Hello again, I was watching your video while it poured outside my door. The sun even came out and gave us a beautiful rainbow. I like you was planning to go out and work in my garden. My daughter took me to the local farmers market for my early mother's day gift. She had me pick out two rose bushes for my yard. I have an orange and pink climber rose to add to the beautiful red rose bush she bought me years ago. Now I have to see what my three sons get me. I love mothers day, I hope you have a wonderful Mother's day this Sunday.
BEING the youngest of 10 your family reminds me when we had a farm in the country in Pennsylvania. Love when the baby is so excited to tell you about how he is doing on his bike with his older sister right there making sure he does not hurt himself, and the others right behind rooting him on...THAT IS WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT BUT OF COURSE JESUS COMES FIRST. SHARED TO THE BURGH GOD BLESS.
Angela, hello, I just watched this video and as I love them all! This video is one that is at the top of my list. I love watching the process of how you and your family are creating an amazing garden. Your family is adorable and you are creating such wonderful memories for them. I’ve joined the OWS and it’s wonderful. Thanks Christine J
Thank you SOOO much for providing these excellent videos of your beautiful house, garden and family. I just love your soft voice, watching Jr help, seeing your girls grow into young women, and your boys becoming young men. Here in Central Texas, rainy days are very precious to us, and we take our sunny days for granted. I'm working on shifting my perspective to embrace and appreciate what cannot be changed. For instance, the weather. I hope that someday I can spend some time (in Summer) in Door County, and maybe the Reed family can experience bluebonnets in the Texas Hill Country in April. You would love it!
Angela, love your new garden progress. I have cleaned out my garden beds and bought some seedlings. My window seat bench has been taken over by other projects so we will seed soon. Loving all the perennials which offer berries galore, asparagus, kale and herbs unending. Working in the drizzle is so relaxing! All the best, Julie 🌷
My name is Helen Frank'sbetter half ha !we live in Rochester NY .so I understand your frustration ,!You have no idea how much you have helped me ,and I'm sure many others get through these hard times .I'll speak for myself ,I appreciate the fact that you show ,that nothing is perfect . ,We love you and your family ,and we love that your real.God is good ,and your s blessing .Thank you !
A healthy lawn is the best weed barrier. I live on the Canadian prairies where we deal with frequent high winds, drought, frigid winters (it's been -30 for a month 2 years in a row!) and searing hot summers. Grass, for me, is relatively low maintenance, comfy on feet, and here, relatively pest free. I love the look of it, too!
I recently found a Vintage & Victorian magazine from 2012 at a flea market. As I was perusing it I came across an article featuring none other than the Parisienne Farmgirl herself. It features the house in McHenry, Illinois. Absolutely Beautiful.
Your garden is always so inspiring to me! We just bought a house with basically all yard and only a few trees. It is 2 acres of grass and house/ buildings. It feels so overwhelming for me to try to image an english cottage garden feel. I don’t even know where to start!
My gosh Angela how big the kids haven gotten. They are really beautiful. The farm is coming along. You an should be proud of everything you have accomplished but it takes all of you to do that and it shows
You worked like a mad dog! Holy cow.....you have strength. If you have too much rain......send us some toy Idaho! We need to have rain because we haven’t had a drop. Crazy how some places get way tooo much,and other places are in drought. It’s a challenge to be happy w/ no matter how much we are sent! Good luck on your property, making it beautiful and enjoyable.
I know how frustrating it is to wait for the weather. I live 4 hours south of you and have not been able to plant yet. In fact, I have a freeze warning tonight, so I'm glad I waited.
Hi Angela, love how your farm looks your grass is growing and looking mighty green.. and all those beds you have ready to be filled with beautiful flowers. Love to see how your family all chips in with outdoor gardening, your little baby saids he’s 5 already.. so so cute.. be careful with that bike was afraid of that gravel hill... but too cute..! Enjoy it all don’t worry you’ll see more sunny and hot days... I’m just starting to get my garden together too lots of work.. but all worth it..🪴🏡🌿🌷🌼
We've been teased by some very warm sunny days here in PA, but when I wanted to go out and start the clean up and planting, it rained! It's been raining for three days and the temperature has dropped. White towel!! I received my copy of OWDS today and am enjoying it with a cup of tea!
So beautiful! Loved seeing the whole family outside playing and helping out and loved seeing parts of the property we've never seen! We've been struggling with the rain on the weekends so I get it. Working full time and only having two days to work outside. Mother Nature is not on the same schedule as we are! Being grateful for the rain to do my watering for me is where I'm at now.
I loved seeing the beds ready to be planted..some with shoots coming up...it is the before photo, soon there will be after photo where everything is growing and gorgeous and blooming. Looking forward to that as well. Side note:. I received my O/W spring edition... thank you for putting out something so beautiful. I can't wait to pour over it..💕💕
Angela, you have such a bodacious landscape... A touch of over grown English garden seems to compliment what your establishing... There's taming the wild... Then there's... "I once had a farm in Africa..."
I had tennis elbow for a few years as a young woman, also an achy shin and a hurting sitz bone. Then .... I took Celebrex for merely three days and have had absolutely no pain in those three areas ever since in the past twenty years! Kinda scary how powerful Celebrex is! However, I’m thankful to be pain-free!
Unfortunately Celebrex is.a harsh chemical, even though it really takes away pain for most people using it. There are more natural alternatives though. And many do work well.
We live in Maine, and our seasonal timing is about the same as yours! I just got my lettuce and green onions planted today and I will plant my other greens and cabbages soon. The trees are just getting teeny tiny leaves on them and the tulips bloomed yesterday! It's so nice to have some sun finally, after all the rain! I love your channel and I listen to your podcast too, you're so inspiring to a younger mom like me...
Isn't it lovely to see the green again?! It sounds like you are in the deep breath before Spring comes in abundance, may you continue to see the beauty around you xx 😘
Your farm looks awesome! Yes you can grow grass but you have to decide if you want beautiful green grass or grass mixed with weeds. I would bet you don't want weed killer down all over polluting your beautiful farm. We live in the Pine Barrens on Long Island on over an acre. So much lawn to take care of. Always battling weeds. I would rather a more natural look but our development would have a problem with that. Hoping to leave NY one day to a more rural simpler life!
My landscaper has said to me. "As long as it's green, it's okay." He has helped me embrace a less than perfect lawn. This year, for the first time in 26 years, my grass looks better than my next door neighbors! A win. I love how your green paths look. I hope it's spring there soon but as soon as it is, it will be summer in Texas and it is supposed to be hot this year! I have one more daffodil blooming. I've had a succession of blooms for almost three months. Unheard of but I guess I have Uri to thank. I got my Old World Design Society Magazine today. I can't wait to start reading it. Thank you for amazing content.
Send some of the rain westward into ND and MT! We are SO dry...we're at extreme drought! I love your style of gardening and am happy to see you're going to keep grass paths/lawned areas.
Lovely video Angela! I wish you could send some rain my way, we've had less than an inch in the lady month and a half!! Last night we got frost and I didn't know it was expected. I hope my apple blossoms are ok!
Grass between your raised beds is definitely the way to go - otherwise you'll be forever dealing with weed eradication with whatever else you put down. Stuff simply wants to grow - and will despite your very best efforts, so why not make it all happen on your terms? In sun, grass is the most effective ground cover there is. It's warmer than Door where I am with the Daff's just finishing up & everything perennial beginning to grow, leaf out, or candle up very nicely. The potatoes & beet seeds are in the ground, planted in the cold & the rain - that wasn't fun! Waiting til next week to plant the rest in earnest. Love what you're doing outside. So many raised beds! Heavens the work! But it all looks really great!
I'm in north AR, so quite a bit south from you and even here, the warmer spring weather just hasn't made it here yet. Still having to run heat at night, light jacket in the morning. It's a slow transition this year.
I feel like I am the only person in the world who doesn't have raise beds, I have gotten so many suggestionsto make raise beds. But I have zero knowledge about it, it's not very common where I live. Could you please tell me more about the benefits of raise beds?
BonJour, Alors, ici, il pleut et il vente depuis un mois... 4 longues semaines... L'an dernier, il faisait beau ; on se croyait en été et on profitait de la terrasse et du jardin. En ce moment, je guette les éclaircies pour avancer dans le jardin, installer de nouvelles plantes (vivaces et annuelles), faire des boutures, des semis... Cet AM, comme souvent en ce moment, je me balade sur des vidéos de jardins, sur des sites de ventes de plantes, sur des groupes de jardiniers passionnés qui font des échanges... J'aimerai que le jardin français que mes parents ont créé durant des années, prennent des allures de jardin de cottage, avec des rosiers anciens et anglais... (une de mes passions...). Ce jardin est un petit jardin de ville, avec déjà une très belle structure, de très jolis arbustes... Je crée de nouveaux parterres fleuris pour un joli cocon tout doux et surtout, pour pouvoir faire de jolis bouquets dans la maison. J'espère que nous aurons bientôt de belles journées ensoleillés pour profiter au mieux de nos moments au jardin... A Bientôt, Cécile de Bordeaux

If Monty has grass pathways then it’s a must 😉
It is beautiful! Happy Mother’s Day!

Qué dulce la hermanita mayor cuidando al chiquitín...!
I personally love the grass pathways and they are so much easier to maintain. :)
The rain itself was telling you to grow grass! As much as I love gravel paths, your grass is gorgeous, and you’re so lucky to have it!
I like this channel, one of the best watches in youtube. Lovely family
Southern Californian here,boy what we wouldn’t do to have one day, one hour of rain. Lol. 🙋🏻♀️🌸🌺🌷
Seriously! My water bill is going to be so high this month 😱💦 At this point, I don't know why we own 4 umbrellas, lol.
Plant trees. They change the environment.
Your garden is always so inspiring to me! We just bought a house with basically all yard and only a few trees. It is 2 acres of grass and house/ buildings. It feels so overwhelming for me to try to image an english cottage garden feel. I don’t even know where to start!
Your children are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your life 😘
Happy Mother’s Day ❤️
My gosh Angela how big the kids haven gotten. They are really beautiful. The farm is coming along. You an should be proud of everything you have accomplished but it takes all of you to do that and it shows
I wish you could send us some rain in California. Where I live, near Sacramento, we got about 6 inches since October.
Yes! Im in Sac area too! Fire season has already started here! Last year was terrible. This year is going to be the same I feel 😟
@@tiannanelson8986 I am so afraid you are correct
Where did Angela go? I thought I was listening to the Elliot Homestead... clear down to the voice cadence. They have become twins. :) LOL
The garden looks beautiful as always. Have a beautiful Mothers Day celebration 🦋
Hopefully the rain has let up by now and you’re able to get in the garden 🌱🪴. Have a happy Mother’s Day tomorrow 💖.
You worked like a mad dog! Holy cow.....you have strength. If you have too much rain......send us some toy Idaho! We need to have rain because we haven’t had a drop.

So inspired to tackle my yard after watching this. Thanks Angela!
Had a good chuckle when I realized the "grass" you referenced, was actual grass and not the other grass!
Beautiful video! Junior reminds me a little of Kevin Corcoran in the old movies he used to play in.
Hi Angela, love how your farm looks your grass is growing and looking mighty green.. and all those beds you have ready to be filled with beautiful flowers. Love to see how your family all chips in with outdoor gardening, your little baby saids he’s 5 already.. so so cute.. be careful with that bike was afraid of that gravel hill... but too cute..! Enjoy it all don’t worry you’ll see more sunny and hot days... I’m just starting to get my garden together too lots of work.. but all worth it..🪴🏡🌿🌷🌼
It is so hard to be patient! My tulips and irises just started blooming, too. I’m so happy to see them!!🌷💛
It's been 3weeks of rain, I'm SO sick of it. And it's cold too!
Love your videos. Hang in there, warmer and drier weather is coming. Blessings.
Your gardens, grass, pond etc. All SO gorgous! Enjoy your early spring. I always loved gardening when the ground was wet and soft.
We've been teased by some very warm sunny days here in PA, but when I wanted to go out and start the clean up and planting, it rained! It's been raining for three days and the temperature has dropped. White towel!! I received my copy of OWDS today and am enjoying it with a cup of tea!
I would so much love to have this much rain. We are in the second year of an extreme drought. Your gardens are breathtaking.
So beautiful! Loved seeing the whole family outside playing and helping out and loved seeing parts of the property we've never seen! We've been struggling with the rain on the weekends so I get it. Working full time and only having two days to work outside. Mother Nature is not on the same schedule as we are! Being grateful for the rain to do my watering for me is where I'm at now.
Awww! What a sweet big sis! 🥰

Zone 4/5 here. It's so hard to be patient while the southern states are in bloom. 😭 (flower farmer here)
We live in Maine, and our seasonal timing is about the same as yours! I just got my lettuce and green onions planted today and I will plant my other greens and cabbages soon. The trees are just getting teeny tiny leaves on them and the tulips bloomed yesterday! It's so nice to have some sun finally, after all the rain!

Thanks Angela! Please make a farmhouse spring cleaning video like you did one time, we need motivation! Love from France. Amandine
Isn't it lovely to see the green again?! It sounds like you are in the deep breath before Spring comes in abundance, may you continue to see the beauty around you xx 😘
I love watching your channel every time i get a notification I click and watch You inspire me so much I want to be like you when I grow up
Your children are adorable...we also had much rain here in New Hampshire last week...good for the flowers! Thanks for another great video!
So thrilled to see you in the gardens again!! Looking forward to lots of videos in the coming months. Your videos are amazing!!

Mom I am 5.. junior is a joy and I love seeing all the kids working together..
I think it all looks lovely, especially your log raised beds. 🌸🌸🌸🍃🍃🍃
I LOVE the idea of grass instead of rock!!!!!! Love your garden!!!

We are having a lot of rain here in Indiana too. Had to go cover everything today, because chance of frost tonight.
Send some of the rain westward into ND and MT! We are SO dry...we're at extreme drought! I love your style of gardening and am happy to see you're going to keep grass paths/lawned areas.
It is so hard to wait. But oh how fun the dreaming and the daily challenges make it all so special.
It is such a great feeling to back in the garden and yard! I am doing the same thing today. Enjoy! I love your videos and miss my girls being 5!!
Oh we have had lots of rain to in south Mississippi
I love the grass it looks so romantic with the flowerbeds in the garden beds it’s going to be gorgeous best of luck
Your videos bring me so much joy! Thank you!
I JUST got home from running errands. Happy sit down and watch one of your videos. 🥰
Angela, my spring flowers are just coming up and we are expecting more snow this weekend. I feel your pain! But it’s coming!!!
Lovely video Angela! I wish you could send some rain my way, we've had less than an inch in the lady month and a half!! Last night we got frost and I didn't know it was expected. I hope my apple blossoms are ok!
I just planted French lavender and some gardenias
Canadian girl here, feeling the same way, though next week’s weather looks promising
Awww, just the sweetest 💕
Angie:”I am tired of being indoors”
Me from home:”Well you’re in door county”
😂😂😂 #Punny
You have a very hard working family
You are the most glamorous farm girl ever! I love your videos.
This is so exciting 🌿

Nice garden with great work.

But I have zero knowledge about it, it's not very common where I live. Could you please tell me more about the benefits of raise beds?
We are about 100 miles south of you and I have been planting....but tonight I'll have to bring pots into the garage and cover some things....:(
Same here! I’d rather garden.❤️
Our last frost date is the first week of June , and we can have frost any time during the whole Summer ! I understand.........
And I wish I could grow grass, but we got so little rain this year, I grew NONE! So gravel it will be for me. 😆
2:13 LOOKS LIKE FRANCE TO ME!!!!
I'm even farther north. I feel your pain.
Hermoso video! 🌼

Mon Cheri, very nice videos!
❤️
Send us your rain please!! We are headed quickly towards drought and a bad fire season here in SO. Oregon .
The children are growing like........name your favorite flower...they are so sweet!!!!
SUGAR! JUNIOR IS SUGAR! My lawn looks like velvet, I'm so picky about my grass, BUT... I leave the patch of clover for the Bees!
After having lived up north and moving further south, I’m not sure I could go back. I was chomping at the bit, and we are weeks ahead of you all.
Saludos desde Venezuela, muy bella tu granja. Por favor activa los títulos en español
Do you have a pump for your small pond?
Angela, look up tara turf on Tara Dillard's blog.
Never ever mow your grass when it’s wet . And keep it not too low
Nice video. But no close captioning for those of us who don’t hear well.😏
Awww yes, the grass is easier to walk on barefoot 😁!!!
👍🏻💜💜💜
