Why have so few people watched this? Roy is an absolute gift.

[@RoyDiblik]

thank you! and thanks for watching!

So wonderful. Insightful. Pause. Take stock and observe. Take time to get it right. Forgive the scabiosa from 10 years ago that are now thugs, and the frickin’ euphorbia. I will take a deep breath and pull. And imagine what comes next.

I feel like each one of these isn't just a garden lesson but a life lesson too. "Expectations sometimes shortchange us." Thanks, Roy! Excited for the video later in the year about growing seedlings under a screen.

I love your philosophy of growth as a gardener! So many of my gardening friends and family tell me their gardens "are full" and " they are finished". Like you, I am always thinking of possibilities to create a closer harmony with nature and express my creativity with plants. Thank you for enriching my gardening life, Roy!

[@alonline139]

So much of the wisdom here is about life just as much as about the garden ❤

[@pogsslammer2106]

So generous of you pass your knowledge on. Thank you for spending the time making these videos.

[@RoyDiblik]

I appreciate that! thanks for watching!

[@ec9401]

Thank you, Roy! I have absolutely fallen in love with gardening. I think in part because as you said, plants move at their own pace. I adore relinquishing control and feeling like a partner - or a facilitator. Most of all I love the life a garden brings (to the gardener and the land). This video was hugely helpful for me. I’m going to watch all your other ones in between long days puttering outside!

[@Tom-rc7oy]

Great advice Roy, thank you! I look forward to hearing more about growing plants from seed.

[@veganadventure5282]

solution orientated individuals are rare, most tend to just fixate on issues and expect others or money to do the work. thank you roy

[@LorenPaulsson]

The explanation of what things to learn about plants and how...and the permission to start somewhere...is so helpful. Thank you!

[@dosso9958]

Thank you, Roy! You have such a positive, approachable teaching style. I’ve got some to work to do!

[@gardener6480]

Thanks for the video, Roy. I am looking forward to the video about how to start perennials.

[@amyk6403]

I hope the black walnut complainer wasn't me.....but it may have been me. I didn't mean to be so negative and self-defeating. Thank you so much for addressing the walnut "opportunity." ❤

[@idagarcia1767]

Thank you for encouraging and sharing your knowledge!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Great information, I think I might try that with colored pencils that way I can get more of a visual color pattern as well. Thank you!🌷💚🙃

[@mignonnesvenezvoirsi6708]

thanks Roy for this great session, again! Can't wait for your seeding class! So much to learn on that subject...

[@JimAnderson1]

Great video showing us all a way a method to develop skills.

[@toniebotting7141]

Such great advice, thanks for sharing your knowledge.I will listen to your message again.

[@susankopczynski6033]

Looking forward to your video on growing seeds under a screen. Would that be a good outdoor project for school children who want to replace their sod with sedges? How do we get rid of the sod?

[@judymckerrow6720]

My concern is getting it right so I don’t have to do it again.🌷💚🙃

[@caterinaliberatore9478]

Such a great talk Roy. I can see how this encourages me as a visual artist as well. It is also very encouraging to know that it does take time to know a plant. Thank you

[@RoyDiblik]

Wonderful! thank you for coming!

[@queen_sophie7515]

Roy could you recommend a white tall echinacea flower? I was looking at White Swan. What do you think?

[@galengates9030]

GREAT ONCE MORE

[@RoyDiblik]

thanks for watching!

[@khanedgely6660]

Hello Roy! New to your videos. What did you mean by saying nothing grows on black walnut?!

[@RoyDiblik]

Some believe plants struggle beneath black walnut trees. I haven't really found that to be the case. There are many variables in such a situation (shade, soil, moisture, etc) so it's difficult to definitively conclude the black walnut is the problem.
