It's so crazy that the first thing you said was that you're not here to teach. I've been looking at all of these so-called professional videos looking for time lapse growing results, and you were the only person who gave me what I was looking for. Thank you so much!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words.

[@MichelleBulldogMom]

You were right. Today is the day and now I'm a subscriber 😂. I just discovered your channel while looking into boxwood inspiration for my garden and this video came up. Love how you showed the growth and how you transformed the original hedge around the fountain and lawn edge to incorporate new boxwood. It looks so pretty. That espalier in the back adds so much to that space i just love it all. Btw, the music you chose was perfect too 👍

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thanks for subbing and welcome!

[@MarianneRuffhaven]

The boxwoods are growing so well. Your entire garden has really grown so beautifully since 2019. You have been a constant source of inspiration.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much Marianne!

[@emkn1479]

I never cared a thing about boxwoods and never really knew anything about them. Since I got further into gardening I’ve come to love evergreens and look for anything that will put up with dry shade and deer. Boxwood fill that need and offer structure in my dry shade garden. Now I just love them! I’ve bought almost every shrub I’ve found on clearance and they’re peppering my gardens.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

That is awesome to hear! Boxwoods are such a staple of the garden in my opinion.

[@kaitlinjohnson2915]

100% the same. I cringe now to think that I tore out a couple beautiful yew shrubs in my landscape when I was first starting gardening because I just cared about flowers. Silly me. Now I love evergreens and want a ton. Linda Vater has inspired me to try topiary, so I’ve also collected some clearance boxwoods!

[@brianc9374]

I prefer news and junipers.

[@melaniem5971]

I have to tell you - it’s not just that you have developed a beautiful garden- but also your photography skills really shine! Thank you for sharing BOTH!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thanks so much 😊

[@evehsiao471]

You are doing great job with boxwood, I love it. I’m trying replace my boxwood which are sickness, anyway you inspire me some for next step. Thank you very much.

[@rosereal2319]

I wish I can grow winter boxwood in our area. I live in Winnipeg Canada and I am in zone 3. Every time I plant boxwood , next year it died on me. We have a really harsh winter. But I love all your boxwood and your garden.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

You really can't beat boxwoods, it's hard to find a substitute. You have done very well with yours. Bravo!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you very much AJ! I just love them so much 😘🌳

[@LeninMcDonalds]

Thank you just what I needed for my first boxwood care

[@WynnW00d]

I adore your garden and am learning so much from your videos! I’m currently working on propagating boxwood cuttings (with great success) in preparation for my future garden when we move in a few months! I have so many boxwood hedges planned and am determined to not spend an arm and a leg!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Good luck! You got this!

[@mfuller3172]

That's a good idea actually. 💡

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

I have tons growing from cuttings too. It works so well, and I do love free plants. 😀

[@inquisitvem6723]

Home Depot is selling a pair of Japanese boxwoods for $33. Is that a good deal?

[@TheEnthusiasticGardener]

How great to see your garden a few years ago, and the boxwoods have grown beautifully. I miss mine ❤️

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I hear you friend! I can share mine with you any time :)

[@rustynailmendlesohn8710]

I am really enjoying seeing the transformation of your beautiful garden throughout the years. The boxwoods look excellent. Good care :) I see you have the same rich dark soil that I have in Central Illinois. We are lucky. :) Great vid Roxana

[@SoilandMargaritas]

We are blessed!

[@emilykiesling2315]

I got my boxwoods the same time as your and they look like they’re the same size as yours this year, I am from Kentucky love my boxwoods too 💕 thanks for sharing !

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you Emily! They are such an underrated plant I think.

[@coachdonnieb.420]

I just discovered your channel 10 minutes ago searching youtube boxwoods. You are the best and very humble. Thank you for the tips, and your backyard is beautiful, perfect music selection the melody 🎶 with the video is so calming.

You should! They are amazing!

They look amazing, all the colors are perfectly blended. beautiful garden!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much!

[@roslynholcomb]

Your hedge is so pretty. The color is gorgeous. I adore boxwoods. Not so much hedges as topiaries. I’ve never done topiaries but want to try it. A friend gave me some cuttings and I’m propagating them. That way if I make a mess of it I at least won’t have a ton of money invested.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Good luck friend!

[@carolrose4784]

Looking good!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I can't believe it has been 3 years already :( About the time I started the channel :)

[@AmyJBrowne]

Always a pleasure seeing your garden Roxanna. I planted 2 hedges of wintergreen boxwoods this year in my front garden beds because of you. I plan on planting more on the side of my house they are just wonderful plants.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

They are! Hardy and beautiful!

Looking amazing Roxanna 🌸💕🌸

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you! 😘😘

[@proberts6283]

Hi Roxanna. I, too, am a boxwood lover, and have several varieties in my landscape. This spring I did a renovation prune on 5 Green Mountain boxwoods that have been in the ground for at least 25 years. I am so pleased with the results, they are growing back fresh and healthy. I have noticed that each morning I have a 3-5 inch stem from one or more of the boxwoods on the ground next to the plant. Can the rabbits be eating my boxwoods in addition to half of my perennials? Do other animals eat boxwoods? I have had a real problem this year with rabbits, etc.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I have no clue, I don’t think I know of anything that eats boxwoods… Could it be bunnies?

[@soniadenny700]

Very inspiring! Love, love your channel 🥰

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thanks Sonia!

[@laurieg5308]

Wow they’re growing quick! I’m so tempted to start a boxwood hedge..I’d love to find them at $8

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Right?! This was before the whole C*vid mess! I saw a couple early this year at my local Lowes and they were $15 each...same size... I need to find a part time job just to buy plants 😆

[@mfuller3172]

Beautiful, I love that boxwood too. You just inspired an extension in my front yard! Maybe I will make a video of it! I have had a hard time finding small ones this season. I cannot handle digging deep big holes due to carpal tunnel so I believe in buying smaller plants and waiting for them to fill in

[@SoilandMargaritas]

It’s going to look amazing! ❤️❤️

You just appeared in my feed wow love your garden so pretty kind of want mine to look like yours. Love your quality of the picture what kind of camera ?

The trellis that your honeysuckle is climbing on, is it something you made yourself or was it store-bought? I am a big fan of boxwood hedges too, love 💕 your garden

I got the trellis from Amazon, I have 2 there.

[@rblxspidey2302]

Could you please post an update on these

[@backyardgarden1932]

Hi I’m new to your channel and wanted to know what that orange small like flower behind to your boxwood is called? It’s so pretty also your garden is amazing, I enjoy watching your videos.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Hello! They are helleniums, I can't recall the variety but they come in tons of different colors, they are late bloomers so they just started and they will go until mid fall.

[@backyardgarden1932]

@@SoilandMargaritasthank you.

[@rebeccac1127]

Hola! gracias por el video... Tengo unos boxwoods plantados desde mas de 5 años y no han crecido😔, tal vez solo unas 3 pulgadas, yo creo q es xq la tierra donde los plantamos está muy apretada... será eso?? O habrá alguna otra razón? Los riego y hasta uno de ellos ya se esta poniendo amarillo, tiene meses amarillo, pero aun no se seca .. gracias.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Que tanto sol y que tipo de fertilizante les das? Aveces si estan en la sombra se toman mas tiempo en crecer y aveces asi pasa, de repente uno se muere especialmente si ya lleva años y no tiene nutrientes.

[@marionmorrison3273]

Love your garden, could you please tell me the shrubs name you have in the background behind the boxwoods>

[@SoilandMargaritas]

The white-pinkiss flowers are LITTLE quick fire hydrangeas, and I have 2 tall boxwoods on the side. I also have a bunch of perennials like millenium garlic, hellenium(SP?), geranium rozanne.

[@Flower_hoarder]

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳NICE‼️

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you!

[@MsCmsh]

Love your boxwood!! Wonder how big will they get at maturity?? I’m debating between Baby Gem, Sprinter (heard it’s improved version of Winter Gem) & Winter Gem and also spacing?? Anybody has suggestions? I’m in zone 8b. Tks for sharing !!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I only have experience with winter gem, I have no problems with them or with winter green, I honestly cannot tell them apart, these can get pretty big if I let them but I also like that I can keep them small.

[@topbuxusholland]

👍

[@kristymarie6065]

Are these ok in full sun?? Btw love your garden

[@SoilandMargaritas]

They are, they can also handle semi shade

[@melvinwonder]

What are those large green hedges behind the winter boxwoods?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Those are Korean Lilacs

[@bobkucharski9425]

Have you tried to split boxwoods (similar to splitting hostas)?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Not really, most of my boxwoods are one trunk

[@shawoo]

How far did you space each of them?

[@harmonyrose6552]

Can they be planted in clay soil? Is your soil clay? Mine is so id love to know yours or other commenters experience. Thank you😊

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I don't have clay soil so I can't confidently answer this but I suppose you can try it for one season for a couple of them and see.

[@inquisitvem6723]

Did you water the dirt before digging to make it easier?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I don’t think so, that would be super messy!

[@RYang-fz1ve]

Just planted my 1 gallon boxwoods, and they don't seem to be holding up well! I keep thinking it's because my husband took the boxwood out from their original pot soil and just planting the boxwoods by their roots into our soil. HELP!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

😩 Why did he do that and Why did you let him 😒? Keep watering them and hopefully they make it.

[@RYang-fz1ve]

@@SoilandMargaritas Do you think it'll be safe to redig them out and replant them in a pot until it looks better?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

@@RYang-fz1ve honestly that would probably stress them even more.

[@inquisitvem6723]

I planted 4 last year and two turned yellow and eventually died. How often did I need to water it?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I hardly water mine, maybe a few times when they first get planted. They are very easy to grow fit me here.

[@angelica8697]

How far apart did you space them?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

All the info is on the video 😘

[@AliAhmad-gr6hk]

what do you fertilize them with?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Regular balance fertilizer in powder form... whatever I can find locally.

[@AliAhmad-gr6hk]

Any specific month ? I read online to do it April June and August. Then another one stated only in April. So not sure.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

@@AliAhmad-gr6hk depending where you live. You want to wait until most of the cold weather is gone because if you start fertilizing too early, the plant might start pushing new growth quickly and a frost could kill those baby leaves… also in the fall, don’t wait too late because a use that new growth after fertilizer needs to be able to survive the winter. For my central Indiana area, I do early May and late August or so.

[@AliAhmad-gr6hk]

Thank you very much. I live in Michigan so very close to you. I will follow your tips.

[@MaNo0sss]

How tall they get?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

This variety about 3-5' tall if I let them.

@@SoilandMargaritas recommend fertilizer and how often and soil?
