Let's Talk Trees 🌳 🏡 🌲 Part 1

[@chinadolldr8091]

Don’t you ever lose sleep because of someone opinion! Your garden is phenomenal. Anyone with a negative opinion is jealous. This screams hard work and dedication! I’m surprised you haven’t been featured in a garden magazine. Love your channel!

[@teresetheophilus329]

Your garden is peaceful and relaxing. Don’t listen to people who have their own personal issues. There are no mistakes when you are creating a garden for yourself. Nature is an amazing journey.

The green veining with surrounding yellowing of the leaves are a reflection of iron deficiency.

[@pamelasgardenparty1945]

Don't lose sleep over negative comments. The internet had given people to say whatever they want. Just because it's not their style doesn't give them a right to say mean things. I love your garden! I'd love to come see it in person. You have re inspired me again to plant more trees! Continue to do you!!! ❤

[@chrismarshall2024]

Yes, it’s a shame the internet sometimes brings out the worst in people. Concentrate on us who love you and your gardening not fools who have mouths!! Lots of love!!!

[@verneepeterson8771]

Some folks need to keep their negative comments to themselves, your garden is beautiful.

[@catherineslavin7324]

Your yard and garden are wonderful and, even as a seasoned gardener, I find inspiration in your videos all the time. I hope you can shrug off the offensive comments and not take them to heart. Thanks for sharing it all with us.👍

[@hobbitlady7568]

You have the gift. These trees and plants are ❤❤❤❤❤ happy and healthy

[@richardwaller6696]

Hey Moxie! Don’t ever apologize for the words you use to describe your garden! I think it’s a super garden too! Those of us that watch shows like yours are only inspired to do more to ours. Love your show!

[@sbarton291]

Forgot to say, but I watch and have learned a lot from Jim/HortTube, he's great.

[@freyartz]

Thanks for the 🌳 tour. Absolutely LOVE it!

[@JupitersFire]

Looking Beautiful Toomey! 🌳🌲

[@paulapeeler3157]

I love your garden... I like the mystery of it. Something tucked here, something tucked there, It's beautiful!!!

[@hobbitlady7568]

I get so happy excited about a rugged, American western style big old evergreen or pine and some bright yellow black eyed Susan’s underneath

[@margievaughan2456]

Beautiful trees love them everything looks super. 😊

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Beautiful landscape and Trees on the property. Thanks for the tour!

[@GIY_Garden]

Hi! I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time and as an aspiring landscape/garden designer 👩‍🎨 I have to say you have such an AMAZING eye!!! I would say THE best on KZbin I’ve seen! (Sorry everyone else it’s just my personal opinion) Your piece of 🌎 is just breathtaking!😍 a million times thank you for being such an amazing inspiration. May you be blessed with a long fruitful life.

[@myrahclemens1983]

I'm fairly new to your garden. It's so unique. I love it. I wish I had your eye for gardening. You give me so many ideas

[@dennymeyer1287]

I think your gardens are beautiful and everything just goes together, I think the blue ice, looking from the road and your pine are just beautiful close to each other, they make each other pop! I Love your gardens! Genie : )

[@blackjewel1000]

The lady who couldn't make sense of your garden, sounds jealous.. Also. Savannah Holly is a good tap Root tree that stays evergreen that's good to put in a tight spot

[@chrismarshall2024]

I ordered what I believed is a redbud or a dogwood through the mail. It was all torn up when I received it and basically a dying stick. They refunded me and I went ahead and planted it, and low and behold it took off like crazy. I want to send you a picture of it because I need to know how to trim it. I’ll also write Jim from Hortube he’s also one of my favorites but he’s busy traveling with his girlfriend. I’m not tech savvy so now when it’s daylight I’ll attempt to take a picture. I think it’s a white dogwood TIA! I’ve been gardening for years and still learning from you!!!! Don’t stop posting on KZbin again! Us gardeners missed you!!! Claudine Marshall Cypress, Texas zone 9

[@BohoJungleCat]

Thank you for posting videos about all of your trees. I’m planning to add a bunch of trees in my backyard gardens. All of my neighbors backyards face each other. It’s like living in a fish bowl! 😁 All of our houses have walkout basements so it’s like two story houses in the back. I think I remember you mentioning that about your neighbors in one or two of your videos. I agree with you about doing you research on trees, shrubs and plants! Buy Japanese beetle traps for the beetle invasion! It’s a hit or miss with them here in Kentucky 6b.

[@Nanaslegacy]

I love your landscape! Your garden is beautiful! I had 3 Leland cypress and all died this year! Very heartbreaking they were in their 3rd season, I’m not sure what killed them but I’m suspecting cold got them, we had-30 temps over the winter and I’ve seen a lot of dead cypress in my community. I will not ever plant them again! If yours are diseased you may want to remove the dead branches to keep it from spreading.

[@gsjob11]

That Blue Spruce is fabulous! So much growth and fullness! Love your gardens and explaining your thought process in planting. 😊

[@pamelasgardenparty1945]

I love that blue spruce! It's fabulous ❤

[@chrismarshall2024]

Me as well!! I love how he explains what and why he plants what he does!

[@tinajohnson7375]

When healthy, that Arizona cypress is stunning. Find another spot u wont be disappointed.

[@draselee6131]

Beautiful property. Love it.

[@cynthiachronister4082]

Your garden is beautiful 😊I'm planting trees for privacy as well I think if you go with what you love in and outside your home it works its personal 😊

[@nejo3427]

Love, love, love ❤❤❤this garden! And loving everything about it! Absolutely beautiful! I'm always waiting for the next episode!

[@blackyardgardens8266]

I Litterally watched this video just to get the name of the blue Cyprus tree! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. I plant a lot of fruit in my yard but desire to keep a beautiful landscape as well and it is a difficult balancing act😅 thx again!!

[@Srj2404]

your gardens are lovely. inspiring really.

[@patdelaney191]

Some people can't see the wood for the trees as the saying goes. In other words if a garden isn't twee with neat little flowers all in a row, their minds can't cope. So don't mind what some people say. I've had folk tell me my garden is too busy. I say 'not at all, it's just full'. 😊😊👍

[@delighted8481]

LOVELY!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!

[@marjorietench3925]

Just beautiful!

[@hobbitlady7568]

Pine is so America for me ❤

[@loissaylor2832]

You deserve to work your magic on a new garden , think about! Its what I'd like watch from you.jeff

[@sandiesorchids9387]

Hello, I love your garden this is my first time here. You are not doing anything wrong it is amazing. You do it for yourself and don't mind the negative comments.

[@crochet7169]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@audreyhensley8043]

Great video! Love the driftwood & yours is huge mine are too small

[@hangoutwithannie]

This is my inspiration 🙌 ❤️

[@praisingirl]

It looks a bit like chlorosis. I’m in kcmo & have more acidic soil. Chlorosis is usually caused by too alkaline of soil. Maybe someone else knows another cause. Good luck, beautiful evergreen garden!

[@dorothyzabriskie7513]

I wish you lived close to me (I would absolutely have you come and tell me where to place everything lol) because I absolutely love your gardening style. I need help with how to design my landscape like yours… I watch your videos and my landscape is not looking good to me… could my problem be patience. I am trying though and will continue to get inspiration from you and maybe my yard will get there. Thank you so much for your videos

[@jeannesmith1761]

Yeah I love the address to it in the stones and all that stuff too but everytime I put any kind of piece of wood in my gardens for decoration the guys that run the park take it out they think it's junk I keep trying so good watching your show on the 1030 gardens and Pennsylvania again okay talk to you later bye

[@jeannesmith1761]

I like all your ideas they just are so nice I'm the one that has 30 gardens in Pennsylvania at memorial Park and I just love doing all those gardens and I do different designs on each 12 I like to use the old stuff on them so yeah I like all your ideas cool okay talk to you later bye

[@taarna11]

There’s no such things as too many trees 😊. The blue spruce is beautiful! You have done an amazing job at creating privacy and enclosing your property. The front path is also my favorite!!!

[@taekaleggett5063]

Your garden is absolutely beautiful ❤! You have color, texture, layers and different height. It makes perfect sense!! Never let anyone steal your joy!! Thanks for sharing ❤!!!

[@CarolynRedpath]

Wow! Wow! I was hoping you would do a couple of tree videos! So glad this is just Part 1! Just beautiful!❤❤

[@EddaElid]

EDTA - keeps iron soluble at pH of 6.3 and below. Not recommended for North Dakota. DTPA - keeps iron soluble at pH of 7.5 and below. Use only in specific situations. EDDHA - keeps iron soluble up to pH of 9.0. Recommended throughout North Dakota. This is a reference I use. I have water irrigation for my landscape. This tends to increase the pH level in my soil which will occasionally promote chlorosis. So when I know there is a thunderstorm coming I sprinkle sulfur throughout my soil. Then the next thunderstorm I sprinkle EDDHA throughout the soil. So far I’ve not experienced any more chlorosis. The key is using EDDHA and not EDTA. I did that mistake and with the high pH level the plants could not absorb it. Drainage can also promote chlorosis. Hope this helps. Let’s us know what you end up doing.

[@rosesmith6208]

chlorisis, needs chelated iron, I have used epsom salts for the cholorsis, it works too, japanese beetles were a problem until I got chickens and I free range, hardly see a beetle now. looks like a beautify garden to me, whoever said ti made them naseous is weird never heard a garden ever described in that way. maybe the ice is not getting enough sunshine? that zebra grass is going to get huge unless it is a mini cultivar, mine is huge, the ice should be moved it is not happy there and if it is getting huge to close to the house.

[@patriciagarner2732]

I love your videos and your garden is just beautiful. So full of so many different trees and plants. Keep up the good work.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

Hortube is great!!! Jim is a good teacher!

[@cme9758]

The lighter color in the viburnum leaves could be an iron deficiency. May need a treatment of iron-tone by Espoma, no I'm not affiliated with Espoma but I do use this product and it works. Good Luck

[@loissaylor2832]

I'd like to see you use a plant called broom plant.jeff

[@donnaonley-harden3629]

I am so happy that you learned to ignore the evil comments, because your gardens are absolutely beautiful, Thank you for sharing.

[@andresfresa123]

When I started I was going by the size labels will say but garden was looking pretty meh and empty, I feel like a lot of trees shape to their space and they don’t always grow to their full potential for any reason. My garden is very similar to yours, I try to combine textures and colors without order and I love the natural look and pops of colors here and there.

[@raykat100]

Nice variation of trees for interesting shape, color & texture. I enjoyed the tour and appreciate you sharing your beautiful garden!

[@diannesteele1343]

Thank you for doing the tree series. So looking forward to part 2.

[@debbie2917]

Beautiful. You’ve done a great job of making your home looks secluded. I love the privacy you have. I’m inspired by your video, I subscribed to your channel today.😁

[@danlents1764]

Mike - what you've done with your yard is incredible and very inspirational. You have me looking at my garden differently and I've made some cool changes this summer. I always ask myself, what would Mike do?! So sorry that person said something negative. You can't please everyone!

[@Mary-d7u8l]

I so enjoyed your video on just trees. This is great to just focus on one thing. It continues to amaze me every time I see your garden. It is so beautiful and interesting. You are amazing!! It makes my day to see you have posted a video.

[@shaynaeizenga4673]

Love your garden! And I find your let’s-just-try-it attitude very freeing. I definitely tend to overthink and often that stops me from doing anything. You’ve definitely shown me another way 😊 Thanks for sharing your garden and philosophy!

[@Blake.Cooper]

I'm sure gardening isn't your full time job but it certainly could be! What do you do for work? I'm sure you spend most of your paycheck at the garden center like I do! Your garden is just amazing!

[@Rustytoolgardener]

Loved the focus on trees this time. Great video and beautiful garden design. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm. Drew

[@sherryharmon1390]

I love your garden and creativity! Everything is “super special” to your subscribers too! Thanks for sharing your hands-on knowledge looking forward to part 2

[@a2j457]

You have your own beautiful arboretum. Many pay money go to places like this. If you make part 2 or 3, it would be great!😊 🌻👍

[@beverlypatterson]

Moxie, you have a beautiful garden. A garden is beautiful when you have your own design because it take on your own personality. Now when you have a beautiful garden as you do, Guess what!!! You will have Haters! Many they will say hurtful things and that is what haters do, so do not Fret! Love what you do and keep making them hate on you. I guarantee you they will not get out there and create a garden like you. BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@dawndawn6946]

Your garden is LOVELY! The layers, textures, and colors-not to mention the structures and accents-takes a practiced eye. It doesn’t take too much to buy two or three types of plants and alternate them throughout a garden-that’s still gardening, but…😏

[@debbyfletcher2941]

Don’t worry what someone might say about your garden. It’s inspired my hubby to see my vision for our front yard. We live between two roads and the front does have traffic. Slowly we’ve added evergreens to block out the view and noise. 4 years in and slowly getting there. Hopefully this fall we’ll be adding different Junipers to the area for color and blocking year round. We want privacy and to be able to watch the wild life around us. Thank you for sharing your garden with us, it’s fabulous🌻

[@melanonymous]

You could actually limb up your Blue Ice Cypress and make it like a topiary. A Nursery by me has done that in a big pot flanking their doorway and it's very pretty. You can limb up the Leylands too. My Leylands (I have a row of about 15) are about 30 yrs old and they start to die out at the bottom. I limbed mine up and made like a tunnel and started planting new plants and groundcovers under them.

[@judyanderson8782]

Love your garden, but I can't wait till you move to the country and get to expand your garden. What plants could or would you take with you? The trees we have are what my husband calls "scrub trees" nothing special. Most are deciduous and I rake leaves from Nov to April. Not my favorite 35:17 job. The blending of the shades of green you have in your trees shows an artistic eye. Great job.

[@laurelsayer7557]

Great video. I'm in UK, and agree that trees are wonderful for disguising boundaries, and hiding the surrounding neighbourhood in order to create a private haven, as long as a careful choice is made of the most appropriate varieties for a small garden. What I am very aware of though is that trees can create unwanted shade for neighbours so that should also be a consideration. That, and the drying of the soil and big roots that can impact both you and the neighbours over time. But I think you've got it just right.

[@heatheryarbrough5255]

Looks like iron chlorosis on your viburnum. Give chelated iron. Your garden looks amazing🤩.

[@nancyallen2346]

Informative and entertaining as always, Mike! Happy 4th and hope you enjoyed your garden to the max today!!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Wonderful collection Mark 🥰

[@aprilmogensen]

I am still in the midst of watching this video ... but had to jump on to say I think when you plant trees etc for more privacy it is also a gift to your neighbours, for they can see the beauty from their property & enjoy more privacy as well. Where we use to live one neighbour put up a privacy fence for they had a couple of dogs & even though we had a chain link fence because of all my flower on our side it gave the appearance we had a privacy fence. And the front of our house of same neighbour we had hedge that gave us privacy & the neighbour privacy & we both enjoyed the beauty of the greenery. Your place is amazingly beautiful.

[@trisha4829]

Thanks for the tree video! I’ve been looking forward to this. ❤

[@trixiet9747]

You have a true gift for landscaping! I love your yard and I get many ideas from you. You have an artists eye.

iron defficiency on your leaves on your vibernum

[@wagnerab1958]

Loving this video, your garden is gorgeous. The only thing that was sickening was that ladies comment. The viburnum has iron chlorosis, it needs an iron compound to fix it.

[@missouriartiste]

Thought I knew your yard/garden pretty well, but was a bit confused where we were at. Always a good surprise with you. Awesome information...good job Mike!

[@alcg3981]

I had St. John's Wort bush form for about 10 years and it came back after shearing. I only cut half or 2/3. Mine was only 3-4 ft tall though. I finally took it out 2 years ago because I saw that it was spreading some. I do have the ground cover version under my Susan Magnolia but it's invading the walkway and other plants so I'll work on taking that out either this Fall or next Spring. Zone 6, not sure if A or B, I'm in France.

[@LindasFlowersandVegetablesGard]

A very nice garden!

[@sbarton291]

I've been watching your videos for a few months now and enjoy how you garden, you have a good artistic eye. I can relate with you on the learn-as- you-go as that's what I've done the last few years and just enjoy being in the garden. I loved the location of the multi truck white birch and the love the pathway of blue spruce, everything is filling in and blooming nicely there. I'm going to go back and search some of your older videos about the garden hose watering. I'm interested in how you actually water and you've mentioned poking holes in old hoses and placing them through out the garden. But what next, do you have a good solid hose hooked up to the tap and your connect it to you 'drip' hose? How long is the home made drip hose? Beautiful yards!

[@nancynoascono747]

How do you manage all the leaves in the fall? Do you rake them up or leave as mulch?

[@hossuandrei9492]

Min 24:30 It's the same tree as the one I asked you about in the other video?
