What an absolutely Magical Easter🐣 you two have given your girls hiding Easter eggs on your beautiful Italian terraces under springtime budding trees & amongst the flowers and grass! Church bells, goat bells, and singing birds are your Springtime Symphony!! Brady your mother looked so comfortable & happy gardening with her granddaughters. And God has blessed you and the faeries have led you to your own mountain spring!!! ⛲ What a delight you & Heather make of each & every day.... Thank you for allowing us a peak at your charming celebration. So to all... Happy Resurrection Day!!! ❤💛💙🙏🐞💐🐇🌷🐰🌻🐦🐣🐤🐿🏵☘🌼 ~Charles & Tara

Though I'm not a commenter, I watch your videos every Sunday in absolute awe of the bravery of your renovation and work on your property in the foothills of the Italian Alps. Your vision, knowledge and capacity for endless hard work is astounding, Brady. How fortunate that you have such a willing, hardworking partner in Heather. Good luck to you both and your adorable daughters.

Mother nature gave you guys a gift! She loves what you're doing to bring in so much joy and honor to this piece of land.

[@Michaels_Angle]

I would actually plant in the walkway cracks - herbs like creeping thyme, oregano, marjoram, violets, etc. Getting those established would keep out weeds. I feel that the mortar would crack and still allow weeds to grow.

[@sandybowman7140]

Great idea! Wherever u find grubs u will have burrowing animals like skunks (they love grubs) so planting strong smelling plants like rosemary, thyme, lavender repels them + go figure skunks hate strong smells! 🦨🐾

[@kindlydude]

Maybe if he lifted the stones up & put mortar under them? But then that would be heaps of more back-breaking work & he has so much more to do ....but the pungent herbs are a great idea! I used to plant marigolds on the borders of my garden to keep out the bad insects too.

Iam sure she wishes there were people who could help Her son with all this heavy work. I know that when it’s finished it will not only be stunning but a home you can all feel so proud that you all helped build togeather.

Brady, the spring had been discovered before, judging by the stone work just above the spot. It seems to be the semi-buried remains of a trough, maybe for domestic animals.

[@elu1]

I recently stumbled upon this wonderful channel that's definitely worth checking out. The combination of European style and DIY makes it truly unique, but what makes it even more special is the whole family's involvement, which showcases their love and passion for the craft. Furthermore, the English used on the channel is exceptional, and the explanations provided are clear and concise, making it easy for the audience to follow along.

[@andreaandrea6716]

The difference between a puzzle and a path, is that the path is CREATIVE! (I'd choose a path over a puzzle any day!).

[@elmerkilred159]

The soil you collected is most likely leaf mold that takes about 18 months to decompose into a form of compost. Leaf mold is beneficial because trees draw up minerals that are deep in the soil that are beneficial to trees, and other plants. This makes gardening a lot easier because you are more likely to be able to grow your fruits and vegetables with little to no additives into your garden other than nitrogen.

[@Kimella777]

Oh man you left us hanging ❤😊loved it all. Great job on the path and garden. Great job helping girls❤😊

[@reneesmith7996]

Interesting. When you discovered the spring, I noticed the rocks behind you. It almost looked like a man made area to create space around a spring - maybe coming out from under those man made rocks??? Did you look above where you found the water? What fun to see what happened next week! Enjoy the time with your Mom, Granny!

[@deb7518]

Great Video! I noticed, just as you were discovering the water spring, that there is a bit of an opening at the bottom of the stone going up the mountain behind you, and some of the stones just above and aroung that opening look specially placed, as if someone outlined the opening just behind where you found the water. (You may be able to see what I'm talking about better by running the video back.) Could this be a spring they lined with rocks to use as their water source many years ago, and possibly time, leaves and rain wash filled it in? You probably figure it all out in Part 2, but I was just wondering. Fantastic job on that walkway...VERY professional looking! I loved Heather's delighted reaction! Belated Buona Pasqua!
