And to think..all this started from some fairy garden diy’s in the back of your Townhouse!! Incredible journey and we all get to come along!! Great job guys!
Laura, if you had any idea what you give us! DAILY!! You have changed my life in SO many ways!! I went from down and depressed in 2020 to nearly a master gardner with all you (and now others as well) have taught me!! Mostly YOU Laura! If you could just see my yard and how it's changed since finding you!!! I also now have a cut flower business on the side as well! Jenn's Backyard Boquets!! You've changed my life, Laura, in so many positive ways!! Everyone in my family knows who you are now! You two deserve this!! More than you'll ever know!!!
Laura, I remember your saying “I just want my home to feel like the place I would escape to. You wouldn’t desire a vacation because your oasis is your home.” This purchase makes that reality come to life. We subs are so happy for you. Your thanking everyone for supporting you was such a gift. You have to know that you are truly a gift to us. There is so much negativity when we turn on the tv. Your channel is a nice resting spot. You never talk about politics, war and all that business. Thank you!! We love you, Aaron, Benjamin, Samantha, your Mom, Dad and Monica. Your Mom and Dad truly raised you right. Love and prayers for continued health, wealth and happiness!! Thank you to Aaron for sharing your sweet wife with RUclips. I think you knew we would love her as much as you do!! You’re right!! Thank you both for being the best role model parents. Wishing everyone a Happy 2024!! God bless!!🙏❤️🌸🇺🇸
Congratulations on the new property!! As a horse person I wanted to give a few suggestions as you develop that area and the barn for horses. 1. No Autumn Blaze Maples anywhere near the pasture. I love a red blazing maple in the fall just like you, however the red leaves are poisonous to horses. So plant a maple thats leaves go to a beautiful yellow in the fall instead. (Sorry for the bad news) Also any tree in the pasture area that horses can get to that have a Y trunk with the Y at or near head level, either get rid of that tree or cut off one of the two Y juncture. I had a friend who's horse got its head stuck in the Y and broke its neck when it panicked trying to get free. 2. Don't get rid of the light posts around the basket ball area. You will want to keep those and relocate them to your arena area. If you or your kids end up riding competitively they/you will be riding at night and those lights will be a godsend. 3. Pasture grass - plant a really good 3 way orchard grass and water it. You can harvest and bale that grass for your horses and not have to buy it on the open market. A good 3 way orchard grass per bale price right now is $25 to $30 a bale. Until you get horses, you can cut, bale and sell the bales at your parents garden center. Its extremely hard to find high quality 3 way orchard grass. 4. Barn ... if the barn doesn't currently have electricity, put that on the project list. You will want ligts in the barn, the stalls and the paddocks. If the barn doesn't have rain gutters, put that on the project list too as well as a French Drain system to flow the water away from the barn/paddocks and out into the pasture. If the barn sits at the same level as the surrounding land you will also want to do some earth movement to have the barn and paddocks higher than the surrounding land otherwise your paddocks and barn area will be a big muddy swampy mess when the snow melts or after heavy rain storms. Stall, paddocks and barn isleway .... rubber stall matting, and a roof over the paddocks. Nothing sucks more than sholving horse poop in a paddock in the rain. Having a roof over the paddocks keeps them dry, and provides shade for the horses in the summer. Rubber matting in the paddocks and stalls makes cleaning them so much easier. Of course in the stall you will be laying bedding on the wall to wall rubber Matt's. Don't use straw ... use sawdust shavings or pelleted bedding. If there isn't water lines to the barn, add that to the project list. Nothing sucks more than dragging a hose to fill a bucket in a stall. Instead you can install automatic waterers. Carve out an area in the barn to build a feed room and a tack room. 5. Wash rack - figure out a spot for your wash rack. That same spot can also be where you groom your horse and where your horse has appointments with the shoer and the vet. 6. Horse trailer -- side load all the way. Don't get a straight load. 7. Arena -- when you build it make sure the footing is done right. Also add in shredded rubber. It keeps the dust down and makes for great footing to work your horse on. Visit some horse facilities and talk to reputable companies that install arenas. A properly built area will be a worthy investment. 8. Entrance Gates to the property are important to ensure that is the horse get loose they don't end up on the road after going down the driveway and it keeps anyone off the property who may want to steal your horses, tack, trailer, etc. I know you guys have talked about installing entrance gates for security. Definitely have them on the todo list. ❤❤
I used to ask Santa for a horse every Christmas, and of course it never happened. When my husband and I moved to a small farm in Virginia my wish came true! I decided to foster horses for a rescue, giving undesirable horses a loving home. I asked a lot of questions, and did a lot of research. I loved every minute of it. They all ended up in good homes-one as a trail horse, one in a therapy program and the others returned to her owner after her cancer went into remission.
Is anyone else jumping for joy right now? I am so excited to see how the new properties develop. I am so happy for you both, thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
The excitement in your voices is such a joy to hear - and your viewers are so excited for you, too! I love how these land acquisition opportunities have lined up to help move you further along to the realization of your dreams for your property. Congratulations, Laura & Aaron!
So exciting! I’m glad you have Bethany to help with the horses. I’ve had horses my whole life. I can say horses saved my life. As a child going through trauma my horse was ALWAYS my refuge. I’m 64 and still ride. In fact I’m going trail riding today! Congratulations!
I stated watching your videos one winter while post partum with my second child. I had terrible depression and would lay in bed nursing her and watching your videos. I would stare my bedroom window, watching the seasons change. Come spring/summer I felt like myself again, like a Lil seed sprouting. That was 2017. These videos are so much more than just content to watch, they are hope. I know I shouldn't expect anything or put pressure one you guys, but I really hope they don't ever stop. Even if they did, I'd probably just go backwards and watch thru old ones again. Each of them is so intentional and educational. But in the recent years, feeling apart of the Journey and watching the family grow, it is a highlight to my days. Thank you and happy new year
There goes Laura living my best life! Congrats! I’m so excited for all of us, we really share in your joy, I couldn’t stop smiling during the whole tour ❤
Oh, I had hoped you could expand in both directions! Your hints kept my fingers crossed for you, especially knowing you had the extra feet next to your driveway. The last piece to heaven would be to have your brother or sister move into the empty house so that gate gets a lot of use. Golf carts for everyone! ❤ Happy New Year! 🎉
What a legacy you guys are building for your family. I am sure that Benjamin and Samantha will have the fondest of memories just as you do for your mom and dad’s place.
🎉 congratulations, how amazing to have been able to acquire the rest of the surrounding property! 2 in and out stalls and a foaling stall in the barn will give you a great start. As an equine vet tech, I look forward to seeing you guys bring animals into the mix and combine my loves of animals and gardening 😊 Happy New Year, I can’t wait to see what it brings
Oh, WOW!!!! This is so exciting. I caught onto your hints, but I just thought you were putting a barn in the dirt lands for a horse. You and Aaron are improving the lands there in your town and I'm sure all your neighbors appreciate both of you so much. I can't wait to see all the changes this next year. ❤😊
Congratulations on the new purchase. 12 acres is fabulous in a neighbourhood setting. You certainly deserve everything you worked extremely hard to achieve for all your family. I love watching what you have achieved so far and will certainly enjoy following on in the future.
Wow!!! Super exciting! So happy you were able to get more land-something you can pass on to your children and will be a terrific place to have family reunions. I gladly support your channel because you provide us with so much useful information and gardening advice, and allow us a glimpse into your life. 😊
Do you realize that you get all the things that you want and I think that is great you certainly work for it and all the things you want and get are good sensible lifetime investments that you and your family will always enjoy I don’t know you but I look forward to your videos everyday and I’m happy for you and your family
Bravo! Look at what all your hours of filming, gardening, editing, planning and work have gotten you! Your team is awesome. So happy for you. Looking forweard to many many videos to come on your entire property. Go Garden Answer!
Oh my goodness! Congratulations you guys!!🎉 I went running in to my husband after watching this video, exclaiming "they got more land! They got more land!" To which my husband replied," WHO got more land??!" Of course he knows all about Laura & Aaron because he listens to your videos nearly every morning as we both get ready for work. I'm just so excited for you and your children, and we will all enjoy watching and learning with each video you make in developing this new plot. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. May Blessings abound. 😊
How exciting. One of your previous videos back months ago you slipped and I thought something was going on bc you took a sign and said, “ uh, what I wouldn’t do if we only had this space too!!” I figured something was in the works. Blessings friend, so super happy for yall. Happy New Year and congratulations 🎊
This is so exciting! You two have come a long way and worked diligently to get where you are now! What a fun year of projects and videos to look forward to! Thank you for sharing your exciting news with us!
Congrats! Will love to see how you transform the new property. Note: horses and trees sometimes aren't a good mix. Horses can chew on trees, so just think of that when placing where trees will be. Also some tree leaves are poisonous to horses. I know you will do your research. Love this for you and your family, so exciting.
Yes in Canada the red maple is lethal to a horse not even one leaf as my sisters has had several horses they do reining and help advising our grandsons the knowledge they had when the twins wanted horses as they have been reining for over 25 years ! So very aware of and had to send one horse to university of Guelph ontario vet school for large animals and saved one of the horses and found out out was the food supply as not regulated as well as human consumption! So much to be aware talk to local horses people they are so full knowledge like you Laura with your work you do ! But fun for a family to own and care for horses teaches young one responsibility! Happy new year to you and your family !
Remember when you lived in the other house… who’d a thunk you’d become land barons!!! Blessings. Oh those in and outs are called paddocks. Aaron you should plan on moving those lights to the barn area,because when you have livestock you have veterinarians in the middle of the night and lights make everything a whole lot easier.just saying since you are so great!at presumptive infrastructure. Sure makes life easier
You are lucky. There is 28 acres behind our house. But its a forest. Part of our current acre there are a lot of trees that are attached to it. If I had youtube money I would buy it and cut down the trees. Iv only bought close to 600 plants but still working on my garden. We have been only in our new house for 3 years and had to take close 20 trees down , due to dying or weakness. That is the expansive part which is making my dream of big garden to slow.
Congratulations to you two!! I know how exciting this is and seeing the perma-smile on your face, Laura, is such a warm feeling. You deserve it. Happy for you!
Being a fan since I was about 7 you guys have really taught me a lot about plants now I'm 16 and still watching this amazing garden evolve thank you for posting thorough the past 10 years. Hope you guys have a great new year with good health and keep up the good work!!!
How rewarding it must be to Laura and Aaron to know that their hard work and knowledge sharing is inspiring not just their own young children ultimately, but other young people, as well! God bless you as you continue in your learning journey!
How exciting that you’re finally able to share with all your viewers! I love the idea of continuing the maples up the lane and the possibility of new livestock on the land.
WOW,ALOT HAS HAPPEN IN YOUR LIVE'S, I STARTED WATCHING YOU BEFORE YOU GOT MARRIED,,,YOUR FIRST HOUSE,,I FEEL I'M PART OF YOUR FAMILY,,HAHA,,SMILES,,BEAUTIFUL FAMILES,,,,LOVE YOU GOING SHOPPING WITH YOUR MOM,HER LAUGHING I CATCH,,,LOL MAKES A HAPPY DAY FOR ME TO WATCH,,YOU ALL,,,NANCY FROM TENNESSEE, I STILL WEAR YOUR GARDEN SHIRT,,,,,HAVE A BLESSED DAY,,
Congratulations on another successful acquisition…we can’t wait to see what all you accomplish in the New Year! May the LORD continue to bless you, and your sweet family! Your hard work, love for one another, and grateful hearts are a blessing to each one of us! Happy 2024!!🎆🎆🎆
I did not get the Memo but is this why we did not get a lights tour Christmas 2023? Excited for all the new things in your property expansion and anything else you may want to add 😉! Happy New Year! 2024
Call me sappy but this video made me cry happy tears for you guys. I have watched your progress since the beginning and you have all worked so hard and are still humble, may God continue to bless your lovely family. Oh my, you just showed the long fenceline.....Aaron is going to be sooo excited to buy new bigger trees, WHOOP WHOOP!!!
Well this is exciting to say the least!!! You have been such an incredible wealth of knowledge for me over the years if you need any help whatsoever for the future equestrian plans don’t hesitate to reach out! I can’t wait to see these spaces come to life 😍 big congratulations 🥂
Thank you, Matt! I will definitely be reaching out. It's not a matter of if, just when. 😆 I'm hoping we get the water/electrical figured out quickly so we can start looking for horses soon!
Damn that is an unexpected crossover! If Laura and Aaron visit the Netherlands for the crossover you should definitely show them the Keukenhof gardens.
Wow! I watch both of your channels! Matt, I've been following your journey since just before moving with Chase from Australia. At your last house I loved the gardens, it was like getting two for one; horses and a beautiful garden. With Garden Answer, I get beautiful gardens, and soon will also get horses. Win, win!
When Laura showed us the gate in the fence who else thought that someone close (maybe Monica's) might be buying the house?? So much fun! Congratulations Laura and Aaron! More space for the dream stream!!! I have a stream that runs through our 10 acres and we spend so much time at it. What a dream this is! So happy for you!
I did think there would be potential for them to purchase this property also. After reading your comment, I wonder if they will purchase this property so they can live in the house while they demo their current one? Hmmm, time will tell.
@@CAHM_1 Oh that makes even more sense! This way they are still onsite to work the gardens and their life really wouldn't be interrupted during the house remodel. I feel like being a soap opera fan and a Swifty I read in to every detail like its a clue dropped for us to pick up on. lol
All the not so subtle winks made me laugh every time. Congratulations! So many exciting days to follow. I can’t wait to see the animals you and the kids get to care for, and of course all the garden spaces too! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
This is blowing my mind!!!!! Your boundaries have extended not only beyond your pond but behind the barn and greenhouse!!!!! Like a whole new world!!!!!!!
Congratulations on your new land!!! So happy for you and your family, your opportunities are endless! The excitement of Laura… I don’t think there was a second she wasn’t smiling from ear to ear 😊❤. Love it!! So happy for you and all of your new adventures and beauty to will bring to your new property!❤️ I can’t wait to see the progress unfold!! Happy New Years!!!!🎉
This is AMAZING! So excited for you. As a parent and gardner…top tip would be…to wait on removing the lights! Your kids are still so young….you may love those court lights in future!!!
Congratulations!!!! Watching your excitement and hearing Aaron's is so awesome. Can't wait to see how you guys transform it all. Happy New Year to your family.
Aaron, Laura! What a wonderful way to ring the New Year 2024! With God blessings to you guys with the purchase of new property! I’m sure that you two will manage your blessings to something beautiful! I praise God for your new addition! It is a joy to see Laura’s joyful face! Thanks for sharing with all of us this wonderful time of happiness! 💥🎊🥂🍾🌺🎈💟🏡🌲
❤😊 Congratulations and Many Blessings too Ur New Beginnings!! Awesome and Amazing Excited For U All, Sweet and Smart!!! ❤😊 Ready to see what Ur Plans are and how U all Transform this All!! We were in Prayers New U were in Plans because that Basket Ball Hoop... lol Didn't Bother U Both!! How Awesome and Amazing Smart Move, again CONGRATULATIONS WHAT A NEW YEAR'S SUCCESS, OPPERTUNITY BEGINNINGS BEAUTIFULLY!! ❤😊
I am THRILLED for you both and can only imagine how hard it was to keep this under wraps! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us; the good, the bad, and the ugly. 😉 It is such a pleasure to know I can watch your channel not only for garden answers but to escape from what can be a divisive, sour environment at times. It’s very much appreciated. Wishing you and your family a very healthy and Happy New Year filled with much joy!
It was so hard! I didn't even allow myself to think about how the layout was going to be or what we'd put where until we officially signed. So now, we can really start getting things organized and ready to roll for spring! 😃
@@gardenanswer you go girl! Heh heh, bet you’ll be up nights thinking and planning with a big, wide smile on your face. So, SO happy you’re enjoying the whole process of making your dreams come true. 😉❤️👍
Plant more native plants between the trees! With irrigation you'll see how lovely everything is :D. You could be a stop on Monarch migration. Congratulations. So excited to see what you do with the new land.
That’s only 12 acres?!?! Looks huge and amazing! I’ve been looking at some land near me. There’s a 20 acre property and this makes me think it could be transformed.
Congratulations!! You guys deserved all the success. You are such an inspiration for somebody like me who is just dreaming of flowers that I could grow 9 years ago. I started my dried flower business late this year and have been successful on my first gig. I will be starting my fresh cutflower business this coming spring. All of these successes that we are experiencing wouldn't be possible if I had not followed you since the beginning of my own journey. Just know that you are changing lives that you might not be aware of. Thank you for all the knowledge, Laura and Aaron. I am always excited whenever you guys do those big trees shopping. Now, I will look forward to the "Let's go and shop for some horses and cows" shopping videos!!!🥰🥰
This so so true in so many simple ways! I have also been watching since the very early days at the townhouse! I have even discovered art from someone who sent Laura and her mom a very small painting. Carolina Elizabeth art. I couldn’t afford her paintings but I have snagged some prints. I also discovered Grace Rose farms from an unboxing video (I-sure miss those) turns out she lives near me and started selling rose bushes! I am lucky enough to have 5 of them in my own garden. My love and enjoyment from so many things your videos have shown especially succulents, fairy gardens, drying flowers, wreaths seed starting the lists goes on! I am so happy for you and Aaron. I feel like you are our friends! Congratulations and thank you for all the joy your videos have brought me! Especially when I was having a hard time! 💜 3:27 3:27
Congratulations!🎉 So very excited for you!!! This is so wonderful!!! Thank you for taking us along the journey with you!!! You continuously provide so much inspiration and joy!!! Blessings and Grace to you all!! Kimberly
Laura & Aaron, how exciting! Looking back I do recognize the "hints" you two made about this property. If I were one of your neighbors I'd love what you've done for the neighborhood by adding so much natural beauty and trees, and one surprise after another. All I can say is I so look forward to watching you "develop" this new addition to the "homestead." What a legacy you are creating for your children! Thank you for taking us along on this journey! (A tennis court! Love it!)
WhooHoo Congratulations we are all so excited for you guys!!! Bwahaha I got a crick in my neck watching this…every time the camera angle changed I was craning my neck trying to see around you, 😂😂😂
Congratulations on the gaining that last piece of property, it'll really make a huge difference if you guys want large animals. It's gonna be so beautiful... you two always make everything more beautiful. Happy New Year.
I've been praying that you get that additional land to complete the lane back to your house. I am sooo happy for you. I was wondering if Aaron could give a detailed video on his thought process for deciding the infrastructure. I have a similar situation with raw land and am not sure where to begin. How do you decide where to put power outlets or where to trench. ect...
I think that's a great idea. I'm sure once we get our plan sketched out, he would be happy to sit down and explain all of the infrastructure related plans. 😄
CONGRATULATIONS & Happy New Year ! 🍭🪅🎉 I was soo excited to see you standing in front of your new barn, a huge item on your bucket list ! 👏🏻👍 I know you would do this, but I’m passing on advice given to me . When your planting trees around your pasture, make sure you research the safety of them for animals ! I never knew red maples were poison to horses & it might be if the leaves are dead . 🤔🧐🤷♀️( I thought that meant red leaves, but no, the red veining in the leaves) If we ever had a sick horse, the 1st question would be the type of trees that they may have been in touch with ! Love & Hugs to you & your family ! 🙏❤️🙏 I know you get ugly letters , this is not intended to be one. I would be heart broken if you took it that way! Just a note before you start planning & planting. 😉
😮wow! Heard the hints but I was just trying to make my containers look like Laura’s! 😊😂 So incredibly proud of your success Laura and Aaron. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. So inspiring.😊😊
Wow! Congratulations! This is so exciting to be able to see what wonderful projects are ahead. And you bought a hill. When I saw the drop off, I wondered what will Laura do with that hill......So happy for you both. You can hear the excitement and joy in both your voices. Marvelous.
So happy for you! Yup I noticed the hints but thought you'd share when you're able. 😊 We just moved to a new home, 22acres , 8 acres water, 10 acres pasture and the rest my play yard ! Can't wait to dive in next spring. 😊❤😊
@@gardenanswer We also have horses, six at this time ,plus two little colts . We were married the same year you guys were and are approximately the same age as you guys . We also have two children, a boy and a girl, but we had them early in our marriage, so they are fifteen and sixteen . Most of the horses are our son's as he likes training them to ride and drive, for himself and other people . We moved to this property partially for his sake as we only had two acres where we were and this new property was set up to train race horses . It's a bit of a fixer upper but has a lot of potential! 🥰😄
Well, thank you for my late Christmas present. 😊😂 I kept going over where the land was, and then you showed the tennis court. My heart started racing, and I got so dang excited! I am so happy for you and Aaron!! Now I have more land to sit and enjoy the views. (In my head) You and Aaron have a barn like Jason and Brooke at Cog Hill Farm. Well, theirs is a little bit bigger than yours. You need a donkey, emu, cows, ducks, geese, dogs, pigs, and goats. You already have the chickens. Benjamin and Samantha are going to love having all the land to explore 😊❤.
Samantha needs a miniature donkey, Benjamin & Aaron can race battery powered motor cars on the basketball court. And Laura can use the basketball court as a dance floor for her Fall Harvest party.
Aaron and Laura… I think taking basketball court lights out may not be the best idea. Having teen boys that loved playing with friends in the summer evenings was such great fun for them. I think Benjamin and Samantha Grace will love it too. Anyway just a thought from a mom that had her kids totally enjoyed lighted hoop time. And of course stopping at a reasonable time for the sake of the neighbors is exactly right.
Congratulations! Two things: 1) Stripe the tennis court part for pickleball. You, your kids, your parents and your wider family will love it. 2) Please contact your local native plant organization about wildflowers. You could be so influential about the importance of natives!
You really brought it for the New year! Congratulations!!Your heads must be spinning with ideas and plans. More property areas to name 😂 I hope Aaron eases into basketball, lol. Don’t want any weekend warrior injuries.
Congratulations….you’ve always wanted this! What’s really cool is that you are buying back and re attaching some of the original farm land. Here comes the horses!
Our teens would die to have a lighted court! They play till midnight all summer with our porch lights. As long as the basketballs are bouncing the whole neighborhood is happy.
So exciting to see what you’ve been planning! Horses, cows! I love it! The videos will be even more fun. I can just envision all of you riding your horses across the pasture! Congratulations on this purchase! ❤
I didn’t think your property could get any more magical, but here we go again! So HAPPY for you to start the NEW YEAR this way! Thanks to you and your crew for the great entertainment and education you provide.
Hello fellow GA fans, Happy New year for you all. Whilst watching Laura thank us all I expanded a little and thought,, Through all of us we have contributed to helping the environment through Laura and Aaron. I sort of feel a little chuffed about that. Can we all imagine how the insect, bird world with be these new little homes they will have. Thank you so much for all of your dedication and love you put into your work....
WOWZER~. !!! I'm late to the party... with the holidays and the house full.... I'm way behind on RUclips videos! Congratulations! What an amazing property you already had... and to add all of this? ! Just wow! It'll be fantastic. Can't wait to see the animals you will add to your family! Fantastic start to 2024!!!!!
Congratulations! I would strongly encourage you to consider shade trees strategically placed for any live stock you might consider having in the future. Lack of shade in high heat would obviously be a problem. I’m guessing you’ve already thought about that. Good luck moving forward.
And to think..all this started from some fairy garden diy’s in the back of your Townhouse!! Incredible journey and we all get to come along!! Great job guys!
Loved that little yard. Great journey, right
Well said’🌸🌸🌸
I love when Aaron talks from behind the camera. That is very natural and makes sense. It adds information and it's pleasant to see you two interact.
I’m
Laura, if you had any idea what you give us! DAILY!! You have changed my life in SO many ways!! I went from down and depressed in 2020 to nearly a master gardner with all you (and now others as well) have taught me!! Mostly YOU Laura! If you could just see my yard and how it's changed since finding you!!! I also now have a cut flower business on the side as well! Jenn's Backyard Boquets!! You've changed my life, Laura, in so many positive ways!! Everyone in my family knows who you are now! You two deserve this!! More than you'll ever know!!!
This ❤❤❤❤
Awwwww…..yes, she’s very heart warming
KUDOS!!!
Wow congrats!
That's absolutely brilliant, well done Jenn ❤.
Laura is such an inspiration
Laura, I remember your saying “I just want my home to feel like the place I would escape to. You wouldn’t desire a vacation because your oasis is your home.” This purchase makes that reality come to life. We subs are so happy for you. Your thanking everyone for supporting you was such a gift. You have to know that you are truly a gift to us. There is so much negativity when we turn on the tv. Your channel is a nice resting spot. You never talk about politics, war and all that business. Thank you!! We love you, Aaron, Benjamin, Samantha, your Mom, Dad and Monica. Your Mom and Dad truly raised you right. Love and prayers for continued health, wealth and happiness!!
Thank you to Aaron for sharing your sweet wife with RUclips. I think you knew we would love her as much as you do!! You’re right!! Thank you both for being the best role model parents. Wishing everyone a Happy 2024!! God bless!!🙏❤️🌸🇺🇸
100% agree!
I totally agree! Perfect sentiments 👌 😊

Congratulations on the new property!! As a horse person I wanted to give a few suggestions as you develop that area and the barn for horses.
1. No Autumn Blaze Maples anywhere near the pasture. I love a red blazing maple in the fall just like you, however the red leaves are poisonous to horses. So plant a maple thats leaves go to a beautiful yellow in the fall instead. (Sorry for the bad news) Also any tree in the pasture area that horses can get to that have a Y trunk with the Y at or near head level, either get rid of that tree or cut off one of the two Y juncture. I had a friend who's horse got its head stuck in the Y and broke its neck when it panicked trying to get free.
2. Don't get rid of the light posts around the basket ball area. You will want to keep those and relocate them to your arena area. If you or your kids end up riding competitively they/you will be riding at night and those lights will be a godsend.
3. Pasture grass - plant a really good 3 way orchard grass and water it. You can harvest and bale that grass for your horses and not have to buy it on the open market. A good 3 way orchard grass per bale price right now is $25 to $30 a bale. Until you get horses, you can cut, bale and sell the bales at your parents garden center. Its extremely hard to find high quality 3 way orchard grass.
4. Barn ... if the barn doesn't currently have electricity, put that on the project list. You will want ligts in the barn, the stalls and the paddocks. If the barn doesn't have rain gutters, put that on the project list too as well as a French Drain system to flow the water away from the barn/paddocks and out into the pasture. If the barn sits at the same level as the surrounding land you will also want to do some earth movement to have the barn and paddocks higher than the surrounding land otherwise your paddocks and barn area will be a big muddy swampy mess when the snow melts or after heavy rain storms. Stall, paddocks and barn isleway .... rubber stall matting, and a roof over the paddocks. Nothing sucks more than sholving horse poop in a paddock in the rain. Having a roof over the paddocks keeps them dry, and provides shade for the horses in the summer. Rubber matting in the paddocks and stalls makes cleaning them so much easier. Of course in the stall you will be laying bedding on the wall to wall rubber Matt's. Don't use straw ... use sawdust shavings or pelleted bedding. If there isn't water lines to the barn, add that to the project list. Nothing sucks more than dragging a hose to fill a bucket in a stall. Instead you can install automatic waterers. Carve out an area in the barn to build a feed room and a tack room.
5. Wash rack - figure out a spot for your wash rack. That same spot can also be where you groom your horse and where your horse has appointments with the shoer and the vet.
6. Horse trailer -- side load all the way. Don't get a straight load.
7. Arena -- when you build it make sure the footing is done right. Also add in shredded rubber. It keeps the dust down and makes for great footing to work your horse on. Visit some horse facilities and talk to reputable companies that install arenas. A properly built area will be a worthy investment.
8. Entrance Gates to the property are important to ensure that is the horse get loose they don't end up on the road after going down the driveway and it keeps anyone off the property who may want to steal your horses, tack, trailer, etc. I know you guys have talked about installing entrance gates for security. Definitely have them on the todo list.

They all ended up in good homes-one as a trail horse, one in a therapy program and the others returned to her owner after her cancer went into remission.
That is such a heartwarming story, thank you for sharing.
Wonderful way to help others and enjoy your love for horses. I love horses, but unable, for several reasons not able to enjoy having one.
I really enjoy raising animals, but unfortunately, I can't.
Such a blessing from God! 🙏🏾 I'm so happy for you🎉 congratulations.
Is anyone else jumping for joy right now? I am so excited to see how the new properties develop. I am so happy for you both, thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
You both are young, so energetic and have the money to build this dream. We elders just sit here and watch the process ... Congrats!
The excitement in your voices is such a joy to hear - and your viewers are so excited for you, too! I love how these land acquisition opportunities have lined up to help move you further along to the realization of your dreams for your property. Congratulations, Laura & Aaron!
Congratulations! The large stall without a paddock is a "Mare's Stall" or a "Birth Stall". It is more protected from animal or weather pressure.
So exciting! I’m glad you have Bethany to help with the horses. I’ve had horses my whole life. I can say horses saved my life. As a child going through trauma my horse was ALWAYS my refuge. I’m 64 and still ride. In fact I’m going trail riding today! Congratulations!
Congratulations! Your neighbours are so lucky to have a “nature park”in their back yard.
🌲Happy New Year🌲
Yes, and a promise of no more houses being built.
I stated watching your videos one winter while post partum with my second child. I had terrible depression and would lay in bed nursing her and watching your videos. I would stare my bedroom window, watching the seasons change. Come spring/summer I felt like myself again, like a Lil seed sprouting. That was 2017. These videos are so much more than just content to watch, they are hope.
I know I shouldn't expect anything or put pressure one you guys, but I really hope they don't ever stop. Even if they did, I'd probably just go backwards and watch thru old ones again. Each of them is so intentional and educational. But in the recent years, feeling apart of the Journey and watching the family grow, it is a highlight to my days. Thank you and happy new year
This was exactly when I started watching too. In 2017 when my second child was born! I echo everything you said.
CONGRATULATIONS! Dreams do come true!❤
There goes Laura living my best life! Congrats! I’m so excited for all of us, we really share in your joy, I couldn’t stop smiling during the whole tour ❤
Oh, I had hoped you could expand in both directions! Your hints kept my fingers crossed for you, especially knowing you had the extra feet next to your driveway. The last piece to heaven would be to have your brother or sister move into the empty house so that gate gets a lot of use. Golf carts for everyone! ❤ Happy New Year! 🎉
I was thinking the same thing, I want Monica and her husband to live in that house next door.🤞😁
And a path to go back and forth in.
I thought the exact same thing as well. A gate you say .... hmmmmmm.
@@deannawilliams1655Right?? Wink wink ! 😂
There’s a house just thought they where buying the neighbors pasture
What a legacy you guys are building for your family. I am sure that Benjamin and Samantha will have the fondest of memories just as you do for your mom and dad’s place.
🎉 congratulations, how amazing to have been able to acquire the rest of the surrounding property! 2 in and out stalls and a foaling stall in the barn will give you a great start. As an equine vet tech, I look forward to seeing you guys bring animals into the mix and combine my loves of animals and gardening 😊 Happy New Year, I can’t wait to see what it brings
Super exciting! Can’t wait to see what you do with the new space. Love the idea of having animals!
What a wonderful journey into 2024 🎉
Oh, WOW!!!! This is so exciting. I caught onto your hints, but I just thought you were putting a barn in the dirt lands for a horse. You and Aaron are improving the lands there in your town and I'm sure all your neighbors appreciate both of you so much. I can't wait to see all the changes this next year. ❤😊
Same, I was all wrong with the hints - LOL...! But this is FANTASTIC for all of us in RUclips land :)
Congratulations on the new purchase. 12 acres is fabulous in a neighbourhood setting. You certainly deserve everything you worked extremely hard to achieve for all your family. I love watching what you have achieved so far and will certainly enjoy following on in the future.
Oh Laura you got your horse barn!! So happy for you 💚 congratulations!
How delightful... This is a great way to start 2024. Congratulations.
Finally, a natural pool will fit perfectly fit in Laura’s garden 😅
Wow!!! Super exciting! So happy you were able to get more land-something you can pass on to your children and will be a terrific place to have family reunions. I gladly support your channel because you provide us with so much useful information and gardening advice, and allow us a glimpse into your life. 😊
Thank you so much! 😊
Do you realize that you get all the things that you want and I think that is great you certainly work for it and all the things you want and get are good sensible lifetime investments that you and your family will always enjoy I don’t know you but I look forward to your videos everyday and I’m happy for you and your family
Bravo! Look at what all your hours of filming, gardening, editing, planning and work have gotten you! Your team is awesome. So happy for you. Looking forweard to many many videos to come on your entire property. Go Garden Answer!
Oh my goodness! Congratulations you guys!!🎉 I went running in to my husband after watching this video, exclaiming "they got more land! They got more land!" To which my husband replied," WHO got more land??!" Of course he knows all about Laura & Aaron because he listens to your videos nearly every morning as we both get ready for work. I'm just so excited for you and your children, and we will all enjoy watching and learning with each video you make in developing this new plot. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. May Blessings abound. 😊
❤️🥰 Thank you!
Watching this again for the second time. So happy for you. A dream come true ❤
How exciting. One of your previous videos back months ago you slipped and I thought something was going on bc you took a sign and said, “ uh, what I wouldn’t do if we only had this space too!!” I figured something was in the works. Blessings friend, so super happy for yall. Happy New Year and congratulations 🎊
This is so exciting! You two have come a long way and worked diligently to get where you are now! What a fun year of projects and videos to look forward to! Thank you for sharing your exciting news with us!
Wow. It just never ends! You guys have so much potential for new plantings and developments. It's almost overwhelming, but Laura must be in heaven.
Congrats! Will love to see how you transform the new property. Note: horses and trees sometimes aren't a good mix. Horses can chew on trees, so just think of that when placing where trees will be. Also some tree leaves are poisonous to horses. I know you will do your research. Love this for you and your family, so exciting.
Yes in Canada the red maple is lethal to a horse not even one leaf as my sisters has had several horses they do reining and help advising our grandsons the knowledge they had when the twins wanted horses as they have been reining for over 25 years ! So very aware of and had to send one horse to university of Guelph ontario vet school for large animals and saved one of the horses and found out out was the food supply as not regulated as well as human consumption! So much to be aware talk to local horses people they are so full knowledge like you Laura with your work you do ! But fun for a family to own and care for horses teaches young one responsibility! Happy new year to you and your family !
Remember when you lived in the other house… who’d a thunk you’d become land barons!!! Blessings. Oh those in and outs are called paddocks. Aaron you should plan on moving those lights to the barn area,because when you have livestock you have veterinarians in the middle of the night and lights make everything a whole lot easier.just saying since you are so great!at presumptive infrastructure. Sure makes life easier
You are lucky. There is 28 acres behind our house. But its a forest. Part of our current acre there are a lot of trees that are attached to it. If I had youtube money I would buy it and cut down the trees. Iv only bought close to 600 plants but still working on my garden. We have been only in our new house for 3 years and had to take close 20 trees down , due to dying or weakness. That is the expansive part which is making my dream of big garden to slow.
Congratulations to you two!! I know how exciting this is and seeing the perma-smile on your face, Laura, is such a warm feeling. You deserve it. Happy for you!
Being a fan since I was about 7 you guys have really taught me a lot about plants now I'm 16 and still watching this amazing garden evolve thank you for posting thorough the past 10 years. Hope you guys have a great new year with good health and keep up the good work!!!
How rewarding it must be to Laura and Aaron to know that their hard work and knowledge sharing is inspiring not just their own young children ultimately, but other young people, as well! God bless you as you continue in your learning journey!
@@socialp5949 God bless and have a safe n happy new year!!
My 6 year old has recently got into watching with me. It’s wonderful how inspiring Laura is for all ages. ❤
😅
How exciting that you’re finally able to share with all your viewers! I love the idea of continuing the maples up the lane and the possibility of new livestock on the land.
WOW,ALOT HAS HAPPEN IN YOUR LIVE'S, I STARTED WATCHING YOU BEFORE YOU GOT MARRIED,,,YOUR FIRST HOUSE,,I FEEL I'M PART OF YOUR FAMILY,,HAHA,,SMILES,,BEAUTIFUL FAMILES,,,,LOVE YOU GOING SHOPPING WITH YOUR MOM,HER LAUGHING I CATCH,,,LOL MAKES A HAPPY DAY FOR ME TO WATCH,,YOU ALL,,,NANCY FROM TENNESSEE, I STILL WEAR YOUR GARDEN SHIRT,,,,,HAVE A BLESSED DAY,,
Congrats on the new property!! So glad that the lights are going...LOL! It will be such a better vista for the pond.
How wonderful!! Congratulations to you and your children's children. This is a beautiful legacy.🎉
Very exciting times ahead for your family.
Congratulations on another successful acquisition…we can’t wait to see what all you accomplish in the New Year! May the LORD continue to bless you, and your sweet family! Your hard work, love for one another, and grateful hearts are a blessing to each one of us! Happy 2024!!🎆🎆🎆
I did not get the Memo but is this why we did not get a lights tour Christmas 2023? Excited for all the new things in your property expansion and anything else you may want to add 😉! Happy New Year! 2024
Call me sappy but this video made me cry happy tears for you guys. I have watched your progress since the beginning and you have all worked so hard and are still humble, may God continue to bless your lovely family. Oh my, you just showed the long fenceline.....Aaron is going to be sooo excited to buy new bigger trees, WHOOP WHOOP!!!
Well this is exciting to say the least!!! You have been such an incredible wealth of knowledge for me over the years if you need any help whatsoever for the future equestrian plans don’t hesitate to reach out! I can’t wait to see these spaces come to life 😍 big congratulations 🥂
Thank you, Matt! I will definitely be reaching out. It's not a matter of if, just when. 😆 I'm hoping we get the water/electrical figured out quickly so we can start looking for horses soon!
Damn that is an unexpected crossover!
If Laura and Aaron visit the Netherlands for the crossover you should definitely show them the Keukenhof gardens.
Wow! I watch both of your channels! Matt, I've been following your journey since just before moving with Chase from Australia. At your last house I loved the gardens, it was like getting two for one; horses and a beautiful garden. With Garden Answer, I get beautiful gardens, and soon will also get horses. Win, win!
When Laura showed us the gate in the fence who else thought that someone close (maybe Monica's) might be buying the house?? So much fun!
Congratulations Laura and Aaron! More space for the dream stream!!! I have a stream that runs through our 10 acres and we spend so much time at it. What a dream this is! So happy for you!
I did think there would be potential for them to purchase this property also. After reading your comment, I wonder if they will purchase this property so they can live in the house while they demo their current one? Hmmm, time will tell.
Yes that would be incredible!!!!!! Please Monica buy that house!!!!! Or Joe!!!
@@CAHM_1 Oh that makes even more sense! This way they are still onsite to work the gardens and their life really wouldn't be interrupted during the house remodel. I feel like being a soap opera fan and a Swifty I read in to every detail like its a clue dropped for us to pick up on. lol
All the not so subtle winks made me laugh every time. Congratulations! So many exciting days to follow. I can’t wait to see the animals you and the kids get to care for, and of course all the garden spaces too! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
A 20' barn addition will grow small very quickly once machinery is inside.
Best end of year video!!!!! Congratulations!! Can’t wait to see how you guys develop all of the new land ❤
You can just hear the excitement in their voices! I can't wait to watch what you guys do!
Hi Laura and Aaron. Congratulations! The space connected to your indoor stalls is called an outdoor paddock or outdoor stall! Happy New Year!
No grass grows under your feet Lol, always planning and dreaming! Congratulations!
I think this new north pasture is my favorite area of your property!
Congratulations! It’s so incredibly exciting to watch your dreams become reality! ❤
This is blowing my mind!!!!! Your boundaries have extended not only beyond your pond but behind the barn and greenhouse!!!!! Like a whole new world!!!!!!!
WOW!!! It is going to be so incredibly fun to watch this all develop!! Congratulations Laura and Aaron. What a joy to hear your excitement!!
They bought US more land🎉
YES 🙌 Praise the Lord 🙏🙏🙏
@@feliciahutchins4237 Yes!
Congratulations on your new land!!! So happy for you and your family, your opportunities are endless! The excitement of Laura… I don’t think there was a second she wasn’t smiling from ear to ear 😊❤. Love it!! So happy for you and all of your new adventures and beauty to will bring to your new property!❤️
I can’t wait to see the progress unfold!! Happy New Years!!!!🎉
Amazing!!!! Congratulations 🎉 I can’t wait to see this next chapter. Thanks for inviting all of us along ❤
Congratulations! You should build a playground for the kids. They would love it for years to come
This is AMAZING! So excited for you. As a parent and gardner…top tip
would be…to wait on removing the lights! Your kids are still so young….you may love those court lights in future!!!
Congratulations!!!! Watching your excitement and hearing Aaron's is so awesome. Can't wait to see how you guys transform it all. Happy New Year to your family.
Y'all got the basketball court!!!!! No wonder y'all weren't too concerned about the area behind the pond where you could see the court! 😂
Those tall lights are coming out first! 🤣
Aaron, Laura! What a wonderful way to ring the New Year 2024! With God blessings to you guys with the purchase of new property! I’m sure that you two will manage your blessings to something beautiful! I praise God for your new addition! It is a joy to see Laura’s joyful face! Thanks for sharing with all of us this wonderful time of happiness! 💥🎊🥂🍾🌺🎈💟🏡🌲
Laura, you guys need an outdoor kitchen and gazebo for entertainment
❤😊 Congratulations and Many Blessings too Ur New Beginnings!! Awesome and Amazing Excited For U All, Sweet and Smart!!! ❤😊 Ready to see what Ur Plans are and how U all Transform this All!! We were in Prayers New U were in Plans because that Basket Ball Hoop... lol Didn't Bother U Both!! How Awesome and Amazing Smart Move, again CONGRATULATIONS WHAT A NEW YEAR'S SUCCESS, OPPERTUNITY BEGINNINGS BEAUTIFULLY!! ❤😊
I am THRILLED for you both and can only imagine how hard it was to keep this under wraps! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us; the good, the bad, and the ugly. 😉 It is such a pleasure to know I can watch your channel not only for garden answers but to escape from what can be a divisive, sour environment at times. It’s very much appreciated. Wishing you and your family a very healthy and Happy New Year filled with much joy!
It was so hard! I didn't even allow myself to think about how the layout was going to be or what we'd put where until we officially signed. So now, we can really start getting things organized and ready to roll for spring! 😃
@@gardenanswer you go girl! Heh heh, bet you’ll be up nights thinking and planning with a big, wide smile on your face. So, SO happy you’re enjoying the whole process of making your dreams come true. 😉❤️👍
Plant more native plants between the trees! With irrigation you'll see how lovely everything is :D. You could be a stop on Monarch migration. Congratulations. So excited to see what you do with the new land.
They already have a native area by the ditch/ creek area. Plus the multitude of flowers the plant...
Congratulations! 2024 will be such fun watching your vision come to life! Happy New Year!
You guys, now I am totally exhausted. ..I'll have what you're having.
That’s only 12 acres?!?! Looks huge and amazing! I’ve been looking at some land near me. There’s a 20 acre property and this makes me think it could be transformed.
Congratulations!! You guys deserved all the success. You are such an inspiration for somebody like me who is just dreaming of flowers that I could grow 9 years ago. I started my dried flower business late this year and have been successful on my first gig. I will be starting my fresh cutflower business this coming spring. All of these successes that we are experiencing wouldn't be possible if I had not followed you since the beginning of my own journey. Just know that you are changing lives that you might not be aware of. Thank you for all the knowledge, Laura and Aaron. I am always excited whenever you guys do those big trees shopping. Now, I will look forward to the "Let's go and shop for some horses and cows" shopping videos!!!🥰🥰
This so so true in so many simple ways! I have also been watching since the very early days at the townhouse! I have even discovered art from someone who sent Laura and her mom a very small painting. Carolina Elizabeth art. I couldn’t afford her paintings but I have snagged some prints. I also discovered Grace Rose farms from an unboxing video (I-sure miss those) turns out she lives near me and started selling rose bushes! I am lucky enough to have 5 of them in my own garden. My love and enjoyment from so many things your videos have shown especially succulents, fairy gardens, drying flowers, wreaths seed starting the lists goes on! I am so happy for you and Aaron. I feel like you are our friends! Congratulations and thank you for all the joy your videos have brought me! Especially when I was having a hard time! 💜 3:27 3:27
Congratulations!🎉
So very excited for you!!! This is so wonderful!!! Thank you for taking us along the journey with you!!! You continuously provide so much inspiration and joy!!!
Blessings and Grace to you all!!
Kimberly
Laura & Aaron, how exciting! Looking back I do recognize the "hints" you two made about this property. If I were one of your neighbors I'd love what you've done for the neighborhood by adding so much natural beauty and trees, and one surprise after another. All I can say is I so look forward to watching you "develop" this new addition to the "homestead." What a legacy you are creating for your children! Thank you for taking us along on this journey! (A tennis court! Love it!)
Basketball heck, that's a tennis court!! Congratulations 😊
Congrats!!! The possibilities are endless for you. Well deserved!
WhooHoo Congratulations we are all so excited for you guys!!! Bwahaha I got a crick in my neck watching this…every time the camera angle changed I was craning my neck trying to see around you, 😂😂😂
Haha! We need to do a 360 tour for you! 😆
@@gardenanswer Yes please 😂
Yes!!! A 360 tour would be amazing!!! @@gardenanswer
Congratulations on the gaining that last piece of property, it'll really make a huge difference if you guys want large animals. It's gonna be so beautiful... you two always make everything more beautiful. Happy New Year.
I've been praying that you get that additional land to complete the lane back to your house. I am sooo happy for you. I was wondering if Aaron could give a detailed video on his thought process for deciding the infrastructure. I have a similar situation with raw land and am not sure where to begin. How do you decide where to put power outlets or where to trench. ect...
I think that's a great idea. I'm sure once we get our plan sketched out, he would be happy to sit down and explain all of the infrastructure related plans. 😄
Would be neat to build a large earth sheltered greenhouse on that hill.
Interesting idea!!
I am rewatching this Sept. 13, 2024 and it is amazing how much they have changed in this area! It just keeps getting better and better 😍
How exciting for your family! All the more reason to build a cottage for Paul!!! I can’t wait to watch the progress!!!
CONGRATULATIONS & Happy New Year ! 🍭🪅🎉 I was soo excited to see you standing in front of your new barn, a huge item on your bucket list ! 👏🏻👍 I know you would do this, but I’m passing on advice given to me . When your planting trees around your pasture, make sure you research the safety of them for animals ! I never knew red maples were poison to horses & it might be if the leaves are dead . 🤔🧐🤷♀️( I thought that meant red leaves, but no, the red veining in the leaves) If we ever had a sick horse, the 1st question would be the type of trees that they may have been in touch with ! Love & Hugs to you & your family ! 🙏❤️🙏 I know you get ugly letters , this is not intended to be one. I would be heart broken if you took it that way! Just a note before you start planning & planting. 😉
😮wow! Heard the hints but I was just trying to make my containers look like Laura’s! 😊😂 So incredibly proud of your success Laura and Aaron. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. So inspiring.😊😊
This is awesome news you guys! Congratulations 🎉 ❤️🇨🇦
So very happy for you guys!! And I'm glad to be along for the ride!
Wow! Congratulations! This is so exciting to be able to see what wonderful projects are ahead. And you bought a hill. When I saw the drop off, I wondered what will Laura do with that hill......So happy for you both. You can hear the excitement and joy in both your voices. Marvelous.
So happy for you! Yup I noticed the hints but thought you'd share when you're able. 😊 We just moved to a new home, 22acres , 8 acres water, 10 acres pasture and the rest my play yard ! Can't wait to dive in next spring. 😊❤😊
Oh wow! You are going to have SO MUCH fun! 😃
@@gardenanswer We also have horses, six at this time ,plus two little colts . We were married the same year you guys were and are approximately the same age as you guys . We also have two children, a boy and a girl, but we had them early in our marriage, so they are fifteen and sixteen . Most of the horses are our son's as he likes training them to ride and drive, for himself and other people . We moved to this property partially for his sake as we only had two acres where we were and this new property was set up to train race horses . It's a bit of a fixer upper but has a lot of potential! 🥰😄
Well, thank you for my late Christmas present. 😊😂 I kept going over where the land was, and then you showed the tennis court. My heart started racing, and I got so dang excited! I am so happy for you and Aaron!! Now I have more land to sit and enjoy the views. (In my head) You and Aaron have a barn like Jason and Brooke at Cog Hill Farm. Well, theirs is a little bit bigger than yours. You need a donkey, emu, cows, ducks, geese, dogs, pigs, and goats. You already have the chickens. Benjamin and Samantha are going to love having all the land to explore 😊❤.
Samantha needs a miniature donkey, Benjamin & Aaron can race battery powered motor cars on the basketball court. And Laura can use the basketball court as a dance floor for her Fall Harvest party.
Aaron and Laura… I think taking basketball court lights out may not be the best idea. Having teen boys that loved playing with friends in the summer evenings was such great fun for them. I think Benjamin and Samantha Grace will love it too. Anyway just a thought from a mom that had her kids totally enjoyed lighted hoop time. And of course stopping at a reasonable time for the sake of the neighbors is exactly right.
Congratulations! Two things: 1) Stripe the tennis court part for pickleball. You, your kids, your parents and your wider family will love it. 2) Please contact your local native plant organization about wildflowers. You could be so influential about the importance of natives!
You really brought it for the New year! Congratulations!!Your heads must be spinning with ideas and plans. More property areas to name 😂 I hope Aaron eases into basketball, lol. Don’t want any weekend warrior injuries.
Congrats, Aaron and Laura!
As far as pasture, you can never have enough! 😉
❤🐎❤
Congratulations….you’ve always wanted this! What’s really cool is that you are buying back and re attaching some of the original farm land. Here comes the horses!
You could get sheep as lawn mowers!
Our teens would die to have a lighted court! They play till midnight all summer with our porch lights. As long as the basketballs are bouncing the whole neighborhood is happy.
So exciting to see what you’ve been planning! Horses, cows! I love it! The videos will be even more fun. I can just envision all of you riding your horses across the pasture! Congratulations on this purchase! ❤
I didn’t think your property could get any more magical, but here we go again! So HAPPY for you to start the NEW YEAR this way! Thanks to you and your crew for the great entertainment and education you provide.
Hello fellow GA fans, Happy New year for you all. Whilst watching Laura thank us all I expanded a little and thought,, Through all of us we have contributed to helping the environment through Laura and Aaron. I sort of feel a little chuffed about that. Can we all imagine how the insect, bird world with be these new little homes they will have. Thank you so much for all of your dedication and love you put into your work....
Congratulations!!! smart move, you can never go wrong buying dirt.
WOWZER~. !!! I'm late to the party... with the holidays and the house full.... I'm way behind on RUclips videos! Congratulations! What an amazing property you already had... and to add all of this? ! Just wow! It'll be fantastic. Can't wait to see the animals you will add to your family! Fantastic start to 2024!!!!!
Congratulations! I would strongly encourage you to consider shade trees strategically placed for any live stock you might consider having in the future. Lack of shade in high heat would obviously be a problem. I’m guessing you’ve already thought about that. Good luck moving forward.
