We started planting trees in memory of family members who had passed. Then at the request of our children we started planting a tree of their choosing for them. Now, when they visit they often remark about how big their tree is. When our first grandchild arrives this coming year, he will learn about the family trees and the stories that go with them. It is better than a scrapbook.
We had 38 oak trees on our property. They were about 250 years old. I never grew tired of sitting under the mighty oak canopy and thinking about all they’ve seen. We also had the pleasure of watching a great horned owl raise her baby and watched her teach it to fly.
I just re-watched the video where Laura planted those oak leaf hydrangeas and it’s crazy how much everything has grown!!! The boxwoods were little babies and there was only a couple of things in that bed. I truly hope GA is still making videos in 10 yrs so we can all look back and see how far they’ve come! It’s a pleasure to be taken along for the ride! Have a great weekend everybody!!
I agree. The recent garden tour #1 was so beautiful, with lovely music, and tears in my eyes. Even Benjamin and Samantha Grace have grown a lot in spring and summer. I re-watched the pumpkin video from 11 months ago; both children have grown so much.
@kim7343 I can't guarantee it works, and I think if it rains or you water, it could probably dilute the cinnamon. I have found that cinnamon gets ants away from plants.
Plant them high……..I swear I could see Laura roll her eyes at the depth of the first hole for the juniper. I even got a bit nervous that it wasn’t deep enough. Good job Laura scooping out a bit more dirt before Aaron noticed.😂🤣❤️
My concern is width. Planting high is one thing, but those roots need to have enough space to spread themselves out, particularly in high wind areas where they need to be well-anchored.
The roots in areas that are High Desert go deep to reach water unlike in Southern areas where they spread out nearly at ground level. These trees planted High will be just fine ❤❤❤❤
Grew up on a farm and heard the phrase "the back 40" often. Now I live in a city and still say "I'm heading out to the back 40" when I am going to work in our tiny backyard garden.🤣
Aaron is NOT wrong!😄 My certified arborist told me to never put any soil on the top of the root ball, and anything you mulch with should contain only composted tree parts, and even that should never be placed up against the trunk. My horticulture classes taught me to plant with the top of the root ball level with the soil (including mulch), and only backfill up to the sides of the root ball, never on top of it. The trees sure do add a lot of beauty to that space!
Agree with you, but Aaron is planting way above level with the existing soil and then levelling up with the mulch. Won’t dry mulch sap the top few inches of the root ball. The native soil appears to be very dry so any irrigation malfunction may be disastrous…
@@saras9840this is what I have red too… he should mount (cover the roots in a pyramid shape with top soil, not mulch :s ). Then he can put the mulch. What i’ve red is that mulch/compost does not retain enough moisture for the upper roots which are important for the tree. Mulch and compost are not the same as top soil…. I do hope they do okay!
@@saras9840 It looks like he's planting them only a couple of inches above the existing soil level, which is good foresight if he expects the eventual surrounding soil level to be a little higher than it is. The only problem I see is covering the top of the root ball with soil -- the backfill should only be brought up next to the sides of the rootball, not on top of it.
Trees are being planted higher and higher!! Can see Laura starting to cringe at some. There's high then there's hiiiighhh Aaron 😂. So excited to see this new space come on. Absolutely gorgeous 🌲🌱🌳
That space is going to be so magical, with all that color and large trees. It's going to be fun to watch it all grow and fill in. Having Benjamin and Samantha Grace saying good night, what a treat!
Benjamin looked so cute running over with his umbrella. He can really run too! I can see him eventually being on the cross country running team😊. Cherish the childhood memories ❤
Anyone else waiting on the 'mulching the new property' video 😂😂 it's only a matter of time before Laura wants to see the dark mulch. The trees look beautiful and those Junipers 😍😍😍
My goodness Samantha looks like your mom! It’s crazy!!! I love when you plant trees! Having been a follower of yours for years and years, I love watching the progress. I just wish the trees would grow a little faster 😅
Benjamin is absorbing everything you & Aaron say. Kids are so inquisitive - I love how he’s able to run around the property & enjoys being outside using his imagination to entertain himself. And when he asked - Is this the acorn tree? I also have an acorn tree in the back of my (tiny in comparison @ just one acre) property. I will think of it as an acorn tree from now on. 🌳❤️
How fun to do those things with your spouse. You guys are so on the same page and complement each other so well. We sure love all you do and share with us.
Laura, I know the grasses in the urns on the west side aren't "supposed" to be hanging down like that, but what a beautiful trailing texture, swaying in the breeze ❤ The dirt lands are going to need a new name soon! I'm already calling the tree area "the woodlands" to myself. When Aaron suggested a big blue spruce behind the new redbud I gasped out loud. It will be magnificent 🤩
I do love these type videos, with the camaraderie of the whole family working together to complete a project. The chatter between you and Aaron as you work is better, than it being set to music. Then add in the children and it is tops. Working together to make your dreams come true. The trees are going to be majestic. Beautiful property, thank you for sharing with us.
Good Morning! 🌳 l love Oak Trees!!!! Like you, I love the acorns too! Oaks hold a special place in my family. When my Dad past away, my husband gave the eulogy at Dad's graveside service. We handed out acorns to everyone, then my husband started the eulogy, which was about how Dad was the strong Oak & the acorns represented his children. So when I see an Oak, I remember my Dad. I love the family atmosphere that you share & the conversations that Aaron & you have when working together! Thank you for sharing your family with us!😃🥰🌳🧡🍂💛🍁
Good night beautiful children. Can't wait to see how this area develops. I've watched most of your land change how beautiful it all looks. You have all worked so hard but totally worth it. Thanks for inviting us to your wonderful videos❤❤❤❤🎉
Goodnight.. oh how can you stand it!! Such sweetness!! Laura first and for most, the job you and Aaron are doing with your children is remarkable. Your raising confident, imaginative, strong children. They will be wonderful adults!! You should really be so proud! Thank you ❤
Great video today you got some really lovely trees and love the area you put them in look so good. And loved see Samantha Grace and Benjamin so so cute saying good night to us all.
Hello, I agree with cleaning out the dead shrub on the new property. It avoids and fire through accident or lightening. Love that you are planting up your property with trees, beautiful. In Canada we have soooo many varieties and they are truly gods gift.❤️🇨🇦
I'm trying to reach you but am unfamiliar with the app. My sister is going to try and help me tomorrow. Hopefully we can get it downloaded and figured out. Lol as you can tell I'm not tech savvy.
🌻Good morning everyone and Laura and Aaron. I so enjoy the ‘tree’ videos. So beautiful and so rewarding. Enjoy a wonderful weekend everyone…and P.S. Aaron you are the King!! LOL. 🧡🍁🍂🎃
You know what I love so much about watching Laura & Aaron plant these trees is knowing that when Laura talks about a tree getting 50+feet high you know that won’t be for at least 15-20 years (depending on the tree). So they’re not really planting for them to enjoy anytime soon. They’re planting for their golden years, their kids future, etc. Sometimes it feels like gardening is a really selfless way to spend your time on earth. All your hard work and love is going into a future you might not be around to enjoy but you know as a gardener that someone sometime in the future is going to love what you’ve created and think about the people who created it (even if they don’t know who they were). It gets me teary eyed.
I love oaks and acorns too! So do squirrels... They've been hanging around your property a lot more now. It's not bad, but just get used to pulling oak seedlings from your landscape from now on for the ones that the squirrels forget to dig up and eat 😊
Love all the trees on the newest property. It is going to be awesome as well. The west garden is beautiful and I love the structure as well as the color. The south garden is amazing and developing beautifully. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Have a blessed day everyone.
Love all the new trees - it's gonna look awesome 💚 It's so neat to see you and Aaron working together - they say - "A family that plays together, stays together " ❤️
Oh Laura we have heavy seasonal winds called Santa Anas, and we have Liquid Ambers ( sweet gums)all around us. They are so messy the spike balls fly and usually all end up in my front yard. I sure hope you don't regret putting it in. Unlike the acorns they are very light and fly just where I don't want them. I removed mine because of tripping hazard but my neighbors several houses away still have them and the city easement still have them and I get tons of the spike balls in my yard.
Laura & Aaron, your enthusiasm for your tree planting adventure was contagious. Amazing! This was a great video. You both are creating through planting new memories for yourselves and your family now and in the future.
You guys always find the perfect location for everything !! That oak will be a majestic beauty. Putting a blue spruce by the prett sweet gum and the vanilla redbud will be perfect !!
Laura. Because your sumac is spreading so much....why don't you dig some of the runners and plant them on the new property. A quick growing hedge of beauty.
You know your family’s life is really the epitome of how our country was for so many generations. You are all home, working the land. Both parents are able to be home with children and so they grow up working and playing with both parents. They learn a great work ethic and a love of the land. They learn charity as they see you gift the children’s hospital. Etc. You have other family nearby , your parents, siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews. You live in a smallish town where you run into people you know and even went to school with when you go to town. It is a great life. When you talk about moving to a different location sometimes, you don’t realize what it is like to not know anyone. You never walk into a store and run into an old friend or come home to find a sister or brother already at your house to greet you I’m glad you seem to have decided this is the right place to be.
I have to pull up small ones all the time growing in flower beds and it's constant thru out the spring and summer. One was hidden on the center of a shrub,it had gotten about a foot tall when I noticed the different leaf shape and knew exactly what it was. It had rooted in pretty good and was hard to get out. Most times I catch them small,and the acorn is still attached. But at least they're far from the house here and won't be a mess. Love the shade,but keeps me busy picking up limbs and leaves.
Beautiful big trees!!! The new place is shaping up!! Benjamin is just too cute- not wanting to sit because it was messy 😂 too cute. God bless your beautiful kids..they are such a joy to see playing and enjoying their amazing childhood ❤️ ♥️
Laura I’d love a video on a typical day. How you do it all kind of day. A real day in the life. Getting up, breakfast, chores, garden, cleaning, kids, dinner ya da ya da tv at night? Bedtime? Getting up time? How do you preserve all the foods on those huge harvest days? Peppers, beans,
What a wonderful video. Benjamin is so adorable. He can run fast with his regular shoes on instead of his sandals. I thought it was so sweet that he didn't want to step on the soil in the gator. I also enjoy it so much when you and Aaron work together. It's so much fun to watch.
Beautiful backdrop shots, the flower garden, trees, and white fence, are so pretty! Had to chuckle at the difference between Oregon locations. S. Ore. has soo many oaks. I have to constantly rake leaves...not my favorite. Do love the dogwood and redbud, their beauty especially in the Spring are breath taking! Can't wait to see this planting then. And the dark mulch makes it pop! And also makes it look like it has been there for some time!
I love your channel I need one of those for my garden. I started this year I have to drag two 100 foot hoses and am afraid of tripping. Thank you for sharing all your tips and knowledge love your gardens.❤
I watched the whole video, smiling at Laura and Aaron’s enthusiasm over the “new” property and their plans for it but those two precious children at the end tugged at my heartstrings so hard, I got misty-eyed. ❤️
Oops comment for a completely different video lol Love seeing you guys working your property everything looks stunning! Everything looks happy happy can’t wait to see the acorn tree grow ❤
Oh my, your properties are looking beautiful. I love when you ride from one point to the other and we get peeks of areas we haven't seen in a while. It is looking amazing. I can't believe it has come so far. I have been here since the beginning of your channel, and I used to laugh when you would move something around in the flower beds. I would say "Come on Laura, put it in, don't take it out." You know what you are doing, all at once, it all comes together. I love going back in the old videos and seeing how much it has changed. Also, the children, are growing up so fast. Have you been putting fertilizer on them?😂😂💛👏
The kids are just too cute. It’s fun watching them grow and explore. Laura, you just inspire me. I have a different shape yard. I have an extra yard by the river that gos by our house. We’re on the high side, so it never floods. If I had my way, I’d add some of those nice shrubs you are planting with flower beds, less mowing. I can’t seem to convince my husband though. I am working on a slope by that area. Hurt my knee early this spring so didn’t get it planted. I’ll be cleaning it off now to get it planted next spring. Well, have a great day.
Wow!!!! I am so excited for you and Aaron with this new property. How exciting to do fall projects with the kids where you can take those beautiful leaves and press them in books to make artwork . I would love to have all those different trees where I live, but that's not possible. You guys are so wonderful. Thank you for doing what you're doing.
❤Benjamin, some day I hope you’ll picnic below the majestic oak with your grandchildren and recall the memory of planting the tree with your parents.
I love that sentiment. 🎃🍁🍂💚🙃
What a sweet thought!!
That is an awesome plan.
Oh my….Penny, your comment brought happy tears to my eyes. What a beautiful thought. 😍

Texas... I grew up with Oak Trees and have so many memories! ❤
Wow you must have a massive property! How wonderful it must be in fall.
out of pure curiosity how big is your property because damn 38 oaks about 250 years old !!??
Living in the Midwest, Oaks, Maples and Pine Trees all represent fond memories

Yay you got an oak with acorns!!🍂🍁🐿️ the squirrels will love you 😊
I keep thinking about all the tulips she plants, and now she is attracting squirrels.
@@ytubechannel997 Yup. I can't grow tulips for that very reason! Hopefully the acorns will keep them happy and they won't stray...lol
@@kim7343have you tried cinnamon sprinkled around? I know mice don't like it.
@@triciac1019 No, I have not. Thanks for the tip!

Can we just pause and replay the "Goodnight" from the kids!?! I'm dying from the cuteness of them!! 🥰
You should toss a bunch of wildflower seeds around in the back 40! It would be so beautiful and natural next season.
What a great idea!!!!!! Yes!!!!!! 😀👍
Only Laura looks at a cloudy sky and declares “it’s a beautiful day!”!
It's all about perception.
Wow all those new trees are really shaping up the new property. Love the Oak beautiful giant tree.
Grew up on a farm and heard the phrase "the back 40" often. Now I live in a city and still say "I'm heading out to the back 40" when I am going to work in our tiny backyard garden.🤣

Aaron's planting a little forest and I love it!
I so love that Benjamin didn't want to get his shoes dirty. Such a precious boy. You guys have such a lovely family.
I remember when Aaron didn’t really care for or about gardening. Now he is hooked!! I love it!!
running with his umbrella.. just love it. everything you do is exciting.. I live through you and your gardens.
Laura, I know the grasses in the urns on the west side aren't "supposed" to be hanging down like that, but what a beautiful trailing texture, swaying in the breeze ❤
The dirt lands are going to need a new name soon! I'm already calling the tree area "the woodlands" to myself. When Aaron suggested a big blue spruce behind the new redbud I gasped out loud. It will be magnificent 🤩

Good night beautiful children. Can't wait to see how this area develops. I've watched most of your land change how beautiful it all looks. You have all worked so hard but totally worth it.
Thanks for inviting us to your wonderful videos❤❤❤❤🎉
Lol. Benjamin running with that umbrella, instantly made me think of Christopher Robin in Winnie The Pooh. Too cute!
Goodnight.. oh how can you stand it!! Such sweetness!! Laura first and for most, the job you and Aaron are doing with your children is remarkable. Your raising confident, imaginative, strong children. They will be wonderful adults!! You should really be so proud! Thank you ❤
Great video today you got some really lovely trees and love the area you put them in look so good. And loved see Samantha Grace and Benjamin so so cute saying good night to us all.
LOL kids are so precious.. "I dont want step in the mud/dirt on the gator but I'll go romp in the dirt and plant a tree!" great memories for sure
The dust that flies when using the auger.😮 I'm realizing my soil is more awesome than I thought.

Goodnight Benjamin and Samantha. 🙏 💙 😀 Hope I'm here long enough to see that oak tree grow enough to truly look majestic and strong.

Good evening everyone!
Such a lot of work done! Always inspiring! The trees will be beautiful! Best of all, the sweet goodnight from the kids!
I definitely now appreciate how powdery your soil is now after this video. It was really flying with the auger!
There used to be dust devils in the South Garden! Quite the spectacle!
In that last shot when your daughter said goodnight, she looked so much like Laura's mom! So precious - you & your whole family, really. Lol
I hope yall clear out the woods behind were the Doctor planed all the trees. I hope so!😊❤
So glad Aaron got the oak. Love those acorns! We wouldn't know how to behave without acorns every year.
I have to pull up small ones all the time growing in flower beds and it's constant thru out the spring and summer. One was hidden on the center of a shrub,it had gotten about a foot tall when I noticed the different leaf shape and knew exactly what it was. It had rooted in pretty good and was hard to get out. Most times I catch them small,and the acorn is still attached. But at least they're far from the house here and won't be a mess. Love the shade,but keeps me busy picking up limbs and leaves.
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️
The acorn on the oak is awesome! It's all coming together so beautifully! The flox is so pretty.
Goodnight sweet babies!!! The absolute best way to end the evening. Thank you for sharing your sweet family with us!!!!!😊😊
What a beautiful place you’ve created for your children to grow and thrive in.
Planting trees is always excellent way to start your developing the newest property.
Looking forward to seeing a large blue spruce go in. 👍👍
Me too.
I love watching you and Aaron working together on projects. Reminds me of my sweetie and I working on our gardens and property together.
Those kids sure have a beautiful place to grow up!!
Beautiful big trees!!! The new place is shaping up!! Benjamin is just too cute- not wanting to sit because it was messy 😂 too cute. God bless your beautiful kids..they are such a joy to see playing and enjoying their amazing childhood ❤️ ♥️
You are planting your own forest! Someday the kids can go for a walk in the woods!
Laura I’d love a video on a typical day. How you do it all kind of day. A real day in the life. Getting up, breakfast, chores, garden, cleaning, kids, dinner ya da ya da tv at night? Bedtime? Getting up time? How do you preserve all the foods on those huge harvest days? Peppers, beans,

I love your channel I need one of those for my garden. I started this year I have to drag two 100 foot hoses and am afraid of tripping. Thank you for sharing all your tips and knowledge love your gardens.❤
I watched the whole video, smiling at Laura and Aaron’s enthusiasm over the “new” property and their plans for it but those two precious children at the end tugged at my heartstrings so hard, I got misty-eyed. ❤️
All of those trees are going to look amazing, and all of the flowering plants look so pretty 😊❤
Happy anniversary!!!!
Looking forward to more you and Janey videos😀
Watching from Fort Worth Texas
Oops comment for a completely different video lol
Love seeing you guys working your property everything looks stunning!
Everything looks happy happy can’t wait to see the acorn tree grow ❤
The umbrella running is the best part
15:23 I love watching you guys work together 😊 I am in love with the Heritage Oak can't wait to see it next Spring
Tree planting days are the best days!
Just amazing trees and I am in love with the Phlox...absolutely gorgeous
I can't wait to watch the Heritage Oak as it grows.
I'm on team Laura regarding the planting depth issue.😉
Oh my, your properties are looking beautiful. I love when you ride from one point to the other and we get peeks of areas we haven't seen in a while. It is looking amazing. I can't believe it has come so far. I have been here since the beginning of your channel, and I used to laugh when you would move something around in the flower beds. I would say "Come on Laura, put it in, don't take it out." You know what you are doing, all at once, it all comes together. I love going back in the old videos and seeing how much it has changed. Also, the children, are growing up so fast. Have you been putting fertilizer on them?😂😂💛👏
Beautiful video🌹🌹
Has Aaron thought about getting an auger for his tractor? Makes planting trees a lot easier. ❤
I love to see this side of you guys. So fun and lovin the new property
The kids are just too cute. It’s fun watching them grow and explore. Laura, you just inspire me. I have a different shape yard. I have an extra yard by the river that gos by our house. We’re on the high side, so it never floods. If I had my way, I’d add some of those nice shrubs you are planting with flower beds, less mowing. I can’t seem to convince my husband though. I am working on a slope by that area. Hurt my knee early this spring so didn’t get it planted. I’ll be cleaning it off now to get it planted next spring. Well, have a great day.
I hope you do drifts of annuals again next year. They added such a wonderful pop of color in the garden. I love the amethyst verbena.
The trees are beautiful as well as the phlox. Your kids are adorable!
The hedge of sparkling amethyst absolutely gorgeous ❤
Beautiful! Aaron is planting the trees on the new property He is really enjoying the trees! Laura can plant the rest 😊
Wow!!!! I am so excited for you and Aaron with this new property. How exciting to do fall projects with the kids where you can take those beautiful leaves and press them in books to make artwork . I would love to have all those different trees where I live, but that's not possible. You guys are so wonderful. Thank you for doing what you're doing.
Good morning all and have a nice weekend! Love the oak and all the trees you’ve planted! We’re to start getting in the mid 50’s on Saturday
Love this!! So many beautiful trees 🌳 I can wait to see that oak grow❤
Since your power lines are underground do you ever wonder about tree roots? Thanks for all your wonderful videos.
