I think all your followers wondered about what might be happening in your lives. It is so kind of you to share what has been such a difficult experience for each of your family members but especially for your eldest daughter. I have a family member in somewhat similar circumstances. I think awareness of what is the best way to have a good experience with a family pet has increased exponentially over my 70+ years on the planet but there are some who still lack that understanding. I have never believed people who abuse animals should be allowed to have them. The laws protecting animals are better now but it has taken a very long time to get to this point. I’m VERY HAPPY for your family that you will have a permanent home after twenty years in service. It will be a different life but thank you to your entire family for enduring with the demands of military life. I also have a family member in the military and the separation isn’t easy. You are spot on, gardening is about joy. It is about learning, sharing knowledge with our fellow gardeners. The wonder of being outdoors in all weathers 😊. So glad to have this video. Looking forward to future adventures in the garden with your family. 😊
I am so sorry to hear about the neighbor, there truly is nothing worst then living right next door. I vote plant the containers, while you deconstruct your garden, you'll feel good planting something. Look forward to see your new garden get going.
An AMAZING journey is ahead of you❤ Thank you for all your magical videos! Maybe put some of you plants, Roses, flowers on an EBay auction. The plants will go to wonderful homes;) You both have taken such great love and care of your plants and many people totally appreciate your vast knowledge. Owning one of your “Green Babies” would be an honor! A win, win…then viewers can see what new treasures you grow in Texas 🥰 and…you will have a nice secure nest egg to make that happen AND it would be fair for all the viewers. Downside, besides letting all those lovely green gems go and taking the time to ship. If you do go the auction route, for shipping you can list a time. For example two weeks. I’m hoping for an auction! Please think about it🌹
It must have been so depressing living in that situation but so happy for your family the neighbors are gone and you get your life back.I love your channel and can’t wait to go on this adventure with you. Rember this your family always has to come first no opplogies necessary we are just happy to see you again.Ambros thank you so much for your service good luck in your transition to the mainstream world god bless you and your family and I pray your oldest daughter over comes this fear with parents like you she will be just fine.❤🇺🇸👍
Hi, from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 missed you guys. Glad to have you back. All the best to both of you and the family on your new adventures. Glad the neighbour has bugged off.
Well, I'm so sorry for what you went through, but I'm so glad you made it through and it sounds like you're stronger for it! I'm so excited that you're coming to Texas! I have lived in various areas of Texas my whole life! Now I live in East Texas (Marshall) and I have to say it is the most green/lush area that I've ever lived in. It's zone 8; I love it because it gets cool enough for plants that need some dormancy, but still has a long warm season! There's plenty of space around here. Some good University's too! ETBU and LeTourneau are big in this area, TSTC and Wiley as well. I also love my church community here! I'm praying for you and your family during this time! Hope everything goes smoothly during the decision making process and the actual move!
Thanks for your content. And, for serving our country. I lost my husband to the Viet Nam war. I'm retired from church planting, counseling and teaching. If you need a shoulder...I will make myself available to your family. Thank you God bless you and help you with your move and transition. I am always looking for affordable ways to regain all that which I have lost. Almost all of my gardening implements were stolen out of storage. I moved (retired) to Appalachia in 2018. I am handicapped so I can't dig in my rural, rocky yard. I prayed years ago...that if or when you moved...if you can't take everything with you...that you would consider me as a plant parent. I would love to adopt what you choose to make available. I understand all what you are saying. I used to have extensive gardens and grow food and flowers as part of ministry. I lost the gardens that GOD allowed me to plant from scratch . Built over twenty years... all lost in 2008. I moved back to VA to take care of my mother in here final years before moving to heaven. I miss gardening!!! I'm very rural. Please let me know what if anything, I can do for you. And when, where etc. to purchase some of the plants you won't be taking. Thanks. I am praying for your sweet family. Your garden-loving friend. Darla EDIT*** I do wonder why you never responded back with even a hello.
I appreciate your honesty above your neighbor and life changes to come. No matter where you move I will keep watching your videos, love your family and garden. God bless and please keep in touch.
First off thank you Ambrose and your families for your service. You are so considerate of others and peoples feelings. I wish you best of luck in your travels. Looking forward on watching your travels. Keep trucking along!
So good to see your faces and hear from you! I’m so glad all is fine and you’re moving back to Texas this summer. Congrats on your retirement, Ambrose! Looking forward to going with you both through this next exciting chapter!!
Angie and Ambrose - it's so good to see you guys. I subscribe so I see whenever you upload, consistency isn't what keeps me coming back to your videos. I'm truly sorry for how toxic your neighbor situation has been. I wish you guys to have a great relationship with your future neighbors, or maybe have some acreage where your nearest neighbors are pretty far away.
Military spouse here🙌 What a horrible situation guys. I have definitely go e through similar issues with neighbors. Congratulations to your retirement! My spouse recently retired from the military and we moved to our forever home. Now I can’t wait to build my blank space with you. Love your channel and I hope we get to meet one day! S.A. TX.
I am so sorry this happened to you! I pray that these people were reported and that the poor dog was rescued. If you ever find yourself in that situation again please report the situation immediately. You do not deserve to have to endure living in those conditions. I pray your time left there is peaceful. I don't know how gardening in Texas will be. I live in Florida for 8 years and I detested gardening there. I now live in the Midwest and love gardening here. Where ever you live wish you well!
Oh my gosh, what a terrible experience. I'm so sorry!!!! Very glad to hear that your neighbors have moved, and you can breathe again. Best of luck to you as you consider your future and where you will land. Gardens are salve for the soul, so I hope your gardening adventures will help you in all the ways possible.
Hi Ambrose & Angie! Missed you guys. Wow what a story with the horrible neighbors. Especially the dog beating.. I got very upset. Happy it’s all over. Please share more of the garden & pruning videos. If it wasn’t for your channel I never would had the courage to try container gardening. I love it! Thank you❤
Great to see you both again! I hope you find the right zone for your forever home. I laughed when you said "I hope not a 9!" Zone 9a here in Houston. I feel ya. We can be quite limited with variety here. That's why I enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful lush plant and flower varieties over the years. Wishing you all the very best where ever your family ends up.
Im so sorry for your troubles. It sounds like your neighbor had some serious issues. Thank you so much for your service!!!! Enjoy your upcoming retirement... you deserve it! Safe travels ❤
So sorry to hear you all had to go through having neighbors from hell.. I wish you & your family the best in your move to Texas. Thank you for your military service. Love you both & your content! You're lovely & genuine. ❤❤
I’m so sorry for your circumstances with neighbors! They are so important to where you live. I’m sad for you but glad it’s over! I pray the Lord prepare your new home with beautiful neighbors! Please keep posting new stuff, I so enjoy you two!!!
Thank you for everything you do in the garden world. And thank you for sharing your story. I look forward to your next chapter in life. When you said you were going to move I was hoping it would be to SE Wisconsin where I live. It was snowing earlier today and so I’m hoping my daffodils will enjoy the white blanket before they decide to bloom. But I’m sure you are anxious to get back to your roots of Texas and learn about how to garden in a whole new zone. It will be fun to watch how it works for you. God bless you and thank you for your service and your career in the military.
I sure miss you guys, but I’m going nowhere and I’ll be praying for you both and your family 🙏🏼. My parents and grandparents were from San Antonio too which put a smile on my heart knowing your headed that way. I’m in Oregon born and raised, so one day I would love to at least visit Texas. Stay strong and God Bless.
I am so sorry about your bad experience with your neighbor, but thank God you have better days ahead, and I pray that your move to Texas will be one filled with joy and blessings!
Hi!!! I actually remember the neighbor and dog thing from a few years ago. I remember thinking how hard the toxicity of the neighbor being hard for all of you, but I think I personally worried the most for Angelina. I also remember praying. God knows what He's doing, but I am so you had to go through that. But hey! Life continues on in the most wonderful of ways. Texas huh? My son and family were stationed in Dan Antonio the last 4 years of his ARMY career. They loved it. My brother and his family enjoyed the Dallas area. You'll be living where you can garden to your hearts content, and it will be glorious
I am so sorry you had to deal with this! It hurts to watch you loose your joy while doing what brings you joy. I hope you find joy, peace, and blessings in the days , weeks, and months ahead. WELCOME BACK TO TEXAS!!! We'll keep the light on for you! Hugs and ❤️ to you and your family 😍😍😍😍 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Ambrose and Angie so excited y’all are coming back to Texas! Congrats on retirement. Thank you for your service to our country. We’re in Arlington zone 8A. It’s been so challenging with intense heat, drought and now freezes! Can’t wait to see what y’all plant here. Don’t worry we will be here whenever you’re able to post a video. We think your college bound daughter should visit Texas A&M University in College Station. Our son is a graduate and the Aggie network is amazing!
I wish you had spoke up I was going through hell for 3vyears also I couldn't go out and garden without yelling or a very aggressive dog running when I finally called the sheriff they took the dog out and shot it I felt so bad But to make me pay even more they got the loudest barking dog and put it out all day you couldn't even open windows. I was so emotional and angry. My garden was my one joy in life. If someone knows your weakness they attact with that..I'm so sorry you had such a chunk of your life. Its not fair or morally right.Blessings for a future of calm and blooms.
Congratulations on retirement, moving and making a new beginning!!! Looking forward to seeing all your new plans and hearing about how you are doing! So happy for you!
Angie and Ambrose I am looking forward to your move here to Texas. I’m in Zone 9a Houston about 2-3 miles from Friendswood and Pearland. Have an amazing journey. Sending love to you and your family. ❤
Im so sorry this happened. Having bad neighbors definitely robs the joy of being at home. Glad to hear of your plans and I look forward to your future videos. I subscribed recently bc your love for your roses and gardening shines through 😊
Good morning ☕ I'm glad you guys are out the situation because it's so hard to going thru that please keep your self safe and we love you guys 💚 from c.c Texas 👩🏽🌾
Austin gets hot. A property with established trees something to consider for shade and wind breaks. Drip irrigation gets water to root balls, saves on water bills and waste. Best of luck on this next chapter, surrounded by great neighbors.🏡
Wishing your family safe travels and beautiful gardens in your future. Love you guys and have appreciated all your great info and gardening tips. I’m disappointed you’re not moving to my state zone 5. I could have stocked you up with plants from my garden 🪴 Take care and stay positive, you are beautiful and kind🍀
I came across your channel yesterday after buying some bare root DA roses. I love cottage/English gardens and yours is beautiful. ❤ I don’t have much space with good sun exposure, but I still try to grow roses. I have one DA climber (Wollerton Old Hall) and I look forward to the bloom every year. After watching a couple of your videos, I am wracking my brain to see where I can fit a Gertrude Jekyll in my garden. 🤣 Thanks for the growing and maintenance tips, especially for container gardening. Good luck with your move and I hope you have better neighbors in your new home (I am so sad for those poor dogs that are still stuck with those people 😡). Look forward to seeing how your plants do with the move (I killed my thriving Pat Austin last year trying to move it back a little and I am still devastated) and what you do with your new garden. In the meantime, I have all of your previous videos to watch and enjoy. :)
I've been watching your channel for a long time. Nice to see you more relaxed. I am glad for the positive changes in your life, and I look forward to coming along for the ride!
I absolutely loved your videos ..they made me happy and peaceful..don't stop..I love both of your personalities and I can feel ur love for gardening and each other..thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Thank you for this video. Also have a young adult son with autism (non-verbal). When I first leaned you were moving, I was hoping you were going to say, Colorado. 😁 Would have been great to see how you gardened with our climate here. However, I know you will continue to give us great Texas gardening videos.
Hello!! Lovely to see you both again, I missed your happiness 😊 I remember the horrible time you had with your neighbour, that’s so awful. What a negative experience. Well done for being brave and speaking up. Good luck with your new adventure back in Texas - a whole new exciting chapter ❤
thank you for your videos! your garden is beautiful and encourages me to do more in containers. I can't wait for your next adventure! sending you all LOVE!
Hello I missed you guys. So sorry about your neighbor but so happy to hear you are coming home. I am a Texan through and through. I was raised and lived in Fort Worth for years but now I live in the Houston area. I am excited to see if you can grow hydrangea because I have decided to give up on them. It is to hot and the droughts keep coming. I live in zone 9 and we have a very long hot and more hot growing season with water restrictions. But I still love it. I am in the process of changing my garden to a more water wise garden and still be beautiful. God bless you on your new journey. I am looking forward to gardening with you in your new home🥰
I so relate to your experience ,as I had to deal with it for 20 years and the beautiful garden I had created from the original barren back yard was no longer a safe space for me due to the constant and very petty harassment. Thankfully, they finally moved two years ago and as you mentioned the negative vibration in the air lifted and I was once again inspired to continue creating the beautiful garden that I had envisioned in my now peaceful space. Thank you so much for sharing as I always wondered was I the only person having this very negative experience with a neighbor.
Happy you no longer have to deal with such awful people. It is something unbelievable to think how negativity coming from someone affects others. I was in disbelief my self thought I was going crazy! That no one else could have it happening to them. A lot of people keep it to themselves they don’t want to be judged wrongly. But I think if one doesn’t speak out then those bad people get stronger and easier for them to continue to abuse of others. We feel the same way the air feels a lot more lighter happier! Big hugs going your way! Hope you are back enjoying your garden. 🤗🙏💐💚💚💚💚💚💚
Thanks for being so real. Thanks for sharing your struggles with us. This really helps me realize that having a RU-vid Channel is hard work. I’ve started and stopped my channel so many times for one reason or another. But ultimately I keep going ❤
Go Spurs Go! Good luck with this next season of your lives. Love your container garden. You’ve inspired me to expand my tiny garden with more containers.
Looking forward to following you anywhere in Texas, sad to here it won't be San Antonio welcome back! Happy retirement Ambrose, Angie can't wait to see your future garden.
Good things come to good people. I'm glad your negative neighbors are gone, they certainly didn't deserve having good people like you as neighbors. I feel like this year with your move and new things happening in your life you'll have wonderful new experiences to look forward to! I hope your daughter and all your kids look forward to happier good times ahead! God bless your family always.
Sorry that happened to you guys. You guys have a great channel and I’ve missed them. Great that your moving back home and I hope you have the garden of your dreams ! Good luck👍❤️
Oh wow! I’m so sorry you guys experienced that. I’m so happy to see you back! I’m in Round Rock, TX, zone 8b. I have lots of PW’s in my yard. The thing I’ve struggled with the most is hydrangeas. 😢I haven’t given up on them yet.
Hi I have 2 kids with autism and we went through a similar situation living in NJ 😑we decided to move to MT and it was the best decision 🙂 my children can have privacy and spend time outdoors 🙂 we feel free and happy here
Hugs to you and the family! My sister has a neighbor exactly like this. The crazy thing is this neighbor has been after every single person on their street! The whole street has been traumatized! Beating dogs, beating their children, spraying chemicals over the fence accusing my BIL of sexual harassment, even shooting out windows on cars. It’s crazy! The cops have been called multiple times and still it continues. It’s been ten years maybe more. I feel for you guys! We’ve been praying for these people to leave the neighborhood for years. So happy for your relief! 💗
I feel for you and your community. It’s sad how one person can cause such a negativity to so many. We also had the poison thrown to our plants to the point they killed their own grass. At the end these people are just destroying themselves. Wish you all the best. 🙏💐💚
Come out to Houston! Congratulations on your retirement, thank you for serving our country - and I applaud you for the persistence and commitment to standing up for what's right. It's so difficult at times, but you're encouraging others through sharing of this story.
I just found y’all. Sorry to hear about your situation. Hope things get settled soon and you can find your forever home. I’m in Texas. Trying to learn gardening Texas style lol. Soooo different from California but I’m having fun figuring it out. Thank you for the update. See ya soon 🌸
Hi! I really connected with your story about your neighbor. I had a VERY similar experience - which ultimately led to the fading of my successful RU-vid channel. I just couldn’t film with everything we were dealing with. It’s hard to begin again after so much time away.
First and most impotantly, Thank you for your service. Your channel and containers inspired me to get my little yard going her in Denver. I have 21 containers around the perimeter of my yard I have planted annuals, shrubs, perennials and I copied your north pole arborvitaes in containers. I'm looking forward to see your next garden in Texas. The hellebores next to Angie are gorgeous. I definitely want to add them to my garden this year.
Congratulations on Retirement!! My husband retired from the Army and retirement takes a while to adjust to. Take your time. Take your time. Take your time. It goes by fast, but with planning; you all will do great! I am excited for you and wish you many blessings for your future forever home and your family!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🪴🪴🪴
Thank you both for your service it’s a whole family thing even when it’s just one of us. Time definitely goes by fast and you are so right take our time plan good is the key. 🤗🙏💐💚💚💚💚💚💚
We lost our dear sweet neighbor a number of years ago and we've had 2 "pit" masters since. And I don't mean BBQ. Think dead tree dropping limbs over their yard, our yard, the other neighbor's yard. Then dog abuse, like you described. Not mowing their lawn much less doing any improvement. A privacy fence doesn't solve all the problems. With all of that plus my own aging and ill health, my vast flower borders have dribbled away to nothing. It's hurtful. Bless you and the kiddos. So looking forward to you finding your civilian hone and giving us both some new experiences.
I’m so happy for you guys and I’m positive your future is going to be wonderful. I’ll be watching for any videos you have in the future but also understand with so much going on you may not have them as often. Just take care of yourselves and your family and we will be here when your ready.😍
I’m so sorry you have horrible neighbors I purchased a new home in 2019 I had the same thing happen to us. We found out we had horrible neighbors we tried to sell our home beginning of this spring but could not find anything with privacy and a large lot. It’s been a nightmare we may try to sell next year. My garden and house projects have stopped. We have a son 12 who has suffered too bevause of this. I hope your new home has the peace and privacy you need. 🙏🏽
Hello, my name is Jean I live in the Oklahoma Panhandle USDA ZONE 6b,I'm so happy your back, WOW it sounds like you're family was in a nightmare, my husband was also in the Military (Air Force )retired after 20 yrs., while stationed in Germany we went through the same thing it was housing for Army, Air Force, more Army than Air Force and it was a mess neighbors were just awful. So I know what you went though. Can't wait for more videos. Have a great rest of the day.👋🙂
So sorry to hear what you guys had to deal with and glad it is over now. Congratulations on the retirement and moving back to your home state. I hope you guys enjoy making a new garden where you end up. It would be fun to watch. Best of luck with it all!
I am so sorry that you had to go through this. I have missed you and didn't know what had happened. Will look forward to seeing more of you once you move and get settled in your new place.
I had no idea you all were going through this. I love your videos and always was wondering why. I am so very sorry. Best of luck in your new home and location.
I understand my neighbor has finally stopped throwing his limbs in my yard I understand they come from my tree but they are in his yard, another thing is him mowing grass cutting towards my garden so everything flies my way even I be working in my garden he doesn't turn around because he doesn't want grass in his yard so this is for life cause I am not leaving I have put to much in my yard it just makes me plant more
It’s so good to see guys again. I’m so glad those neighbors are gone how awful all you’ve had to go through and your precious daughter, I know the challenges I have a 22 year old son with autism . I’m so excited to see what’s in your future garden and family.💗
We sure have missed you guys!!! So happy that you are finally able to breathe and relax again.....Good luck with your move and looking forward to more videos in the future when you get settled in your new home!!! You guys have really made me a fan of roses and I am just beginning to learn how to take care of some beautiful new climbing roses called "A Golden Opportunity" by Weeks roses. I just planted them this past spring and they are looking so beautiful already with all the new growth they are putting on. Can't wait to see them bloom!! Praying for you and your family as you move on to the next chapter of your lives and I'm sure your new garden will be absolutely fantastic!!
So sorry you guys went through what you had to go through. It can affect your life and health and mental well being dealing with people like your neighbor. Looking forward to following you again when you start up in Texas with a new way of gardening. I moved from MA to CA (zone 10 from a zone 6) and it has been hard for me to learn a new way of gardening. Sounds like I will be able to learn again from you two. Best of luck, hope the moves goes smoothly.
Thank you for speaking out. Definitely mental abuse. Also went through it the last 2 years. But over now. And feels like I'm starting my life over. Exciting times ahead for you. Love to enjoy the journey with your family 💓
I am so happy for your family!!! Are you planning to buy a home with acreage for gardening? Wish you were coming to North Carolina, just like Texas we love and support our veterans and their families. Looking forward to what is in store for your beautiful family.
Im so sorry you guys had to put up with all that and also I’m so happy for you guys that’s it’s over , and welcome back to Texas 🎉 , I for one think you should move to Houston Zone 9A 😊it’s 82 today and Ambrose our vegetable growing season is really long , but wherever you land I’ll be watching , I like your content 👍🏼
what an exciting and a bit stressful time for you both... i'm so sorry you had to deal with the situations you've had; it's a life lesson for sure though... i'm in socal, so zone 10b (altho i grew up just south of san antonio).. i try just about everything i see in my nursery and occasionally order some online (that gets expensive!).. for instance: heucheras... if you have an area that will get bright light but is mostly shade (or only morning sun), i think you'll be able to grow them.. they do fine for me in the shade but will turn very "crispy" in the sun (and they come back every year, lol)... not sure their cold tolerance but i know they come back in areas like zone 5, so i'd say go for it... and don't forget about succulents: most people associate those with xeriscape or desert type areas, but you'd be surprise how much color they can provide; they are easy to take care of so you can focus on those other areas that will require more attention, and they have beautiful blooms... i wish you a happy move, exciting times, and safe travels!! can't wait to see your new place; take all the time you need.. we fans will still be here!! 🥰🥰🥰
Love your videos.. can't wait to see the transition... you both and your wonderful family really kept many of us uplifted during COVID-19. Stay beautiful best wishes and prayers for the future...
I FEEL SO BAD AND SO SAD FOR YOU GUYS, AND THE DOGS!!!!!!! I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND, I THINK WE ALL HAVE PEOPLE IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ARE LIKE THAT, I PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THIS FOR YEARS, IT HAS GOTTEN A BIT BETTER BUT NOT ENOUGH, I AM TRULY TRYING TO ENDURE, BUT IT IS NOT EASY!!!!! PEOPLE DONOT HAVE LOVE, THE BIBLE PROPHESIED THIS IN THE LAST DAYS!!!!!!! BUT TAKE COURAGE IT WILL PAST!!!!!! TEXAS.??!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS WONDERFUL, WHEW!!!!!!!!! I AM SO GLAD TO HEAR YOU ARE STILL GOING TO BE GARDENING!!!!!!! GARDENING IS SO GOOD SO WONDERFUL SO HEALTHY FOR ALL OF US!!!!!!!!! JUST TAKE YOUR TIME AND PLEASE 🙏 PLEASE 🙏 KEEP US POSTED I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH YOU MAKE US SO HAPPY 😁 I PRAY PEACE AND JOY FOLLOW YOU AND TAKE HOLD OF YOU AND PLEASE 🙏 TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!
