I can not imagine Tracy feeling unhappy about any chore she tackles! She thrives on seeing productive jobs being completed. She strikes me as someone who loves a challenge, and who loves to learn new skills ( as her diverse abilities have demonstrated). Pride in a job well done is why this family has accomplished so many of their dreams to date. No job is too hard when you love what you do. Cheers to you all (including volunteer family and friends) 👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗🥰

Anyone who thinks Tracey would be forced to do anything must not of been watching since the beginning! She ENJOYS the work! Have you ever seen her without a smile during a project? Even taking the plaster off of the cottage chimney after she said she wasn’t getting into it! Now it’s beautiful

Ash’s excitement makes me happy! Everybody is waiting patiently for the results of all your hard work.❤

Tracey is an inspiration for older women, with her no-nonsense, can-do attitude. She is also smart to work hard and keep fit. Older age does not mean we should slack off, rather just know our capabilities and push hard sometimes to keep the heart and body working well into older age. All those beautiful French pastries go straight to the waistline otherwise and excess carbs are deadly. Fitness is key to good health. Good on you Tracey.

What a wonderful example of a loving supportive family all working together for the greater good for another family member. Cheers 🍻

Two suggestions for weeding rocky areas (that we have used successfully), burn the weeds off with a torch, or, spray a strong vinegar with water solution on the weeds. So much easier than handpicking weeds successfully (actually pulling the roots also).

Such a beautiful little boy. Looks like Terry so much 😍😍😍

As a mom who works supporting her son in a company he founded, I love to watch Tracy support Terry (and Ash) in bringing his dream to life. Love to see the garden coming together! If I may suggest, for weeds coming up through gravel where you don't want them, spray with horticultural vinegar and let them die over a few days before pulling.

you might want to look at renting, buying, or borrowing a motorized wheel barrel. They are about the size of a regular wheel barrel, but the bucket is much bigger, and you can move much heavier loads. It would be great for the gravel as well as the plants and soil you'll be working on in the future. Dan, another Château restorer, uses one at his Château for a lot of his work.

Tracy, you can kill the smaller weeds with a mixture of 1 Gallon Vinegar, 1 cup of salt and 2 tsp of blue Dawn dish soap. Spray with a pump sprayer. Works very well. Be careful around your good plants. You can always put an open box over the good plants and spray around.

Well done to everone for all you hard work and amazing stamina. This property will bring in admires from all over the world to admire the tremendous work ackompished. The gardens will add such beauty to an already beautiful building. You can be expremely proud of yourselves.

Hi Ash, Tracy and Terry, first of all as Ash said, nobody makes Tracy do anything. You all have come so far because of your love for each other and the love of your homes (Chateau & Cottage.) You are an amazing family and an amazing team. The walled garden is massive and beautiful, it is going to be breathtaking when it's finished. Thanks to all the family and volunteers coming out to help. Happy birthday Jonathan, ENJOY everyone, a well-deserved celebration. Love from N.Y.

Tracey's a no nonsense northern lass - she does what she wants 😊 That garden is such a huge project and you're doing fantastic! Hope Johnathon had an amazing birthday 🎂

It only seems like yesterday the whole family was digging up stumps and dragging chains behind the tractor. It is transformed. I can only imagine the beauty that the addition of plants will make. Just fabulous!

Oh my goodness. The only thing that comes across to me is your amazing work ethic and just wonderful family dynamics!❤️❤️❤️

I just love all the Patrick cameos (such a happy boy drinking the puddles and sleeping on the job ❤)

I was watching the Bridgerton Season 3 here last night in Los Angeles USA. When I saw the Gardens in the background, I thought of yours. I can't wait to see the finished garden. It's good to see Patrick working alongside you all.

Ash you are a very loving member of the family. It comes across clearly that you all love each other and take care of each other, while working hard, having fun, laughing and genuinely care for each other’s wellbeing. xx

The wall behind Ash when the vlog was about 1 minute in looked like it had 3 or 4 arch shaped discoloration in it. Had it been arched at one time and filled in? On another note, your viewers are in constant awe and amazement of your many talents. It's been mentioned before, but Ash, your narrations are nothing short of a professional story teller or narrator. Your enthusiasm for the work or seeing Terry's vision coming to life, a sponsored products abilities, whatever is fantastic. You make us all want to be there to see it in person and celebrate it with you. People comment on Stephanie Jarvis's narrations. She has nothing on you. Well done! But what comes through every vlog is just the pure joy and goodness of all of you and your gratitude of what is happening. I think the last is the key. Yes, you all work unbelievably hard. But you don't brag. You don't complain. You just share what it is and how grateful you are to be a part of it.

That’s nice that you felt the need to reassure that no one was ‘making’ Tracey do anything. It has never appeared to me to be the case. As you said, everyone does what they can, based on their skill set and as time goes by you are all settling into grooves a ls to who will do what. It’s always been clear to me this is a team who are all invested. Well done.

I remember my first house it took a couple of year's to save for our DIY landscaping project's but we did it ourselves. We put up a fence and stained it and did sprinkle system and a little pond with running water falls. We planted the grass and everything! When it was done we sat on our patio and drank some sparkling wine and celebrated! It took us from March to September 7 months to finish! Record time for Fall/Winter to set in. But our yard came in beautiful in early spring the next year..."WOW!"
