feed and muck stalls. I love it but have been doing it for forty five years. I see so many people think it’s “fun” and then back out when it gets rough or expensive and horses end up on Craigslist/auction which means they go to feedlots unfortunately.
Thank you for this comment...you are absolutely correct in "this is the reality" accessment. People think gardening is physically demanding & challenging...owning livestock is much more so & its year round!! Takes an owner who's passionate about the animals wellbeing.
I absolutely agree. Not to mention, the end of life decisions and experience. It's horrible. I will never own another horse even though they are wonderful.
☕️A new start for another part of the property known as “dirt land” LOL! Good one Benjamin and Samantha Grace💚. Can’t wait to watch it evolve. Enjoy a great day everyone z🍁🍂🌻🧡
I love seeing Benjamin and Samantha helping to dig the hole! Your children are the exact age of my daughters children, and I love it so much when they are here to help with projects and gardening🥰
Please do not put the barn at the back of the pasture. As a life long horse owner, you will really regret that. The best place would be where your high tunnel is now. In addition, I remember you have walnut trees back there - black walnut is extremely poisonous to horses. In fact, they can founder just from standing on a tiny amount of wood shavings with black walnut. This happened to a boarding barn in my area - some horses died and several foundered. You want to keep a close eye on your horses in case they get sick (which can happen very quickly if they colic).
I agree keep the stable as close as possible for easy access. Also two pastures that can be rotated are better than one big one. I have ponies (mostly Welsh) and am slowly building a garden landscape, many plants aren't good for them so just have to be mindful of what they have in their general area that they may be able to reach
Oh how I love seeing the whole family participating!! What a blessing ❤ I love seeing this process. Thank you guys for sharing so much of yourselves with us!! 🪴 🌲 🌳 🌸
Great to see the grounds transform into a wonderful garden. I have been a GA fan for four years.. or was it three? Anyway, it was one year pre-Samantha era 😊 Back then the South Garden was the dust pan. Laura marking the dirt grounds with her feet, designing the garden grounds as we see it today. Laura and Aaron get an ‘A+’ for execution. Looking forward to seeing the New Property transform into a magical woody park!
It warms my heart watching your family making memories together. I like the thought of the barn but I also thought of adding to that a small ranch home for visiting family and friends. You are long term planners, if this truly is your forever home, this could be a place for yourself or aging parents when you no longer want to be walking up and down stairs.
Beautiful Vlog! Heartwarming when Samantha takes her shoes off to work in the garden and when Ben shares his willingness to dig a hole or share his garden wisdom with others. Blessed are we who garden with our family. ❤
I enjoyed watching your garden progress, your input as a couple, Laura and Aaron… and as a family, for your future. Your horticultural knowledge and experience is invaluable and inspiring… thank you! PS I can totally relate to Samantha Grace and her taking off her shoes… because gardening, whilst barefoot, is one of life’s bliss moments!
I would love for you to bring us through the garden and look at different areas for four seasons of interest. Reviewing the plants you had or what you needed to achieve this would be extremely helpful.
I got to watch you plant those first rows of trees on both sides of your lane..and now seeing you planting the first trees on the new property….exciting!!! Can’t wait to see what is to come!!! 👍💕👍
So exciting to see you guys planting trees on the newest property. My garden is coming along thanks to y’all. Laura you are such an inspiration to me! My day begins with “Garden Answer” and I absolutely love the introduction to those garden tour videos. Thanks for helping make my gardens beautiful too! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🥂
Love the trees on the new property, creating a wooded area will be beautiful. Watching Benjamin and Samantha helping in thedirt is so cute, they love helping mom and dad. love the purpink lilac bush also the size is perfect.
Laura and Aaron...you are creating a little piece of heaven on earth right before our eyes! I absolutely LOVE the drone shots, especially enjoyed the one today (had to pause to take it all in) and the September garden tour (1&2) beginning drone footage set to music. True inspiration on a daily basis...thank you!
I hope you will consider planting fruit- and nut-bearing trees in this forest that you're developing. I love food forests and it would be so fun to learn from you in this process.
THAT is a great idea! Unfortunately, these two take a very western view of owning fruit trees, so I am guessing they'd do the same with nut trees...I can see Laura not wanting anything "messy."
Would love to see you do what your mom did in their old orchard with the grass and cosmos. And i love the idea of this thick border of trees. Like planting a wooded area. So much fun for the kids to play in. Build a fort...
You know what this means...more tree shopping dates for Laura & Aaron! And I'm wondering if horses will eventually come with the new barn? 🐎🐎🐎There's been talk through the years! 😉
I would definitely have horses if it we me. They are a lot of work and expensive, though. But I can imagine these guys getting a lot of family fun going for horseback rides.
Hi @peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920 I'm in the same zone in FL. Sometimes I love a plant or tree Laura raves about & come to find it isn't able to take our tropical climate...a few zones off, not even close! They are motivating, aren't they?😉 Good luck with your garden.🍓🍊🍋🍌🍅
@dianegougelet1829 Hi Diane, Where about are you in 9b? Windermere is by Winter Garden or Orlando. I agree that I see a tree or plant that I "need: in my garden, only to find it's too hot in zone 9. Take care ❤️Peggy❤️
I really appreciate the drone shots that Aaron has begun incorporating into the vlogs. I went back to 2:24 and just studied the overhead view of their property. It was really helpful to get reoriented with where everything is on the property and to see the magic they make transforming each section they acquire. Beautiful!
Always fun to watch you guys planting trees! I don’t have that much space to grow as many trees as I would like so your video is just like dreams come true to me! 😊❤
I love seeing Benjamin getting in there and working with you guys. I hope you showed him how beautiful his plants looked on the tour. You should give them each a little area where they can decide what to plant and you can walk them through decisions !
I remember your first prune of the old lilac, right after you moved in. I was already addicted to Garden Answer.. After that... Well I haven't missed a single video. So looking forward to more.
It’s always special when Benjamin and Samantha help you in the gardens. What a joy! The trees look good out there. Is that going to be the Pasture or Pasture Garden?
Two summers ago, I planted a autumn blaze maple. I planted it’s similarly. The reason being is our property is moist most of the time. With planting it higher, the root ball and the roots did not drown in the water. This summer we’ve had nothing but rain since the end of May. That tree has done the best of all of trees we planted. It has actually tripled in size. And has the most amazing fall color. So I think your trees gonna do just fine the way it’s planted. 12:09 I love how Amanda just jumped in the hold help. So cute. Future Gardener in training. We just discovered the reason why Amanda sleep so well. She is constantly grounding. Her not wearing her shoes is the best thing for her. She’s taking up the energy from mother earth.
Hi guys!! Exciting first plantings!!! I’m curious about how much gardening knowledge Aaron had when you started your TH-cam journey. He always seems to be just as knowledgeable as Laura. He can give his opinions and fully back them up. Love watching you guys!!
Laura, how very exciting!! I would love to see a dedicated “winter garden” in that space, full of things that are gorgeous in winter! Bressingham Gardens in UK is a wonderful place for inspiration. Can’t wait to see what you make of this space!
I share your love of planting many, many trees, and am beyond thrilled in anticipation of watching this project unfold over time. I just know you'll be creating a magical forest. It was great to see your whole family at work, especially Samantha jumping right into the hole being dug. Many blessings to you and yours, you bring us such joy and knowledge with each and every video. 💞💖
Laura, how many plants, that you have, without buying more, could you plant before the first frost? Just when I think you are done, here comes more trees! 😆😊 It is so fun to watch the kids help. Aaron worked that tractor like a pro!
Such a great plan for your beautiful new land. If you do the barn….two words-sleeping deck. If you have a gable roof on the back, toward the babbling ditch, an exterior wall, pulled about 15’ under the roof’s protection, with decking out to where the exterior wall below is, and on the second story,……soooo peaceful and fun. There’s nothing like it.
Good morning Laura and family!!! Such a sweet video with the children helping out. Maybe since you still have much to plant in the south garden and up front where you are going to redo the grrass area that will keep your mind off perennials in the dust garden. We will see.....hugs from N.C..❤
Wow Benjamin! That ginger snap must have given you energy this day. You were the hardest worker. You caught up to your dad. No! You PASSED him😃 💪🏻go Benjamin !
It’s amazing how you always start off with a couple of trees and then it’s full garden mode lol , I can’t wait to see the beautiful lilacs bloom next spring .Hopefully you’ll get you’re horses Laura ❤
I love seeing the whole family involved in planting. Hopefully you are taking photos so in a few years they can see how big the trees are that they heped plant.😊
I’m so happy for to be able to expand let your heart sing with the trees, plants, and flowers with your family. We’re cheering you on girl! You a superhero in the gardening world. 😊
Good morning! More land to plant. I like the idea of a pasture with horses and a barn. I think that would be a good idea and just have the trees on it. It’ll be fun to see how this space evolves!!
I can only imagine the amount of money and generational wealth that goes into a property like this, not to mention the staff to upkeep the property. Actually incredible
They don't have generational wealth. They worked their butts off. Go back and watch how they started. Both worked full time plus jobs, then came home and worked on making videos. Most people with money worked very hard and smartly to acquire it.
@@kellieleahy66 Yeah, I mostly meant if they started working at her family's store then their family probably grew up with a lot of land right. Doesn't mean they didnt work hard but this is a huge estate
@Meaganttv Aaron didn't work at Andrew's. Laura did. Her parents have a modest amount of property. Her dad worked at Andrew's as a teen and ended up buying it with a business partner. Their "wealth" was built over time but wasn't generational. Laura and Aaron don't own a lot of land, actually. They have just packed a lot onto the land they own. It's probably 10 acres or less. If you go back and watch from the first season, you'll get a better glimpse of their lives. It is incredible what focus, hard work, and dedication can produce.
You could dig up that Tiger Eye Sumac and move it to the new property where it could take up as much room as it could want.
Yes, that's what I'd do too, or at least start cuttings to be ready to go in next Spring....but I'm not reliant on creating TH-cam content for my income. Have to generate those clicks to appease the TH-cam overlords.

Every time I planted a shrub this year I heard Aaron’s voice in my head “plant it high it won’t die, plant it low it won’t grow “😂
It is my new favorite expression!!!
In April we bought 6 large Wax Myrtles from a local nursery. Had them deliver and plant them. They were planted at ground level.
We then bought 6 more from the same nursery. Had them delivered but this time, to save money, we planted them. We planted them high. Not because we thought that was the right thing to do but because we planted after work, we were tired, got lazy, and the mosquitoes were starting to come out.

It’s really huge!! Who else paused the video at 2:24 when the drone shot went up and took it all in when Aaron said 3-acres…am I the only one? 😮🥰 Love it and can’t wait to see it all fill in!🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳
I had to rewind and pause 😂
I did the same. 😅
OH YEAH! i PAUSES AND DID THE REWIND - TO TAKE IT ALL IN!
Me too. It was really helpful for perspective!
Absolutely paused & rewind a few times 😂😂
The joy on Laura's face when she said that we've seen the first trees planted on the new property was absolutely wonderful. May each and every one of us feel the same joy in our gardens!
Benjamin's grin and enthusiastic nod when you asked him if he thought his dad had the hole dug was the best. He is such a cute helper.
We aren’t going to be doing much at all on this new property…high tunnel, veggie garden and two trees later, it begins. I like how y’all think!💛🌳💛
And don't forget the walking paths! I wonder how much walking she does after a day of planting! I'll be exhausted!😂
I came here to say this too - made me giggle when I saw the title! I'm excited to see what all they do over there too though!
❤❤❤
I love seeing families working together ... it's so wholesome.
I am retired & have RA. Some mornings I am such pain, but your sweet voice is so soothing it helps me . I love you interaction with Aaro & your patience with your precious little ones. Thank you for making my mornings more tolerable. God bless you!
Samantha taking her shoes off=bare foot grounding=wisdom! You go girl!!!🌎
You both are so excited. To see you unwrapping the tree and the kids "digging in the hole, helping". So sweet.
Maybe think of the new property as having woods and a trail? Let things be more natural, let the leaves stay where they fall, etc. Could be so nice and pretty
Especially leave it natural along the water source. Surely there are some critters living there who do not want to be displaced.
Miss Samantha with a shovel digging hole was too adorable. Such a lovely family ❤❤
What a glorious way to begin my day...seeing and hearing little Benjamin. His speaking is clear and so cute. And then getting the added treat of seeing Samantha helping Mom and Dad! What could be more perfect.
How sweet to see both children helping dig the hole! Lovely family!!!!❤

I just love when the family is working together. So heartwarming!!!
Yes!!! A mini forest would be fabulous! I can’t wait to see this develop! Aaron, I can see your tree series now!
Love watching the kids help you in the garden. Have you ever considered a playhouse for the kids. I could imagine one tucked in with window boxes and a cute pathway. Enjoy the day.
Benjamin is learning so much he’s going to be a great gardener
'I could turn the pressure down. Or I could just plant more things.' Haha. Love it. Problem solving Laura style!
Learning lots from Laura and Aaron on how to plant young trees!!❤🥰
So nice seeing the little ones digging for that tree-what a great way for them to grow up and learn about planting, etc. ❤

I would start off with a couple of small donkeys for the kids. Let them decide if they have the interest and work ethic needed for raising livestock.
I absolutely agree. Not to mention, the end of life decisions and experience. It's horrible. I will never own another horse even though they are wonderful.
☕️A new start for another part of the property known as “dirt land” LOL! Good one Benjamin and Samantha Grace💚. Can’t wait to watch it evolve. Enjoy a great day everyone z🍁🍂🌻🧡

As do I also hopes she sees this comment.... if you've ever seen a horse die from colic, very traumatic
I agree keep the stable as close as possible for easy access.
Also two pastures that can be rotated are better than one big one.
I have ponies (mostly Welsh) and am slowly building a garden landscape, many plants aren't good for them so just have to be mindful of what they have in their general area that they may be able to reach
I’m watching this a day late. The next day they planted an oak tree and the acorns can harm horses if they eat too much.
Also, Choke Cherry (wild cherry). You want the barn up front, and have easy access for vet and farrier. In an emergency, time is critical.
Yay...Aaron has an area on the property!!! We get to see his vision.
Oh how I love seeing the whole family participating!! What a blessing ❤
I love seeing this process. Thank you guys for sharing so much of yourselves with us!! 🪴 🌲 🌳 🌸
Samantha and Benjamin are so cute.I love watching them dig and plant.
They are so blessed with good parents and family.❤❤❤❤

I love those trees!! It’s so nice to see the kids out planting with you. They will have a wealth of knowledge in gardening.
How about a small pine forest or a woodland. I think you need something different to the South Garden for interest.
And so it begins! From two trees to a magnificent garden!💕
Beautiful Vlog!
Heartwarming when Samantha takes her shoes off to work in the garden and when Ben shares his willingness to dig a hole or share his garden wisdom with others.

Forts are the most exciting things for littles!!!

Even with all the help they have how would they have the time to take care of horses?
Get a small donkey for the kids. Our donkeys were just big loving dogs, more stable and hardy. Perfect for teaching kids animal husbandry.
I'm betting on yes.
L & A could hire help for the horses. They have it all planned out ahead of time. @@shirleysenkler781

I really appreciate the drone shots that Aaron has begun incorporating into the vlogs. I went back to 2:24 and just studied the overhead view of their property. It was really helpful to get reoriented with where everything is on the property and to see the magic they make transforming each section they acquire. Beautiful!
Loved watching your little helpers get right in there and help dig!
I love that the kids "helped" ...so cute!!
Always fun to watch you guys planting trees! I don’t have that much space to grow as many trees as I would like so your video is just like dreams come true to me! 😊❤
I love seeing Benjamin getting in there and working with you guys. I hope you showed him how beautiful his plants looked on the tour. You should give them each a little area where they can decide what to plant and you can walk them through decisions !
I remember your first prune of the old lilac, right after you moved in. I was already addicted to Garden Answer.. After that... Well I haven't missed a single video. So looking forward to more.
Good morning GA friends! I love this video because I am so excited to see the first trees planted in the new property!
It’s always special when Benjamin and Samantha help you in the gardens. What a joy! The trees look good out there. Is that going to be the Pasture or Pasture Garden?
Two summers ago, I planted a autumn blaze maple. I planted it’s similarly. The reason being is our property is moist most of the time. With planting it higher, the root ball and the roots did not drown in the water. This summer we’ve had nothing but rain since the end of May. That tree has done the best of all of trees we planted. It has actually tripled in size. And has the most amazing fall color. So I think your trees gonna do just fine the way it’s planted.
12:09 I love how Amanda just jumped in the hold help. So cute. Future Gardener in training.
We just discovered the reason why Amanda sleep so well. She is constantly grounding. Her not wearing her shoes is the best thing for her. She’s taking up the energy from mother earth.
Hi guys!! Exciting first plantings!!! I’m curious about how much gardening knowledge Aaron had when you started your TH-cam journey. He always seems to be just as knowledgeable as Laura. He can give his opinions and fully back them up. Love watching you guys!!
Laura, how very exciting!! I would love to see a dedicated “winter garden” in that space, full of things that are gorgeous in winter! Bressingham Gardens in UK is a wonderful place for inspiration. Can’t wait to see what you make of this space!
I share your love of planting many, many trees, and am beyond thrilled in anticipation of watching this project unfold over time. I just know you'll be creating a magical forest. It was great to see your whole family at work, especially Samantha jumping right into the hole being dug. Many blessings to you and yours, you bring us such joy and knowledge with each and every video. 💞💖
Laura, how many plants, that you have, without buying more, could you plant before the first frost? Just when I think you are done, here comes more trees! 😆😊 It is so fun to watch the kids help. Aaron worked that tractor like a pro!
Such a great plan for your beautiful new land. If you do the barn….two words-sleeping deck. If you have a gable roof on the back, toward the babbling ditch, an exterior wall, pulled about 15’ under the roof’s protection, with decking out to where the exterior wall below is, and on the second story,……soooo peaceful and fun. There’s nothing like it.
You guys are so blessed. What a life for two little ones. And you two are much more together than I am. Great job, have a great day.
More places to plant. You are definitely in your Glory. Love the idea about maybe having a barn on this side. It would look so good.
I agree. A barn out there is an excellent idea and would bring cohesion to the property.
Absolutely love the idea of a barn and pasture, not to mention what you can do with that plant wise.
Ooh ooh ooh! barn and pasture! For Samantha’s pony? Looooove it
Good morning Laura and family!!! Such a sweet video with the children helping out. Maybe since you still have much to plant in the south garden and up front where you are going to redo the grrass area that will keep your mind off perennials in the dust garden. We will see.....hugs from N.C..❤
Wow Benjamin! That ginger snap must have given you energy this day. You were the hardest worker. You caught up to your dad. No! You PASSED him😃
💪🏻go Benjamin !
It’s amazing how you always start off with a couple of trees and then it’s full garden mode lol , I can’t wait to see the beautiful lilacs bloom next spring .Hopefully you’ll get you’re horses Laura ❤
Them precious babies learning at such a young age. What sweet memories 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️🌲🌳🌲🌳
So excited for you and feeling yours and your happiness 🎉love seeing the four of you sharing in your excitement ❤
How exciting for ya'll and for US!! Thanks for taking us along on this journey ❤
I love seeing the whole family involved in planting. Hopefully you are taking photos so in a few years they can see how big the trees are that they heped plant.😊
I’m so happy for to be able to expand let your heart sing with the trees, plants, and flowers with your family. We’re cheering you on girl! You a superhero in the gardening world. 😊
The children having a blast helping mom and dad how cute.
Aaron has that Tree Glow on his face!! His mind is ruining on high when you say the word Trees! The Dusty Tree Area sounds perfect !
Good morning, Everyone!!
Good morning! More land to plant. I like the idea of a pasture with horses and a barn. I think that would be a good idea and just have the trees on it. It’ll be fun to see how this space evolves!!
I can only imagine the amount of money and generational wealth that goes into a property like this, not to mention the staff to upkeep the property. Actually incredible
They don't have generational wealth. They worked their butts off. Go back and watch how they started. Both worked full time plus jobs, then came home and worked on making videos. Most people with money worked very hard and smartly to acquire it.
@@kellieleahy66 Yeah, I mostly meant if they started working at her family's store then their family probably grew up with a lot of land right. Doesn't mean they didnt work hard but this is a huge estate
@Meaganttv Aaron didn't work at Andrew's. Laura did. Her parents have a modest amount of property. Her dad worked at Andrew's as a teen and ended up buying it with a business partner. Their "wealth" was built over time but wasn't generational.
Laura and Aaron don't own a lot of land, actually. They have just packed a lot onto the land they own. It's probably 10 acres or less. If you go back and watch from the first season, you'll get a better glimpse of their lives.
It is incredible what focus, hard work, and dedication can produce.
Very exciting to see trees going in on the newest property. Love your videos and hope you all have a wonderful day.
Love to seeing more green on the newest property.
