Crazy to watch this three years later and realize how much you have accomplished in such a short time. No privets, new boxwood hedges everywhere, West side moon garden, both walks on the West side, chicken coop and so much more. And I didn't even mention the new property! It's absolutely amazing!!! Get do much pleasure just watching your videos with my morning coffee.
I am loving watching this old video everything that you said you wanted to do has come together beautifully! The chicken coop, vegetable garden, walkways etc it is amazing how you have transformed the place! Love your videos!
I so need this video now - to give me hope that our boxwood and arborvitae might survive the last two snow storms this month. They all have been weighed down by the snow, and still are!
Hi Miss Laura! How exciting to see the snow almost gone. Hopefully the snow we get this weekend will be the last....Can't blame a girl for dreaming. lol! Is Dexter ok? I was waiting for him to run up to you throughout the whole tour. Everything looks great and I can't wait to see what you dream up, especially in the vegetables garden. Anyhoo, thank you for sharing and have a blessed weekend! ♡♡♡
Thank you for this fun video Laura, I can't wait to see what you do with this!! OMYGOD if I had all this GORGEOUS and open land I would plant Cherry Blossom trees, hydrangeas, roses, gerbera daisies, colorful coleuses, etc., and butterfly gardens everywhere and with that greenhouse, BEAUTIFUL Orchids and all colorful succulents!!
I’m in agreement with so many others.... From looking at the drone shots you don’t have a lot of green grass spots. Keep it as a play area. Babies stay babies for such a short time. Running and playing in that beautiful open grass I guarantee will be a favorite activity!
I just love your garden ! Even in the state it's in its fantastic. Makes me excited to see how it shapes up in the next few weeks. Great transformation to come.
Yay! I'm a new subscriber and I'm so excited to watch your monthly garden tours. Great idea on your part to show how all the annuals and perennials behave through the course of a year. Really love your enthusiasm for gardening, your genuine personality, and want to give many thanks for your videos. I wish you lots of happy gardening!
I love your videos. Can’t wait to get out in my yard this spring, it February now and I’m counting the days down. I could spend all day watching but housework calls.
This is SO exciting! And I'm very surprised how quickly it warmed up out by you. I'm on the Catskills in Upstate NY and we got 2 feet of snow this week and some more today. I can not wait to start planting outside. I have dwarf pines and lilacs and burning bushes among other things that are doing beautifully and popping green everywhere but I'm afraid that if I wait much longer they're not gonna do as well. Anyway, I'm very excited about all the videos I know are coming from you teaching us all this wonderful stuff! Thank you!
WOW Hard to believe the change from snow back to this Hated to see your beautiful plants damaged , know you will have it beautiful in no time I think you have just been given the opportunity to use a lot of your ideas. We will be seeing a lot of videos YES! ps You gave me a great idea on using the cement blocks to plant flowers around a patio space. tks
Great tour...amazing how quickly the snow disappeared...good luck this season on what looks like a very full plate...and thanks for the duct tape discussion, a nice way to "seal" the tour!...liked!
Try putting in some Cleveland Select Pear trees when you take out some of those oaks or a Crimson King Maple to replace something. They both have awesome foliage plus with the pears you get white flowers in spring!
Love all that space to plant stuff in! I vote in favour of the hummingbird and butterfly garden over the Vlad the Impaler garden. I have 5 hydrangeas in my tiny yard. Tfs!
oh, I can see the ground!! all our snow melted almost a month ago...and I'm so glad it's gone!! lol...i can't wait to see your Arbor Vitae's put in. I would love to see how you hedge your boxwoods and how you remove your trees...I'm never sure how Manny and I can go about it. I have a maple Tree some dummy planted next to the house about 8"from the kitchen window!!! we need to remove that one so please share when you remove your shrubs and trees. thanks for sharing Laura, Jules☺
Wow what a difference a month makes! I am so excited to watch all the new plans you have and their progress. I never had to deal with gophers and I was so worried that something was going to bite you when you were digging around in there lol. tfs Mimi
Amazing!! I'm in burlington Ontario and it's snowing right now. So sad. I am desperate to get outside too and do some landscaping. Can't wait for spring cleanup video.
Just a thought for your concrete, how about putting rock aggregate on it. The concrete and brick would make a great base and the topping would be beautiful, along with natural look. We have it around our pool. Love it hope you might as well.
I'm in Canada... still have lots off snow but it's finally melting! my home looks like a greenhouse from all the seedling from starting! lol desperate for spring!🌸🌺🌻🌸🌻🌸🌻🌺🌸
Thank you! You sound just like nMe when I tour m yard in the early March! It makes me feel soooo normal! My husband thinks I am nuts! Thank you for your wonderful videos! I am pumped to continue my ideas and dreams! Gardening Hugs! JoniS. 😁🌺❤️😁🌺❤️
Try using a torch on your weeds instead of chemicals. And I am sure you will be mindful of the shadows that the hedge will cast on your vegetable garden.
Wow that is a lot of yard to work. And snow, I have never lived in the snow area, I would be completely lost on how to keep a garden during the snow months. It's beautiful though, and living the dream. btw, I have not seen a gopher since I was a child but I remember my dad used to flood them out with a hose. I don't know how that would work for you, you could trap them if you find the other ends. I do love your videos, I only just found you recently. You have inspired me to do a small patio water feature with plants as soon as I can find a nice container. much love Jb
I would love to see video of the oak trees going down...it looks like whole day of work. My neighbors got one oak tree and the leaves just go flying EVERYWHERE over our garden :-D
Someone has probably mentioned this already but if you use a salt-free ice melt, it won't ruin your concrete and has the added benefit of being safer for the environment and animals. I usually buy one marketed for pets because I guess it's bad for dogs to be walking around on the traditional rock salt and licking it off their feet all winter. I'm sure there are other alternatives that you could get in larger quantities (I have a lot less area to cover than you, I live in a townhouse condo! lol). Unfortunately, what I've found around here at pet stores or the supermarket (so probably Home Depot and the like) is pretty pricey in comparison to the regular stuff. But maybe when you add in all your time, paint, effort, etc for the damage control you'll be doing, it's worth it? I don't know...something worth looking into for next year though!
"Every place that I have a dead something or a dying something, I always think 'I want to put a hydrangea there.'" - Laura 2017 "Just give me hydrangeas and boxwoods and everything will be fine." - Laura 2019 Nothing has changed 😂😂😂
Oh yeah, since you mentioned the roses you cut down, I was wondering if you could someday do a video on care of rose bushes. (After I write this, I'll check to see if you already have.) Someone who lived here before me had a couple rose bushes in the front yard and they look awful. I've just been putting off dealing with them. I actually live in a condo where they do the main landscaping for us and they technically aren't required to touch the stuff owners put in. So the roses just get neglected by everyone! I didn't realize I could cut them down like you did! If you did a little video on how to deal with that, it would be great so I can try to salvage them. Thanks! Always enjoy your videos.
Could you do a video on how to deal with gophers? I have tried traps with no success at all. I have bait but don't like to use them and purchased a device you put on the end of your exhaust on your car then attach a hose and place the hose down the hole with the engine running and it seems to work but it is a hassle in some areas.
I may be late, but I'd love to see the types of things you'd do with a chicken coop. I have no doubt you'd make it so cute, and I think it would be helpful to see you use some poultry friendly plants. I have ducks myself, I'm way interested to see that.
Can you please do. A video on starting a gardening TH-cam channel this would be greatly appreciated just the basics and that type of stuff would be supper fantastic thanks g
How do you know the difference between a dead plant and one hibernating? You mentioned the Japanese maple and something else having flexibility. So if it's brittle, it's dead. But if it's still pliable, it's alive, but dormant?
I live in NC the capital for clay soil, I would love to create a garden around my home front, back sides both vegetable's and flowers any ideas or suggests on how to make it easier on my plants and me working with clay and rocks?
tyrena smith I have very clay soil here in ireland and I just forked in some grit and multi purpose organic compost and I now have a thriving flower garden

Get do much pleasure just watching your videos with my morning coffee.
Love looking back on these older videos and see all the amazing changes you guys have created in your property.
It is amazing to see what has changed since this was filmed.
I am loving watching this old video everything that you said you wanted to do has come together beautifully! The chicken coop, vegetable garden, walkways etc it is amazing how you have transformed the place! Love your videos!
It’s 2022 & im back to this video to reminisce on the past 😂 It’s amazing how much you guys have accomplished over the years.
Wow, Laura. To see you now, June 2023. You’ve done so, so well! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I so need this video now - to give me hope that our boxwood and arborvitae might survive the last two snow storms this month. They all have been weighed down by the snow, and still are!
Wow. That was like a trip to the barren prairies. You have done a major, major overhaul on this yard over the past three years.
It’s fun to look back and see all the changes you have made.
I think its really neat that your yard came back to life while you were gone, such a nice welcome home.
It’s so amazing looking back at the video, and seeing how much has changed with your home! Wow!
You guys should be soooo proud 💚🤗🌱
Your garden already looks great despite the snow. I can't wait for all the blooms!
❤️You are like the sunshine in your garden. No matter what season. I love you. Hi from Germany❤️
I watched this older video this morning and your place has improved so much in just a few years.
Hi Miss Laura! How exciting to see the snow almost gone. Hopefully the snow we get this weekend will be the last....Can't blame a girl for dreaming. lol! Is Dexter ok?

I can't wait to see all of the projects you'll have in the spring!
Amazing to watch this in June 2024! So much has changed!
You have inspired me to garden again. Wish is was that warm and green here in western New York. We had a warm Feb and now snow in March.
Thank you for this fun video Laura, I can't wait to see what you do with this!! OMYGOD if I had all this GORGEOUS and open land I would plant Cherry Blossom trees, hydrangeas, roses, gerbera daisies, colorful coleuses, etc., and butterfly gardens everywhere and with that greenhouse, BEAUTIFUL Orchids and all colorful succulents!!
I can't believe your weather ,wow what a change,nice for you,that the snow is disappearing so quickly

I love your videos. Can’t wait to get out in my yard this spring, it February now and I’m counting the days down. I could spend all day watching but housework calls.
So looking forward to your April garden tour. Your garden is wonderful and inspires me so much to try things in my own garden.
This is SO exciting! And I'm very surprised how quickly it warmed up out by you. I'm on the Catskills in Upstate NY and we got 2 feet of snow this week and some more today.

I love how you just stuck your hand in that gofer hole!! Lol
shawneato yeah I was hoping they don’t bite. We don’t have gophers in Australia, I have no idea what they are like.
Love all that space to plant stuff in! I vote in favour of the hummingbird and butterfly garden over the Vlad the Impaler garden. I have 5 hydrangeas in my tiny yard. Tfs!
I am envious of your early Springs!!
Light blanket of snow in Central Lower Michigan!!
The good days are finally here! Looking forward to the next videos

Plant Lombardy Poplar trees were you have the oak trees. Lombardy Poplars have a tall slim elegant look to them.
Wow what a difference a month makes! I am so excited to watch all the new plans you have and their progress. I never had to deal with gophers and I was so worried that something was going to bite you when you were digging around in there lol. tfs Mimi
"It looks like a wreck....not for long!" Yes, Laura will take after it!
i love your energy, you are an inspiration! love from Indonesia ❤
Your enthusiasm is infectious. Love to see the finished product

You're a very hard worker woman I love your videos, in moments like this I love the weather of Mexico City =)

Wow so much have changed since then.☺️
Please do a video when you clean the ivy. I need tips on how to get rid of mine
I'm so excited for the vegetable garden
so excited for spring and new projects!!!!! love your garden
You have an amazing yard! Wish I had space like that! Can't wait to see things as the year progresses! :)
Your garden looks fresh & beautiful...! Love ❤️ your gardening video all the time.
I really like these garden tours! I hope we get to see your garden grow.
Love it when you upload new videos. I am new to this channel and I am HOOKED! Kinda wishing you could upload everyday.
Hey I love the videos! I was wondering if you'll ever do a video on closed terrariums? Or possibly even planted vivariums?
Love these videos, can't wait to see these projects! Oh spring can't come soon enough.
great wow those are a lot of hedges
Love the videos! Learning a lot from your planting and your house and property are beautiful!
Someone has probably mentioned this already but if you use a salt-free ice melt, it won't ruin your concrete and has the added benefit of being safer for the environment and animals. I usually buy one marketed for pets because I guess it's bad for dogs to be walking around on the traditional rock salt and licking it off their feet all winter. I'm sure there are other alternatives that you could get in larger quantities (I have a lot less area to cover than you, I live in a townhouse condo! lol).

love to see your garden tour! and i like your t-shirt cause im from holland! 💕🌸
Ik zie dit filmpje pas net. En dacht meteen het zelfde 😊
Love your downloads Laura. always inspiring !!!!

You dont want to put salt on concrete, it will break it down, you can use sand when it’s to icy to safely walk on.
It's looking promising ~ we still have snow ans winter storms here in Canada....Newfoundland.....I'll take some notes for now...
Rina Hough how long are the winters & summers in Canada? ? ?
I may be late, but I'd love to see the types of things you'd do with a chicken coop. I have no doubt you'd make it so cute, and I think it would be helpful to see you use some poultry friendly plants. I have ducks myself, I'm way interested to see that.
This makes me unable to wait for spring 😥 we just got out lawn fixed so this is the first year I can have a garden..
Can you please do. A video on starting a gardening TH-cam channel this would be greatly appreciated just the basics and that type of stuff would be supper fantastic thanks g
YASSS YASSS im so excited cant wait for the beautiful garden next
Can you do video on how you weed? What kind of spray do you use? Is it organic?
Love your shirt! Saying hello from Holland 😄
Have you thought about putting mesh netting around some of the shrubs to help keep them together during winter?
I love the garden tour videos!!!!
Can't wait !💕💕💕

Love all your videos!
wonderful video. Very enjoyable.
loved the tour!
Beautiful Home
Wow you have a huge back yard, (beautiful by the way) do you have some help with cleaning up and planting?
If y’all have time could you do a video on maintance on raise garden vegetables.
Terrific, very good video, amazing channel
I wonder if the arbor vitaes would cast shadows on the vegetable garden?
what type of fertilizer do you use? and how do you prep your soul before planting?
Glad I found you, Love the spirit! You are too funny when you see a weed, grrrrr!!
Nice t shirt greatings from the Netherlands who some cals Holland.
it looks so cool
how do you deal with the gophers.. we live in arizona and the gophers are messing up our lawn.. which was nice n now it has holes and dead grass..?
Would you ever consider planting a few Bleeding Hearts in the shady area of your house where the ivy is, since they call for a shady area?
great video. Bennie
What do you like to use for weed spray on your sidewalks??
I live in NC the capital for clay soil, I would love to create a garden around my home front, back sides both vegetable's and flowers any ideas or suggests on how to make it easier on my plants and me working with clay and rocks?

Hi Laura, can you please give me and inexpensive ideas for a bank that’s attached to my neighborhood church yard. I really need privacy!
Hey Laura,
I really like the evergreen plants. Can you tell me what's the name and variety?
can you film how you deal with the gophers?
Wow, so much work! How do you keep up with the maintenance, it’s so much.
we have snow in Detroit
