Such a blessing to have your man helping you the way he does. So hard to find men to help out that way do we should recognize and appreciate them when they do. Blessings to you both.
When planting in the ground dig the hole and put water in it. Add the plant in and water again and add granular fertilizer and then add your garden soil and water one more time. Just so the y don't dry out. You also don't want to use plastic in your yard. It doesn't break down and isn't breathable. Use landscape fabric or cardboard if needed.
Thank you for this….I want to start with a small project but I’m scared I will kill the plants 😅
Oooo! That’s a great tip!! 🫶🏾🫶🏾 thank you love!
Use cardboard, good weed blocker and it breaks down easily too😊
Amazing advice
Lovely. Please, please try to continue to be this way with each other, it's beautiful to see couples in true love and togetherness ❤❤❤❤
Hi friends! Happy July! 🍓 I hope yalls month is going great so far. Is it just me or does anyone else feel like time is certainly flying? Anywho thanks for clicking on today's video! It's been my vision for a very long time to have lots of plants in the backyard and while we couldn't make that a reality last year before our wedding, we were able to get it done this summer! I love the way it all turned out and we feel like our backyard has even more charm now. Be sure to let us know what you think! 🍓Love you guys!
Yayee! Hiya Mr & Mrs Kayla & Marcus - great outlook @ 23:57 how about putting a fountain. Happy July! Happy Sunday! London UK 🇬🇧
I was so waiting for this video! Absolutely beautiful. This yard is venue ready. ❤😊
Hi Kayla and Marcus, y'all are amazing couple, and I'm very proud of y'all, have accomplished such a short time, the yard looks Beautiful, , Y'all pick a section in your yard for a vegetable garden, Good please Guys 🙏🏾❤️
Your yard looks amazing!!!! 😍🌻🌹🌷
I love the music. Everything is looking so so beautiful y’all. I have Azaleas to, they never die. I believe you’re spoiled a little. You have great parents. Marcus is the best husband. That’s hard work digging holes. Don’t forget to water them. It’s so hot, I water my flowers every other day. The temp reaches 90 degrees.
It is very pleasing to watch a young couple working in their own yard and gardens! I watched when you and your Mom did the flowers out front a while back. It all looks real good, but in the years to come it will all be so beautiful and filling out! Good work! Love it all! Start a compost area in the far back so you will have rich soil to amend your gardens with as it breaks down.
I LOVE the pine straw in a continuous bed along the fence. It looks soooooooo much better. Good job, Marcus and Kayla.
Yay! I totally agree! It just made it pop a whole lot more ❤❤❤
looks great! I knew that shed was going to be the cutest thing ever. Your yard is big enough that you don't have to go in a straight line. You can make some curves to give it some interest. Also, maybe consider putting some of the same plants together in a group to create a drift of the same things instead of alternating every other plant. it will make the plants that are the same look more lush and give you more of a full, cottage garden look. And you might want to invest in a drip irrigation system to prevent them from drying out in your heat. Gardens are always evolving and if you are anything like me, your garden will change over time as you learn what you like and what you don't. So glad it is turning into your dream back yard! You are doing a great job!
The cottage garden look is one of my faves! Great tip! Maybe we will add some shrubs that floral on the front side of the shed and give it that look ❤
@@YoungLadyBusiness you can always move plants if they will work better in another spot. I'm positive you will make it your own oasis!
❤ Everything turned out so pretty!!! I just built my first home with 3 acres of land!!! I am soooo inspired by this video to plant flowers and make it a beautiful.
Your outdoor space is like a whole vacation so much space to do so many different things!
Right! We want it to be our little oasis ❤❤
You Two are well on your way!!!
Don’t be afraid to stray from straight lines. Deviating lines of plants draws the observer further into your space and gives plants a chance to shine. Very nice job!
I thought about doing that! I should’ve on the back side of the house for sure!! ❤
I agree I think a curvy planting looks more organic and nice. Your yard turned out really nice!
Her backyard makeover was good she have a good UA-cam channel
Looks great. Next time you have to plant a lot of bushes and shrubs, tell Marcus to invest in a power planter auger, that'll save his back and it'll get those holes dug in no time flat. Great job on all the progress you and he have made. Congratulations!
Yep--shrubs and bushes would look great.
Take your time. Plant as you go. Learn which plants do best in certain locations.
Oooo! We really need to look into that ! Thank you love 💕
Flowers are soooo important. Gardening is so relaxing.
Water will not penetrate the plastic but it does go thru landscape fabric to water the plants. Be sure to use plenty of water until the plants send roots into the soil. You will see a big difference. Everything looks beautiful. Love the pine straw around the trees also. Just adds a finishing touch.
Yes, we used both to help with weeds and are contemplating taking the plastic up! The roots and base of the plants are fully exposed but now I’m worried
@@YoungLadyBusiness You may need to add a little more topsoil to the plants.
I'm so totally amazed at how much property y'all have! I truly enjoy seeing a young black couple starting off with such a wonderful blessing.
You should add lots of raised beds for vegetables
Agree, she has plenty of space to put a few raised beds in her backyard
Yes and I'm a fan of kale . Organic kale.
Everything is coming along great! I’m here for the backyard makeover!!! You guys are so talented and blessed with so many gifts of “diy know hows”!! I’m a true fan of it ALL!!❤🙏🏼
100% agree! 😍
You both did an excellent job. It was worth it.
Black plastic landscaping edging would help define the space 100%. Awesome job. The fencing area is my fave😊
Yes! We should definitely add some of that to make the beds pop even more ❤
A curved bed always adds visual interest and the addition of stone also is great.
Looking good! Next time you’re making garden beds, look into the no dig, no till method. You basically lay down a bunch of cardboard instead of the landscape fabric and mulch on top of it. It kills the grass and the weeds, but then it breaks down and feeds the soil. I’ve loved it. It also makes it easier to plant more when you’re ready and you don’t have to go through landscape fabric.
Oooo! I’ve never heard of that! I will definitely look into it 😍
Love the way you and Marcus work together. I don’t have a green thumb but I think your plants are going to need a really good soaking when first planted.
Yes! We gave them a good watering ❤
Your yard is so big and beautiful! Really an empty canvas you can do so much. ❤
Thank you so much!
Your grandma done a great job in teaching you different things great job my grandmother raised me from a baby love ❤️❤️❤️ and always remember God's glory is morning glory wish your well and blessed
You are such an inspiration!!! Everything you’ve done to your home so far I soooo love!!! 😍👏🏾
I definitely love the continuous plant bed more. The care of a hydrangea is in it's name. They love water, and I mean daily watering. If not they lay down and get fussy. Lol. Plus they don't enjoy too much direct sun light. They like morning sun and evening shadow. I just bought my first hydrangea this year, it my favourite flower/plant. I did a lot of research before I bought it. I plan to buy more now that I know how to keep it happy. Great garden work. ☺️💐💐💐
Yesss! Hydrangeas are my absolute fave! We have some in the front by the porch and they are thriving so much! I hope these new ones will thrive in the back and I’ve been giving em lots of water ❤
You are doing fine. Trial and Error. My grandmother told me not every garden will turn out like you want. It is an every changing thing. You will find things that work and those that don't. Never freak out when things die out. Just try something different. Always do your research and go from there. I am 60, been in my home since 2009. It is changing every year. Some years things work great and others it changes. I am finally getting to a point where it makes since. A lot more containers, smaller beds, more plants that can handle the heat. This world changes so much and so has the gardens we plant. Nothing last forever and so change needs to happen. You will get there and it will be great. Get ready to change that garden as the years progress with the world.
Excellent transformation! Beautifully done backyard makeover! 👍🏾🌻👍🏾🌾🙆🏾
Wow, all that hard work, paid off! Looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really love the way your family comes together to help each other❤
The yard looks beautiful!!!
Here’s what my OCD has to say about the shed: “would you mind moving each of the plants slightly to the right so that they are at an equal distance from the door edge?”
😊
Hi hun! I didn’t notice ❤ I’ll fix it 🫶🏾
Loving the way it turned out and a Gazebo is a great spot for where the grass is not flourishing.
When you look back at this home, you both must feel wonderful. Take your time. You did the inside, now the out. It looks beautiful
Thank you hun! There’s will much to do on the inside but like you said we are taking our time ❤
You and your husband did a great job 👏
Your backyard looks good 🌺 🌱🌸 🌳 !
Suggestions:
1. You can make compost stalls and take your sticks, leaves, and garbage and use the broken down dirt in your plant beds and future raised gardens.
2. You can burn your sticks into in your bonfire.
3. Look into Hugelkultur for your future raised garden beds. You use a layer of sticks and branches at the base which breaks down overtime and helps to enrich the soil. It also helps not to have buy extra soil to fill the beds.
Great ideas!! We will definitely do that next year bc we always have branches falling down from the trees 💕
Such a great video! I love how it's all coming together. So pretty!
Hi Beautiful you can regrow hydrangeas for sure so don't throw the broken ones away everything looks great Im so happy for you and Marcus it's so wonderful to have Mom and Dad,because FAMILY IS EVERYTHING.❤
You guys did an amazing job…… it’s always fun when family helps…. Great bonding time. may I suggest a compose bin! 😊 you have so much natural material ( leaves, twigs.) Etc which will be great for your plants a great source of nutrients and will also help and be a great additive for your garden. Markus can build a compose bin in his sleep….. I am sure of it! 😊
You and Marcus are Relationship goals for all ages. Praying for continued blessings over you both!! 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
That is a big backyard and you guys did a good job bring it up to a 'garden' status. Well done.
Everything is beautiful! The blue hydrangeas are forced bloomed in a hot house. They may not look so great this first year and that’s ok. But next year they will be beautiful so don’t be discouraged. They need a season to acclimate.
For all the stocks in ur back yard we have a firepit we burn them all in firepit well as the pinecones and we also take some pinecorns and burn it in bbq gril for wood chuck it last longer burn in grill.for a long time. I love all your flowers 💐 that you and Marcus planted.. .
Dear Kayla the flower beds turned out beautiful
If you feel that some spots look bare you can plant some Boxwood bushes as they work great as “space fillers” and are very easy to maintain.
Also you can try bordering the beds with decorative bricks you can find at Lowes … there are many pretty patterns designs.
The home we bought has a mature garden in which the previous owner who was an avid gardener planted about 50 different flower bushes in the 40 years she lived here.. I felt so lost in the beginning I had no idea what I was doing… three years later now I know each variety and how to take care of them.. it’s like a magic garden … we have many variety of roses including climbing roses that climb over an arbor. Each month we get different blooms of iris azalea hydrangea .. wooded hydrangea hyacinths peonies lilacs, pow pow tree, smoke tree, and so many more.
-Look into Clematis* it’s a gorgeous huge climbing flower that loves to grow near rose bushes.
That would look lovely climbing on your fence
Also look into the beneficial Milk weed that attracts butterflies .. you woukd love those.
Anyway this comment is getting too long 🤣🤚…
You guys worked very hard on your garden and the finish product looks dreamy and will continue to be more and more magical in the years to come ❤️Keep growing❤
You Have the Best Smile Young Lady, and I'm impressed with your gardening skills, you and your hubby are so good at everything you do. God's Blessings to you both.
Everything looks AMAZING!! You and Marcus are killing the power couple, building equity in all areas, productivity goals!! And get chickens!! You will not regret it. Chickens are hilarious and so sweet...I love being a chicken mom. Can't wait for the next video ❤❤❤
Yesssss!! We want chickens for sure! Next year once we start our veggie garden we will look into it more ❤❤❤❤ I can’t wait! We wanna be like you!
@@YoungLadyBusiness they're yellow with chickens all over them🥰🥰
I love it! You guys did a fantastic job. Just a few tips for the future, you may want to rent a power auger to dig your holes; you can also add ground edging where the hay meets the grass. This really helps with mowing and with defining your lines. Put water in your hole or wet your roots when planting and add root stimulator. You look so pretty, Kayla. Love your smile and cute dimples. Love seeing you and Marcus working on projects. Great Teamwork! Your joy, when everything is done, speaks for itself. 🙂🙂
Hi my FAVORITE Couple, I didn't realize how big your backyard is. You can actually have a carnival in your backyard for fun. I am so glad I found your channel ❤Have a Happy And Safe 4th of July 🎉🎉😊
Great job as usual💯l the living room floor look amazing as well👍 young people like you and Marcus give me hope for the future
Oh what a beautiful, very large yard. An in-ground pool would be nice back there.
The one thing that I always loved about ur house was the property its truly a blessing to have this much yard. I would never even consider selling 😊
One continuous bed looks so much better. I learned a tip watching y'all put down the plastic and the pinestraw, I would've thought you needed to dig out all of the grass and remove it first. This will help me for my project. I also heard something about using old newspaper in lieu of the plastic.
Btw, between that shed and your land you guys have a great spot for an airbnb.
Te flower bed is looking good with the pine straw. You and Marcus work so well together " that is love"
This is beautiful as the white hydrangeas grow ginormous over the years you may have to move the roses and azaleas.. I have those white Hydrangeas and they grew 1 whole fence length and are peaking over my 6 foot fence .. I love that you are creating a beautiful yard and garden like this!! Remember get lots of clearance plants!! You have a lot of space!!❤
Your back yard is so nice. I love everything you planted it looks beautiful. You have such a pretty smile.
Your flower bed with continuous mulch is BEAUTIFUL! Your property looks like a blank canvas A GARDENERS DELIGHT👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 Greetings from zone 6a!!!
The yard looks beautiful. You are doing a good job. I'm a plant mom myself.Keep in mind that not all plants need full sun.
Q
Thank you, I will hun 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
I did fail to mention that on a positive note….It’s beautiful!!!🥰
Absolutely Beautiful!
What a labor of love that will be enjoyable to watch it take root and bare a beautiful backyard oasis ❣️
Like you I always have something dirty to haul in my car. That is whyvai keep 2 large dropclothes in my car for covering or wrapping things in. My husband was always asking why I needed to have my car washed so often 😊. I love your plant selection and yard.
I LOVE IT!!!
I’m glad y’all decided to do one panel of hay instead of individual circles of hay.
Kudos to Marcus and your fam for coming through!
Thanks so much!!❤
The flowers looks good next to the fence the whole line is so beautiful you have to keep everything watered until they catches roots everything looks so beautiful
Thanks love! 💕 yesss I’ve been watering them so so much! 🫶🏾
Yes you did it, and what a great job you two did. You are very hard working people. Everything looks beautiful too.
Hey! I JUST discovered your channel and I've been binge watching your videos, while enjoying a chill and rainy day in Texas. You're such an inspiration and you got really lucky when the universe brought you and Marcus together. It's a true blessing when you have a partner who matches your energy. You two are a remarkable team and I absolutely LOVE what y'all have done with the house and the business! Stay blessed, beautiful!
Great Job Kayla!!!!! I love seeing how you and Marcus work together. What a gift you are to one another! And having your family is just a bonus!!! Nothin' but Love flowing all around. So So beautiful to see. The flowers are gorgeous. Just a tip, did you guys check the soil close to the house? Prayerfully the plants grow fine, but if they don't I would check the soil to make sure there isn't anything in the soil from the house that would impact the health of the soil for growing your flowers. I know you guys will figure it out because you are hardworkers and you never quit! I have faith in you both!💕🌻🌺🌼🌷🌹🏵
I invested in a chipper!!! I have a "stick pile". Every fall my husband and I rake the leaves up & put them & all the sticks/branches threw it. I mix it with the straw/shavings that come out of my chicken coop & we throe it all on our gardens, herb beds & strawberry beds.
It all looks beautiful! Great job on the new bed, and definitely looks better as one continuous bed. Your white (Annabelle, Incrediball, etc) and Limelight hydrangeas can all take full sun. The colored hydrangeas need only part sun. You’re absolutely adorable!
Thank you hun! ❤
Absolutely Beautiful! You, Marcus and your family worked really hard on your flower gardens.
You all are such an inspiration to me. ❤
Awww!!! 😍 Thank you so much!
Hi Kayla. You can use those sticks at the bottom of your raised beds to prevent buying so much soil, and it will break down and fertilize the raised beds.
The continuous straw bed looks soooo much better. I Love it❤🎉
Hi kayla
The back yard look great growing your own vegetable save money and more healthy. Some eding to the bed will look great more easy to mow when everything is contained in borders again its looking great it is great to see family working on the same team. Tyfs.
Kayla, you, Marcus and the family have done a good job on your yard! You have inspired me to do something in our yard. I like how you mixed it up with the plants. Looking forward to see what other projects you have going on.🥰
Hey Kayla & Marcus!! Ya'll doing the doggone thang out in that yard!! It's a lot of work and maintenance so slow and steady. I love all the flowers at the fence and pine straw looked better the way you did it with it filling in the whole area instead of just around. You all did a great job with planting. I have a large backyard with lots of large trees also and I know about the stick and twigs and whatever that fall from those trees. UGH! You guys are doing the right thing with putting down the weed barrier real good. Weeds will be your enemy but you are starting off right. We are in our late 50s and can't do it like you two anymore so we hire out a lot of work. I love seeing young couples build a life together and you two do an amazing job with it all.
If you start a garden you can do raised beds and fill it in with the sticks and leaves.... WOW I wish I had that much land very nice.
The continuous bed of straw is Eeevereeething!!!!!! Your yard looks luscious. Beautiful job❤❤❤❤Tfs Pcoff🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Enjoy a young confidential couple doing well. So proud. Some plants can be split if you want to save.
Best part of my Sunday 😊
Kayla and Marcus you guys did a great job everything look wonderful it really bring life to the back yard
love the pone straw to give it a clean finish. It is so close to your fence. I hope it doesn't hold water. But, the flowers are amazing and the yard looks great.
Hi Kayla
There’s a ground cover called ajuga ( boggle weeds) look it up really nice. Each plant spreads 6’ so you can plant them 4 feet apart and you can enjoy the flowers that spring up from them. I like the mahogany one.
Hi Kayla, you guys did an awesome job in the yard. I am happy that you decided to make a border around the perimeter of your garden bed, it looks amazing. just a suggestion, you guys should invest in a plant auger that attaches to your drill to dig holes for your flowers, > I am 63 and I use this in my small yard. I physically no longer can do the turning of the dirt and it takes a third of the time to plant my plants. I love watching your videos, I am very proud of you and your husband.
looks great love the pine straw look ! we did something similar at my moms house but with red mulch instead , consider buying spot solar light for each plant to light up ! the dollar store have cute little ones for a 1.25 or amazon have great packs for a reasonable price ! your house is looking great !
Your home is beautiful. Your gave alot if land and a huge backyard. Your love your flowers.😊
Everything looks so good!!! I tried to see if it was mentioned. Just in case it wasn’t on the tag hydrangeas are poisonous to pets, take extra care if Marshy is out on that side. I can’t wait to see them in full bloom ❤
Hey Kayla 👋🏾 I think you all should start a compost pile back there with your sticks and lawn debris. Once broken down, it will be good to use in your future garden. Everything looks awesome! So happy for you guys!!
If you are going to do raised beds in your garden, the sticks and leaves can also be used in the bottom of the bed. That way, it won't take as much soil and compost to fill the bed before planting.
Love the flowers y'all went with. Grab some landscaping fabric stakes to keep the fabric down underneath the pinestraw. If y'all don't have plans to incorporate an irrigation system, please consider it for the near future. Lastly, have you thought about adding some bulbs to go in the ground/your windown boxes in the very late fall so they can bloom in the spring? Sticks: rent a chipper & make it mulch to enrich the soil for your garden bed prep.
Hi starting a raised bed gardens (veggies and fruits), and putting that at the bottom to decompose. Since you have all those pretty flowers they will attract pollinators which will help pollinate your veggies and fruits. Beautiful flower garden.
Looks great as a full bed . Very beautiful. Just poke holes in the plastic so water can saturate the soil.
You two are definitely the A team, great job
You guys need to get a root slayer shovel and a auger to go on Marcus drill.
Looks amazing Kayla!! Glad you went with the look of a flower bed. If you dig a little trench around the flower beds, it should keep the mulch in place so you don’t lose too much over time. Definitely rent an augur next time y’all do a big plant job. That would save Marcus a lot time and hard work. Love all the flowers you chose. Beautiful!!
Thanks hun! Yes, we need to do that on the backside of the house for sure! We also may add a landscaping border to define that space too!
I’m glad you changed it. It looks beautiful
Yes it’s much better like that. Y’all did a great job. The yard looks BEAUTIFUL. I Love You’ve done. ❤❤❤👏🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Beautiful job Kayla and Marcus. As someone who loves to work in their yard I know firsthand the hard work you guys put in to make it so beautiful…completely love it 😍
What a fabulous property you have! This is the first time I'm watching one of your videos and happy to have found you. You have so much space to compost all your leaves into leaf mold for next season and you will have gold on your hands for feeding your plants in your future raised beds. And if you are able to invest in a wood chipper you can make your own mulch from your branches. You have so much potential to allow your yard to feed and nurture itself including all the grass clippings. Awesome, awesome, awesome!
Beautiful vision and you’re very lucky to have the help of your family.
I love how you and Marcus work together
Absolutely beautiful. Great landscaping. Congrats on your marriage.
You have a beautiful smile. Great job. You both will be reaping your results.
Water them in really well and a little bio tone to help get the roots established. It looks really good!
I like with all the pinestraw always down like u got now.Straw make it look full
I suggest creating flower beds along the perimeter of the fence instead of planting in the grass. I also suggest pulling all the weeds around the trees and removing the vines that are going up the trees prior to placing the pine straw. It’s looking good! Good job!
Good luck with your new gardening adventures. Remember to add some curves in your garden, create secret garden rooms. Your property is large enough, enjoy and Use it all. Add flagstone and gravel areas, take your time, you don’t have to get everything done at once. And remember gardening is never done. Enjoy the ride
Kayla, my niece said "Oh, she's pretty!" as your video played on my TV. It was so cute. Also, yay! It looks great and will look even better once they mature! Great decision to make one large bed. Blessings to you and Marcus.
It’s not late it’s like an anniversary gift 🥰
Yes I like how you changed the area along the fence
BeAUTIFUL
