    how wonderful for Benjamin to be a part of the creation of his family's property - digging, planting and all the other activities involved. He will remember this (also the videos will show) as unbelievable memories for him to pass on to his kids one day. Memories that will always bring joy to him.... love what you are doing as a family!!!

      It is cute when little Benjamin helps his mom and dad with their project's. We will probably see Samantha out there with her own shovel soon enough.

    Laura in many of your videos you speak about all the things your mother did to her property while you were growing up, but watching Benjamin out there helping dig a spot for the new trees is watching those memories for Benjamin too. When he grows up he will have those memories where he says I remember when my mom and dad and I planted those trees by the Hartley. Building those memories is a spectacular thing and sometimes you get so caught up in what you are doing you don’t even realize the memories you are creating with one another. As I said in the past many many blessings to you all. Everything is coming together. Looks marvelous.

    I have watched this video three times. Laura your vision for this space is so inspired and I want to acknowledge the gift you have been given in this life. Most everyone can plant something. However, not everyone can share planting with such inspiration and love for what they are creating. What a special time of memories made with Benjamin putting his shovel to work. My heart needed this today.🙂

    This has to be the best job. Make content around your garden and house, allowing you to expand both, and in the end if you wanna stop, you have a great garden, land and house with all these gorgeous plants. Instead of endless buckets of expiring makeup, for example. Ahhh just happily living vicariously through Laura and family 💚💚💚

    The maples near the Hartley make such a huge difference…..perfect choice….and placement. The brickwork is gorgeous. They are doing an amazing job. The boxwoods are really going to put a finishing touch on the area even before the gardens are done. You’ll have all winter to envision what you’re going to plant there. It’s going to be spectacular! Love the Norway spruce. What a beautiful tree. Looking forward to seeing all the other trees go in. 😊💖🦋🕊

    Hey Laura and Aaron. I have been watching your videos for several years now. My daily routine after work is to turn on my computer, get comfortable, pour a glass of wine, and watch your video. Thank you! I have a request: Would it be horribly labor intensive to put together a video "before, during, and after" sort of comparison of your whole growing season this year? Beginning with maybe your "Planting Blackberries" video on March 18th going forward and hitting maybe a dozen or so areas? Perhaps stills of each area of your garden, (the berry patch, the vegetable garden, the South garden loop, the orchard, the area on the other side of the parking area where you're currently laying the stone path (stone path garden?), the cutting garden, etc.) each month or so - whenever you've hit that area again - and maybe do it with a voice-over from both of you while we see the still photos. Would this be a fun winter project, maybe? What you both loved and hated about each area? What you want to repeat or never do again? Perhaps a fun way to document and summarize your property for the season? Maybe a Christmas gift to your fans? /hint /hint

    Love to see you so excited Laura! You exude passion for your garden and it’s contagious. Makes us all want to go out in our gardens, in the rain, and plant for spring 🌱

    Laura your Hartley is really the star of the show more now that it is flanked with the maples. I just love it. I am so excited to see this come together. We are developing an open field on our property just like you are and I am enjoying seeing all the plants and trees bring life to the field. Also, I planted a Brandywine Viburnum last year just like yours and wow am I enjoying seeing all the berries and color it is presenting! Love this video so much.

    I am so envious of you! When I work in the yard, my body crackles like a glow stick. Unfortunately, the fact that my body doesn't glow afterwards is a bit disappointing! 🤣🤣 The Harley area is already gorgeous!

    It is amazing how children will listen to conversations and pick up on little details and remember them ... Benjamin would do that ... he will be running the show before long ... so smart ... !!! ... Hugs

    Your new maples in the circle swoops match the maples and begonias in the swoops, so I think this worked out just as it should have! Intentional or not you carried your theme throughout! ❤ looking great!

    OMG..... I love that spruce 🤗🤗🤗 what a perfect place for it to live . And your right, those trees around the Hartley ,are just perfection. You've done such a great job of mapping out the whole structure of the flower beds, and the box woods . I can't wait to see it all planted up.. It's going to be GLORIOUS. Great job 🤗🤗

    I'm grateful for any skilled worker who shows up. Most are limiting their scope to easiest, quickest, closest jobs. My gardener decided to drop anyone with a dog as it added a step of containing it, dealing with owner or with dog. I don't blame him, it's his time and a business decision.

    You guys are so fortunate to have soil that's diggable!! I know you say it's hard packed, and very dusty, but it's still diggable!! Our land in Eastern Ontario Canada, is part of the Canadian Shield, and it's nothing but shale, and stone, stone, stone and more stones!! Can't even dig to plant tulip bulbs without hitting stone! Planting trees and shrubs are a nightmare!! lol Your new Maple trees and boxwoods are beautiful! Good decision to choose those spots for the Maples for all of the reasons you mentioned. Sometimes it's hard to remember how big things will grow in a very few years, and spacing is key. What a sweet boy Benjamin is. Always willing to get in there and help! Making memories! :) ~~M~~

    You all have done so very much....this year....wonder if BEFORE Aaron does his lights if he could do a drone show of the progress that you have done since last spring.......? Sometimes we forget just ALL you have done. Great job and so pretty and wonderful. Go get some some hot cider. Great job.

    What a joy to watch today's video. Stopping to watch trees planted.....awesome! How thrilling for you all to see your dreams, planning, & hard work come together around rhe Hartley! I am super excited for you 2. Would it be possible to put together a segment of what all this area looked like before work began to the present? Loved watching Benjamin helping & giggle that he expects to be paid 😯

    I’m so envious of your soil. Whenever I dig a hole here in the Granite State, I pull out as much rock as I do soil 🙃. The Hartley grounds are looking great!

    • @Bamboo4U2

      Yeah, I use to follow a TH-camr in New Hampshire and he rented an excavator for a project and he kept yanking out monster-sized, after monster-sized boulders from his property, just to clear the area to build a structure.
      They don't call it the Granite State for nothin'.
