I love the look of a path that is not perfect and looks quaint. Your garden design is so beautiful everything works so well together 🌼🐝

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much!

[@Talula72]

I love how the boxwoods create a wall. It's like entering another room.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I think so too! Once they are big enough to shape into a wall, it will be a nice break... I hope this heat doesn't mess up with them too much.

[@lisajaiprashad8978]

Love the roses in the pots and how you have them elevated. They look awesome!!

[@jaysea4916]

That opening shot is gorgeous! Everything looks so lush and healthy and the alliums gives much visual interest. I enjoyed the video. Peace-

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much!

[@Manny1M]

This was a lovely planting session. It is a good feeling when you get to the parts of your garden that have been patiently waiting for your attention. Looks great.

[@user-lm3ye4db7v]

I love your brick path!! If you do take it up lay landscape cloth then sand . It will takes care of the weeds but it's beautiful the way it is! Sometimes we need to look to our blooms for perfection and you have tons of that❤❤

[@luciannedemarco6296]

Would you consider making a video for us beginner gardeners on how to take a blank slate and create a magical garden like yours? Please and thank you in advance!

[@snowbel09able]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. I thought it was beautiful before but then you did your magic and Wow. Thanks again.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you! 😘

[@traceyporter4479]

Everything is beautiful, I love the brick path, that gives me a good idea for my garden

[@jazzlover328]

Your garden is an absolute dream all because of your incredible vision and hard work, THANK YOU for sharing I love and am inspired by you and PS I LOVE that brick path ‘a weed magnet’ 😂😂

[@lovelight9164]

Saving and collecting allium seeds is very easy, just let the green pods turn brown before pulling them out of the ground then just shake them into a bag or baggie. Little black seeds will spill out like crazy, the bulbs under ground also expand each year so if you begin seeing less globes just dig them and divide the bulbs in the fall.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

When do you start these seeds?

[@marthasprague4414]

This video was so enjoyable and motivating! You did an amazing job! I have to admit I didn’t see your vision, but wow! It all turned out beautifully. Thanks for sharing your garden with us.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much!

[@amyjones2490]

Espoma rose food does wonders for roses. I love all their products.

[@AD-hs2bq]

I love coneflowers. They are so easy.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

They are gorgeous!

[@angelaschettino1327]

What a gorgeous difference!

[@chrismarchetti-olson6632]

It looks amazing with the coneflowers!!! You did a great job as always 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌸

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thanks so much 😊

[@melaniel442]

Loved everything about this! You have the best design ideas Roxana. Very inspiring! Great video all around. 😊

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much!

[@dawndawn6946]

Oh, those Monrovia plants are gorgeous! Every single one of them! I have been buying more Monrovia this year. The quality of their plants is amazing. Roxana, even with weeds, your garden beds are so lovely! Your videos always inspire and encourage me. Thank you so much.❤

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Glad you like them!

[@DragonflyArtz1]

I like it! I like your eye for shapes, colors and textures. But most of all - it has inviting charm. Like it is a path you want to take to go enjoy your Ice Tea in the shade. I just like it!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much!

[@quailhollow7955]

Wow!!!!The boxwoods next to that charming path is the prettiest style. Great job!!❤❤

[@donnajoy6951]

Maybe decompose granite could work with the brick path😊

[@judyyork1114]

There is a product available at Lowe's called polymeric sand you sweep it down the cracks with a broom and then wet it with a hose. It will set your pavers. Also bags of crushed granite underneath to level them. Everything is looking so lush! I'm a huge fan of boxwood too. I have 16 of them. Eleven in large containers. They really can take the extremes of Oklahoma weather. Your video style is lovely.

[@el0quentpilgrim]

it looks amazing! love the variety of coneflowers and also the structure of the boxwood - beautiful!!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Those double coneflowers are LOVELY! I might need to find them in other colors!

[@elizabethbutterfly6572]

Thank you for your reply. I enjoy watching your videos. Hope I didn’t sound negative. ✌️ You have a beautiful garden.♥️

[@SoilandMargaritas]

No worries!

[@roslynholcomb]

So absolutely gorgeous. I love the roses on the bench. Now I’m thinking I have a perfect spot for something similar. I never think of putting roses in containers. Keeping the weeds out of the walkway is so hard. We did a dry river bed and initially made the mistake of using landscape cloth. Yuck! Now I use Preen and polymeric sand and it seems to help. My husband hits any that get through with the weed torch and it stays nice.

[@eleanormarcellus8676]

everything is so beautiful!

[@KatesGarden]

That looks so good! I really like the warm colours ❤ Allium seeds are pretty easy to collect. You’ll notice the seed heads start to get crispy and the seeds will start falling out if you pat them. (Although you get a lot more summer rain than me so I’m not sure how that will affect them) just keep an eye on them, I’m sure you’ll get them 😄

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Do you start them super early indoors? I should have said in the video, I have a pretty good idea on when to collect and how to start the seeds, but I wonder if I should do that this late summer so that the plants can get a true winter... Will they bloom the first year?

[@KatesGarden]

@@SoilandMargaritas I can’t say I’m an expert on them. I’d be looking up when to start them as well. I don’t think they will flower in the first year. The ones that have self sown in my garden just look like grass 😅

[@terridee9637]

It’s so beautiful now! Be careful how you re-do the brick walk. We had a brick patio and every year had to re level parts of it. Unless there is an excavated foundation of some kind under it there may be heaving over winter. Good luck!!! June 19th here in central Indiana and it’s 91° here. Ugh

[@Ruffles-fs5qe]

Love the path ! It looks as if it’s been there a long time.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I really like it too, it looks old and part of this garden.

[@GardenMoxie]

Amazing transformation. I love the boxwood wall. Great job Roxana!

[@eileenchang2173]

You are fortunate your area does not suffer from the boxwood caterpillars/moth. So many people I know have lost their entire hedge in our area of the country. 😢🇨🇦 I have also been building up my perennial collection. I find that using compost instead of mulch does decrease the earwigs populations which then eat my dahlias and any other tender leaves such as many hostas!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Absolutely gorgeous 🥰

[@SouthCarolinaBetty]

You made this area really beautiful. And who needs mortar?...when a weed burner torch would be a fun tool to kill the weeds between the bricks, and it need not be nerve-racking with the garden hose nearby.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Ohhh I didn't think about a burner torch tool.

[@BramptonGardener]

Those boxwood are going to make such a lovely addition. I LOVE you animal print flip flops so cute. I started some coneflower from seed thst I hope end up being hot pink.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Last year I started some from seed, they were supposed to be a nice deep pink double fully gorgeous thing... instead I got a single light pink lol

[@BramptonGardener]

@@SoilandMargaritas ohh no. I took the seeds off a plant from the library soooo hege

[@dawnlapinski6292]

Wow, those coneflowers look great!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Right? They look amazing!

[@annespun]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@RosaLopez-zw2ff]

Everything looks beautiful!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you! 🤗

[@denisewade6439]

Everything looks so beautiful Roxana! I especially love the updated flower bed with the rock boarder. The brick gives it and English country vibe. I have all my planters in my backyard bordered with rocks the same size, and I moved every single one from areas all around my property. I love the look….kind of rustic elegance?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I love that brick path too, gives it that old garden look.

[@mycraftroom6872]

You did a beautiful job!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you! 😊

[@pamelakilgus6070]

That is so pretty ❤ I love the boxwoods 😊 I just bought a bunch of beautiful coneflowers today too !! They have such beautiful colors 😊 where do you get your Monrovia plants ?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I got half from my local nursery (Allisonville nursery) and the rest I got online, Monrovia has a thing where the plants ship directly to a local nursery where you can pick up. SOOOOO lovely!

[@kfrankism]

Yea for flowers. I've been waiting for your flower videos. You purchased some nice flowers...the bright pink coneflowers are so pretty. My hardy geraniums are doing the same thing. I prune them more than I thought I would have to. I love the Rosanne color.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

They go crazy if we get a nice spring, lots of pruning for the geraniums here too.

[@annwoleben5439]

Beautiful transformation~

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you! 😊

[@charliebrown5220]

Looking great ❤

[@lisac.8266]

Love the colors!😎🌺

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you! 🤗

[@cyberninja76a]

I didn't think 3box on one side and a solo box on the other would work. but What do I know... it looks 👍 Great...

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I had those boxwoods placed there for a few days… I walked by them constantly until I was sure I didn’t need a 5th there 🤓🤓🤓

[@wendyostlund3482]

How about something like creeping thyme in between the bricks? You do such good work!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I don't think I want something natural there since it is heavily used, whatever I plant in between bricks will be trash by traffic unfortunately.

[@user-td5mz7nk7f]

I ❤ your videos, I’m in the same zone but in Central Ohio. The boxwoods you mention in this video are going to be a solution for a long-time design issue for me in the micro-climate by my front door. I’m hoping I can find them in a local nursery.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

You can order them online if you can't find them locally. I did that for a few of those coneflowers.

[@luciannedemarco6296]

What will you do with the potted roses during the winter? I can watch you all day (sometimes I do :))

[@Lizze28]

Love the shape of those boxwoods

[@charlottesesco8795]

Just beautiful

[@boldpicturesgardeners]

Beautiful lush gadern ❤❤

[@courtneycullen6289]

I'm so feeling this. I snagged three gorgeous boxwoods and a few other shrubs and perennials. Its 95, but so what!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

LOL .. "So what!", I like that!

[@marissa3627]

Love this lush and cozy look. I’d want a chair on the left to sit in and simply enjoy. Can’t wait to see them again later in the season as they grow in

[@MariaFuentes-jh3le]

It looks beautiful very green & lush! The cone flowers are gorgeous it's a great sign when the bees are also loving the flowers!

[@meysam9]

That's great 😊

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thanks! 😊

[@GlendaClark-ns7cm]

Yes I have collected allium seeds but never have been able to get them to grow. Good luck to you.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Sorry to hear that, I will try my best!

[@OCDishChick]

Your flowers are gorgeous! Love the layout! 💐 Very inspiring video! Nice job! Stay cool! 🥶

[@miranduri]

All gorgeous. For the bricks, use sand and level it and stomp it down Dig the dirt first so the bricks are not so high. I did a whole pathway in my yard using this method. After 5 years they are still in place. You can also use a bit of mulch glue in the edges so the mulch does not fly around so much.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Great idea!

[@patz2917]

I agree that the Rosanne geraniums spread but I love mine. Did you relocate yours to another part of the garden?

[@bozenakaleniak8586]

I love watching you planting flowers, you chose such a beautiful colors ! Since you put the roses in the pots, how you will overwinter them ? I’m in zone 6A 🌸

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Good question, I can probably bring them in in my unheated garage but more than likely they will go to a flower bed permanently.

[@emkn1479]

Beautiful! I love green mountain boxwood. I’ve been adding them to my landscape over the last few years whenever and wherever I can. One of the few evergreens the deer won’t ruin in winter! Some box stores mark them half price at the end of the season and I get what I can.

[@roslynholcomb]

So funny about your wagon. We thought about getting a garden wagon when the kids wagon we’ve used for 20 years broke. We quickly realized it was just too big for our small city lot so we got another Radio Flyer wagon.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

My flowers are HUGE on those containers and I can't even walk by carefully without breaking some!

[@lovelight9164]

I divided my banana creme Daisy a week ago and both sections are putting out a few buds. It was being over taken by the black eyed susans, I love black eyed susans but they are garden bullies.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I have had my share of black eyed Susans before, if they enjoy their spot they will let you know 😩

[@dustyflats3832]

That’s a nice addition! Hoping to get some rocks and pavers soon for a small rock garden. I pulled the poppies but I wouldn’t dare be caught out there with shorts and a T as the mosquitoes already took a pint. Do you have mosquitoes? I have more original coneflowers every year because I don’t deadhead. I think I heard the coneflowers can cross pollinate. I’m curious if all flowers in the same family cross?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Honestly, I am not sure about coneflowers doing that as I don't have many, as far as the rest of the flowers that happens here and there I am sure. I do have mosquitoes and they LOVE me, so I make sure to cover myself with spray to stop them from biting.

[@cathyhatfield5340]

Wow that looks beautiful and lush❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you! ❤

[@sannaericditsler4034]

Everything is looking lovely. What is the dark leaved shrub on the left side of the border? My hydrangea that i dug up is blooming also. It is super hot here too. I sm hoping for some cooler weather soon. Thanks for the video.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I got that a while ago, it was labeled standard plum... you probably have seen it in tree - round form, I just shape mine to be more like a flat wall and thin.

[@cyhomer]

The boxwood ‘wall’ will block all your beautiful flowers!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

The idea behind this wall is to create a room, from one side.. it looks minimalist and simply, and once you get past that point the blooms just welcome you.
