LETS TOUR OUR ENTIRE PROPERTY! FLOWER TOUR | Spring 2024 

you could give us 8 1-hour long videos about the greenhouse and i would gobble them up bestie

This video speaks to my soul! My grandparents were green thumbs and I my mother is still. Their yards were gorgeous and there is nothing I aspire to more than to be that little old lady that walks around her yard telling whoever who will listen to the stories about her plants and flowers. ❤

It’s crazy to me that someday when your son is grown, he’ll look back lovingly and say, “my parents had such a green thumb and a love of nature”. I feel that way about my dad, and someday that’ll be you!

I love how you give all the examples of when it's fully grown I can only imagine the pink trees flowing over your front porch how beautiful

As someone who can’t keep a plant alive, I am in awe!!

Kristi, you and Zack have done SUCH an amazing job on your property. I have been following this and your beauty channel since the very beginning and it has been so cool to watch your family grow, and see you two blossom (pun intended) in life! I love everything that you share and haven’t missed a single video! I’ll be here watching and living vicariously through you as long as you’re still posting!! Thank you for putting a bit of your lives out there and sharing with us 🥰

Your property, the buildings and land are all just so lovely. Talk about dream home! You guys have done a spectacular job! love, love, love.

I truly cannot believe how far you guys have come since you first bought this property. I feel so lucky to be able to watch your dream come to life. Fantastic job guys🥹💕

Walking with you thru this beauty and also walking with my deceased paternal grandmother. She had beautiful peonies, lily of the valley, roses and rhododendron. Then the vegetable and fruit gardens. I used to cut a stalk of rhubarb, grab the salt shaker, sit on her porch swing and eat that delicious, sour rhubarb!! Those were the days! 😢

The way I celebrated with you when you saw that open peony!! Your property is so beautiful, congratulations on making it your own! 💜

The amount of bees in this video brought me so much joy! Your property is what dreams are made of! 🐝❤️🌱

It’s life giving to watch you guys cultivate good things in that space. Nothing quite like loving something into its most beautiful, full, fruitful state over time. What a reward and legacy. A lost art. I love these. ❤️

You are living my dream! I absolutely adore your property!

As someone with a little experience with peonies... I had a little chuckle when she told the ant to get out 🤭

Shaking is fine, stop apologizing😊 Beautiful property, seams so peacefull.

It's beautiful❤ I love the gazebo & all the flowers around it. I'm also a big fan of roses 🌿🌹🌿

KRISTI!!!! In 5 years your home is going to be freaking phenomenal with all the perennials ❤OMG!! Please update all of this in 5 years! This video is saving me from crippling anxiety today! Thank you a million times!

What a gorgeous life you’ve built for your family and your community to enjoy ❤

Kristy you unlocked a new obsession I didn’t even know I had! I’m obsessed with Peony! That cutie white peony that u have is sooo beautiful. Your whole yard is absolutely stunning. I’m impressed you remember all the names of everything too

I’m literally crying because I love this so much, your property is so beautiful 🥹

I enjoy this content these days, I had my second child 2 months ago and been feeling down lately, but hearing your passion in this video helps me through this challenging time. You do great work in the world, thank you ❤

I love it! Yall are awesome and too fun to watch...I came over from RBK because dammit! Makeup and gardening?? It's like you're my soul sistah 😂

I haven’t watched youtube for a while and I got the notification of your pond video.. and now I’m on a marathon of catching up on your videos that I’ve missed. I haven’t realized how much I MISSED watching you guys. So much has changed with your property and it’s so amazing!!!!!! It looks so gorgeous and I love to feel like I’m catching up with old friends almost lol

Love the beautiful little world you've created for yourself and your family!

I love the flowers. Please plant some tall bearded Iris in front of your allium and you will not be disappointed. They are beautiful and have every color of the rainbow. Please do weekly or biweekly tours so that we can see the growth and blooms of everything, I’m in Tennessee and have many plants but mostly Iris mad other perennials because annuals have to be replanted every year. Like you I love fuschia and they are amazing

That little ant is the reason your peony opened 💚

Stunnnnning. Hoping my yard can someday look this beautiful. I haven’t landscaped a bit since we moved in 4 years ago but plan to start next summer. If you could choose your top 5 perennials to landscape front garden beds with, what would you choose? I’d love some suggestions!

You can easily save pansy/viola seeds and you’ll never have to buy any. They also readily self seed as long as you don’t deadhead all the spent blooms👍 Love seeing your garden. Gardening is my passion and I love seeing what other gardeners do in their spaces ❤️

Peonies and Ranunculus are my absolute favorite flowers!!!! How exciting

I literally could watch another hour of this

Your yard is so gorgeous! Well done!❤🍃🌹🍃

I love the squirrels helping plant 😂

Gorgeous, Kristi, love everything you & Zack have done! Please do a video on your greenhouse, it's dreamy!!

I turned 46 this year and suddenly every plant I buy lived and flourishes lol before then, I couldn’t keep a plant alive at all! Now I find these vids so fun!! Show us your greenhouse!

I'm obsessed with this content! More flowers and garden tours!

Your style of home / land is such a dream!! That’s my end goal. Happy for you guys :) Would love to see an updated home tour / before & afters. They’re the best ♥️

I have gotten into a "rut" with the flowers I plant....so your videos have made me want to expand my flower garden! Especially with wild flowers. We have let our one acre yard go natural, and hopefully we will be adding more clover seeds to it. We have so many happy bees, which makes us happier than having a fully manicured lawn!! Right now our hydrangeas are blooming like crazy, so I have vases of them all over the house. It is amazing to be part of your journey with your homestead!! (LOVE long videos!!)🌻🥀

Omg I love how far you have come from the days of trying to grow stuff in pots at your old house to all the thing you talked about coming true. I feel like a proud mama. ❤ it's beautiful you sweet human you.

Kristi, it is so wonderful to see you so happy 🥲 everything looks absolutely beautiful

I’m a florist and I support this message ❤ love that you have put so much time and energy into making your property beautiful and full of life🌷

Ahhhh I've been hoping you would do a whole video of this! So excited to watch!!!

Absolutely interested in the green house video!!

This video is helping me thru my Australian winter bluesssss. So many flowers and so many bees ❤

I could hear you talk about you garden for days, you've done a spectacular job!

Thank you for sharing this with us

Straight up Garden Answer vibes. I loved every minute of it. Well done RBK!

I LOVED this! I can’t wait to see the progress, it’s going to be a fairytale 🤩

FROG HOTEL?? 😱😭💚

I hope you keep sharing these long form property tours! I love them so much. Everything is so beautiful, you quite literally have my dream property and the gardens just make it that much better. So lovely

I absolutely LOVE all that you both have done and getting to share it with your community: pure JOY. It is such a blessing to get to see the work and results of YEARS of figuring things out and determining who you are and want to be. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Truly lovely!!! 💖✨🙏🏻

Just sat down to eat lunch. After work, I'm planting flowers! Perfect timing. I love seeing your property! It's gorgeous!

I love your love for plants and how hyped you get looking at them😊 same same

That small chicken coop would come in handy if you have to quarantine a chicken that is injured or is sick. I loved the tour. Gave me so many ideas!

Fill up your cup of happiness 🤗, you have both accomplished so much since moving to the property. I’m totally in love with the greenhouse so yes please show the building project. The hobbit shed is gorgeous and you will fit the stones when you have the energy and time. I don’t remember seeing the seating area before it complements all your other parts beautifully and wonderful that so many get to enjoy your land. Your smile is captivating and you both are my favourite couple on RU-vid. Xx plus the little guy🥰 off course x

This is the first time I’ve seen your green house and wtf, that is the most magical thing ever!!!

Yes yes yes on the greenhouse process and tour! It’s so beautiful, it deserves its own video! 💜🌼🌸

My friend Melissa picked me a bouquet of peonies for my birthday on the 28th. They stayed fresh for so long. Beautiful!❤

I wish I had a green thumb like you! Your garden is a dream!❤

We need a weekly update for veggie and flowers for summer til end of season. It’s epic! I love that you are sharing this gorgeous property and have developed it so beautifully and abundantly. The school site is a perfect idea also with the pavilion. Love it. It’s such a healthy thing to garden and try new flowers and veggies each year. I have never grown fruit trees so find it interesting to see what you are growing and how you prune and all. I know here people start covering their fruiting tree’s fruit at some point to protect from insects. Not sure if the big bear isn’t going to put in a lawn chair and wait for things to ripen though. The blueberry farm I used to pick from in Duvall used to go out and check for bears and ring a big cow bell to help scare them away. I don’t know if it worked but you might want to make it a habit in fruit season. I love violas also and they grow really well from seeds. You will have a ton easily. I grew the good old Johnny jump ups and they grew easily. Another one that’s got pretty folliage is Nigella aka love in a mist I think it’s called. It has really pretty folliage and I just read the seeds are called black cumin and also are used for a number of medicinal uses so you may want to add it to your medicinal garden bed. Another cool one visually is cupcake cosmos. They grow a cup on the outer rim and a flower inside the cup and some will grow just the cup. I got mine from Ed Humes at good old fred meyers. They bloom in hot weather later like maybe august and are maybe two to three feet tall. They look like fairy cupcake wrappers. I was happy to see you are growing dill and suggest lemon thyme if you can locate some starts now. They are really great in meals. Do you have any cherry tomatoes for your little dude to enjoy? I’m sure you do but can’t remember. Loving the many spread around strawberries and the high variety of flowers. The peonies are gorgeous. Wait til you see the dahlias if you are growing then. If not def get some dinner plate dahlias and be prepared to be amused. Another summer liner flower for the driveway would be a line of the mammoth sunflowers. One farm i visited had a whole big wall of them , a dahlia garden with a variety of them plus veggies and fruits. Another one for herb garden if you don’t have them is chives and spring onions. Can’t remember if you had them. The roses also I’ve never grown and I bet they are amazing and will be prolific on your property. Have you considered or do you have some flower boxes for the exteriors of your home like the mountain chalets have? Ohhh one more that’s good for shade is some bleeding hearts. They come up annually, do their thing and then die back and come back in the spring. They are cute and come in I think white, pink and maybe red. I always grow fuschias and missed the window of growing them this year so bummed bc I have a ton of hummers here. I grabbed some petunias bc they like them also. I guess with the bears you can’t keep seed filled bird feeders out but I figured that’s how the squirrels planted your sunflowers all over. They do that here also. I always let the squirrel planted sunflowers grow if they are in a good spot. I love those purple spilling over rocks flowers and really love the wood garden with Irish moss and various flowers. I super love the nw flower and garden show. The classes they do are super cool also. I took one given by the Xerces people who spoke about pollinator support and some really interesting topics. Check them out here: xerces.org Another east easy one to grow is nasturtium and they self seed or you can collect seeds and make “poor man’s capers” by pickling their seeds. I’ve never tried it and know you aren’t poor lol but something to experiment with. It’s fun to collect audible flower petals to add to your salad in summer. It elevates the visual presentation and fun to see what mixes you can come up with. I’m super excited to know someone who shares my love of gardening here and who has a nice big lush property to garden and try out all the flowers and herbs and veggies. Oh and for dill there are two main kinds I grow. One is the big one that grows tall and used more for the heads for pickling. I think called mammoth or something and then the fernleaf dill is good for chop it into salads and such. It grows more of the fine leaves and much smaller of a plant. And loving that you installed the greens for the chickens and they have flowers around their coop. Very charming. Make sure to keep them super safe. Not sure if it was you guys or someone else but the predators out there are very real and strong and sneaky. Your son is going to inherit a gorgeous property one day. You could rent your space out for weddings even if you installed some public toilets and bought or had rented chairs and tables. I visited the woodinville lavender farm back in the day and they also did weddings, classes, and had a little store with books and cookbooks, many lavender things like lavender spice mix and sachets and bulk lav. They even had a whole open but covered drying rack space to dry it. In the class we made a bruschetta with garlic and lavender spice mix mixed in with the fresh tomatoes. It was so easy and yummy. I will see if I can find the recipe or the book the blend is in. Here ya go for the book. The blend is in here: Discover Cooking with Lavender a.co/d/ejs2R6Z And last one I don’t know if you have seen in person but is a great vining woody plant over time is passion flower. The flowers look insane. Lastly you need a lemon tree to keep outside in summer and in the green house in winter. Also a kumquat or calamondin tree. I have an epic cake recipe for those and supposedly you can eat the little mini oranges skin on. Sooo much fun. And any sign of mushrooms from the wood plug mushrooms? I grew some oyster mushrooms in my house. You can get some hanging bags and grow them in hung up bags with slits in them. There’s a cool mushroom place in I think Snoqualmie. Let me find a link. www.snovalleymushrooms.com/shop Find the locals to buy the spores from if possible. People in my neighborhood are big rose enthusiasts. I’ve never done them but they photo some amazing displays. Oh another popular bed filler here is crocosmania orange lily flowers. And did you plant echinacea for the medicinal garden? Check out mullein’s medicinal properties for lung issues and tincture making. I wanted to grow Arnica and make my own pain medicine but don’t have room anymore. Sooo I’m living vicariously thru you guys. I love allll the wood buildings and the style of your hobbit home. It’s coming together so nicely. Did the Irish moss not do as well in your front walkway? Is there one that did and takes a beating from feet? This was so fun. Yours and Zach’s. I don’t have a car but wish you would someday do a property tour in person! Take care of yourselves and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Xo from Amy in Issaquah.

It's just beautiful, Kristi. Gorgeous.

Amazing to see how much you guys have transformed your property since you first moved in. Love your style of gardening and how everything just looks like it’s naturally grown there. Perfect blend of wild and natural with a little structure. So so beautiful ❤

Love this video!!! I have a request; once this seasons edible crops come in can we get an in depth video on the freezer dryer y'all got? I know you briefly covered it after y'all got it but I'm really wanting an in depth if you're willing. Editing to add that YES to Cosmic crisp apples ❤️❤️❤️ hands down the BEST apple to EVER exist!

I love your garden. It’s stunning. I can’t wait to see u building the Frog hotel. I get little frogs in my yard, sometimes they jump into the house. I love them 😍🐸

Haven’t even gotten to the pretty flowers yet, but your hair looks super cute pulled up like that in a cap! ETA: ok, also your pure utter joy that is spilling over while you talk about your garden. Love this content! (City girl living vicariously through you)

LOVVVE!! Lawdy, it would probably take me this long to cover all of my plants & flowers around my 50 acres - (which by the way, those of us who share your plant fever totally understand it’s ever-evolving, and hard work!) But girl. You’ve given me so many ideas in just this one video! Love it so much. 👏👏👏

i love the idea of making a flower bed with tree branches! i had a tree that fell over and had to chopped down unfortunately from a storm last season and we kinda have had the piles of wood just in a huge pile unsure what to do. maybe i’ll make a nice lil garden bed where the tree was standing!! ty for the idea

Viola’s are gorgeous! Every time I watch your videos, I tell my husband we’re moving to Washington! I love your garden!

Yes to greenhouse video Kristi! 😁👍

It's absolutely beautiful!! Just breathtaking!!

I love how some plants are manifestations in Holland where I’m from, especially raspberry haha

Your yard is a dream! Omg I would love to have this in our backyard I’m just not much of a plant mama lol. One day y’all, one day! 😭

Absolutely LOVED this video, thank you for sharing your amazing garden xx

I landscape on vancouver island (so same zone and similar weather) and virtually all the camillias are kicking the bucket because of the colder winters and hotter summers. It's super rare to see a nice healthy camillia nowadays so don't take it too personally! Could try a more sheltered place or try wrapping in burlap (like a cedar) over the winter, might help. Looks so lovely I adore the bed around the chicken coop!!

Beautiful yard & herbs!! I just planted some chamomile and I can't wait for it to get bigger so I can make tea. I live in NJ and have a neighbor who enjoys cutting our lawn and plants if we don't do it fast enough. lol So I love the wildflower area!!

Beautiful natural looking garden, Its the bees knees.

Yes cosmic crisp apples are the best! Also if you pre cut them they don’t brown! They’re truly my favorite as well! Love this video! Can’t wait to see the progress!

Adore this channel

Looks absolutely stunning!!! Just wow!!!

So pretty. I'm loving all the roses. The deer are devouring my roses. 😢
