It's enduring to see camera-shy Paul seemingly trying to avoid the camera all these years ... but we can't miss seeing what a hard worker he is ... love him and Bethany too.
I hope one day soon you guys get a family photo shoot on the property done with your babies and baby tree's!
How cool would it be in 20 years time to see your children and trees grow in the same place, have the pictures side by side.
I agree. That is a wonderful idea. And, unfortunately, we all know how 20 years just flies by. It will be so wonderful to compare the two photos or videos.
Precious moments frozen in time! I treasure the pictures of my sons & grandkids growing up. LOVE seeing a close-up of the sycamore's unique leaves. Found myself smiling throughout this videos! Happy happenings! 😊
Your property is absolutely incredible! You, Aaron, Paul and Bethany are the hardest working people on earth. The contractors you work with are true professionals. We are are so lucky to enjoy this journey with all of you. Thank you.
Check the 1:20 mark - oh, who's that? Bethany...... 🤔 @@ourdakotacottage5374
Laura and Aaron, you should move that sumac to the new property as it will totally create a hedge, or border and it can grow as big as it's little heart desires plus it will add a lot of fall interest.
In a short while your neighbors will be enjoying or not enjoying the sumac. I spend a lot of time pulling volunteer sumac seedlings from my yard.
I’m from MI, and sumac spreads like crazy here. I warned her when she put it in, but apparently, she couldn’t hear me through the screen, LOL! Then, I thought, well, she knows more than me, and maybe it won’t be such a thug in the high desert. Ha! LOL!
Maybe you missed Laura laughingly suggesting sumac for the South garden and Aaron giving her side eye. 😂
Laura is in her element right now with the weather, the fall planting and all of the magical trees, especially Austrian pine! So beautiful!🌲🌲
You can hear in your voice the sheer joy for the continued growth & charm being added each day as the Garden Answer farm/orchard/formal gardens expand in beauty & habitat. ❤ it’s simply stunning! I am so glad I’ve been watching the channel as long as I have. It’s been so endearing to watch as the channel, your family, your property, & your enthusiasm for all things garden has grown & prospered! Thank you for allowing all of us into your lives every week, month, & year!
Now that the sand has been added between the rocks, the paths around the pond seem to shine, with each rock's unique design and shape becoming so noticeable. It's a beautiful and soothing space where wonderful family time can be spent in the years to come!
The new borders are filling out SO BEAUTIFULLY!!! One of the things I love most about your sharing your gardening with us is seeing your plant combinations! So very inspiring! Also Laura’s talent for garden design is so helpful!👩🌾🪴❤️🦋🌺
Absolutely love how the trees are going to transform this part of your property 😍 you and Aaron made some great choices that day at the garden center! Can’t wait to see how they mature! Pedro and his guys did an amazing job with the stone! I absolutely love starting my day with GA❣️🍃🍃
Good Morning everyone 😊
I honestly think you should dig up some sumac suckers and plant then along the fence to fill it in quick lol. I have a lot of sumac, it does great and the good thing is they are pretty easy to take out if you need.
Especially if they are wanting a natural look. It would be beautiful.
Amazing transformation! I’ve been following you since you moved into this new place. I can’t believe how much you’ve done . You’ve really transformed this property into paradise.
Wow! I didn’t think you’d ever top the Hartley series but SOOO much has been added this year, it’s incredible! The property as a whole is just coming together so beautifully. The added bonus of having help with big projects like the college plantings and the professionals taking on the pond so it wasn’t primarily on your shoulders…that had to be a huge boost to your energy and stamina to get thru the season. Although y’all still looked pretty whooped after the pond was done. 😂 SO WORTH IT!!
I agree - the team-up for the College project not only took a huge weight off of her physically, it gave her additional time to help Aaron's sister, Monica and her mom in the spring as well. Hopefully, they will be able to continue to do that so it's more enjoyable for her/Aaron.
@@AB-ol5uz that would be nice! Gardening at that level takes such a toll on the body, anything to increase longevity would be awesome. I started gardening thinking it would give me a break from my joint-busting hobbies. I was wrong!! Lol
The gardens are stunning!❤ Amazing that you stuck to your core beliefs as to what a garden should include (red, blue, green, and gold) winter interest, 3 season blooms, and plant where you think the plants will shine. They certainly do! Wow. Love the progress and love the views. Such inspiration. ❤ thank you
Good Morning Laura, I can see why everyone wants to see or walk through your property, it's becoming so beautiful.
I get such a HIGH from watching your video's! The transformations are so rewarding, and that is from just a "VIEWERS" point of view. I know you feel it 100% more than I do! The pond area is so beautiful and congratulations again, you and Aaron have done such a great job on all the area's. Thanks for allowing all of us to take this journey with you! 🥰
Aaron always looks on with envy at listener pictures with massive tree screens and now he’s getting his! I enjoy seeing what y’all install in various portions of your garden. Your garden is cohesive but highly varied - great inspiration for all of us watching!
Good morning beautiful people! Have a blessed weekend ❤🤗🤗❤️ The pathway is gorgeous and the plants and of course the trees, oh... love it 🤩. Awesome job Pedro and the crew, and all of you guys, Paul and Bethany are amazing 🤩as well!💜
It is amazing how the stone path curves with out the stones being cut?
The BLUEPRINT. Wowzers!👀 It all turned out AMAZING! To see you all talk through it months ago and to see the finished product is stunning and so peaceful, family. Amen!🥰🌟
You should pair with a local bee keeper and have hives on the outskirts of the property. They do all the work so you wouldn’t have too. I know you’ve had bees in the past. Love your videos. Thanks.
Hi Laura, I have been watching your videos for the past 2 years and the garden has changed so much. I sometimes like to watch the older videos for comparison. I wish you would continue making them for as long as you can. I know it's selfish, but I want to see all these trees in their full size. You guys inspire me so much. I never thought that one day I would be sitting in my balcony, looking at all the trees around my apartment trying to identify them and know their growth habits. It gives me so much joy. Thank you for that, I hope you have a nice day.
Good morning! Well you didn't disappoint. I knew the moment you planted those first 2 trees on the new property, there would be more to come quickly. It's so cool to be at the beginning of another new project and to know the transformation is going to be amazing! Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your property/projects. Much love from Florida! 🥰
Laura: shovel in & soil out. Me in Connecticut: shovel in and by the time I'm finished I have enough rocks for a stone wall.
Digging those holes for the trees looked like back breaking work! God bless Aaron, Paul and Bethany! I did notice some of those trees looked like they were planted really high, hopefully they’ll be ok.
Laura, your eye for what plants looks beautiful where, is an amazing gift! Thanks for sharing that gift with us!
The story from what I can gather is Aaron will be adding a lot of compost in the future plant them low they will die plant them high they will thrive.
@@nicholasmuni7995 I thought the saying was plant them high they will die, “plant them low they will grow.” No? Aaron…please remind me!
@@chrisrfan Plant them high, they won't die. Plant them low, they won't grow. Planting high ensures drainage away from the crown or root flare, whereas planting too low results in a basin where water is trapped, leading to a higher risk of rot.
@@Ibis333, only they don’t have a large amount of rainfall. We in the south get an average of 48” or above.In June in 3 days we had 19”, thankfully I live on a hillside, because the “Horse Creek “ below my house which is about 25 feet deep overflowed its banks. I also worry about their high winds blowing over those tall trees!
Yep going with the lighter sand was the correct decision. Pedro’s work is beautiful
And oooh to see all those trees planted and watering set up to all of them … lots accomplished in such a short period of time was great effort by all of you. Kudos 👍👍👍😮
Oh my goodness, the addition of the trees and evergreens on the new property looks so good! Your west side is stunning! And the Pond pathway, Wow! Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Love the pond!
I could look at your pathway all day long. It's so peaceful to me. I love seeing the trees go in before the end of the year. Your entire space is definitely at its best right now, so beautiful.
The path and patio area are so beautiful! If only we all could have a Pedro in our lives!!!
Wonderful to see Laura looking super happy and no wonder she is living the dream and deserves that happiness for how hard she and Aaron work.
Morning Everyone 🥰🥰
Video idea ..do a meet the team type video. And you do short interviews with Paul, Bethany, Pedro, and anyone else working on your land. Thanks for all you do Laura and Aaron.
Watching this video is like a breath of fresh air. Your commitment to creating a beautiful space with trees and perennials is commendable.
Wow Laura. I can’t believe how much your property has changed in just 1 year. It’s so beautiful and inviting. What a wonderful way to spend time with family. Outdoors!!! It’s a dream come true. So so lovely. What a great accomplishment. Pat yourself on the back girl!! And as always. Thanks for sharing 😉
Great job to Aaron and Paul. The trees look lovely. The pond - oh my gosh - stunning! 👍
You are like a bee working in the garden all day long!!! ❤🐝🐝🐝
The new property is starting to take shape. Waiting to see a barn being erected. That is still in Laura's mind.😅 Everything is coming along beautifully!!
What a week! I’ve enjoyed it so much! The trees, the perennials, and the beautiful pond! Thanks for sharing with us!❤❤❤
Great video today. And lots of beautiful plants you planted today. And you got the rest of your trees done by Aaron and Paul. And l did see Bethany there to helping out. Well done guys. Looking lovely. And what a great job Pedro and his team have done with your path way round your beautiful pond...Great job guys. Just so beautiful your gardens are. You are just so inspiring to us Laura.
Good morning! 🌻🐝
Let each child pick a tree. Make a big ceremony when planting "their" tree. Have them name their tree. Every year they will watch over their tree and compare with their sibling's tree. That tree will become so important to them for their entire lives. My grandparents did this for my brother and I. Over 65 years ago and we still visit "our" trees and protect them. Great memories.
The path is wonderful. Perfection leading to the perfect pond. Greg was right, it will change how you use the space and your family is building memories of evenings spent there.
Good Morning! 🪻🍁 The pathway is gorgous, the pond area is spectacular!!! Everything looks so good, love everything! Anxious to watch everything grow & fill in the blank spaces! 🥰🌲🌳🪻🍁🍂💚
Love that you are planting so many trees!!! I wish everyone with extra land would do the same!!!!
Wow! You two have built an Estate to last generations. The opening drone shots are relaxing and beautiful, loved it.
Pedro and his team are Rock Wizards!
The background music is my favorite! I've come to think of it as Laura's Theme although I think that's really in Doctor Zhivago LOL. It is just such a happy peaceful song. it makes every video over-the-top for me. Thanks for another sweet video of your garden life.
I can’t wait to see this garden in like 5 years
Good Morning all! Have an awesome weekend.The pond walk way looks awesome!
Hi Laura,
It feels like we are embarking on a new adventure on the property; it’s exciting.
What a year!!!
I think it would be interesting to of planted Purple Pink Purple…… a blended purple/pink drift!💜💗 Wow!!! Things are filling in so Wonderful!!!
Love seeing Bethany and Paul in the video, working. 😊
Love the music on this video ---- I chucked when I thought it was "I'm Dreaming of a White CHRISTmas" --- Aaron and his trees & Lights! Counting down to that! *** 93 days till CHRISTmas !!! ***
Nothing like setting a very high bar for your neighbors...lol. Bet if they want to see how plants do in your area...your a living testament as to what you should plant. Enjoy your videos with my coffee. Thanks for sharing.
A lot of people in our area are constantly complaining about the gumballs that fall from the trees, my son included. However, as a crafter, I love them. At Christmas they make cute snowmen and Christmas trees. I find other uses throughout the year. They are great for crafting with children.
Laura, I don't think you realize it, but even though your garden isn't planned out on paper, your expertise and vision allow you to create beautiful compositions as you go. You really are an artist painting the landscape. And we enjoy it very much! RC
YOUR WHOLE PROPERTY IS A PIECE OF HEAVEN. SO SO BEAUTIFUL. 👍👍👍❤️🙏🇨🇦
The pond looks great .I wanted a water Lilly and was told they didn’t like moving water with a fountain . Clearly your lilies did not read that memo,they are gorgeous. Don’t miss any video thank you.
I have so much appreciation of grasses now...the movement with the breeze, of them and some of the other plants, @ apprx 5:45 is just so pretty and calming! Wow the patio and walkway around the pond is just to beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a beautiful rest of the day and weekend! Take care, Kathy x
It is amazing the difference in that bed from now and three years ago. I bet Aaron is in hog heaven, (that is an old southern expression). Stone path and patio and pond, Amazingggg!!!
Oh my! Living in SC, I cannot imagine ever willingly planting a sweet gum tree. We are overwhelmed with them here and the spiky gumballs they drop are such a pain underfoot!!!
I just love starting everyday with you two! ❤
The patio and pathway around the pond looks fantastic. It will be fun to watch the trees grow. Thank you for sharing the wonderful Veronica plants.
I just LOVE THE PLANT IN THE CONTAINERS BY THE SIDEWALK WHERE SAMANTHA RIDES HER LITTLE BIKE. it is so free flowing and dramatic and a stunner. Ugh I can’t get over how beautiful it is. Great job!! ❤ I love you videos! I adore your family (a specially the babies but Mom and sis are cool too)! Wonderful team and the best thing is that you believe in God and that you are a role model for younger generations. God bless you and yours!
That view of the south garden is so gorgeous!!! That Austrian Pine is soooo beautiful. The pathway is looking great!
Good morning from Kentucky! I love all the new trees! Going to be beautiful. Love everything you planted today. The walkway by the pond is just beautiful. Love your videos. Have an awesome day!❤
Wow! Pedro and his guys are true master craftsmen! I love their work!!
My Mom made little Christmas trees out of the sweet gum balls, with toothpicks in every space, then spray painted and stacked🌲. Magical!
It's absolutely amazing how much you guys have done this year. Everything is looking so good. Christmas is going to be here before we know it . Can't wait to see how everything comes together. Your pond is just gorgeous. Great job everyone 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love to see all the trees in the new plants come in and when I see the pathway, I’m surprised by how much I love the area where the boulders are coming in and just kind of touching where the path is it’s just so natural looking I can’t wait to see what you do planting up with perennials more, but every garden bed is filling in so beautifully!
Loving how the gardens are developing, such beautiful areas. Honey bees and hummingbirds make my heart happy too❤your property is absolutely amazing!!
Hello Laura, I love all of your tree choices. Central Florida would only support a couple of those trees, zone 9b is too hot.
I'm picturing those trees in 5, 10, 2 tears!
Happy Gardening Everyone, 👩🌾👍
❤Peggy❤
It's so encouraging and enjoyable to see the gardens and areas coming together and growing. Thank you for taking us along!
Good morning from Delaware Garden Answer friends.
I'm starting to think that you really like Gardening 🌻🌲
I just finished watching the pond construction videos today, the first two yesterday and the last two today. I decided not to watch them at the time of release so I could see them close together. I was reminded when the walkway was finished it was time to see it all. It has all come together beautifully!
It’s amazing how much difference the trees make the new property look I am a tree lover
Just beautiful. I love watching these videos. I get good ideas and when I can't afford to do anything I live through watching.
Have you thought about creating a hill in the new property? It would add interest to the landscape and allow the kids to sleigh down in the winter. Also, you can make a meadow full of wild flowers there too.
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️
What fun to see Paul and Aaron team work plus a bit of Bethany too. Your music is always so great. Thanks for making our lives brighter while teaching us the ropes.
Laura, that pond area is absolutely amazing I can just imagine what it is like to sit out there in the evenings. And this winter it will look so magical with a layer of snow all around it. The new tree area wow so many beautiful trees what a difference it's making already in that area. You all have made so many changes this year. The landscaping is magnificent 😊❤. Thanks for sharing this video loved it as always.
God's blessings 😊❤
Nice looking paths! Kudos to the team. You and Aaron made a wise choice with the color of that sand for the path.
Those purple flowers in the pond look so beautiful!
That was a good call on the sand color. It makes the rocks stand out, but the pond really shines now.
It's Gorgeous at the pond! The Lilies' blooms are delectable!
Oh the trees, Veronica and the sand between the stone path are so very beautiful. Great video
How exciting to be laying a foundation of trees for the future. I was thinking this should be deemed your "Native Garden" area by incorporating trees and shrubs that are native to your area along with the other beautiful specimens. A Garden of Natural seems like it would be the next challenging and interesting evolution to your Eden.
You have inspired me! I found a Deodore Cedar (they actually grow in zone 8?!?! I'll take it!!) at the local garden center yesterday - the LAST ONE! - and grabbed it (poor thing's root-bound like crazy!)!! It's going to replace a beautiful magnolia that's seen better days...time for a change - and a Christmas tree!!🥰🌲
I love Veronica. I have a Veronica that has lasted me for the last ten years and still growing strong!
Aaron - Would love to know about your tractor and all the attachments you have for your tractor. Also gator information, lawn mower/spreader, etc.
Love the pathways they did an incredible job ! True artisans! The trees look great as well !🍁🌾🍂
Aaron......just saw a post where the person took the same picture, same time 1 a month for a year........it was neat to see the sun move.......but on your property....WOW to see the bulbs, the TREES, the grass so much.... just thought I would pass that on. Trees all look fantastic. Paul and Bethany are great. Thank you , Laura for explaining about planting the trees higher....I was sitting here asking "why". Nice to have an answer. Have a great day and Thank you all for sharing.
Good morning, Laura ☕️ The trees🌲 🌳 look amazing 😍 The pond is so stunning 🤩 You have so many spaces to chill and take it all in. Good for you! I love it all. Your Arbs, too are looking amazing! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Aloha Laura, I'm, just as excited as you on planting up the new property..😍🥰😍🥰😍😍
Great planting day. Love the plants. Oh no kidding Pedro the sand in between looks so gorgeous. What a difference and so rich looking. Wow. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
The path is beautiful. The sand makes it look like it one continuous piece of stone.
Must be nice to have those temps. Here in North Texas today it was 97 and humid. Always great to see trees being planted
Man oh man, I can see it now! Your draw to grasses with those center piece grasses in pots in the west side(?) garden, near the veg garden. Show stoppers!!
The pond area looks amazing. Will you decorate it for fall? I could imagine seeing it will pumpkins tucked around the area. Enjoy the day😊
If younger Laura could see the last shot of that video, standing beside her new pond with a Hartley in the background, I wonder what she would say. From a fan who's been watching for nearly a decade and has just bought her first house and ordered bulbs before she even ordered a fridge, a huge congratulations. I've loved seeing every step of your journey, well done on all your hard work. What a dream!!! 🌷
Congratulations on your new home 🏡🙏🏻🥰
Congratulations on your first home and bulbs 🎉
What a really nice comment!
Congratulations on your new house and have fun making it your home!
Congratulations! Good luck!
Priorities! 😊😂
