I really enjoy watching a gardener from Indiana. I enjoy many gardeners and channels but it’s great to see what works for someone in the same zone. Thank you for sharing!

[@rebeccazody1278]

Everything looks great. It makes me smile to see your husband doing things to make you and your garden happy. My husband will do zero and refused to eat anything from the garden. But I love my garden. This is or season and it is always a thrill.

[@annaizak8639]

You and your husband are such a great team. You you both created perfect garden. Congratulations. And I love your channel, you not only showing what you did, but sharing your knowledge and ideas. Thank you.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much!

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

I love what you all did to the alley-way area Roxana! It looks like a million bucks and your garlic is on its way- very healthy looking. Here's to a great harvest.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you!

[@Toya-Doing-Stuff]

Thx for sharing, you are doing such an amazing job at your gardens. Such great inspiration how to transform a small space!

[@GardenMoxie]

I need to get one of those garden helpers ... ha ha. Your hubby did such a great job on your raised beds. Your kitchen garden is gorgeous Roxana. Your greenstalks are looking amazing already. Wow! Great job!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thanks so much Sue!

[@sonjaszachta810]

You inspired me in your last video, to purchase another Green Stalk! I’d ordered the same Strawberries you planted, bare root, and planted them in 3 inch pots, and realized I didn’t know where I was going to plant them to flourish! I’d already filled my original Green Stalk with different types of lettuce, so now I will have another one to plant my Strawberries in. Thanks for sharing your journey, and know you are encouraging others!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment!

[@KristiB73]

Great job!!! Hope you start posting more, I've missed your face 🤗💙🌷

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you for saying that!

[@brooklynhomesteader3721]

Hi Roxana, I always enjoy seeing your garden at the beginning of the season and watch them grow into a beautiful space! Great ideas🎉🌿🌱

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much!

We were just talking about spring growing on Urban Gardener with guest Gardener Scott and I really never thought about direct seeding brassicas. For the first time I’m trying a low tunnel and started seedlings and all I really could have done was direct sow. I think under plastic it would get plenty warm to germinate. The Big issue is the a great Temp swings. Today we are 86*F 🥵and by the weekend freezing 🥶. Oh! You showed foxgloves! I don’t know what I have growing. They are either Canterbury Bells or Foxgloves or Both as I found a tag for each.🙄. The leaves look alike to me. It will be exciting either way. Remember foxgloves are poisonous so watch the pup. So excited about things I found growing under mulch that I either wrote off or forgot or Never did I think they would winter over. I found bee balm, red mum, baby’s breath, Veronica, Salvia, snapdragons and I’m Z5a and our zone stayed the same and I had carnations and artichokes come back!! 😄. And here I ripped up some artichokes last fall.😏. We had a super warm winter which I could learn to like, but I’m concerned for the fruit and this crazy cold returning as the plants advance too much in this heat we have. If this keeps up I will have a lot less I need to start inside. I can’t imagine carnations as perennials here or artichokes. We are getting some rain, but not near enough. I see and hear others getting tons of rain and WI still is in drought. Your yard looks great and hope you continue to miss the wicked storms. We are expecting some Tuesday.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Yeah, my pup leaves my plants alone thankfully! We have been getting lots of rain but nothing like bad storms.

[@PlainJane144]

Parasicas 🤣🤣 you are too funny! Your hair is getting so long! Looks great! The basketweave Greenstalk color you chose is beautiful. I love those.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Sometimes I don't even know the words that I am saying.

[@debichats8634]

Everything looks wonderful! I love the new area! And your Greenstalks look incredible! Great job and video! ❤❤❤

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thanks so much!

[@terridee9637]

Everything looks so healthy. What a nice upgrade from last year.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I think so too!

[@michellefrance1165]

Everything is looking amazing great job 👏 😊

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you! 😊

[@shorty8256]

Everything is coming along absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing your great ideas...your hubby did an amazing job a dynamic duo.... can't wait to enjoy more of your videos....l know that next year l will try winter sowing some flowers l learned from one of your videos...so excited for you!!! Abrazos!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Abrazos back! Thank you!

[@dawndawn6946]

Hi, Roxana! What a transformation of the driveway! Great work. I SO want a pink Greenstalk! I want it for my strawberry plants, but I have to admit that they are huge and happy and prolific in the ground. I hate it when the earwigs and ants get to them first! I just came in from transplanting corn and pole beans into the garden. Hopefully the weather has settled down now. We had torrential rains and strong winds and more rain and more winds. It’s been crazy! Have a great week!💖

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I REALLY wanted to get a pink one, such a cool color but I did well for the sale and I haven't ordered one... yet.

[@Holly_at_gypsyhollergardens]

Love the thumbnail ! ❤ Great video ! Everything is looking so good !!!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Thank you so much!!

[@aprilshomeandgarden]

Your irises are beautiful

[@patz780]

I love the transformation of the back of the garden near the alley. So inviting and productive! Everything you have growing looks healthy. A great start to the summer garden!!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I can't wait! Is it May yet?

[@daiseegray9110]

You have encouraged me to start a small kitchen garden. I had a small tree get damaged in an ice storm. Perfect timing to start the garden. I usually only plant flowers but excited to grow my own veggies. Thanks for sharing 🌼🐝

[@SoilandMargaritas]

You got this friend!

[@courtneycullen6289]

Girl, it is a pansy year! I was so envious of yours and then mine exploded a week or so later.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Pansies are weird, they can be slow for a while and all of the sudden they just go!

[@Youdoingnothing]

What a difference a year makes! Love seeing the progress!

[@Extranjera76]

Thanks for sharing.

[@user-sn1jt5sh2x]

Looks absolutely gorgeous, you are good with colors, Excellent job❤ your husband need to start his KZbin, to show all husbands and women, how to fix, how to make, ❤ push him to start❤

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Aww thank you! He is amazing but I don’t think he wants anything to do with KZbin 💋

[@capecodcottagegarden]

Your daffodils look gorgeous. Do you like them? I know you were on the fence about them.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Well… honestly, there is one variety that I absolutely love! It’s not the typical one, I can’t remember the name buts it’s like mini bouquet of daffodils and the fragrance is divine!

[@kimbailey742]

I have been using hemlock wood and cheap and holds up pretty well if anyone is looking for something cheaper. I buy it through the Amish.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Honestly I did not expect this to last this long… I can probably still get 2 seasons at least

[@kimbailey742]

@@SoilandMargaritas that's a good stretch in my book.

[@whyscimom5364]

Hi! Can you explain if you have 'pine straw' or what covering your strawberries in your Greenstalks? If I missed you explaining, I apologize! Just got my greenstalk and I am planting strawberries for the first time. Thank you for your videos. You have a calming energy that makes it a can-do attitude!!!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Hi, yes, I used pine needle straw, I find it at Tractor Supply in bags.

[@whyscimom5364]

Do you do that for moisture control for entire growing season or bc it’s still chilly? Thank you! Enjoy learning from you!!

[@SoilandMargaritas]

@whyscimom5364 moisture control and weed suppression

[@VictoriaGillis]

Can you please post the link for the green hoops you were talking about in this video? Thank you.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Yup, they are listed in videos description

[@user-sn1jt5sh2x]

What is the name of your daffodils? Are they coming back?❤

[@SoilandMargaritas]

I can’t remember their name, I have 3 varieties, in one of my my last videos you can see the info

[@lovelight9164]

Can you tell me the best minth to plant the garlic? I sowed some last fall and it seems to have drowned.

[@SoilandMargaritas]

You mean the depth? I pretty much buried them about twice their size, just like tulip bulbs. I never watered them, the little snow that we got and some of the rain lately have been the only water they got. Here is that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3ymhahslrBlqZosi=K6oXm73dVBUGDd2O

[@marychamberlain9535]

Did you make your beds out of treated or untreated wood?

[@SoilandMargaritas]

Treated, except this one bed I mentioned in the video because we had a beam that was extra from an indoor project.
