A Texas Summer Garden Tour

Today we'll tour my neighbor's beautiful Texas Tough Garden. Paul is so knowledgable about the right native and adapted plants for our challenging growing conditions.

He has such a beautiful front garden! I like his anecdote on growing watermelon as a child🍉 very sweet memory. I’m super curious how that magnolia will fair over the summer.😮 can we get an update later in the season?

[@therockyhillgardener]

He does have a beautiful yard. Yes, we'll keep you updated on the Magnolia.

[@gritandGracegardening]

I think I took screenshots of almost everything. Lol… That Desert Willow and Magnolia are amazing!! Can’t wait to see how the Magnolia rebounds. Nature is beautiful!!

[@therockyhillgardener]

His garden is beautiful. Good idea to take screenshots for future use at the nursery!

[@jacblake1011]

Great video, I really enjoyed the tour!

[@therockyhillgardener]

His a wonderful gardener!

[@schoolell9886]

Just got an Esperanza at HEB today for $5 in the sale section and planted it this evening:) nice to see in the video how beautiful it may turn out

[@therockyhillgardener]

That is awesome! Keep it well watered during our high heat.

[@lanastewart7310]

What a beautiful yard! The Desert Willow is gorgeous! Love all of the pollinator plants! Thank you for sharing God’s beautiful creation!

[@therockyhillgardener]

You're welcome! Paul is a fine gardener!

[@jerryhernandez1164]

Love it. It's hard to find a nice Texas drought-tolerant garden. I'm copying some of these ideas.

[@therockyhillgardener]

Wonderful! Everything I plant must be drought tolerant!

[@lindakalinec973]

👏❤️👏❤️👏👍👍👍❤️

[@therockyhillgardener]

He has a green thumb!

[@danathomas9763]

On the crepe myrtles…there are several different varieties-some tall tree types, some medium shrub types and some dwarfs. It is best to research and get the correct one for your application instead say trying to keep one like a Natchez that wants to be 20ft in a shrub form. Just want to save your viewers some heartache/frustration.😊

[@angietoscano103]

I just stumbled on to your channel. I love it. I'm a San Antonio gardener...just south of you, but we have the same garden issues.

[@therockyhillgardener]

So glad you found me. Keep watching for more great ideas for our challenging gardens.

[@RedCoin91]

Very nice garden, good choices😊

[@therockyhillgardener]

Yes, He knows what he's doing in the garden!

[@melissanickelson3709]

Great tour! What zone are you in? You have some beautiful blooming plants, shrubs, and trees for an arid climate. Have you seen lantana grown into a standard (tree)? They are so beautiful and a fun project to try. I garden in zone 6a…going to see if Esperanza, and the Mexican willow (?) would grow this far north. Thanks for sharing your lovely yard!

[@therockyhillgardener]

I'm in Zone 8b. So glad you watched today.

[@lindakalinec973]

[@therockyhillgardener]

Glad you enjoyed his tour!

[@SouthallTN]

Beautiful examples! I love your commitment to saving the magnolia. I was thinking of trying my luck with fairy blush & little gems but I’m not sure if the deer will be interested

[@therockyhillgardener]

They might be. Deer are definitely a challenge.

[@New-Hat-Gardening]

My garden is available if you’d like to video a tour. Happy to have you come out to Cedar Park ❤

[@therockyhillgardener]

Isn't it beautiful! He does an amazing job.
