Making Our Yard Hard To Mow - Putting up New Garden Beds

Mowing the yard will be harder with all the garden beds, but it's worth it to grow some veggies and flowers! We enjoyed putting the beds up and spending some time outside. Thanks for watching, drop us a comment & God bless you!

Austin it looks like you made it into a heart shape for her ❤.

I Thought the Same Thing!! The L Shaped one Looks like a Heart!!❤

[@grandmapam]

Yes, I agree it does. Heart ❤️ shape ❤. Such a nice start, so much love at your new home.

[@cynthiahurry-asoulsearcher729]

You two make me wish I had life to do over again on the regular. I'm so happy for you both. Such a lovely couple. Your life together is going to be amazing.

[@aprilporcellini3097]

Me too and I'm married 45 yrs

[@user-pv7vx4ou8z]

I agree my husband and I married very young and Clintwood Virginia but when he passed over a year ago, we celebrated 43 years hardest thing I’ve ever walked through in my entire life and I’ve been through a lot of deaths anyhow yeah that precious best friend love connection everything I love seeing other young couples that are truly in love and so kindand patient with each other and just love each other and have so much respect for one another. It’s great to see that a lot of that is lost on our generation anymore lol that makes me sound old but it’s a truth.

[@sharonhenry7422]

Love your channel, Corey.... I've heard y'all mention that Austin is from Georgia... I'm from Southeast Georgia in a town called Swainsboro!!!!

[@EuleneWages4644]

[@LA-wv5gd]

@@user-pv7vx4ou8z So sorry for the pain & sorrow of losing your husband. I understand. It's three years tomorrow for me, & I miss him so much.

You two are so incredibly wonderful....We love you both so much. Austin, we love that you have joined so many of the postings. GOD please bless this family as they become three!

Austin is more relaxed than I have seen him on camera. 🥰🥰

[@susanmilam2346]

I am loving hearing the creek in the background. I could lay in a hammock all day listening to that! Your property is beautiful! Baby is coming soon! 😊

[@debrapate5046]

It’s a delight watching you two together. Y’all are so happy and thankful for everything! God made you two for each other. Love you both!❤️

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@brendawoods554]

Austin is getting to be as handy as Matt around the house. Your yard is so nice, level and the creek is beautiful. Y'all seem so happy.

[@carolynpurser7469]

I was just thinking this is like your mom and dad. I really enjoy those segments where they sit and enjoy their popcicles and just talk.

[@LisaGreenleeASMR]

Am I the only person that thinks Corie sounds just like Katie now that she is expecting? Great video y'all!

[@btrixie60]

They look more alike now too!

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Yep!!

[@kellyfazekas7831]

I've noticed the same thing!!

[@ConnieBrown-gu6bb]

I agree!

[@westerncowboy123]

She does look and sound more like Katie!

[@patbuegeler7770]

❤❤Looking great for the short time you have been there. I like those beds. Austin is so sweet. He is a real handyman!!!!

[@kevinramsey3490]

During my wife's first pregnancy she had toxemia. I'm glad you and Katie are having healthy pregnancies. Once again, God takes care of his children.

[@monachase9106]

The more active you are walking etc... the easier your labor will be. God Bless you.

[@leasagowers2293]

Absolutely. Walking will cut that labor time way down. I walked 2 miles every day and my labor only lasted 2 hours. I thanked my doctor after I gave birth for telling me to do that. You said you get stiff when you sit down for 30 minutes or so.. don’t sit down.. lay down and stretch your body out when you rest with a pillow between your knees to keep your back and hips aligned. You’ll see how much better that is to prevent that stiffness. Preferably on one side or the other… baby boy will like it too!

[@joycel242]

We laid cardboard in between the raised beds and covered it with pea gravel for walking paths. On the outside edges of the planters where there was grass we plopped down old logs and it keeps the planters from shifting and protects the planters from my weed whacker. LOL.

[@sandraking9650]

Wood chips are good, the cardboard will eventually breakdown & pebbles will go into the earth & are costly. Save $$$$

[@tonytribble2977]

I was going to suggest pea gravel. We had two big beds & they were a pain to cut around. They had to be torn down they were wood & they rotted.

[@KR-os6nn]

We tried pea gravel, but it was quite slippery, I would not recommend - especially on even a mile slope or if you like to run or have a puppy dog. Wood chips have been better. Fine or ultra fine pine shavings might be another good one, makes the ground soft to walk on. Straw that hasn’t been sprayed with pesticides or herbicides or chemicals may also be great, I’ve heard it works great for chickens to churn into compost and great as a mulch around plants in garden beds and on pathways. Someone said that cardboard can attract mice, though I don’t know if that’s true or not. Plastic tarp is said to put plastics in the soil. So, wood chips, pine shavings, or non-sprayed straw seems to work best for us - absorbant in heavy rain, nice and soft to walk on, keeps the soil and ground moist and healthy, takes care of mud, and isn’t slippery.

[@comiketiger]

I don't like coconut either, and I also don't care for nuts in my food. I can set and eat nuts of most types as a snack or lunch substitute in the back woods, but I don't want it in my food! Lol You're a good man, brother. God bless all here.

[@lindagerstein9074]

You are correct Cory. Stay as active as you can. It will help!

[@user-ff8nj8vt7p]

The raised bed looks good they will be great when you get all the stuff planted Austin is a good husband and he will be a great dad God bless all of you

[@catherinecooper2360]

That is so special that a viewer sent you this wonderful gift! Nice to see that Austin may become another Matt. Can't wait to see what you plant and then your harvest. You could always get those planter boxes that go over your porch railng to plant small things like lettuce or radishes.

[@JakeKoenig]

That's a beautiful piece of property! That backdrop of trees is so peaceful and private, and the creek running makes me want to sit outside and take a nap. 🌞😴 I'd probably plant some fruit trees around the yard in places where they won't shade the garden sections, but that's just me. Looking forward to see how you transform your yard over time!

[@leighflorkevich9916]

I love that Austin says "that's all they are to it"! My family has always said that. I agree with Corie that the raised beds are beautiful! You can just walk out your door and pick some fresh veggies for supper! How cool is that!? Y'all are just such a sweet coup!e. If ever the Lord put couples together it's you and Austin and Tipper and Matt. He's got a very special husband picked out just for Katie, you wait and see!

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

That’s my prayers for Katie 🙏✝️🙏🫶🏼🥰 A Very Special Husband like Austin ✝️Corie is very Blessed 😇

I laid down cardboard and used thick layer of dirt, then topped with pine straw. Surrounded entire bed area so that there is no problem for mowing.

[@tonistephens4068]

You are correct Corie, the garden bed is beautiful, and so is the color. You and your precious husband are beautiful too. I love your new yard, and all of the level areas for gardening, as well as for baby to play.

Thank you so much!

[@grekiely6245]

Corie and Austin, thanks for the tour :) Tops to see Hubby and Wifey (two best friends), I also see the garden heart :). . Not much success with veges in our raised garden beds, so back to the store for us. You two are amazing, look after each other, and family in our CHRIST. :)

[@lateknightr3038]

your yard is gonna look like the game tetris with all the different shaped beds..lol..i love it.its awesome that you are able to buy a house right next to your family

[@Clfike]

I built my 2 ft by 8 ft Vego garden bed all by myself and I’m a 84-year-old widow! It’s full of happy veggies now!!

[@roxannern9393]

Thanks for sharing! As you know, new life is so exciting! You are correct Corie. Keep moving. I worked peds with my first full term, my Mom and my boss came in and made me go to L&D as I had gone to work without much discomfort just a little regular muscle tightening. Only 4 hours of what I (RN) consider "real" labor. Praying yours goes so easy. (all mine did). So so exciting. Parents with new babies, Grandparents with new grandbabies and gardens with new plants. He is good. He is great.

[@Hare-familylife1985]

You two are so adorable and precious. Suggestion; before ypu both start putting dirt into your new garden beds. Put down screening on the ground, then cover with weed prevention paper, then add your dirt. This will help with rodents coming up under neath the bottom of each garden bed and eating your vegetables. Love you both. God's blessings

[@TerrieAllred2023]

Love that you have some raised beds! Just think...won't be long and you will be gardening with a little boy running around in the yard! We saw an eagle flying with a squirrel in its mouth several years ago. :)

[@kma9292]

Like the garden beds, they will be a great addition to your home. I have a suggestion for the top edge of the beds, you can use pool noodles, just put a slit through one side and push it down on the top edge of the metal. This can protect you from being cut or scratched. If it slides off you can just put it back on. Just a suggestion, good luck with your garden.

[@thepressleygirls]

Great idea!

[@elainebuchka6533]

The Garden Beds Look Nice Corie & Austin!!❤ Now for Dirt!! Can't wait to See what You Plant..
