The drone shot is so cool. The overhead shot captures the limbs and branches making them appear as veins and arteries running throughout the yard. Great tutorial, Jim! Thank you💚🐛🌻💦☀️
Jim, awesome video! Loved seeing the progress! Just curious, what happened to the hot tub plans? Is that still something you would add?
Man these were the good good days! The house looks so good with a little grass. Great Transformation.Tons of hard work.
Excellent series! Thank you. Happy holidays to you and Steph!
Jim great video batman!😊 hugs love!!!❤😊
Zowie thanks I'm staying!😊
Best honest Jim. Would you do a soil test in your garden if you didn't have a YouTube page? It seems like your style of gardening doesn't care about results of a soil test.
Even though I have seen these videos before, it was still great to watch again because they reinforced some important ideas on how to create a new bed space that will add to my garden but will also be functional. Also, it’s cool to see how much your garden has grown and filled in in just 4 years.
What a great series and an awesome way to wrap up the year! I really enjoyed it. Maybe I missed it, but were the results from the mail-in soil test included in this video? I’d love to know how they compared to the first three pH tests.
Wow! I’ve been following for awhile, but it’s SO great to see the starting point to current state all compiled! An amazing transformation in what I’d say is a very short time! And, It underscores the importance of preparation, data & a plan.
Great compilation series. Interesting, informative, and inspiring. A wonderful way to end the year. Thank you again and best holiday wishes to you, Steph, Holly, and the rest of your family.
As you've indicated many times before, you've been doing landscapes for many years. But I wonder, was there a point during the project where you sensed that maybe you bit off a bigger bite than planned? I'm looking at those initial videos you have of the original property, and that old landscape would likely win against me.
Love these time-lapse videos showing beginning and progress year over year. It gives me perspective and hope + excitement for how I want to get rid of lawn and build layers of plants in beds. Thank you so much for documenting this project!
AWESOME 😅
One of just a few videos where Jim is actually wearing long pants! As usual, another great informative video.
Wow! That is amazing to see all the changes. Giving some great ideas! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!🎄🎉
Does anyone know a product similar to the Soil3 in the Fort Worth, TX area?
Jim and Steph it’s amazing how far your garden has come in such a short time. So beautiful!
I enjoyed watching these early videos a second time.
Edgy music for edging … you are so funny.
Thanks for posting this collection of new landscape beds videos. It helps to be reminded of the sequential steps undergone to create such a project, especially the soil preparation phases.
Very Nice 😊
this is great! Anything I missed in the original, I can now find the missing information.
Wonderful idea to do some of the former videos!!!📸⏳ 👍❤️ I smiled with anticipation back then and am smiling with anticipation for the New Year!! Great recap Idea!!! Thank You again!
I started watching about two years ago so this video gave me the opportunity to see how you and Steph turn a blank space into beautiful gardens. I thoroughly loved this video 😊. Merry Christmas to you and Steph and Holly and Griffin 🎄
Garden Masterclass! Thanks Jim for everything!
Any plans for installing lighting of the plants??
That was incredible Jim!!! I have seen much of the footage, but seeing the whole transformation at one time is amazing. I love that you did it around the holidays, and in the winter, so that I have time to watch the whole thing. I have learned sooooo much from you and Stephany. Gardening keeps me sanish!
Quite the journey! What's so great about this transformation is how accessible it is – affordable, and do-able over time for so many gardeners. So much knowledge imparted. Look forward to seeing the expansion you're planning.
Enjoyed watching the recap. My, how it has come along! Thanks, Jim!
I heard you say “Bermuda” and laughed out LOUD 😮
👏👏👏
Great video Jim. Any idea how many subscribers you had when you moved to the new house (soil tests) vs now?
Thanks for doing a compilation! Y'all have done an amazing job.
مسيرة موفقةحفظك الاه ورعاك 💚💚💚💚🎄🎄🎄🎈🎈🎈☕️
You have taught me so much Jim! thank you
God bless you & Holly❤
You have taught me so much Jim! thank you
God bless you & Holly❤
The wooden fence is the part that I find an interesting choice in where you placed it. I suppose you could have placed it next to the street, but then you would have this odd space in-between the Dogwood. What a fun surprise to see that random dogwood become one of your most showiest pieces. The compost part is always fun. Merry Christmas Jim and Steph.
What a transformation! Just beautiful!
So fun seeing how the plans changed as time went on! I remember the front yard re-design but missed the greenhouse and full front porch that never happened. I am amazed at the fabulous growth you get out of your plants. I really need to improve my soil….
I don’t think I’ve seen any of these. Got thrown off a bit when I thought you were going to do back corner shade plants next, but you went to the front yard. All good, though. Picked up techniques and ideas that will be useful.
Thank you for this compliation. I have been following your channel for a little less than a year, so the old footage was new to me. The long video was perfect company while I turned the leftover Christmas ham into ham and split pea soup.
