This was an amazing video to watch seeing the trenches, Benjamin playing and helping, you digging up the two trees and replanting them, the daffodils, the mulch and listening to your ideas. Aaron is so right the way he's planning the infrastructure. It's so much better to have it done in the planning stages instead of doing it later, and much less work. I hope you were able to go back and mark where everything is. Thank you so much for sharing! Can't wait to see things come together.

    You definitely got your stretches and exercises in with that Redbud. Maybe add a little mulch around it to help hold moisture. That way you could see it better and less chance of somebody running over it out there all by itself!!!
    Such a fun memory to have of playing in the trenches! That looked like a lot of fun.
    Benjamin is such a great little helper. He’s always helping Momma with whatever she’s doing. I think that is wonderful and he’s learning so much.

    Looking lovely this morning, as always! I love your long hair and am so glad you don’t tie it back into a pony tail.
    My question: Do you partner with Unique Stone. I need a new wall fountain and, due entirely to Garden Answer, I immediately went to the Unique Stone website. Turns out I have a local dealer (woohoo!). I’d love to be able to give you guys credit for the purchase, if there’s a way to do that.
    Thanks for making my life beautiful through the gift of gardening🌸💗🌸

Not to mention your relationship with your husband, you’re such a fabulous “team.” Your love and devotion to God has to be the key! God bless you all, Joanne 😊❤️🙏

    I moved one last year so I sure know what you went through and it was one that just sprouted on the other side of our fence so I had to keep going back and forth within the yard to get to it and finally after cutting some of the roots too I got it and it’s displayed in the center of our yard in a new flower bed as it’s one tree I had always wanted and I figured it grew there just for me so although it was free, I surely worked for it and I’m 63! Kudos to all your hard work and honestly it’s you that has motivated me to do all that I do in our yard since I first started watching you!! Just love everything you and Aaron do!💐💗💐

    That poor Cercis...that was some brutal digging out. Fingers crossed your careful nurturing will see it through. But always worth making a planting hole in the new location before digging something large out. Can't afford to let the roots dry out.
    Also hope you can get some stakes to demarcate where the power and storm sewer are. That transition into the new land looks very promising. Nice to end the geometric formality of the ex moon garden with a swoop of brick.

Now you just need to remember where all the utility lines are. 😊

    Oh. my .lanta!
    I SO remember how contankerously difficult digging up redbud trees can be. ( I'm pushing 60 now) those days of struggle were back in my youth.😂 I'm watching this video while resting from a simple transplanting of some pots into the ground!!😂
    Old age and arthritis creeps up and hits you in the joints eventually. Ugh. Creatively...I understand how you come to your design process. It makes perfect sense. I honestly didn't get lost through your walk today at all. I'm seeing such amazing vision. Yes! Aaron's foresight with infrastructure...WHAT a blessing!!! (And loads of fun for Benjamin)

I’m sure you grew up driving them though. So no biggie for you now. The tree placement looks great and the path idea sounds wonderful and cohesive to the rest of the plan.

    I love that you drive the tractor. I grew up with my mom and myself doing all the landscaping and the front end loaders are so handy! Mom now has a skid steer which is so much safer and can get in tight spaces. I need one as our tractor is so light that it is tippy when the bucket is full. They dont make them like they used to! Also if you got a skid steer your paths wouldn't have to be so wide.
    Love watching it all come together!
    Everything looks great!
