Rewatching these videos to get me though the winter and I lol’d when Laura said “this is the year of chaos”. She had no idea what 2020 had in store for her!
Omg I’m rewatching this 10/23/22 ......what a difference and an amazing amount of work you have done 😀❤️
I’m rewatching in 2024 April. Love watching these video. This garden is now a pond. Wow
Dexter is so so missed. His adorable personality and sweet demeanor added so much to your videos. Poor little guy 😥
RIP Dexter ❤❤❤
I vote for animals. There are so many in need of a loving family and a safe home. God bless you, my condolences for Dexter.
So funny to see this four year old video and know what the gardens look like today 2022 💚💚💚💚
With kids in your future, you may want to consider leaving that back garden for soccer, football, etc. Even though you don't use it much now it's a great area for kids to play their sports or have space to run. I'm sure whatever you both decide it will be fantastic! God bless all of ya'll!!
Keep it the way it is and move the formal urns! Baby boy will love playing in the grass 💙and you have enough projects to complete! I think Dexter would want you to get a kitty who will appreciate your beautiful gardens!
Absolutely lovely. I am a mad gardener and with both my children I put them in their pram covered by muslin and took them in the garden with me whilst I gardened. Now my boys are all grown up and one loves to grow stuff and is teaching his kids and the other is a mad gardener like his mother.
Hi Laura, I have to vote for the animal Pasteur. As much as babies need a playground, they also learn so much about kindness, compassion, responsibility and sacrifice from having animals to care for. It is immeasurable how much joy and laughter they bring to us each day. They fill your soul with unending grace. And ... if I may be so bold. .. I think it would be so sweet to name the pasteur in memory of Dexter. "Dexter's Ranch" ... I miss him sooo much. I can't stop looking for him. Big huugggsss to you and Aaron ♡♡♡
I could watch this all day. Thank you so much for inspiring me to get out there... I'm so sorry about dexter. But I want to thank you for mentioning him. I feel like I'm grieving for you both. All the best Laura! ❤️
The number of improvements you have made over time to that property are incredible
Wow - the drone view is fantastic. I found myself identifying everything saying - “look, the veggie garden” or “there are the urns we just saw”, etc.... Your place is absolutely gorgeous Laura and Aaron!! I love ❤️ the journey you take us on with each section. Thank you 🌸🌼🍂🍁
Beautiful view! Love your garden tours, you are so inspiring, I have learned a lot. So sorry about Dexter, miss seeing him in the videos. Animals are always a nice addition, great for kids to grow up with.
I have to give kudos to Aaron for the lush lawns you guys have. It's about time he gets complimented on his contribution to your lovely yard. Laura, you always do an amazing job with the flowers but I do appreciate a thick lush lawn.
Suggestion for your backyard... as you are about to have a baby that will need some place to play. How about a play yard? Swing set, etc? Eventually you'll need a place to kick or throw a ball around.
I third. Something fun and whimsical that he can touch and play with. If you get another kitty you can show case animal safe plants. Build a tree house and have vines running up it.
Yes, exactly what I was thinking :)
Camille I was just about to write that! Playground would be fun and perfect.
I was thinking that too. Young boys are not great respecters of things like flower beds.
That is a very good point it can be a play area with plantings incorporated like Alan Tishchmarsh does on love your garden.
I agree with some of the other comments. As an aunt of two active boys, you need a play space with some shade trees back there in the Back 40 with some seating where you guys can hang out, and he can run and play without the risk of damaging anything that's too precious. Put in a swing set and a sand box and that can be "baby space" on one side with the other side still able to be a test garden!
Beautiful! I kept on waiting to see Dexter and shed a few tears 😢 once in a life time cat.
Faith Less do you know what happened to Dexter?
@@rol9344 I know it's late and maybe you already know. But...
He was attacked by some animal during one of his night strolls and they found him on the property the next morning. Laura did a video in memory of him.
He led his life freely and happily. And he was so loved .
I love the garden tours!! The drone the Drone footage really shows how spectacular your garden and house really is!!! I love love it!!! You have really help and inspire me to be so much more creative in my garden!!! Thank you so much! Again I so sad to hear about Dexter! I really do miss seeing him in your videos... Thank you again for all of your video's I look forward to them!
someone once said to me about all the dropped leaves "you see mess,I see mulch" LOL
If farm animals escape they eat all the plants! My parents can't plant anything with out the goats or the neighbors pigs eating them. I think it's so beautiful the way the garden looks so green and fresh! Love it as is.
idea: Put your urns in the your vegetable garden and either make your pasture or a playground for your new little one......they need to play football somewhere! And you don't need another destination garden. You have several already.
The drone scene is PERFECT, I can really see the entire place and it is LOVELY!! I miss seeing Dexter too! I think YOUR idea of animals is a very good idea! ITs' always good to have animals when you have children, it teaches them so much. But maybe the chickens could wait until the kids are old enough to help. Thank you !!
so lovely to good back and look at how far you have come in your garden journey. Such an inspiration, thank you.
The aerial view at the end was phenomenal. What a gorgeous yard landscape. I can see why you choose this place to be your forever home. Also, I'm a big fan of animals too! Maybe start with a chicken coop? Let Aaron get used to the idea haha
You could use that area as a game area, croquet, Boche ball, etc.
Family picnics.
Blankets on the lawn.
Like a Rembrandt painting...
Kids play area.
A lovely place for benches and downtime relaxation.
the addition to your family well keep you so much more busy than getting your garden settled. Can't wait to watch!!
You have an amazing place. Loved the view from the drone.
Yes, I agree with many on here..Just leave the yard where the Urns are alone......Just move the urns to another garden....It would be a GREAT place for that little boy that is on his way when he gets a little bigger.....He then would have his own area to play and have fun, planting his little flower in his mini garden, tree house and playing ball with Aaron..And maybe you could get him a little chicken coop with a few little chickens....You have so many garden's around your Beautiful home....Let your future children enjoy this spot !!!! I think it would be PERFECT !!!!
BEAUTIFUL drone video Aaron !!!! ♥♡♥
The unsure/unused space - you will want a pool for the kids and as they get older it will be a place for them to be save with their friends. If you put a horse back there you'll have to then take out all the plantings and have nothing but soil and build an enclosure for the horse AND you'll have to walk back there to feed and engage the horse each and every day.
You should make a garden in memory of Dexter where you plant flowers that are playful and basically match with his personality I think that would be so cute
Love watching those old videos. Improvements are amazing ❤
Watching this years after is so interesting because I know what’s going to come. I’m such an impatient gardener and want that complete look ASAP but my budget doesn’t match lol. Seeing your plans evolve inspires me to be calm.
My husband, while listening to your ideas of animals over planting, "She's just your spirit animal, isn't she?"
I vote chickens and horses 🐔🐥🐴
Greetings from Berlin! Loved your tour this month. I don't have a garden or even a balcony but I love plants and outdoors. So like to follow your progress. You are positive people so you will get over these difficulties and sadness together.
So much I'm trying to remember... The cabbages planted like that look like HUGE Sempervivums! 😊 I love the idea of farm animals. And the trial area. Could they be combined somehow? Children learn so much by helping care for animals. You learn by doing... (former 4-Her....) Your formal area with the purple say and sprinter boxwood is beautiful and inspirational. I never bothered to learn much about evergreens until watching your videos over the past year. This morning I attended a one hour seminar at my favorite local nursery on DIY Landscaping...with my 2yo son in tow... Don't let anyone try to limit you. You know what you're capable of. I wouldn't have stepped outside my gardening comfort zone if not for your videos.
Yay! Always waiting for the monthly tours!!!!
You have done so much this year. Next year with the baby having some plants you liked this year and replanting them will be a big help. Love the garden beds. I am so jealous. I do hope you get a new kitty. I miss seeing Dexter too. All the best to you and your family!
Love the tour and we miss Dexter too.♡ I was thinking about the formal garden area, how about converting it to a kid play area? You could have a nice play set, sand pit, obstacle course, play house, toss in a chicken coup, a water feature for your son to run around in, etc...like you said, it's tucked away from the rest of the landscape so you wouldn't be taking away from the the the rest of your garden. Plus, you would have a ton of plants you could add in there as well, maybe add a nice covered sitting area for you guys as well!
Loved the view from Aaron's drone! That gave me so much more perspective...I almost felt like I could see you walking around giving us the wonderful September tour. I'm for the pasture and animals LOL I always learn SO much from your videos. Laura, you are looking wonderful! Oh...the cabbages with the pansies are awesome!
Rebecca Wood Bixler what she said x100!
Why settle for either/or? Utilize 1/3 of the space for a trial/testing area for plantings and such. Because that really is a grand idea. Another 1/3 for chickens, maybe some ducks and other small farm animals. Because fresh eggs really are the best, also children learn alot from caring for animals. And, of course, the remaining 1/3 as a play area. An area that will change and grow with the children. Swing set now, baseball diamond later. Or, go cart track, basketball court, tennis court, where ever the interests may go.
My favorite part of this video was the excellent panoramic video taken from above. It puts everything into perspective and showcases the balance and beauty of your home. I will be revisiting this one many times I'm sure. Thanks for sharing!
Ooooooohhhhhhhh.....I am so envious! That aerial view is superb. I love that your house is so close to your entrance of your driveway but there is a long drive way to drive around and see all your hard work! I love everything! I find myself being able to identify plants, scrubs and trees when I’m out and about.
Farm animals would be fun, for both you and your little boy growing up! If I didn't have animals growing up I don't think i would be who I am today. Love you guys!
The alyssum, ornamental cabbage, self watering containers, veg garden raised beds, row of arbs, potato vine, boxwoods, bee's and king tut grasses all amazing. I miss Dexter so much too. Your future plans are wonderful. I can't wait to see it all come true.
Watching these videos in April 2022 makes me admire your property even more today!! I would have put window boxes behind the King Tuts and planted something really dark that spilled over which would have BEAUTIFULLY highlighted the King Tuts.
Oh, Laura, I love this so much! Everything is so tight and tidy and just makes my eyes feel great!! And then Aaron put the cherry on top with his masterful drone/camera work!! :)
Wow that view! Beautiful! You guys are extremely lucky and deserve it all. Blessings 🤗

Laura, I hear your pain and feel it. We just bought our house and had all the water, gas and electrical redone. It's no small job. Cheers on your progress.
Great aerial shots Aaron
Looking back you've done a lot of work in 2 years!!
"I have 300 tulips for this area, its gonna be awesome." Like a boss! my favorite part, I love it girl : )
you could always make the back garden with the urns in, into a adventure playground for Aaron JR???? Just a thought. Kids love running around in soft grass and playing in playgrounds it is already fenced off and you would have more reason to go there. Also getting Chickens is a GREAT idea . I have 11chickens and they are in there own garden off of mine, good to teach children to have responsibility for other things. ....Sorry long comment xx Love the videos you guys do.
You have probably been busy getting to know your precious new bundle of joy and also been a little protective of all of the outdoor elements (e.g., sun, bees, weather, wind, wildlife, etc.). After the first year, you'll be eager to get your baby and family outside for a change of scenery. Your property is so beautiful. You may want to select some areas close to your house to put out bulbs that will spring up later on their own. If you plan in out, you can have lovely flowers blooming over several months without doing a thing or maybe just a little watering. Crocus, Daffodils, Jonquils, Hyacinth, Snowdrops, Tiger Lilies, and Gladiolas, all will do well in Zone 5 with a little attention to the planting depths. It's amazing how beautiful it is to see flowers blooming in a snow covered landscape. Best wishes with the new edition to your family!!
A couple comments. One, we miss Dexter a ton! The mention you had of him honestly brought tears to my eyes. And two! The property is absolutely beautiful. The drone footage at the end should be your outro to all your videos! And do a new outro each month so we can watch the leaves change colors from winter into spring, spring into summer, summer into fall, fall into winter. One a month would be great!
I think the idea of animals sounds like a good thing. That whole area is large enough to be devoted to the baby. Your child could have his own area for gardening, animals and play. Make it his own mini farm and garden. I had foster children that I did that with and I didn't have half the place you do. It keeps them physically and mentally active.
I agree with others, that spot would be a great play area for y'alls son. The grass is gorgeous and lush.
Loved the tour. God Bless you both for being such hard workers and making your place so beautiful and making it your own. I miss Dexter too. I keep waiting for him to pop in the video. The baby will be here before you know it and that will be a happy time for you both. I can't wait to see him. And you look so cute as an expecting mom.
Yes a play area. It is perfect for that!
Keeping farm animals is the most amazing experience ever! Especially chickens, but that garden is so beautiful!!
I am extremely envious of your entire property!! From one vegetable gardener to another I would highly recommend putting a table and a couple chairs in the empty space in the center of your vegetable garden. I did not design my raised bed layout with an empty space, something I highly regret and will hopefully be changing next year, just so that I can incorporate in a highly useful table. Congrats on your baby, and my sympathies for your loss. Thanks for your shows I love them
In reference to you indicating you want to pull the pink out; I think the pink in front of your porch (the planters on tbe the drip) the pinks do match everything else, especially with the cabbage. In nature everything matches. Love, love, love the mass planting of the cabbage.
The aerial view gives a lot of perspective.
BEAUTIFUL!!
LOOOVE the drone shot at the end! You guys should turn the back garden into a kiddo fun land! Swing set, sand box, playhouse, a big section of grass to run/play baseball/pitch a tent!
Thanks L and A for all your hard work. I truly enjoy hearing your plans!
I agree about the green space, leave it on the border, its behind the garage? Perfect play spot for soccer, lacrosse, etc, or other activities where you don't want to hit the house or lose balls in the garden. That time goes so fast. Have you ever thought of hosting a few weddings?
Long-time fan, first time commenter- you're such an inspiration! Thank you so much for your videos and ideas! My husband and I just moved to Oregon and purchased our first home, and I have FINALLY been able to start putting together the kind of garden I have wanted since I first started watching these videos. I was so sad to hear about Dexter- that's such a hard thing to go through. If it's any consolation at all, we have you to thank in a way for our own new puppy. We wanted a rescue dog and I was scanning ads for collie mixes, and saw a scrawny looking pup in Ontario. I admit I probably wouldn't have given her a second glance if I hadn't recognized the city name. We drove all the way out from Portland, had coffee at Jolts & Juice and saw your lovely flower pots on the main street there! :) But when we got to the shelter, we immediately and unexpectedly fell in love with this puppy. She's thriving now with us and it's already hard to imagine what life was like before her! Thank you for that. :) Much love from one growing family to yours!
Thank you for another inspirational tour. I'm in awe with your and Aaron's progress since you moved in. An orchard for kids (and kitties and puppies) to explore growing up would be a great idea in the less used part of your property.
Your garden is a dream! You might consider keeping a bit of that soft lawn and also create an area around it with a smooth surface (racetrack loop) for your future kiddo to use push/pull toys, ride a tricycle. Also if you set up a sandbox, art easels, and a kiddie pool under a shaded veranda or pergola. You would always have somewhere outside to play that is stable underfoot for little legs and not subject to the heat of summer and storms in winter when cabin fever kicks in.
What a beautiful property you have. I agree with one of the other comments about a play area for the baby. The swing set ,playhouse, soccer area that would be away from plants you want to keep alive. 😀
I definitely second the comment on creating a play yard for your child! That would be great and as the years go by, you can transition that play yard to a pasture.
I LOVE your monthly tours because it helps me plan too. Please continue these monthly tours!!!!
Loved the drone footage. Thanks Aaron for all the work you do behind the scenes. Bump watch continues lol
BEAUTIFUL!!! You both are such a blessing and a inspiration. After living in my home for 16 years I now have my flower garden with my swing seat. I also have bird feeders. I love my mornings ❤️.
you can tell if it's an angel face by smell. no other 'lavender' color rose has that spicy/peppery smell like the angel face. it is my favorite because the color is awesome and the smell is wonderful and very strong.
O.m.gosh I am gobsmacked at the beauty of your yard ... the view from above is amazing 💜 I'II have to keep watching your videos to find out what happened to Dexter 😢 thank you Laura and Erin for another great video 👍🏼🕊
HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOU.AND ALL WORK YOU DO TO YOUR PROPERTY. WAS WONDERING HOW MUCH PROPERTY IS YOUR HOME ON,,,,,IT JUST LOOKS SO HUGH & BEAUTIFUL….THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD TIPS THAT YOU SHARE...
Laura, I love your personality and passion toward what you are doing! Always, I can't wait until your next video. Miss Dexter so much ...🙏
make that back area you spoke of not using into a whimsical playground area for the new little one to grow into! somewhere to run. climb, jump and pretend! i'd love to see how you incorporated that type of more common "backyard feature" into your elegant estate! i'm sure lots of people would! again- thanks for the tour! inspiring! as always!
Your home is beautiful. I love all your videos. And my pasion for gardening has grown. I just wish i can find all those beautiful plants you use. Blessing to you and your family
Crazy Idea: turn the unused formal garden into a small orchard. With your bees you should have a small bounty of produce in just a couple of years :D
I second this idea. As a kid, I loved picking fruits from my family's orchard. I could find something ripe every month from June through October.
That's what I was thinking too but I think her parents have an orchard so she probably wouldn't need much more fruit
Gorgeous gardens. I have so many dreams for my gardens, but I know my limits enough to know I'd better satisfy most of them by watching what you do, ha, because that must be a lot of work. So neat to see the view by drone.
The drone shot was amazing, your property and house is just stunning. Absolutely loved the cabbage and pansies, what a show stopper! Loved little Dexter and miss all his little cameos terribly ❤️😿😿❤️
I vote for the animals.Chickens and fresh eggs, you can't go wrong.Children love being around them and
a nice play area.(and a cat, sure miss Dexter)
Contrary to a ton of the comments, I don't think you should turn your formal garden into a play area! Your son is going to love exploring the gardens. I know people mean well when they suggest these things, but I'd hate feeling like I had dozens of chittering aunts and mother-in-laws telling me what I should do lol. You've got a great vision for your space, Laura. Do what YOU want to.
What a spectacular view of the house and garden!!!!
I am always just amazed at your property and I've seen it so many times! Just awesome and perfect for a Gardner/ Horticulturalist of your level. You're enthusiasm Laura is always so enjoyable! Love Love Love the cabbage! So cool the way you designed en mass. You didn't mention the fence line spruces . . . I think they are spruces .... but they look awesome! When you mentioned Dexter I got tears. That little dude I only knew through my computer was so endearing. So, after all of that . . . I'm continually impressed with Aaron and what a wonderful partner in life he is with you. Two people could not compliment each other more. So no offence Aaron, I vote animals !! Ha! Thanks for the great video you two!
The garden spot with the urns and fountain that was turned off for the summer, you could turn it into a secret garden, or it might make a beautiful spot for croquet, badminton or other lawn sports.
Your yard is so insanely beautiful!!
Beautiful home, can't wait to see what happens next; your trees and plants have the best home!
I was so glad to get an aerial view of your house and gardens. I was having a hard time picturing each garden. Now I can see it all. Just beautiful!
yes those cabbage look just beautiful with the pansies very nice and neat
Yes, you are going to need a playground for the little one soon enough. They are right about that. You have such a beautiful lot. You guys are amazing. And you might need a puppy.
Great video. Always enjoy the tour through your yard. Another kitty would be great. We all miss Dex so much.
Wow that last shot! Everything looks so clean! Dream house and dream garden - amazing.
I've been waiting this!!Please Laura let us know how you prepare your garden for winter, if you clean and prune staff or you prefer doing it in the spring. Thanks! Kisses!!
Your property and gardens never fail to stun! Absolutely gorgeous! (P.S. I think animals would be great, too!)
The view from the drone was amazing. It really helped me visualize your beautiful gardens. Chickens might be nice. Orchard might be fun but a whole lot of work. Also as your little boy gets older you might want to consider a swimming pool and play area.
What a lovely yard . I only wish I had a yard that looks like your yard . I could see me having an afternoon Tea in a yard like this one. So until next time God bless you and your hubby .
Your place is looking wonderful! Can't wait to see what's to come ! And the little baby !!!!
the drone view and the music are amazing
So very sorry about your kitty! I was shocked to hear the sad news. 💔 I’m a fairly new subscriber and just heard. Sending hugs. 💐 R.I.P. Dexter
