Moving the High Tunnel & All the Plants + Planting Invincibelle Ruby Hydrangeas! 🙌🌿🤩

[@BobbieJeanM]

I almost never comment because others say it so much better than I can. But oh my goodness, how my back was hurting just watching you move the tables, blocks and plants! When I was your age, I could and would do the same. Now that I’m in my early 70’s I am paying dearly for all that! I know you have Gorilla carts so please start using them and also the hand trucks or even the forks on the tractor to move heavy things. Your back and the rest of your body will thank you!! 👵🏻💕

[@emeraldtownpaula7570]

I couldn’t agree with you more! I am now in my early 70s and I’m also pain for all that heavy lifting I did when I was younger! When were young we think we can do it all!😊

[@Thinking.Of.Some.Handle]

I didn't do gardening but I have done heavy pulling and lifting pallets of boxes and ice. They get up to 2000 lbs, it's hell on your back and legs. I'm almost 50 and I'm paying for it already. Easy to not think about what you will feel like later in life when you're doing the hard work. Lots of ibuprofen!

[@sallyemerson-brasch5195]

As am I. Got some tennis elbow & arthritis from all the work I have done. Laura, you are my favorite person to watch!! You go girl.

[@pattilynne4874]

Agree I’d be needing some Aleve for relief!!

[@BobbieJeanM]

@@Thinking.Of.Some.Handle and Tylenol and ice packs!

[@michelesimpson2237]

Miss Laura you are a beast moving all that in the high tunnel. Wow you go girl.

[@janetclapp9767]

Aaron is conspicuously absent! 💪

[@ht12wq]

Laura, you are my hero! Even when I was young, I could not have done all that you did in one day.

[@LibbyfromWVZONE6B]

Watching Laura do this physical work reminds me of my history. At my age 44 I bought 68 acres, built a house, built barns, brought in my four horses, started and maintained vegetable and flower gardens and thought no problem I can do it all. And I could. Still do to a point. However, today at age 73, I have had two knee replacements, rotator cuff repair and spacers installed in my spine. My point: preserve your body!

[@cynthiaj4863]

You go, girl! Your forearms were probably so sore the next day. Those cinder blocks are no joke. I moved 90 cinder blocks by myself when I created my raised beds two yrs ago, and I was 60 yrs old then. 😊

[@sherylemoore8626]

As always, love watching your videos. What a great team all of you make. I have found that as the years have passed, the cinder blocks in my garden have gained quite a bit of weight! 😂You are creating such a beautiful space, you've got such a great eye.

[@Gardengirlie04]

I’m in awe, two cinder blocks at once, I think I’ve got to start lifting heavier weights. That was a lot of work but as always looks beautiful

[@baxterbuggie8873]

Since we've been without power & internet, I'm so happy to be able to watch you again. We're in the foothills of western North Carolina, surrounded by storm devastation. Your videos are so welcome as well as a wonderful diversion from the tragedies around us. The high tunnels look like they are at home beside that barn! Thank you, Laura, for your inspiration. Your videos help me to see the beauty of nature even in the long, clean-up days ahead in our storm-torn state.

[@5262janna]

Totally understand the statement I do not remember those concrete blocks weighing so much! I feel that way every time I am in the garden at age 62 everything seems heavier and takes longer than it did in my 30’s:))

[@evalindell2757]

Amen! At 64 I cannot do half of what I could in my 30s and 40s. Everything gets more daunting!

Auch wenn es viel Arbeit ist liebe Laura, doch wenn alles seine Ordnung hat, macht es so viel mehr Spaß an die Arbeit zu gehen. Ordnung ist das halbe Leben. Wirklich sehr sehr schön geworden. Liebe Grüße from Germany

[@lindab424]

Love the new home for the high tunnels. That whole back area has been transformed so quickly to what it was when you purchased that piece of land. Looks great, well done.

[@dianesfloralart]

Wow you were handling those cinderblocks like they were styrofoam!!! It all looks amazing and so efficient now!! Great Work Paul and Bethany too!

[@marytillison8392]

Paul and Bethany very much great help!!!

[@strongcuppatea1629]

Today's video editting was brilliant! Bravo to you and your team for the amazing effort everyone puts in to keep your property and channel evolving! It's very much appreciated!🤩

[@lynnoconnell6062]

Glad you are realizing dreams come to fruition. I live in SC. We are recovering much devastation from recent hurricane Helene - from FL to TN- especially NC & TN. Watching your work evolve, emotionally taking part in projects - is a joy and a calming distraction. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@stephaniebalducci6248]

It's hard to even imagine what you all are going through. Hope you are able to recover from this quickly! My heart goes out to you! ❤️❤️‍🩹

This was much more fun watching then doing it I bet 😁

[@maryvallas772]

The second I saw you picking up those cinder blocks, I knew how sore you were going to be! They are a beast! And then moving all the plants! 🥵😵‍💫😵 It looks great, though! ❤

[@Blake.Cooper]

Enjoy seeing the vision for behind the barn come together! Have a great week GA Team!!

[@АллаБарановская-т2с]

Я только что закончила заниматься комнатными цветами, перемыла листья,кашпо, аж спина заболела. Подготовка к зиме большое дело, пора заносить комнатные в дом, ночи уже холодные. А тут Лаура тоже возиться с цветами, даже шлакоблоки носит, хорошо, что пришли помощники!!!❤

[@denniscaldwell8193]

Laura you and your team was in beast mode doing this greenhouse move and set up. Another area getting buttoned up it looks so beautiful.

[@maiai2992]

3ft is too small distance between your tunels , we have 2 with a meter between and it's not enough if you get heavy load of snow, you wont it at least 5 ft, just suggestion from experience

[@marytillison8392]

I myself go at least 5’-6’ in between high tunnel cause of snow! Just my opinion! And leaves! Any clean up with poles any kind a accident waiting to happen!

[@judim964]

What a blessing Bethany and Paul are!

[@donnabraden3126]

I have never been a business person. I don’t care for when its extreme, ignoring humanity. So it’s nice to see that your hard-working day personally benefits you, makes you money and it’s something you love..! That’s the only kind of business worth having, for me.

[@thomsenjr420]

Oh dear, only 3ft between the new tunnels?? You're asking us to get heavy snow load & it will build up between, in that narrow area. Anyway, great video, as always! ~ Robin Thomsen, Spokane, WA

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Hey Laura, Aaron, Bethany and Paul y'all need an award for moving plants, tables, cemen blocks and Paul and Bethany I'm thinking HUGE REWARD, for moving that high tunnel, putting back up and getting ready to put another up. Great job everyone. I think everyone needs to rest as much as possible today. 4 hard axx workers. Y'all are so amazing. The hydrangeas are going to look so beautiful when they bloom next year. What a beast of a video.❤

[@robingrunzweig1880]

well, i'm tired!!! 😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣holy moly, nothing beats the amount of work and results you get from Team Paul and Bethany! those two are amazing!! and of course, we would all like a bottle of Laura energy, please start stocking that in the store - it will sell out quickly.. i love the new placement of the tunnels, and i was thinking as you drove us down the lane about that horse pasture... wowowowowow.. what a gorgeous estate you have... and remember: you've done all this in EIGHT YEARS!!! amazing!! i love how you will be able to work in the high tunnels and still have an eye toward the playground, too... great way to get things done while keeping an eye on the kiddoes while they play outside... that was so much work and the reward is stunning... and next: the DREAM STREAM!!! yes! so excited!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤

[@joydaniel597]

The “ bottle of Laura energy “ is hilarious! So true, I need that too.

[@janetucker4355]

Ah, I see infrastructure for a security gate--I can't wait to see the design! I love how the high tunnel came together in its new space. I understand moving cinder blocks and I became sore just watching y'all. Thanks for the video!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I was so excited I tried to find that hydrangea here in Alaska, we are a zone 3, and on proven winners site said NO-ONE in Alaska has them. I need to find a friend in the lower 48 to ship me some! They are just beautiful

[@relaxingnatures81]

Laura your workaholic. Salute to Paul and Brenda .job well done❤❤❤

[@lorrainel2314]

I understand your excitement for the new high tunnel, Laura. The infrastructure that gardens need to house plants, store, sew seeds etc are as aesthetically pleasing (or the opportunity to be pleasing) as the garden itself. My greenhouse is my pride and joy. Your property is a credit to you and Aaron.

[@karenschwartz5209]

Nice!! High tunnel and Hydrangea plants.

Bethany and Paul, ROCK!

[@rosealvarado264]

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️

[@vallietmc9553]

Which direction did you set up the new tunnel, east west or north south? What direction will the wind flow be for your area regarding the tunnel? What do you suggest is best? How clever to place your home-made tables on cinder blocks! What a great project! Would 4 feet be a better distance, if in fact snow does fall and collect in between the 2 tunnels? Four or five seems like a better choice of a pathway. You need more birch clusters around the 'flower garden"?

[@kimberlystuiver2850]

You will all sleep well tonight, that is for sure! What a extremely productive day, making goals happen!

[@juliewolfe7558]

Oh looks so beautiful!!!! The high tunnel looks so cute sitting by the red barn. Just a thought - the walkway between the two high tunnels might be a bit tight. If you've got the room you might consider pushing it out a foot or two.

[@dianebateman6808]

What a difference, it looks great back there. The grass is looking beautiful, can we get another tour of the back area with a drone view? Your forearms must have been burning with all those cinder blocks, such satisfying work.

Hi Laura and Aaron, I would like to make a comment that is a compliment. Laura, you amaze me. There isn't anything you can not do, you just go, go, go. What ever you touch turns to beauty. You guys work so hard and make everything turn out so beautiful. I found your channel in 2019 and I'm so thankful I did.

It's incredible to see all the progress been made this season! Here's a cheeky video request for the slower winter months: a recap of all the big projects completed in the year with before and afters! I.e. all the projects in the new property, the dream stream, the fountain, etc. It would be so much fun to look over all you've accomplished in just one season 🤗

[@gaylerichards7409]

[@PatriciaAShelton-no6cq]

The field of green pasture is going to be stunning. I know the dream spring will start up this week. Think everyone has been waiting to see this in progress. It's going to make it all look more natural to the area. I sure could use a part time Paul or Bethany. Been under the weather for over a month. I did a lot of work before my first surgery. Reconstruction surgery failed so i had to have an above knee amputation. But everything is looking a little sad. My roses are in a good flush right now since weather has cooled down a bit at night. My son came over and picked up so many limbs tho small there were so many from storm Helena that passed thru Georgia. We were blessed no severe damage tho surrounding states were hit hard. Some parts of Georgia are still without power. An Ingles in our little town closed permanently due to no power. Store shelves are looking like it did Covid. Shelves are bare an it's hard for Trucks to get things delivered. Ingles base is in North Carolina and they were hit hard. Parts of interstates were washed away. Prayers for all who were effected by this storm.

[@dianegougelet1829]

Hi Patricia~ I am keeping YOU in my prayers as well as all of those affected by Helene's wrath. The devastation is difficult to comprehend! Thankfully, our wonderful weather services were able to warn us of what may come. Sadly, the outcomes were at the high ends of their predictions. (I can't fathom not having these services🙅) ... I pray you'll heal well & for the strength you'll need for the transition you have ahead. God speed❤ 🙋

[@evalindell2757]

I used to work that hard but I pay it today with a bad back, bad shoulders & not beeing able to work at all like that any more! I miss those days though when I was out from 7 in the morning till 11 at night and only stopped to get some food and I looved it! But I think Laura & Aron are wise enough to, already at their age, think of higher high beds and how to take better care of themselves than I did!

[@altheab.8907]

Moving away from the coast will be nice not much treat of hurricanes where I will be moving. But I find it such a thrill to watch you planting which is my passion after quilting another passion.
