My teen son and I just did this for an elderly neighbor of mine, and as hard as the work was it felt so good. Her gardens are just overgrown because she can’t do the work like she used to. Her kids live across the country so she really doesn’t have any help. I was paid with fresh lemonade, good conversation, and endless wisdom. We’re already planning what she wants to do this spring, I can’t wait! She’s so excited to garden again 😊🌿
Sounds like a great friendship!
What a blessing you must be for her, and what kindness you are teaching your son. It's a win win situation.
What a lovely thing to do. Thank you for caring
Thank y’all 😊
We actually met because we both were robbed by the same person last week. They found her stuff when they found mine. A terrible situation turned out to be a blessing, because we are now building a super sweet friendship. Blessings come in all kinds of disguises 😊
I love that! How very kind you are!
I love seeing your “orange supervisor” stop by from time to time to check in and review all the gardening work!
GA now stands for Ginger Animals lol. Russell, Cheddar and a visit from Gracie🧡🧡🧡
Laura is bit ginger too 👩🏼🦰
Laura is a freakin rockstar!!!!!
You’ve done a staggering amount of work in just one year.
Please tell me that I am not the only one that giggles watching these sped up videos. I keep remembering Aaron saying that Laura works too fast and its impossible to follow her with the camera. Every time she is sped up and multiplies I keep thinking that is her normal speed. LOVE THE DRONE FOOTAGE AARON. It is kinda surreal looking at how much you have done in a short amount of tim' Gpd Bless
Bet Benjamin has a good giggle seeing his mom move really fast and working in three places at the same time!
I can't wait to see how much LESS dust you are going to have once you have ground cover and mature wind breaks. Ahhhh...Awesome 👩🌾👍
I haven't heard about tumbleweeds lately. They used to be plagued by them. Gophers, too.
I used to feel bad for the neighbours then Laura showed the Dust storm footage and I realised the whole area they live in must face dust battles constantly when it's windy.
“We’re going to have help” and Laura proceeds to do the hard part! ❤️
Supervisor Russell says, “ (Sigh). I have to show these humans how to do everything.”
"Whatever is true, whatever is lovely, whatever is good, if there is anything excellent or worthy of praise, think on these things." In these times of constant spewage from so many sources I find myself coming back to this channel for respite. Thank you.
Some mornings when I watch your videos I can’t help but think you’re a crazy lady! I find these videos incredibly motivating to get myself outside and finish what I’ve been putting off
The South Shed is up in the background. When is the video coming. Cannot wait:)
The overhead drone shots were amazing! Absolutely love seeing everything come together! Crazy how different it looks from the beginning of the season! 😍
Hey Laura…I think you missed a spot 🤣 Sorry, I couldn’t resist!
Sad to see the dahlias go, but I look forward to the big dig. It’s always exciting to see how much they have multiplied!
This grass pathway looks like a good go cart track for Benjamin very soon 🤣
I'm just dreading the dahlia storage you'll be doing this year! It will be satisfying but so much work, haha. It's a darn good thing you love what you do! Thanks for sharing everything, Laura. Endlessly helpful to all of us!
I'm dreading storing the one tuber I planted. Beautiful flower, just arrived too late ('Emory Paul'). I may find another variety that blooms earlier.
Beautiful way to mark the seasons~😌🌷🌹🌻🥀🌾🎄🌱
I REALLY wanted to see her dahlia seedlings. Mine grew, not spectacular. Going to leave the ones that I planted in the ground right there in the ground! I'm going to cover them up with some insulation and mulch. We get relatively mild Winters here so why not give it a try plus I planted others in planters and I will try to save those tubers. Yes they created tubers! I really was hoping to learn from Laura but I'm learning on my own and that's okay
The transformation of this new property is just amazing. You guys do such wonderful work. Happy Fall y’all 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🌲
So glad to see you get some help for once👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾every time I watch you doing all that hard work so lovingly, I can‘t help but worry about your back in the long run…
It looks stunning especially from the bird‘s eye view, great job👍🏾
Very true glad someone else thinking the same. Bless her heart she has the hard part of this job for sure. Aaron a lucky man he only has to watch and film. I love her energy and drive to get it done.
@@JL-hw5hu it’s obvious she wouldn’t have it any other way. And I’m sure Aaron is working harder behind the scenes to make sure she keeps enjoying what she does and doesn’t have to worry about anything. They sure make a great team those two.
"South Fork" is looking really nice.
I'm a huge fan of watching lawn mowing channels (yes, I have no life). It IS satisfying. I also enjoy watching arborists cut down gigantic trees.
😂😂 I "have no life" either... Actually busy enough but lawn mowing and these videos are a nice distraction!
It's a great way to learn and also inspire us.
Good evening from Australia 🇦🇺
Good morning from North Carolina, USA 😁
Man, you guys have got to do before and after footage at the end of the year. I just rewatched the vid where you showed this newly purchased property. So much has been accomplished in such a short amount of time!
Good morning, Laura and Benjamin … You have inspired me to garden with my son Jacob!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful day with us 😊
Love, Love, Love the drone shots! Your hard work has paid off. Everything looks AWESOME! xo
Sooooo... a new channel titled Garden Answer Drone shots by Aaron???!!!! They keep getting better and better! Give the people what they want!😄
It looks amazing!! I never noticed your neighbor’s trees this time of year, yellow green yellow green! That’s perfect planning, and I can see why you love the trees yourselves!
yeah, that is using your neighbours landscaping to the fullest
You’re right Laura, edging IS hard work, but very satisfying! The walking paths are beautiful and the entire south garden is amazing! As always, thanks for letting us learn from you as well as laugh, sigh and rejoice with you!
Good morning all have safe warm and blessed day
I love seeing Benjamin out there with you helping his mama💙
That drone footage in Laura's words was "Perfection"
A fresh clean edge is perfect motivation 👌
Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
We woke up to a chilly 63°F and humidity in the low 70%....a brrr day compared with what we've had since July. Happy Gardening everyone 💚
That temp is my perfect weather.
@@dianeweeks352 Hi Diane, This is my perfect weather, too👩🌾👍 I'm a weather Goldilocks, not too hot, not too cold....just right 👍
The finished picture we see in our mind’s eye tends to make us impatient to be done with all the work. At the same time we have to realize how many tasks have to be completed to finish up the entire project. Definitely a case of many hands make light work as you and the guys edged the path. The new spaces are looking so terrific! How beautiful it will be in coming seasons!
Out on the Big Lawn I can picture a nice, huge, shade tree, where the kids can sit & hang with there friends in the summertime, catching a break from riding bikes and exploring the neighborhood. Some of my best memories from being around 10/11 years old was doing just that in our front yard, where my grandmother would bring us some snacks and ice tea 🌳🍎🍇🧃
How about a beech tree?
It'll take generations to grow a tree as large as you're imagining.
@@Edu_Kate not really. The tree that was on my parents front yard was planted in 1970/71. It was huge by the mid 80's when we all use to hang under it. It was a beautiful tree, but use to drop these awful spiked balls in the late fall and all winter. You had to go out every day, for months, to clean them up. My oldest brother moved home to be with our mom about 6 years ago, and had to have the tree removed. The roots were going into her sewer lines and causing issues. Still strange to see it gone.
Thanks Laura and Aaron for another helpful video. Don’t ever underestimate the value in your content! My husband and I own our own business and are doing this exact task today for a customer. Seeing you do it helps motivate and inspire! Keep up the good work.
This was so satisfying…all from the comfort of my recliner while enjoying my cup of coffee…☕️☕️☕️ ☺️
I knew this was an edging video this morning.☺️ In your last several videos, you could hear it in your voice it was getting on your last nerve...LOOKS GREAT!!
Nice and sharp looking!! Always love drone shots!!!
I did this yesterday and thought of Laura! In GA, it’s like trying to edge on Mars!
Having lived in Georgia 48 years I know exactly what you are talking about.
It cracks me up how cold it is out on the west coast. Saturday the high was 85 in NC! But we finally got lows in the 40s this morning.
Those aerial shots ✨🍁💐🍂✨
Good morning, Laura☕️ Dang, that was a huge job! Thank goodness you got help! Aaron, great drone footage! Digging & storing Dahlias is another large undertaking; always something to do! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
2021 has been all about making the transition from city life to country living. Every day you re-convince me that my task list is worth working through for the satisfaction of it! Our property is mirroring yours - forever a work in progress that is coming together yet revealing the next project to be done. It’s endlessly satisfying and inspiring seeing you do you. Much love on this Monday!!
Dido! Moved to 5 acres in the country a year ago this month...her recent zone series was very helpful to me. A true light bulb moment for me!
@@dachsymom5232 Congrats on your move!!
Beautiful! It's starting to look like a golf course :) I have a thought about path width, it's nice to keep it consistently the same width all along so that your mower can make a fixed number of runs the whole way, otherwise he might need to do random back and forward to catch random slivers of wider spaces. In other words, ease of mowing :)
Watching this a few years later and it is so satisfying!!
I almost fell off my chair when you said you have doubled your bulbs to plant this fall!!!! Spring's gonna be breathtaking!!!! You guys are amazing!
Love how the pathways look. Amazing how everything is coming together. All your (you and Aaron) hard work is paying off and looking good. This spring will be so satisfying. Also, how is the flower shed coming? Enjoy your day
What I wouldn't give for just a quarter of Laura's energy!! You may get help with some projects Laura but there is no doubt, your own input is huge! Well done.
I will say it again, Aaron did a great job on sowing the grass!! It looks beautiful!! I told my husband I want to fertilizer our lawn and he looked at me like I was crazy. I might have to sneak and put some on it...lol. please keep the cold weather out there. I hate cold weather!!
Good morning everyone🌾🌾🍂🍂🍁🍁🍂🍂🙂🌅☕
Little Benja-Man in his mini Laura coat!! 😍😍 Love it. And OH so satisfying to see that crisp new edged border!! Great work.
Such an incredibly satisfying job! I know your feet and legs must have hurt the following day! Looks like Benjamin was having a great time with his momma! Cherish those times where you can take a “water break” and chat…he will remember those times! ❤️
Glad you were able to secure some help! Looks like as the sun came out, folks were able to shed some layers. Well done Laura, Aaron and your team…it’s looking gorgeous!
You were right, Laura! What a satisfying project. It was so cool to see the drone footage. The high perspective really shows how the finished product is coming together! So exciting to see. Also, you guys need a dog! 🐶
“Green” with envy over the grass ! So beautiful , great job 🌻💚
Oh, how satisfying that fly-over was ♥ And the first time I saw Laura cutting a deep edge, I immediately got up and redid mine !!! Awesome and amazing ♥
It's such an inviting space you've created! I can just imagine strolling along there to see all of the beautiful plantings. And kids playing on the lawn...what a beautiful life :)
Love the drone footage - it looks for all the world like the Jolly Green Giant left his footprint in your garden! Can't blame him ... I'd love to take an evening stroll around the garden with your sweet family! It looks amazing! Thanks for the deep edge tip - I'm going to give it a try in my yard!
Love it! Every girl is crazy about a sharp dressed man, but those edges, knock it out of the park as being very sharp and tidy! I love sharped dressed edges also. Makes everything complete! Oh, and those Tiger Eye sumac are just amazingly stunning in the landscape.
Have a beautiful week everyone ❤ saludos from Spain 💕 thank you Aaron and Laura for starting the week out with another great video 🥰
There’s nothing like a sharp edge to make a garden looked well-cared for. I can’t believe how much you’ve gotten done in this space this year.
Looks fantastic. Much much better but you make it look so easy. Thanks to Paul and friend also. Of course Benjamin helping too. Thank you so very much for sharing.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Everything is coming together so nicely! I’m curious how much the dust issue has been tampered now that almost everything is mulched? I would assume there isn’t much of an issue anymore no matter how windy it gets. You must be relieved!
Beautiful, Laura! I've pretty much always argued functionality instead of visual impact, but since watching you I've learned that we can have both without too much extra effort while the end result is amazing and very satisfying 🥰
Fill in your bare spots with the sod you are taking out when you edge. No need to reseed. You took out some nice reusable pieces.
The amount of soil, nitrogen and other nutrients they cart off that ground is staggering. Not to mention that beautiful sod! And then they turn around and buy compost and fertilizer in! Smh. It's the one thing they do that really bothers me. Sad really...both their loss and my irritation with it. Their ground, their choice!
@@bethweidner4252 Yup. I agree. I have called it conspicuous consumption. Have not changed my mind. Even packing in plants so tight in a container that most don’t have a chance to mature, then ripping them out for more of the same is a complete waste. The one pot, one plant method made perfect sense, and it was Aaron’s idea.
Would they be able to use the sod they just removed if there aren’t sprinklers set up yet to the area they need to replant? Would it last until the sprinklers are set up?
@@bethweidner4252 If there is no water to the bare areas since they are on another watering zone, which is currently mulch, how would the transplanted sod survive? The geographic area they garden in does not get a lot of rain. Hand watering a few pieces of sod seems time resource intensive. Turning the water on for the zone to hit a few small pieces of sod would waste water as it would mostly water mulch right now.
@@bethweidner4252 doesn’t all that stuff go to their new composting area?
Laura… I love all your videos!! Thank you so much for sharing with us, quite the transformation! P.S. with all due respect- Paul and Jordan are not only wonderful help in your garden but nice eye candy as well!! Nothing to be mad about! 😉😎👩🏻🌾🌿🌷🍁🌺
I’m a local to the Masters golf tournament and those drone shots made me think we were there! The grass pathways and fall interest are world class!
I really enjoy the progression of you new garden rooms, spaces.. beds.. in this video you can see that you’ve done a superb job because the colors of your landscape are amazing especially the trees of your neighbors that are gold and green gold and green I guess coming up the driveway? And some of your new plantings have spectacular color also well done I love your videos I can’t wait to keep watching all of them!!❤️👍🏻🤣🤩
There really are few things as immediately satisfying as edging and mulching. Everything else in the garden we have to wait for, but that is just instant impact!
Laura the machine lady 👌 That looks so awesome, but glad to see even Laura needed some assistance getting that task done! I love the bit of "it's not perfect"...only to Laura's eyes lol! Looks darn spiffy to me 💕🤣
Good morning GA family, Laura is motivating us on this cold morning !!!
I hope you got a nice long soak in a hot bubble bath after all of that!!! The guys were awesome! TYSM for the drone footage, Aaron... it really helps to get the overall picture of everything. It looks GORGEOUS!!!!
I just need Laura for a day to whip my yard in order, she is a gardening machine. Garden is looking great!
So satisfying to watch! I would love to see some compilation videos and drone footage time lapse from when you first got the new space to now! To see everything you’ve accomplished is fabulous!
We're still frost free thus far (I'm on Cape Cod zone 6b/7a depending on who you ask haha) but it's close. I keep putting my meyer lemon out each day tho, as it's big fruit are STILL green, I think they will will have to ripen in my tiny plant room (which does get lovely sun into Winter) I ADORE this time of year. To feel the cooler weather, thinking about putting things to bed (tho I still have daffs and garlic to put in) and dreaming of Christmas and forcing bulbs and scouring the seed catalogs in front of toasty fires on dark Winter's evenings.
Gardening Fills Each of the seasons with hope and I think that is why Gardeners are always young at heart : We're always excited for the next day and planning for tomorrows. Thank you Laura and all you start our day and then we all head out to work in our own gardens :)
I'm out near Worcester in zone 5b and it's chilly today! I, too, have daffs left to plant :) I also very much agree with your sentiment: we're always excited for the next day and planning for tomorrow. The joy of gardening!
@@melaniebolduc6148
Daffodils are easy to plant. I gave up on tulips. Too much work for a brief moment of beauty. Daffs keep giving and giving. I just don't care for their dying foliage we have to look at while they absorb solar energy. That's why we plant annuals.
@@melaniebolduc6148 I learned my love of gardening from my Grandfather, who lived a LONG time and he always told me "As long as there are gardens to plan, seeds to plant , flowers to smell or fruit to pick there is joy in tomorrow" And I always hold that in my thoughts.
Wow I guess the zones really are different as you move towards the East of good ole' MA.
@@Edu_Kate I totally agree and I gave up on tulips as well, tho mine was due to the fact that between the deer, squirrels and chipmunks (I even caught a skunk digging them up) it wasn't worth it. As daffs are deadly poison I believe they ALL leave them alone and the naturalize so wonderfully. I'm going to try some of the more exotic bloom type daffs this Autumn there seems to be so many variety now.
Haha, that little smile when you said the 28 degrees will pretty much button up the cut flower garden: I know that feeling! Toward the end of the season where you're trying to keep things as nice looking as you can, but you're kinda ready for it to be done. Different scale for you guys, and your two plus months of well over 100 degree temps, but same idea. It's OK for things to die now!
It’s amazing how fast this season went. Seems like only a short time ago the seeds were going into the ground, and now it’s already time to clear the land.
Kudos Aaron for wanting to go with grass paths. It really ties everything together. Gravel would of been overkill and the lush green is so calming to the eyes
Ooh, aah, your grass pathways look outstandingly nice. So beautiful. You should be proud of your beautiful place!
Hello from the PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭
Whew! Hard work = great borders. Really like & enjoy the ariel views of what all is becoming!🤗
Ooo looks sooo pretty and sharp. The trees in the bark area is blending in to the borrowed landscape beautifully. What a difference a year makes!!
I "had" an acre of land but can't imagine all the dedication and motivation you have...
God bless you and your family...
Good morning all!
Every step makes such a huge difference! Laura I shae your enthusiasm! 👋👍 Spectacular job and vision for the future projects! I'm excited for all of it!
Good for you Laura get some men behind a shovel. Benjamin is 3 or 4 and he is out there to help you! What a grand guy Benjamin is already.
GOOD MORNING BENJAMIN 👋 I See u have been a Good Boy Helping Mommy all the time! Good Job Buddy!
Looks amazing! Zone 4a northern Wisconsin & have not had a killing frost yet this fall. It has been an exceptionally warm fall this year. I'll take it as our winter's are long & cold!
Not many things are better than fresh clean edges and freshly fluffed mulch beds! Nice work!
Benjamin kills me with the cuteness
I have a project in my yard it's very similar but not nearly as large as this. Thank you for the inspiration. I am 69 and by myself and still plugging at it and feeling good about it
I am so impressed. I wish I could do in a week what you can do in a day. What an inspiration you are!
All the animals just love Laura! She's the plant and animal whisperer! 😂
So nice to see the trees changing colors
At the beginning of the season I couldn't quite picture what you were describing for the South garden but I believed in you! Now it's all starting to come together and I can really picture the end product you are working towards. You can bet I'll be here following along for as long as you are sharing your journey!
The edging was so satisfying to watch but oh my those Sumac are the star of that area, I would have to have more of those 😍
We do our grass this way at our house and we call it a crusty edge. The edge stays just dry and crusty enough to keep the grass from sending out runners into the flower beds. I'm loving how this space is turning out!
Always look forward to seeing you. You work so hard. I know you love it. But please take care of yourself. Make sure to get your rest too.
Laura, I know that edging the grass pathway was very physically taxing, however, you have no idea how watching you do that motivated me to go out and do my own. It’s sort of feels like you’re not alone in your misery! I appreciate you showing us all of your projects, even those that aren’t as glamorous. Keep up the great work! You are creating a beautiful oasis in the middle of the desert! ❤️❤️❤️
What a difference the edging made in the before and after drone footage! Even with help, I’m amazed at how much progress y’all made this year. So fun to watch it all come together. 😍
So much work, but sooo nice to have it finished nicely!! It's cool, because it kind of looks like one of those cancer ribbons from overhead. ❤️😍
Omg, what a difference!! I hope you don't regret grass around your garden
Lots of work but great results! Makes such a difference
Hi I watch your channel too especially about taking care of roses
THANKS! for showing the trimmer edging - I've been maintaining my edges by hand pulling! Yours is a waaaay better method!
You are so blessed to have help....looking good....my garden will never have a perfect edge.....
Morning coffee, Laura on my phone & a chill in the air here on the bluffs of the Mississippi River in Vicksburg! What an AWESOME way to begin the week & my Monday morning!!! It looks better with every little & large project in the South Garden you all! - Laura, Aaron, Benjamin & Paul! By spring, it’s going to be jaw dropping gorgeous as life comes back to the property following the cold winter temps! Have a great week!! ❤️😍🥰
I’m just north of you in Memphis and we finally got cool weather over the weekend!! Laura is such an inspiration 😊
@@BridgetWeedon know Memphis (born there actually) & surrounding North MS well - originally from Cleveland (educated & taught at Delta State University in Cleveland MS).
