Let's see what's blooming at Moxie Gardens in late June//// and maybe some rambling conversations.

A tour of both the side garden and backyard. Let's journey together to find what mother nature has gifted the garden with.

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Your gardens are a breath of fresh air! I never get tired of seeing all of the beauty that abounds in your landscape. The brown spots in the lawn don't really matter, and I also feel that people who only see the flaws also miss seeing the true beauty. The friend and neighbor who moved to Florida gifted some gems to you and your wife to enjoy, and you'll always remember her. What a blessing! Thanks for sharing your lovely garden with us... count me in on any and every one of your garden tours! ~Margie

I love how jam packed your flower beds are, yet they don't look haphazard or messy. Looks great!!

Spray paint the spent allium blooms and hold for Christmas decorations. The potty spot looks like an opportunity for mulch or gravel.

Your garden is beautiful and I’m sure experienced gardeners watching your videos. Everyone has an opportunity to learn from others

[@gardenrulez]

Thank you for always reminding newbies that it is a progression to get to where you are. I love the walk through and seeing all of the changes as the seasons progress.

[@Tied2TheTube]

Yes!! 👏🏽

[@patriciashanks5870]

I love your videos. I've been a perennial gardener for 29yrs. Not only new gardeners will look at your channel, we all can learn from each other. And it's a joy to see what each other are growing. My garden is my therapy. I have a huge flower garden. Don't let it be a burden. Don't let the imperfections bother you. It's God's gift to you. All these flowers origin grow naturally somewhere on earth. Look at old videos of Lark's Garden. It will relax you and let you know all gardens are not weeded to perfection but they are all beautiful

Oh i adore Glads!!! Hey i took my bulldog out on the leash for 2weeks to train him to restroom on the brick path. He is 9yrs old n quite stubborn so i have biceps now too!🤣

That bowl fits in nicely there.

[@veronicaboydwash3265]

Even though you have alot of flowers, plants,shrubs, and small trees it looks great,.ihave been a gardener for over 50yrs.it takes time to get the look you want.people say ihave a beautiful yard and garden,nevertheless,some yrs.they look better than other.its alot,but rewarding,with sqirrels,rabbits,around and I live in the city limits of my towns,then I have aDog,a Yorkie, who love to chase the squirrels, and rabbits. It is a rewarding job. Because you don't feel like doing things in the garden but the rewards and the relief of stress ,is why I love gardening .if not iwouldnt have been doing this for (5)decades. Ilove God beauty. you love his beauty on earth.you say so many things I agree with in your videos.

Every plant has its own special place in this garden....it looks so tidy and meticulous. The garden seems to always have constant color and blooming flowers...it's a lil' paradise!

I have a friend (an excellent gardener) who spray paints her alium heads at this point and leaves them in the garden. Try it! Nothing to lose at this point, eh? Hers look quite good. For extra whimsy you could paint each one a different colour. :)

[@jenniferhooks2454]

I enjoy your garden tour videos. Your garden is just beautiful, and the fact that you are not a landscape professional makes it even better. You are doing what most of us do- find a plant you like and bring it home and fit it in somewhere. You have a layered garden. You might enjoy reading “The Layered Garden by David Culp.

[@truthofthematter9409]

The pot with the hole in the bottom is a good piece you can actually plant a plant in the ground and make it look like it's growing from the pot. Your garden is breath taking! You're giving Linda Vader a run for her money. Hold up... if we're watching you we're probably not very good gardeners???? lolz

What a great close to a great day - your gardens, the birds, the water running, and your commentary in a soothing voice. I actually closed my eyes and relaxed. Love how the little surprises in the garden excite you. Can't wait until my Crocosmia bloom. Hummers should love it. Glad you showed the pee spots. IT happens.

Hey, I've gardened for decades and I like your channel. lol Who doesn't like seeing a well put together garden? I just thrifted an old metal tractor funnel to add to my garden as a planter. I like to thread old galvanized items throughout my garden, along with a bit of whimsy.

[@alice_rabbit8345]

I’ve been gardening for over 30 years, your garden is very inspiring!!

[@donnaswells3939]

You are so encouraging. I started my gardens years ago, and had a bad situation with a neighbor to where I had to walk away and not be in my yard. Long story... Now I have health issues, but each day, with my husband's help we are finding joy in finding our garden again. When I get down I come here, and refresh to go pull another weed, and see what we've accomplished. You've done a beautiful job.

[@IFuzzyWuzzyDoodle]

I like your garden much more than the so called ‘perfect’ professional gardens. The reason is you pour YOURSELF into every bed and turn of the garden, it makes it a true reflection of you!

[@terriklugh2910]

Your garden is just amazing. I can't wait to see what you do next. We all have those parts of our garden that aren't perfect. I would not worry about the little dog areas one bit. Please keep sharing your beautiful garden with us.

[@lizmerritt2148]

Missing new moxie garden videos so rewatching the old ones. Showed my husband some of your videos and said,” this is what I want our backyard to look like!” He agreed that it is beautiful, especially the Japanese moon gate. Hey Mike I hope you are doing well and just taking a break. Miss seeing you and your garden!

[@izabelaszydlowska3940]

Enjoyed watching the video - your lilies are looking beautiful!!! I noticed that ninebark makes a really beautiful backdrop for cone flowers and crocosmia btw. Good job!

[@jodiv2928]

absolutely beautiful.. I am not even there and I feel how peaceful your garden is. I hear you on the rain doing your garden good.. Live in Michigan and have had a ton of rain the last 3 to 4 days.. Today was the first day with no rain.. Got in my garden and I have a rose of sharon in tree form and I have a bud that is purple and read to pop probably in a few days! I could not believe it.. Its not even the first of July and my Rose of Sharon is starting to bloom??..Never would guess it would even do this. It is only my 2nd year with it as well.

[@keithpugh7538]

Even experienced gardeners talk about trials and tribulations to gardening. I think hard work is worth it whether you view it as a hobby or work. Once you get your garden to a certain level, it’s just about maintenance.

[@veronicaboydwash3265]

Yes,it's about maintenance, adding some things. &sometimes just leaving things alone !neverthless I love using seeds alot,especially for my sunflowers, I love my giant ones,they are a show stopper, but I have had perennial in my garden for years,and love seeing hostas,iris.daylilies and others come back up each year because annuals have gotten really expensive, I use them, but iam blessed to have also in my yard hollies,a.beauiful Dwarf Japanese Maple bush, which is realy beauiful this year. Peonies, which comes back each spring.my yard isnt huge ,not junky, or look cluttered. Its a wrought iron fence around the property ,and on a corner lot !that and the beautiful landscape, made me purchase it over 20yrs.ago.and I was also blessed to put my gardening skills to reflect my style.

About your doggy area - Jess from Roots & Refuge says, “perfection and abundant life cannot exist in the same space” I think it applies here, as well.

[@moxiegardens8033]

Nailed it!!! 😊

[@Tied2TheTube]

I like that you keep it real. I’m pretty new to gardening especially perennials and the ornamental stuff and it’s FOR SURE a trial and error process getting the beds right. I have to remind myself, too, that it hasn’t even been a year since I started. When I look at my first garden tour video from January I’m reminded how far I’ve come. And it kind of blows my mind how much can be accomplished! Thanks for sharing your beautiful, beautiful space! It’s very inspiring. 😍

Thank you for the great tour😊 I have some of the same daylillies, lol I for the life of me crocosmia will not grow for me and I LOVE it,,,but I’m doing it again I’ll plant those silly little corms again!!!

Your work is amazing, thanks for sharing....in zone 7

Can't believe you're not a professional garden designer. I'm a hobbyist and passionate about my gardening too, and watch a ton of You Tube for inspiration (on design, and to learn about new plants so I can then research further about what might do well in my own garden here in UK). Yours is a very informative channel, one of the best, and look forward to watching more.

I think the pretty daylily with the darker red center and ruffled red trimmed edges is Rainbow Rhythm “King of the ages” by. proven winners. I saw the plant on another KZbin channel “Gardening with Creekside [Nursery] in Dallas, NC.

My backyard backs up to a pond and I have a critter that tunnels up into my yard and eats the roots of stuff. At first I thought I was doing something wrong until I dug up a plant and saw the tunnel and the eaten roots. Then I walked along the tunnel and it caved in all the way to the pond. Happened in several places. Finally we came up with an Idea of digging a trench the length of the yard 16" deep and put bags of rocks in it covered it with dirt and put the sod back over. So far so good. We've had people say to kill it or set a trap but we moved into their space so we had to come up with a different solution. Rabbits, Deer and whatever else were there first so.... We just roll with it. There's a lot to choose from on the other side of the pond so It's not like everything in my yard is being destroyed. Just had crimes of opportunity occur. lol

Do you leave a lot of space between plants or put them close together. I just can't seem to get that "look" any tips? Also, I LOVE the tucked away birdhouses. It's all beautiful!!
