2024 Late Winter/Early Spring Clean Up

[@peggystauffer5052]

Thank you. So good to see you back in the garden. I love your rusty, quirky garden. So soothing to watch you work.

[@JoannGardner-w8r]

Just started to watch you today, I love it, you plant like me, I will go to clearance rack in a heart beat. Anywhere I can dig I will plant. Love your you tube will be watching, Midlothian tx.

[@shawnjones1483]

Missed your channel posts. Here we go…gardening 2024!

[@jessiekidwell670]

Love it! You said “therapeutical” again! I say you own the new catchphrase! Someone else on a rescue animal page says: “It’s always funner and gooder when you’re with friends!”. Haha love it You have no idea how much confidence you have given with your channel! The fact that you had an empty lot of grass and made this Alice in Wonderland dreamscape just has me so encouraged to start doing something!!

[@bethchadwickmoss5596]

Yay, I am so excited you are back! I am curious to see what you build with the wood crates. In one of your videos, will you talk about bird baths and how you choose the best ones and how you care for them. Your videos have made me want to buy a bird bath.

[@debbyfletcher2941]

Glad you’re back for the new season. I’ve finally got hubby on broad to work on our fenced area to be more like yours. Hiding the view of a major road and neighbors. Plus allowing our dogs to have an area to romp. It’s slowly coming along. Thank you for the inspiration and just being real.🌻🌻🌻

[@taarna11]

Yay, the channel is back! I can't wait to see how the garden transforms and what you will come up with to replace the gazebo. Welcome back!

[@jessiekidwell670]

I found his channel and subscribed to this/followed on Instagram literally yesterday and THIS is the biggest inspiration I’ve gotten so far out of allll the gardening channels. It’s the fact that it’s this manly dude who just happened to create this enchanted garden and has no background in it. He said “Shoot your shot!” And it really has me feeling challenged and excited to just go for it more than I have been previously!

[@vickiesecary7939]

I enjoyed watching you in the garden today. Thanks for sharing it with us! I live in Denver and I’m afraid to get serious and cut back more in the garden. I do most of my cut back in fall, though. So other than sedum and lambs ear and a couple others I don’t have a lot to do. I’m so looking forward to the garden waking up! Gardening is my happy place! PS: just a side note for you. Don’t mean to be negative but there’s no such word as ‘therapeutical’. Just fyi…..no disrespect meant! ☺️😃🌻🌺🦩

[@dianetemple4243]

My fav plants to cut back are my panicle hydrangea. Welcome back. You were missed.

[@Mary-d7u8l]

So wonderful to see you and the garden in winter. Can’t wait to see your garden in spring!

[@CarolynRedpath]

So happy to see you’re back into your garden! I love your channel🌞🎈

[@hasmitapatel3646]

Welcome back. Looking forward to your creative gardening again.

[@diannesteele1343]

Looking forward to your garden this year@

[@clairebucknell8666]

Missed this channel!! Can’t wait for you to inspire me again 🌷💞

[@judyanderson8782]

I agree. I've missed Mike's gardening inspirations. He's the reason we put in a huge flower bed. What a lot of work, but well worth it. Go Mike!

[@yeye3295]

Welcome to spring of 2024!!

[@deannahaworth7666]

Nice to see you back !

[@MrBonsaibeginnings]

Great to see you back hope you had a nice winter. I'm in zone 6 and can't wait to get out and clean up my garden. I'll be watching your vedios 2024

[@kathyarbour]

Love your garden and I know that feeling of joy when in the garden. I like cut back and rake out the garden waste on to the lawn and then use my mulching lawnmower to grind it up and then put it back in the garden. It helps with mulching and feeding the garden. Happy gardening!

[@patwebb6522]

Looking forward to seeing all your new plans for your garden it will be exciting 😊

[@hs5911]

Glad to see you back. Very inspirational

[@07baileyt]

Welcome back, your very inspirational.

[@ptwnbratche]

I Also love this time of year - today I saw tulips coming back from dormancy. Massachusetts zone 7b Welcome back :)

[@JDubKillinKicks]

Welcome back! Can’t wait to see what goes in the Gazebo’s space.

[@ineedmickey5170]

Can’t wait to see what happens this season. So sorry for your loss with Bella… Any tips or tricks to keep your 4 legged family members from doing any damage to your spring plants that will soon be popping up? We have a new Aussie puppy that looooves to be outside with me😂 Cant wait to see what you did with the hose! Totally agree, gardening is the best therapy.

[@realitycheck723]

It’s always a sad time when our pets pass away. I believe we will see them again in heaven. Bless your family. I am also anxious to start gardening here in Harvest AL (near Huntsville). I am growing seedlings now for vegetables we can’t buy here in AL. I planted an Eastern Redbud and will keep my fingers crossed. ❤ A video tour of your yard is just as inspirational as a tour in person. 😊

[@judyanderson8782]

Last year my husband ventured into our woods and dug up a redbud tree, we planted in our new flower bed, but it died. Redbuds are so pretty. I guess we'll have to buy one Hope yours makes it.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Lovely seeing you again 🪴 great clean up 😀

[@KristiB73]

Glad you're back at it!!!🤗💙⚘

[@tonyagissendaner2795]

Glad you’re back! I’ve started cleaning up as well. I work in commercial insurance and wanted to let you know that you can call take out a Special Event policy that would provide liability coverage for your garden tour. It only covers the date of the event. The premium would be minimal but would give you peace of mind.

[@katherineridings7937]

Good to have you back!

[@mikemcminn9821]

Welcome back! Looking forward to seeing your projects this year! Good luck i know it will be great!

[@Amy1437]

[@bubbles6124]

You may not be a landscaper, but you are an artist. Glad to see you back posting. Looking forward to your future projects

[@lydiarivera-pl9by]

Ugh sorry about the fish. I know what that feels like. I’ve sent plenty of fish to heaven topping off and forgetting to turn the hose off. Now I only have one true solider left. Looking forward to your garden waking up soon. Inspired by your planting combinations.

[@reddog40]

Sorry for your loss🙏 Great drone footage.I do the same thing also the leaves and foliage gives nutrients in the beds I'm going to get outside and put my new patio rug down and work on the pots in patio area.Still behind on my roses 😂But I know they'll be fine in my zone.Happy 2024 Garden Tyme!🕊️💚🇺🇸

[@alysonmiller8420]

So happy to see your garden again! We had some heron come in and take our Koi. I actually caught one of them with one in its beak. So I understand your loss. Bless you that you tried and sorry of the outcome. I’ve been looking forward to seeing your videos again, so excited 👍

I've always wanted one but that is my reason for pause & snakes too. I am in such awe of your garden😍. I love all of the whimsy,creativity and structure of it all. HAPPY GARDENING & thx for sharing how you get your gardening season going & growing.

[@Ewew23]

Glad to see your back at it , so sorry for the loss of your Bella and your fish That is really hard , looking forward to see what you will be doing with the wooden crates

[@tamathagreen8574]

very cool love it!!!!

[@ilnpa2722]

SO GLAD YOURE BACK!! So sorry for your loss. I also lost my beloved two basenji dogs within one year. 🐕 ❤🐕

[@crochet7169]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheEnthusiasticGardener]

Hey there Mike, just wanted to say I’m sorry to hear about Bella and I know just how you feel because we lost Lucy last weekend after 11 years of love from her. It’s hard isn’t it? Sorry about your fish too, very sad to hear that. Anyway, I loved your intro with the drone footage, that was great. Look forward to seeing what you do with the gazebo area. Good lunch with all your clean up 🩷

[@moxiegardens8033]

Thank you and so sorry to hear about Lucy. I hope your husband’s health is improving. Good to hear from you.

[@irmamarquez1319]

👍🏼💓💓💓🙏🏼

[@judyanderson8782]

Boy have I missed your garden videos! You have the prettiest garden on the internet. But I hate you. You inspired me to make a flower garden. My husband got a new tractor so he torn up the whole front yard for my flower bed. That's over 200ft. Do you know how much we spent on flowers and shrubs? Of course you don't cause I don't want to know either. Anyway it's coming along. I'm sorry about your fish and dog. It rips your heart out. Oh, you can pull those dead sticks out of the sedum, they'll release. Glad your back!

[@terriejohnson4884]

Hi Mike, I'm glad I found your page again, so how I got kicked off. Sorry to hear about Bella. I remember you using a lot of top soil in your garden. Do you add the top soil after you clean up the garden, or do you use compost/mulch?

[@LindaSilber]

I have a question about the bags you use. How do they hold up to the rain before they get picked up? I would like to get away from the plastic bag I currently use. Thanks.

[@nexingtoncaldwell6381]

Did you use the drone to layout your garden or was it designed simply on impulse.
