August 28th is my daughter's birthday so I won't forget the date. Are we invited to your big day? I seen how you guys did your back yard. It's really big. Maybe after the wedding you could put a wooden fence around your property line, put a patio up maybe a swimming pool . Just a thought. Again CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BID DAY.

[@lauraashleynl]

Where'd you find a man like this? You guys are such a power couple, it makes me smile seeing you build a future together :) You look so good together. I hope to find a man one day with whom I can go shopping for gardening and diy supplies

[@tiarablake1383]

Yes me to. You guys are so creative together

[@dawnross644]

Been gardening for over 40 years….put wood chips/bark down as mulch in your beds. It will basically become compost. Add every year for about 5 years & stir b4 adding more bc, each year you will add less. Once established, your beds will look very groomed. But, you have to keep weeds at bay for maintenance. Plant perennials you Love, so you don’t have to spend so much $$ every year. Add annuals for pops of color each year. Good Luck !!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Oooo! Such a great idea! Thank you love ❤️❤️❤️

[@bigneecee3126]

I agree, pine bark is so much better than mulch. It does not break down like mulch.

[@breeanders15]

I suppprt this message! Great gardening advice 👍🏽

Hi sweet friend. I remember when you were soo heartbroken when you lost a home during the homebuying process. I felt the hurt, but I also understood that God had something much better in store for you and He did! This home was destined, because it helped unlock the rest of your blessings. This home will witness your wedding and more to come. I am so proud of you and Marcus. Much love hon!

[@megancrocker2234]

Hi girl, I’m so, proud of you and Marcus. You guys have done so, much to make this a home. You guys have made it look so, much better. It’s turning out to be a beautiful home. I’m so, happy for you guys. I can’t wait to see a barn. I love that little area with the birdbath. Looks cute. I would do a bench there. The landscape looks great. I can’t wait to see it all together. You and Marcus work wonderful together. I am thrilled with you guys having a outside wedding. It’s going to be awesome. Stay safe. Have a great night. God Bless you guys!! Xo 😘💕🦋🐶💓

[@jills911]

Those rocks!! They’re back! I don’t like those rocks, especially for a patio. I don’t think people at a wedding will want to walk on rocks in nice shoes. I don’t like walking on it in raggedy shoes. Pavers would be so much more beautiful and functional.

[@vinessabryant9826]

I am so proud of you like you two are my children! Your home is beautiful, and all the work you have done is amazing! Peace & Blessings!

[@Aisha_Chavah]

My cheeks hurt from smiling through the whole darn video! 😂😂😂 Your excitement, watching you and Marcus grow together as one, a dreamy and magical back yard…. Omg I just love it!! I can’t wait to watch your children running around finding fairies and magical creatures. This just gives endless possibilities and memories. 💚💫🥰😘

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Yesss! So many possibilities! Thank you! 😊😊😊 I was smiling as I was editing & rewatching the video too lol

[@Aisha_Chavah]

@@YoungLadyBusiness you’re welcome!! 🥰

[@brendataylor8917]

I can certainly appreciate all your hard work. I’ve been gardening FOREVER, so if your seeds don’t do as you hope they will, remember perennials are the way to go. Last spring/summer I chose perennials for my containers……..then in the fall I put them in the ground. My flower beds are blooming like crazy. Plan to do the same this summer. Also, remember bulbs. I ordered 200 from Breck’s. My new cutting garden is beautiful. And, they guarantee them. So…..don’t get overwhelmed. It will be beautiful. Just plan for the future. Best wishes to you guys.

[@carolynguest2496]

Hi Kayla and Marcus, I admire you two so much, you're two hard working young people. ❤️ I love your dedication to each other and what you plan and make it happen. Kayla your reaction to the backyard was so cute. It made me smile. I know how satisfying it is when you see your plan come together slowly but surely. I can hardly wait til the next video to see the patio started. August 27th will be here before you know it. Keep up the hard work. Love you guys. ❤

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Awww hey boo! You are so sweet! thank you love! It’s the most satisfying thing ever 🤗 I’m so very excited for the patio too!

Kayla you and Marcus did y'all thang on this back yard your wedding day is going to be blessed and beautiful keep up the great inspiration love you guys!!!!!!

[@cheyennetapiasmith9056]

Hey Kayla Are those bushes in your front yard, Azaleas? If so, try using 'PINE BARK" MULCH, it provides "acid" which azaleas need. Just a thought, I used it in my 'azalea beds" and it made a big difference.

[@whatsaudreymaking]

Oooh! I love this yard! Yalls wedding is gonna be Amazing! I’m praying for thriving grass for y’all!

[@junocomm]

First of all, you and Marcus are such a good match. Second, your home is really coming together beautifully! I had no idea you had that much land. That's awesome! I see why you chose to have a backyard wedding.🥰

[@zachpoffenbarger4188]

Hey just a little tip from a gardener, if you’re planning on planting wildflower seeds around the bird bath you should probably remove the weed fabric so the plants can fully root out. Unless you’re popping in plants then all you gotta do is cut a little hole in the fabric and pop the plants in!

[@mskeyelowery7146]

When adding dirt, mulch, stones etc to landscaping I have found it pretty economical to go to places like mulch and more located 2226 hwy 34, Newnan Ga 30265. For instance 1 yard of mulch is only $36 which is much less expensive then purchasing bags of mulch dirt etc. and they deliver. You will need a rake, shovel, wheel barrel but it is worth it.

[@mfun503]

Also more environmentally conscious since it makes less plastic waste.

[@jmck4904]

AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL

[@gabrielleg.1347]

So excited for this series! You have such a gorgeous lawn and I know your going to make it look incredible for the wedding! Smart to do that so you spend the money to upgrade it but it will last for a lifetime, not just one day! Couple of things to note; just make sure when you re mulch the front area you put down plastic lining so weeds can't grow through again, and also, I'm sure some other people have already commented this in past videos, but just wanted to make sure you guys look into if that is ivy covering the tree's in the backyard. It looks super pretty, and I'm sure you definitely want to leave it for the wedding, but I know long term some types of ivy strangle and kill tree's causing them to falling hazards. So would be good to get an tree arborist out there to make sure if you haven't already.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Ooo! Thank you for the tips! 🥰🥰🥰

[@shanbraz6011]

‼️‼️‼️‼️ comments under this video are EVERYTHING!!! 🙌🏾 all This advice is great.

[@mfun503]

I would skip plastic and use recycled cardboard. Micro plastics are getting into water and affecting humans and animals.

[@MelissaMalzahn]

What about using Lava rock, I had that in my some of my beds. I used black instead of red. Columbine is pretty too, irises. Order from Michigan bulb, Brecks. Lilacs, Rose of Sharon. Myrtle is a nice ground cover for maybe in the back it has purple flowers. 💜

[@francesgore3459]

Love,love,love, Cypress mulch is really good it absorbs water and it's treated to help with Crain insects👍

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

I’m going to look into that! 🥰

[@JuJuBee223]

When you get ready to do your front beds.. Trust me Rock is a bit more pricey but it will save you soo much time effort and money in the long run..invest in the thickest weed fabric you can find. You can get a cheaper rock for the main filler then they can use another color for accent to sprinkle on top( not mixed in because you want ALL your good rock on top where you can see it). My sister in law got her whole front done and delivered for about $200. Have them dump it on a tarp close by.

[@debbiehood9995]

The yard is going to be amazing. It is huge. I can see a beautiful wedding ahead. I’m still glad you guys made the choice to have your wedding in the back yard.

[@ShesRondaMarie]

Hey girl glad to see you back. Couple of tips. You need to dig those weed roots out because if you don’t they will continue to come back. Don’t shake the dirt off because some have seeds or bulbs at the ends and you could just be shaking in the bed defeating the pupose. I have picker that looks fork with only two picks on the end you dig dug twist and plucks out most of the roots or I use a shovel if it’s tons of weeds. Keep doing this and mulching you will see your beds have less and less weeds. Also I suggest you buy and mix you’d beds with perennials and annuals if you want full bloom beds for the wedding. Seeds will take too long.

[@rosamccord9398]

PLEASEEE PUT SOME SHOES ON. I wear rubber boots cause I'm afraid of the no shoulders

[@stephaniegreen440]

I tell you, you two motivate me, your moving right along with your projects. Your yard is huge!! After the wedding I'm envisioning tables and chairs a med. sized stage (built by Marcus) LOL for entertaining family and friends, singing , dancing etc. oh don't forget solor string lights. Why remove the mulch you already have? I just add more weed fabric and put new mulch down, which helps with the depth. Staying tuned with more videos.

[@Mandieface]

We did cucumbers and they took off. We were giving them away by the bag full. Not much maintenance was involved. We also did string beans. They were delicious eat them right off the vine. Super sweet

[@terrydionnesvlogs9355]

It is very dreamy and romantic!❤❤❤❤

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Yesss that’s the vibe 🥰

OMG the vines stuff that covers the trees IS SO CUTE gives me fairy cottage core! Omg you have a dream yard. I wish y’all the best :)!

[@suzanneweary9739]

Hello, you two! The yard will be luscious and beautiful in time for the wedding. If you start veggies now with seeds, you can grow squashes,zucchini, melons, and stuff like that. Peppers and tomatoes may take a while, so just buy the starts. Same with some herbs. Lowe's has a sale on starts until the 27th, so start with those to learn how to take care of them and to figure out placement in your yard for growing. Welcome to the gardening family! Happy Sunday!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Ooo! Thank you for telling me about the sale 🥰 definitely gonna check them out 🌸

[@suzanneweary9739]

@@YoungLadyBusiness you're welcome! If you're direct sowing, cover your seeds until they germinate or the birds will eat them.

[@mfun503]

Here's some tips to make your transformation eco-friendly. Use recycled cardboard instead of plastic as a weed barrier, avoid using toxic weed herbicides since they seep into the soil and into water and are causing harmful effects for people and animals, try to buy soil or mulch by the truckload at a local compost provider indtead of buying it by the bag which creates more plastic waste and use bricks or rocks to line areas instead of plastic edging.

[@ednarichardson3442]

I think you guys made the smartest decision to turn your home into where you will be getting married. The trees are so much more beautiful then the venues you looked at. The trees are gonna look beautiful in the photos as well. I know your backyard space is gonna come out so beautiful I'm looking forward to seeing the end results. Smart decision guys you definitely have the space. Your putting $$ into your home and making it beautiful instead of giving it to a venue and saving money on top of it. I love it totally here for it! Keep up the wonderful work you guys.

I learned that it is important to water your yard at night to that as the sun comes up it does not burn the grass

[@jazzyjayhellum7273]

In watering grass early morning or late evening. Not when the grass is full of sun U burn it U Guys are rocking

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Thank you for the tip 🥰

[@SMASHMURDER]

Hey my wife and I went with full rubber mulch from Sam's. Not a blend. It will not blow away and the color last for 12 years as oppose to 12 months with traditional mulch. Sam's have the cheapest and biggest bags. We went with the red. We have already had major winds and storms and the mulch did not move an inch. You will love it. trust me! Blessings!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Omgggg! I’m gonna research this know! We got ours from lowes! It’s terrible 😞

If you’re looking for an easy flower to start by seed zinnias are the way to go. They’re beautiful, there are a ton of varieties and colors, and they take off quickly. I agree with others about the hydrangeas. I also think peonies are a must though they only bloom for a short time they are the prettiest of flowers. My wedding flowers were peonies and hydrangeas. 🤗

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Yesss hydrangeas are stunning! 🥰💕 I picked up some zinnias and planted them yesterday 🌸
