Ira a wonderful thing to learn how to create what you want, there’s always challenges seems you persevere very well, also I’m really enjoying your products.
Seeing you cry abut Harper made me cry. I’m so happy she pulled through. Thank goodness! Your garden is beautiful! Happy Mother’s Day!
Awe, you're so sweet. Thanks for your care! More updates to come as she continues this healing journey.
How is Harper Now ?
Garden area looks beautiful!! You guys are doing a great job! Continued prayers for Harper's healing ❤
Me too 😥
but....such a happy ending ❤ 🇦🇺
If you want to get a weed out,it’s good to pull out the roots too but if you want it to stay growing, please 🙏🏼 don’t
It's hard to believe how far we've come. Crazy to watch you go from not knowing much about power tools to operating heavy equipment 🥰 so much more to come!!
Awee that's so sweet. Thank you :) Love you tons.
Our pets are indeed our babies. Money is something you can always make more of. So happy Harper is doing well. ❤
Yes they are! That was our thought process as well. She is doing great as of today!
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done. I love the progress on the garden, but I also dig how genuine, emotional and thoughtful you are. These are reasons I never miss your or Kyle’s videos.
Wow!! Thank you. Tons like this to come as we truly transform the a-frame property.
@@allymariebrown I’ve been watching you and Kyle for several years now. Feels like you’re part of my family now!
Incredible to watch the "blood, sweat, and tears" you all poured into this dream garden, team Harper!
I was in tears thinking lil Harper wouldn’t make it, but bless her AND you for opting for the surgery. As a cat lover, I cried more tears of relief on hearing she was recovering at home. Grueling time for you, but upside is the garden looks spectacular!! Congrats on all the hard work Kyle and Ally. I have some awesome products from Ally’s Etsy shop and two canvas prints of Kyle’s fall shots. Love and healing blessings from Clayton & Trish in Idaho. ❤
She is doing so well as of today! Very excited to see her progress with time.
To have to make a decision about Harper ... one of the hardest ... I cried with you . Happily she is on the mend !! I had 3 loves of my life kitties one who lived to be 20 years old. Your garden is truly amazing !! So happy for you both .
Awe! Thanks for being so caring. I am hopeful Harper will live a long, healthy and exciting life :)
Kitties will always give you unconditional Love !
poor little Harper .. Im so happy she is okay ... I havent cried like this in a long time .. animal lover
I love love your garden .. u r a superwoman ! 😇❤️😇
Awe! Sorry to make you emotional, you sounds so sweet and genuine. Thanks for your care!
@@allymariebrown no don't apologize... they were sad tears then happy tears ... I pray Harper will fully recover soon
Your videos always bring a sense of peace and joy into my day. I love how you and Kyle live such a simple yet beautiful life surrounded by nature. It's incredibly inspiring to see how you appreciate the little things in life. Keep sharing your adventures with us, they never fail to make me smile! 🌿
I also love Noah's videos too.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a kind message, I really appreciate it :) Wishing you a lovely day!
Congratulations on finishing your garden build, it looks wonderful! So glad that Harper made it through, wishing her the best for the healing process!
Thanks so much for all of this positivity!
Oh Ally… seeing your dream garden literally spring up from the ground brought me so much joy. I’ve started to dip my hands into gardening thanks to your channel 🌱My heart broke when you mentioned Harper’s condition and I am thrilled that she is on the mend! The cost of her lifesaving surgery is beyond my imagination; but her life will be all worth it ( I’m a cat mama myself) 🐈⬛
Thank you! That’s incredible to hear that the channel helped you get into gardening. Wishing you the best!
Ally....Bravo...An ultimate beautiful garden. You should ( both) be proud of what you've accomplished. I am so happy for you on Harper's " ordeal". Soooo glad he pulled thru & into full recovery
Thank you! I'm so glad she's doing better too. She is so resilient!
beautifully filmed, edited & told
Thank you so much 😀
OMG!!!! This was a live, sometimes stressful video! Oh gees. Thank God Harper's surgery went well. Don't know how you or us would have dealt with that!! Gees. The garden is great. So many wonderful projects again.
It certainly was a rollercoaster of emotions haha. So happy things are working out!
I love you guys♥️. I feel so bad for you and Harper but I’m glad things turned out OK. I am a 71-year-old woman and I watch both of your posts all the time. I am so impressed with how hard-working, thoughtful and compassionate you both are. Keep strong and hang in there. ❤
Thank you so much for all the kind words of support!
"Learning to dance in the rain." Thank you, I needed that. 🙏🏽
Yes! So important to remember :) Mindset is everything.
So happy to see Harper made it through and is healing. I understand that pain all too well. Sending all the good vibes for continued healing.
And love seeing the garden! It looks incredible. Cannot wait to see things grow and be harvested.
Thanks for all the wonderful positivity radiating out of this! :) I'm sooo excited to see this place get lush and bountiful. And the things that are made form the plants.
Bless your hearts you guys! Our babies, no matter how many feet they have are still our babies. I’ve had both and I can say that my dogs and my daughter being sick is just as heartbreaking and scary. Glad you have a happy ending here! The garden looks beautiful!
omg my heart sunk when you were talking about Harper, as I was sitting on the couch with my 3 cat babies watching you. Sooo happy she's doing better. What a sweet little face she has. Congrats on the garden. Looks amazing!
Thanks so much for the caring thoughts and kind message :)
Your both so inspiring! I hope my children and grandchildren grow up to be the amazing humans that you both are! Keep up the great work. I can't imagine how much that surgery cost please let us follower know how we can help financially. I know I would be happy to donate to your new kitty health. That is my daughter's dream cat.

Stunning to see 2 young hardworking people working towards a goal that is just going to keep on giving
Firstly Im so relieved that Harper got through the surgery what a worry and she is such a cute and pretty kitten. I love your garden and enjoyed watching the process, really excited with your plans to develop this home and see what you cook and create from what you grow. You are a lovely couple x
Wow thanks so much!
So happy Harper is on the road to recovery ❤ Your garden is absolutely gorgeous!
Love your videos ❤
Happy Gardening!
Yes! She is so resilient. Thanks so much for being here and watching.
What a few days you all had! That was an emotional rollercoaster for sure. Praying for Harper as she recovers. You all have created a beautiful garden! ❤
For real! Thanks for the positivity :)
Ally this was another video that captured the beauty of living in nature and seeing how productive you guys are when having a plan and following through. It was also very emotional when you were telling us about little Harper and I cried with you! I’m so happy she’s doing okay. I only hope great things surround you and Kyle in the future. You both are examples of what putting in a good day’s work is all about. You have kind hearts and you deserve good things to come your way. I look forward as always to your next video…..Lisa 🤗🙏💓
Thanks for this very sweet and thoughtful message! See you in the next video this Sunday!
Seasons take their toll. Happy the little one made it through so much. What a struggle for a tiny body. I think this is one of those years when plants grow like crazy. Take care, mar
Thank you! Can't wait to see what the future holds.
I was just on the boulders trails noticing how abundant the garlic mustard is and wondering what I could make with it.... and here you are! 🙏🏽
I’m not sure if my response posted because my technology is glitching haha but this comment made my day!
@allymariebrown 🙏🏽Your video made my day. I've been waiting since I saw you guys, and you mentioned the garden was coming. And now I'll watch Kyle's video to double the pleasure. ☺️
Your garden is absolutely beautiful! I’m so glad Harper pulled through her surgery! I saw you crying and I lost it! I lost my Rosie girl at 4 months old. Almost same thing but hers was a heart defect. We spent a lot of money but she was to sick. 😢 I got both her and her brother so I could have litter mates. Breaks my heart he doesn’t have her anymore. Now my daughter had a cat and my cat and hers got along great now she moved out so he lost another companion! I will get him another friend.
You guys are doing a great job on your new home. Love watching it unfold. ❤
Thank you very much! Yes, Harper is so resilient. I am in awe of her! Sorry to hear about Rosie, sending love.
So happy Harper is doing better! Absolutely dream garden! ❤My boyfriend and I enjoy watching both of the channels so much!
Yes, she's so strong! Thanks so much for watching. :)
You and Kyle are such sweet people, love your videos, they are so calming. Glad Harper made it through, she’s going to have the best life with you both. Love watching your journey! Love how you two are so real, your struggles and triumph’s.
Thank you so much! Very grateful.
I love garden ,gardening, plants, flowers, vegetables, fruit-trees, yes all that grow. I have for ten year had my own house and garden. Sometimes I wish I had help, but it is so satisfaction to do it by my self, so I guess you will relax in your garden even that spring is a very busy time, but I love spring, summer is to hot for me, and in the winter, I hibernate
Thank you! Cool to hear you've accomplished so much on your own, what a feeling!
So happy for Harper!!🎉 but what I really came here to say is that your hair is looking incredible!!! 😍
Thank you so much! Day made.
Thank you so much for your videos, Allie! Seeing so much violence happening in the world, makes my heart get healed when I watch your videos!!! I adore Kyle’s and your videos!!! They are full of love, support and mutual respect!!! I wish you have a wonderful garden as well as remarkable life with your beloved people and kittens!!! 🙏🌷🌷🌷
Thanks a ton for this kind message. Makes it more worthwhile to create these videos when people appreciate them so much :)
Ally ... lavender essential oil immediately on a burn works like a charm. You don't get that blister, it's soothing and heals quickly. From someone who continually burns herself, it is amazing.
Oh I have heard lavender oil is miraculous with healing, scars too I think :)
New subscriber. I've been binge watching Trout & Coffee, & found your channel. Beautiful editing, & filming. Just like the other channel. I cant wait for your prospective on it all. God bless you both, & kitties!, and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 ☦️
Was sooo woried about Harper 😢 our kitten felt badly sick a few days after adopting her too... i can feel your distress i was the same 😢 super happy she is doing good ❤ so happy for you with the garden omg !!! I am dreaming of that too 😊 we are actually looking for a land ; can't wait to start 🎉
Ally, I cried watching you cry - pets are so treasured ❤ I’m so happy Harper made it and hope she grows stronger every day! Thank you for sharing the highs and lows of the garden build… it was refreshing to see both sides. And it’s a beautiful end result!! You’re one strong lady.
Oh. My. Goddess, your storytelling has become epic! I'm absolutely riveted by your process. I just made my full-time residence in the Sonoran desert in Slab City, CA. Talk about a challenge...the summer heat is one of the most intense on the planet here.
This means the world to me! Thank you! It has been quite the journey learning to not only film my life, but edit it and talk about it haha.
Absolutely my favorite video from you! Gorgeous garden space and a very expensive kitten. I hope she lives a very long, healthy life. ❤🧡💚💛💙💜
Oh my goodness, poor little Harper ❤️That’s a lot for a kitten to deal with but she is a strong little kitty with a loving family. You guys have had a rough week on top of being sick but you’re doing a great job on your land and your garden. It looks like there’s plenty of deadwood laying on the forest floor for you guys to keep your woodpile well stocked for a long time.
For real! Life has been crazy, but ultimately beautiful. Thanks for the kindness.
Get humane traps, catch those little buggers and set them free far away from your home, because they will find their way back. You can tape cotton balls saturated with peppermint oil behind picture frames, where cats cannot get them as well as other places. Maybe you can get creative with two- sided tape for this project. Get the plug ins that make sounds mice hate, and they will want to get out of your house but the sound won't harm your pets ears. You can put cotton balls in places where your cats cant go with the oils in it too. I hope these suggestions help. I am so glad you got that camera as well to keep the real pests out. Take care. Hope your kitty is feeling 100 percent soon.
You guys have been working so hard your garden is absolutely going to be beautiful and I’m so impressed at your hard work and how much you care about your beautiful kitten thank goodness everything went well and I hope she continues to recover. You guys are exceptional people love your videos so much.
Hey Ally, just a thought when you were mentioning wanting to keep your lawn a lush meadow instead of mowing in the spring. Maybe you could create pockets of meadowscape on dedicated parts of your lawn with native species for bird and pollinators. This is something we used to do for folks when I worked in garden design. I know how tough the ticks can be when you just let the whole yard grow. New kitten is adorable and the garden is out of this world!
Thanks for sharing, this is a cool idea!! :)
I’m so glad you chose to have Harper’s surgery and very glad she is doing well. Oh, and nice garden.
Yes! Thanks a bunch.
Hi Ally. Congratulations on Harper, she is so beautiful! I’m so glad she pulled through the surgery! That dress you had on at the beginning of your video looked so pretty on you. And congratulations on the garden; it looks fabulous!
Wow thank you so much, I am overwhelmed with the kindness. Have a great day!
I am in awe of your beautiful garden! I am also sending light and love for healing to Harper! It has been so wonderful seeing the beautiful home you and Kyle are creating. Wishing you all the best in your journey together.
Thank you so very much!
Great build Ally, but more importantly so relieved Harper is on the mend & you & Kyle made the financial decision to let the ER Vet do what they needed to do. Also, fantastic idea to do the video recaps to explain the back story of your channel.
Thank you thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed the recap-with so much in motion it's nice to get the backstory out there, especially for people who are new here.
Happy about Harper!!!! Happy gardening....my therapy.
Yay thank you!
❤I'm so happy Harper is better, and the garden came out spectacular ❤ I want to add that I love your golden highlighted hair, it really brings out your natural beauty. I definitely recommend keeping it this color and style; simply gorgeous!
Me too and thank you! Cool to hear you like the highlights, I was nervous to get them haha.
I completely understand yall. I pray shes ok. we had a emergency with our puppy in the winter.4,000$ later she is ok. yes our animals our are kids.one love. your heart break we have been there oo. im so sorry. but if it works 100% for trying .thats our mind set ..no price on the PURE love our Babys give us. its just pure love. so amazing
Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear your puppy is doing well! :)
I love hearing and seeing anything to do with your gardening, holistic herbalism, and cooking with them! I am so excited for your new setup! Congrats on the this new chapter plus a new kitty
Thank you so much! :
Keep rosemary by your garden gate. Plant lavender for luck. And fall in love whenever you can.❤️❤️
Yes!
Oh Ally you poor thing. Although it's reassuring to see others having one bad thing after another happen as I always thought the universe had it in for me😅. Joking aside I really hope all your injuries have healed and you feel better. And I also hope Harper is getting better. That poor little thing looked so helpless and so ill, but I'm sure between you, Kyle and her big sister Mowgli that she's getting all the love and care she needs. Garden looks amazing too, really jealous I'd be in there all day everyday ❤ Take care all, I always look forward to yours and kyles videos they are my ultimate hygge
Thank you so much for all of this!
So happy that Harper pulled through. What a relief. ❤ She can soon enjoy your beautiful garden with you.
Yes!! Can't wait to have her out there with me.
🤔The greatest gift is time ...
You can't make it and it's always running out... So your gift of time with each other 😍 is SOO 💖 PRECIOUS!! 😊
Yes indeed! :)
You guys are awesome, and Harper and Mowgli are lucky kitties to have great parents! Thank you guys for your videos. They are very soothing and educational at the same time. ❤ Keep up the good work and kiss the kitties for me. And btw, your garden is beautiful! 🌻🦋🐝🐞🌿
Beautiful garden Ally and so glad to hear Harper is doing better :)
Thank you so much!
Ah, so wonderful to see your garden progress😍
We're starting to build up our homestead this year as well (and also filming the process)! Up to now I always had to work with what I got when renting an apartment with a garden (which was nice and good to learn!), but next year I hope to be able to set up a garden that is completely like I imagine it to be!
I totally feel how fulfilling this is ❤ great job!
Thank you! Congrats on moving forward with your homestead and good luck as you get it all set up! I would love to see how it goes.
@allymariebrown I'll soon release a video about our garden we have here at our apartment 😊 from a green field of grass to a colourful and edible wilderness!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you grow in the gardening season 🧄🥦🍓
I am so proud of you! This was a dream fulfilled. It looks beautiful too. Thank god Kitty is on the mend 🙏🏻
Thank you! Yes, she's doing so well!
So glad about Harper! The Garden and you home is looking great! You Two have worked so hard!
Beautiful garden, beautiful home, beautiful babies, beautiful couple all makes a beautiful life.
I understand your emotions toward sweet little Harper so deeply... A handful of years ago, I had one particularly special kitten in a litter from a stray. His name was Belly, he was born with a bit of a swollen belly, but it wasn't of much concern at the time considering he seemed to have a little pot belly from indulging in milk. He was such a sweet, loving, intelligent little guy. I felt a special connection with him. But when he got to be about 4 months old, his belly got much bigger out of nowhere.
I took him to the vet only to discover he had an intestinal issue where they would somehow get knotted up and couldn't process food properly.. when they told me he needed emergency surgery, I told them to do whatever they needed to. I couldn't afford the $4,000 price tag, but it didn't matter to me. Like you, I felt he deserved a fighting chance. After a long and terrifying night, he survived the surgery and I took him home. But days later, he wasn't looking well... I found him laying on the floor, very lethargic. I took him to an emergency vet to figure out the issue. But they told me he wasn't going to make it. I had to make the decision to have him put down, and I was sure to hold him during his final moments. It was one of the most excruciating moments of my entire life, but I will never regret doing anything I could to at least give him a chance.
I'm over the moon to know she's okay, you guys did the right thing for your family member. I can't wait to see her grow up with Mow and enjoy the peaceful oasis you've created in the hills. So much love for you all. ♥️
Oh my gosh you had quite the experience as well! Sorry to hear about your kitten, truly. Thanks for sharing and for the kind words.
Wow! I'm so impressed and inspired ❤ The story with Harper made me really emotional and I'm so happy that she's doing well❤
Awe thanks! She is really so strong for a tiny kitten :)
You're garden is beautiful and thank you so much for saving sweet Harper. All my love to the four of you. ❤
Our pleasure! We're glad to have been able to help her give life another chance. Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing that less than sunny aspects of life. My Grandmother always said everything always comes in threes before it clears and it seems that was the case for you. I'm glad that Harper is okay and also that the leveler didn't hit your head badly. I gasped when it fell thinking omg she doesn't need another injury. The garden is beautiful and it will be wonderful to see how it blossoms and grows with you.
Wow that is so interesting to hear your grandmother's saying! Haha I couldn't believe how many things were going awry over the week. Thanks for the kind comment!
Superb garden structure … hope you are able to have a bountiful harvest year after year
I'm so happy your guy's kitty is okay & the garden turned out amazing! Also I just love how you make all organic products. I will support soon! :)
You and Kyle did a super job with the garden. Your homestead is really coming together. I look forward to future videos from you and Kyle as the season progresses.
Awe thank you! So much to come on this journey!
Well done to the both of you ,you worked hard and spent a lot of money on the garden.Hope you have great success with all that you planted.Hope Harper is keeping better, he is so cute.🥰🌺🌺
Ugh Ally you poor thing, you're such a trooper. The Universe was certainly testing you during this process, you were getting hurt in every other clip! Haha I can certainly relate to that. But it's looking absolutely phenomenal, congratulations on your new garden! Hard work truly does pay off
Haha it was quite the week. Thank you!
You go Ally! This is amazing!!
Thanks so much!
All the best for all of you
Thank you so much!

What a beautiful garden! I hope it's brings a bountiful harvest! So happy your little Harper is ok.
I hope so too! Thank you :)
You may want to consider some metal straping around the corners of those beds to hold them together. That soil pushes so hard outward you may start to see boards pull the screws through and come lose.
Thanks for the idea! I'll certainly keep an eye on this.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Hard work makes the outcome more rewarding. Your Garden is fantastic and so relieved that Harper is recovering well. Blessings to you all.
Yes it does! Thanks a ton.
Beautiful garden
Love the garden, and so glad Harper isdoing well. Its been one hell of a spring, that is for sure!! Beautiful work, and what a magical garden!!
Hopefully Harper will have a full recovery… you both did all you could to assure that. I wish I had the space to do a garden like yours… it’s so rewarding to have your own food and flowers that you were responsible for. Great job… Blessings to you all… 🌎🕊️ 🌜🌞🌛
Thank you! Yes, Harper is recovering amazingly! :)
Great job with the garden it's looks fabulous. I'm glad that Harper is ok too.
