Except the ones who get the compost view. I hope Laura plants something tall enough to block the compost view from that house. I’m sure she’s though of something.
As much as we enjoy seeing these videos I can’t help but think how you, your children, and grandchildren are going to enjoy them thirty years from now.
I know im asking randomly but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any tips you can give me.
@Ty Jay Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Laura - You look totally happy! Especially at the end. There is joy in that heart! Laura is planting and thinking about what the garden will look like in the future. Aaron is flying his drone and making fun fly-over-the-property-and-house videos. That is what is called a good day. =)
You guys are so blessed...I lost my spouse (due to covid) last month & am trying to get my interest in my gardens back...We always worked in them together. Oh and glad to see that Laura is able to get down on the ground & plant again.
I love that we going to be able to see this new area unfold from the very beginning. We are clearing land as we speak for our new home on 6 acres. Starting from scratch in a new space is very overwhelming. Hoping to get some great ideas from you guys. I’m definitely planting some fruit trees!
Me, too, Connie! We just bought 5 acres to build a home and are starting to clear areas. I’m definitely going to be getting ideas from Laura on what I can do with it. 😊👍
Ditto on 1.3 acres! Mine is split with a circular drive, so I’m doing the upper half where the house sits first and just mowing the lower for now. Splitting it into two zones makes it easier to plan and work, even though the whole thing will look continuous at the end - as if the driveway came afterwards. I am planting a few shrubs in both places so they’ll be the same type and size. Anyway, it’s the only way I could handle it in my head without freaking out - and also be able to afford it!💰😁
Yes! I agree. I took like a two month depression - it's winter break - and came back and Benjamin's strawberry tanks, the high top and the flower garden were all gone. Yeaks. So much changed in such a small amount of time. Fun stuff!!
Your positive attitude it’s just so contagious. I’m a psychologist and I just love watching you and listening to you, there’s never a negative word that you say. At least not on camera Ha!
Laura and Aaron, you guys should really look up the “bee dance”! How honey bees tell each other where to find a pollen source. It’s soooo cool to watch and learn about. It’s un- 🐝- ievable and amazing! 💗💕💗
Don’t ya just love having your hubby around all the time!?! It’s such a blessing for us after my husband retired from the USCG after 25 years! Have fun!!
@@joyces.9021 how long before a subscriber sends her a copy? LOL. I just bought myself the book from my local goodwill. I haven't started it yet. I'm thinking this is a sign too though.
@@2acresevolving777 You too! It was very interesting to understand why she chose the spacing she did. Yes! I told my husband I needed to go to the nursery today. They flagged 4 for me to grab but now I’m thinking I need apricots for those blooms too. 😊 I had them pull one of the twist varieties so I can get two different apples in one tree. It’s kind of a new thing here so hopefully that works out well. What kind are you planting?
I am so excited for all of yous. You guys have worked your tails off and deserve everything that makes you happy. I can't wait to continue watching your journey. It's been an incredible four-plus years. You guys simply ROCK. Thank you for inspiring me daily.
There used to be an orchard around our house! My husband grew up in our home, my Father in Law planted cherry, apple, peach & pear trees! As the years past & the trees aged & they died. And my Father in Law as he aged couldn't care for the trees properly. But we all enjoyed cherry pies, cobblers as well as dishes made with the apples, peaches & pears! As you said we shared the bounty with our extended family & friends! Your orchard will be beautiful, can't wait to watch it grow & produce fruit!😃🍎🍏🍐🍑🍒
Besides the beautiful look of the trees in spring, can you imagine the smell from the fruit! I drive thru an orchard practically everyday (their apple trees are on both sides of the road) and the smell is wonderful. Then, don’t get me started when they’re cooking up cider, pies and other goodies.
The joy in your excitement is infectious!!! I am so VERY excited for you both! Thank you SO much for sharing this journey. Inspiring doesn’t begin to describe it all!!
This is so awesome. The development of this land by someone so knowledgeable to going to be amazing to watch. Looking forward to the dusty dusk summer nights where you, Aaron and the kids are out playing in it !
You two make planting an orchard look so romantic and easy!!!!! Once upon a time, my husband and I would pick out projects to work on together. It was just nice to work alongside with someone. It sort of takes the chore out of work. I can't wait to see your vision of this space.
SO exciting! I bet you loved the moment you were standing there, all trees in, and you were giving them water. Like watching a baby sleeping! What a glorious day for this new beginning!
I'm so impressed by how you've edited the video to show in great detail how the layout will go--including the crossfade between drawings and aerial shots! That's so much work that goes into that stuff. I see you flexing! ;) And I'm here for it! As always, thanks for sharing :)
Congratulations on your new orchard! What a joy growing your own fruit will be! We have apples, pears, and cherries, and I'm so thankful to the man who planted them before us. Hope you guys have a great weekend!
I’m so excited! When I see people with lots of land all I can think of I had it I would put fruiting trees out. My grandfather grew everything and he lived in Oklahoma.
Chills! Crying tears of joy. Amazed by each video as to your expertise, teamwork, vision and ability to bring forth. Thank you so much for these incredible videos. Bless you all and everyone who watches!
I'm in a windy area too, and when the fruit trees are in full beautiful bloom and the wind blows off all the flowers before they have been pollinated, my crabapple tree doesn't produce well that year. But if spring winds hold off then all is good. So now I put pots of flowers over by the tree first, as soon the flowers can take the weather. To make sure that there are bees around my tree right when the blooms open.
Here in New Zealand, to help feed the newly planted tree and to help it retain some moisture during the summer months, we put a pile of daggy wool down in the planting hole, then place the tree on top and fill in with the dirt.😊🐑
I was watching your video, and thinking, how wonderful it will be 20 or 30 yrs from now, when your sitting on your porch looking out at that beautiful place. You will be able to say....I DID THAT!!! Not many people can do that anymore. Wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing your life.
I love your orchard set up near the possible shed and its use with your flower garden - great purposeful planning! I love eating apricot cross plumb fruits too. Here, in California, we call them "Pluots" (plu-ots).
Not covering the trunk of the trees is the key to a good strong tree that people don't understand. Your Orchard will look beautiful in years to come especially in the spring.
Also not letting them fruit until a proper structure is formed. Some people deformed their little fruit trees like this. I personally wait for three years plucking off immature fruit then I let them fruit until their hearts content. I always thin because trees are long lived so proper pruning and care will bring so much reward for the future.
Have been waiting for this video. Planted a lemon an orange and recently a pear tree in our small North Fla yard over the past few years. Praying we can keep them pruned . Looking forward to seeing your orchard mature. Yes to Aaron sitting beside you. Your both have great ideas. We hear your voice may as well join Laura ! Blessings to your sweet family.
Yay! So excited for you. The plans look amazing! And the sweet thought of a she shed with a chandelier is just 🥰 lovely framed with blooms. Can’t wait to see this all come together. So happy to follow along this journey with you all.
Not only will the trees look nice, but will give you fruit. It is going to look amazing in a few years. You two bring so much joy to all you meet. God Bless
Thank you, thank you!!! My husband and I where looking to make our pasture into a fruit tree Orchard. I watched the whole video now I'm going to watch it again with my husband so we can get some ideas for our space😁
Also, think about what varieties of fruit you want to have, because one tree will produce a lot of fruit for you to deal with! Will you be preserving the fruit? If so, get varieties that preserve well. Will you have apples just for eating out of hand? Get a variety that will store well or one you will want to share or sell, as there may be more than you will need. These are things that may not be in the forefront of our minds when choosing fruit trees. You will(hopefully) have these trees producing a lot of fruit every year for a long time. Some years I am wracking my brain to think of something else to do with my sour cherries, even though I do love them! Also, depending on your climate, some years the blossoms may freeze and you will have no fruit that year. We sometimes have apricots and sometimes not, they bloom very early, while it’s still quite cold. Happy planting!
The sketch drawing you showed helped a lot to visualize what the plans are for the area. I really liked the variety selections that you picked for the orchard area.
Hi Laura! Biostudent here! Bees will forage and collect nectar as far as they can, as they have other hives to compete with, as well as other species! So they would absolutely travel to the hypothetical tree you're talking about :D Fruit trees typically have lots of nectar too.
🌱You are surrounded by beauty every where, and I’d love to see your neighborhood! This is so fun to see you both making dreams come true. Can’t wait to see it all come alive! Thank you Laura and Aaron ☘️💚🪴🧚🏻
I would like to thank you. I purchased and am about to plant my 2 first apple trees in my yard. I don’t have land like you do, but you still give me ways to try new things. I started flowers for the first year. Thanks for all your tips and advice.
I love the fact that you and Aaron are so dedicated to what you do on a daily basis. I think I would be lost if you stopped broadcasting. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been watching your channel and love everything you and your family do. It brings a very down-to-earth way of being and knowledge to those of us who follow you. You simplify gardening and make it easy for us to understand the hows, whys, whens, whats, etc. And how to beautify living spaces and bringing joy to others. And most of all being completely human about it all. I cannot wait until your greenhouse comes along. As I am from England I miss planting in zone 8 (Kent) and now in zone 6 Kansas City Kansas, I feel like I can achieve anything at this point just by watching your tutorials, especially as where you are is now considered zone 6. Thank you for being you and all that you do. :D Edit: I love your cats. The fact they join you wherever you are on the property. I think cats love the company and enjoy hanging out in general. I have cats too. Are all cats orange over here? lol
We just started spraying and pruning our little orchard for the first time since we build the house a decade ago so that video on how you take care of fruit trees will be much appreciated 🌳🍎💕
Thank you both for this awesome video ! How lovely to have such a nice sandy loam soil to work with!!! I am so glad you have this kind of soil.. There is a lot of this soil in the Central Valley of California and so many thousands of acres are planted there.. God's Blessings for for you and yours ! Fran Danco
This is so exciting, I am going to watching every step of your new property evolve. You have no idea how much you motivate me to want to get out and get gardening.
I am loving the development of the trees and being able to see how the area is transforming. Another thing that I love about orchards is you can stagger the fruit harvest to get fresh fruits of different varieties thoughout the season not just here and there.
I am excited about the orchard! We have been flying blind with our fruit trees for almost five years, so it will be nice to get video reminder when/how to prune, spray, fertilize, etc. Thank you for the great video!!
Good morning to you both you’re such a hard workers. I am so looking forward to seeing the development of your garden area, I am living vicariously through your gardening experiences and plantings and yes you’ve motivated me to get out into my garden early on for planning and prepping for spring time.
In 10 years you could turn this into a farm tour/market.. talk about the tourist that would love to come see you & the Garden Answer Orchard/Garden.. Amazing work! I could see it now! May the bees 🐝 bless it! 🦋
This is very exciting. Love to see how this progress. I have a small backyard and can only dream and watch someone grows them with as much satisfaction. Thank you for the uploads ! I know it's very time consuming as I am always learning from you. ❤️❤️
So much fun at the thought of having fruit. I love watching you, everything is one of my dreams. I no longer am able to put them into reality so my fun is watching you.
This is the first time I’ve seen someone put compost into the hole before planting the fruit trees or any tree. Every video I’ve seen they discourage that cos you want the trees to adapt to the soil they’re going in so this method is new to me but she’s the professional!!! Her stuff looks gorgeous every where else! Look forward to seeing the progress.
I so enjoy Laura and Aaron relationship. Soon we will have a shed with double doors to open up. With a pretty light fixture right Aaron that's what you want too. Yeah it's been on my list!! To cute!!
I’m glad you pointed out not planting too deep. I’ve gotten a few trees and shrubs that were actually too deep in the nursery can. Many people don’t know to be aware of grafts and root flare when planting and mulching.
Wow, such a great property for growing! I live on a 3/4 acre property in the city and have 15 fruit trees, some in ground some in containers. It's such a blessing to grow your own organic fruit. TFS
And by shed, you mean another Hartley? 😉 thank you for thinking up such creative ways (the plates on top of the stakes) to make this all so viewer-friendly. It doesn’t go unnoticed!
Man, I would say your neighbors are pretty lucky because they are going to have such an amazing vista to look out at
I live near a few orchards and it's so beautiful! I love driving through that road.
Except the ones who get the compost view. I hope Laura plants something tall enough to block the compost view from that house. I’m sure she’s though of something.

Yes!! It will be so awesome for her kids and grandkids to be able to look back and see all the videos!
I bet they move to a different property. Maybe even to a different growing zone.
I was thinking about 30 years from now what it will look like as well and how they will be enjoying the fruits of their labour, so to speak.
I think the same thing!! :D
Laura looked in her element today. Back at it, digging, planting, watering, lifting. It is so motivating to see that.
I see it too! That motivation is contagious! Time to get my boots on and get at it
I thought the same thing!! I bet she is so happy to be able to get back into it!!

The waggle dance! I’m a Beekeeper 😁 #southernbellebeekeeper
I'm pretty sure Laura knows all about that; she has kept bees a couple of times, right?
Is this a book or film?
@@kimmiller4057 neither. Something honey bees do to communicate.

Or let a local person who has a small property do the bee hives on your property. It would benefit you both.

I am excited about the orchard! We have been flying blind with our fruit trees for almost five years, so it will be nice to get video reminder when/how to prune, spray, fertilize, etc.
Thank you for the great video!!
Good morning to you both you’re such a hard workers. I am so looking forward to seeing the development of your garden area, I am living vicariously through your gardening experiences and plantings and yes you’ve motivated me to get out into my garden early on for planning and prepping for spring time.
I love when there are drone shots to show what you are doing and afterwards what you have done
How exciting for you! Nothing like getting a big project started! Enjoy the process!
In 10 years you could turn this into a farm tour/market.. talk about the tourist that would love to come see you & the Garden Answer Orchard/Garden.. Amazing work! I could see it now! May the bees 🐝 bless it! 🦋
This is very exciting. Love to see how this progress. I have a small backyard and can only dream and watch someone grows them with as much satisfaction. Thank you for the uploads ! I know it's very time consuming as I am always learning from you. ❤️❤️
Can't wait to see the updates in coming years. You 2 are meant for each other!
Always a great video to enjoy.
" Let the season begin" !! Amen!😃
So much fun at the thought of having fruit. I love watching you, everything is one of my dreams. I no longer am able to put them into reality so my fun is watching you.
Loved this video! I planted a pear tree and a cherry tree last year, so I’m super excited to see how they do this year! 😍
This is the first time I’ve seen someone put compost into the hole before planting the fruit trees or any tree. Every video I’ve seen they discourage that cos you want the trees to adapt to the soil they’re going in so this method is new to me but she’s the professional!!! Her stuff looks gorgeous every where else! Look forward to seeing the progress.
This is so exciting!! And thank you for taking us along for the ride🥰
I so enjoy Laura and Aaron relationship. Soon we will have a shed with double doors to open up. With a pretty light fixture right Aaron that's what you want too. Yeah it's been on my list!! To cute!!
Yay, the season for planting has started its so exciting. Can't wait for more video's. It's going to be amazing.
Is it silly that I get tummy butterflies thinking about the planting season? I cannot wait! Laura gives me SO
Much inspiration!
You are definitely a visionary....cant wait to see it come to fruition 🍊🍎🍃
I cannot wait to see the fruit trees in maturity during the spring! It will be majestic!😍
Honestly, I would love to be a part of a conversation with Laura about what we think the life of a bee looks like!
How exciting for you! The.development of the new property is coming along nicely!
I’m glad you pointed out not planting too deep. I’ve gotten a few trees and shrubs that were actually too deep in the nursery can. Many people don’t know to be aware of grafts and root flare when planting and mulching.
Good morning ☀️ this is so exciting look forward to seeing the progress!!
Wow, such a great property for growing! I live on a 3/4 acre property in the city and have 15 fruit trees, some in ground some in containers. It's such a blessing to grow your own organic fruit. TFS
Yes! The beginning of a new adventure!💚🙃
And by shed, you mean another Hartley? 😉 thank you for thinking up such creative ways (the plates on top of the stakes) to make this all so viewer-friendly. It doesn’t go unnoticed!
Exciting day! Hard to believe I'm in the same planting zone as you. It's freezing, here. Brrrrrr.....
Same here. Im on the other side of Oregon from them and it just snowed last night
