I’m a long time farmer/gardener with no desire to do a RUclips channel. I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. They’re real and in a zone that most people can relate to. Every thing you do can easily be done by normal people. It’s so great! I watch another channel where the woman has paid help and thinks nothing of spending 5 thousand dollars on potting soil. And while it’s fun to watch…it will never be me. So thank you for being so real. Your garden is gorgeous.
I stopped watching that other channel on the delivery of the greenhouse that looks like a little vacation home. It's off putting when a gardener thinks nothing of planting "a drift ' of plants that probably would cost you or I $600++ (because we have to pay retail) or dropping $3000 to buy some trees. It's no fun to watch anymore when you're not learning about gardening and instead watching an unachievable continuous promotion for things I choose not to afford on a plot of land bigger than 1/2 my neighborhood. Talk about jumping the shark! Roxana has been my favorite gardener for a long time, introducing me to new techniques and aesthetics that I can literally duplicate in my own home garden (like nurturing plants from a clearance rack at the garden shop!) Love her garden and her vibe. She's a great teacher with a great sense of humor too. I share your love of this channel, Darlene. (edited for spelling )
Never stop talking!! You have a beautiful voice & I love the way you take your time to explain your processes without over doing it. You keep it real & that’s what’s great about you as a beautiful being. Congrats on your 20k plus subscribers. The fact that you really enjoy doing what you do & it’s not for the $$, is Admirable. 🎉
You just gained me as a subscriber. I appreciate you being real. Most viewers want gain knowledge of how to. Let the negativity go. Who cares. I personally don’t look at you I choose to listen to how smart you are and again try to learn. I am new to growing and I appreciate you sharing
Congratulations on reaching 20k subscribers! I first discovered your channel a few years ago when I was searching for information about Limelight hydrangeas. I really enjoy your content and appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos. I have a small urban garden and find your gardening content very relatable to what I am doing in my own garden. I wish you lots of success in 2023!
Congrats on your success! Like others have said, we appreciate your 'realness.' So many other garden YT channels (GardenAnswer, ImpatientGardener, etc) are cringe because of how hard they're trying to monetize and just become infomercials.
I'm a photographer. When I first saw your videos, I immediately fell in love with them! I love your perspective and artistic eye for what you do in your garden. Thank you for your inspiration!
Hello Roxanne, I started RUclips in June of 2022. I am very grateful form my 830 subscribers. I started out on my journey because I felt like God would not let me sleep or get rest in my soul until I started this journey. Everything I dreamt about it read about was pushing me towards documenting what I do in my garden. So first I dove into it with feeling very uncomfortable in front of a camera. Learning everything I needed to post and share a video from bits and pieces from other RUclipsrs. And secondly I can give my kids a legacy of my gardening. I do work full time doing ultrasound. I rely on this for paying bills and buying my plants. Lol. But now that I have been doing this for 6 months. I really dream that I can make a good part time job out of this. Congrats on your 20k subscribers. I feel if we are consistent with posting we all will achieve our goals.
Well holy smokes! Now I can't believe I found THIS video of yours Roxana, after just discovering your channel yesterday! Thank you so much for being so generous with your time to do this video and your sharing of your RUclips experiences. I'm a senior lady and relocated to the snowy UP of MI 4 yrs ago ... my downstate MI garden was easier to handle, but now I'm faced with all kinds of new gardening challenges. I have wanted to do something online with this garden, but I hesitate. I'm terribly un-photogenic, and I know next to nothing about how to make a video. But your words of wisdom here will now be ringing in my head ... not sure where to start, but perhaps I will give it a go! You and I are so sympatico ... I love to garden and am seeding like crazy as we speak ... I love learning the best ways to care for my large collection of houseplants ... and I discovered microgreens not long ago and am loving growing those! Thank you for all you do, and happy gardening!
. I really enjoy your channel because you are so down to earth and obviously love plants and diversity. This can't be said for everyone, and as soon as I'm tired of a utuber's easy come easy go attitude towards plants, I simply don't watch anymore. You have the size garden that most of us have etc etc. I kind of watched today's video out of curiosity, but I'm not a utuber, just a retired teacher and a gardener, and if you earn a little money for all your effort, then good for you. Keep the videos coming 😀 wishing you a very happy new year.
I love gardening and the wealth of information shared on RUclips. I have been curious about the world on RUclips and have entertained the idea of exploring. Thanks for sharing.
It was so good to see you today, even though I am not going to start a RUclips channel. Your transparency about the process will undoubtedly help those who want to become a RUclipsr. For me, I found myself interested in the process and am so glad that you persevered through those early lean times. The seed-starting and early planting seasons aren’t that far away. I’m so looking forward to watching your garden grow this spring.
I’m not planing to make video on you tube. I’m watching garden few channels just for pleasure, learn something new, got tips for choosing plants and garden equipment. I’m really enjoying watching your channel. I’m impressed how beautiful you garden is and how resourceful you are.
I've been watching you and several over RUclips gardeners and this is what inspired me to start my own channel. I want to be able to share my new experiences regarding as well as build confidence in front of the camera. Loved hearing your perspective on this topic.
This is a great video and super encouraging! I gave up on getting monetized and definitely got that feeling of "no one's watching this" and it got to a point where it didn't feel good or fun anymore. It's nice to see how much fun you have in your garden, and I'm excited to get back to that feeling.
You can do it Nikki! I truly believe with a little bit of patience this is something anybody can do! Some people just get there sooner than others, I saw a kid the other day get to 100k with 3 videos in one month 🙈😩🙈😩🙈😩
Thank you for being so transparent with your journey and channel! I have been working on my channel for a little over a year and am very proud to have reached the 100 subscriber mark. This video was very inspiring and encouraging to keep going!! Thank you again so much- you have no idea how helpful and needed this video was right now!! Best of luck for an exciting 2023!
Found your channel when searching for Limelight Hydrangeas and fell in love with your garden. The songs and picture quality is always beautiful. What I love most about your garden is its authenticity; it has a realness about it that simply makes it special, warm and charming. Learning a bunch from you. Thank you!
Thank you so much Wendy, I think that loving the process of making the videos truly makes a difference, I think that is kinda true for everything else 💚🦋
Wow! 20K is fantastic! I too would like to make videos of my non existing gardens. I have 2 acres with a tiny house. This year, we built the foundation of a 15x15 gazebo and dug a 65'x90'x10' deep swimming pond. My problem is I don't have a consistent income coming in. Therefore, I cannot guarantee that the gazebo will be built this coming year. I fear people will lose interest in the lack of video content. The other thing is I don't have equipment needed for the videos and I don't really have the funds for it either. However, I do have all my plants to put in garden area. They are all sitting in my veggie garden. I have 40 roses. 12 of them are climbers. I still need to install the post for them to climb on. 2 reblooming lilac standards, 2 variegated willows standard, 1 double flowering almond tree. a larch, a purple sand cherry standard, a smoke bush, 8 different kinds of hydrangeas and quite a few evergreens. I have much more but I think the list is long enough. I don't want to make the videos for money but to see the transformation of the property as we are doing it all ourselves. I love your videos. they are calming and makes me want to garden more. I suffered from iron deficiency and therefore I always have low energy. Thank you for sharing. You give me hope.
i really like your thinking, roxana. congrats for this great channel, i love that i can feel that you are not doing this for the money. i started watching 1 year ago. keep on going!
I really enjoyed this video. I specifically watched it because I want to start a RUclips video. I am so glad I did! You brought up those little annoying issues that I have been trying to ignore- like the time it takes to edit and how slow the start-up progress can be. Thank You!!!
Wow thank you for sharing and your sincerity. I am so glad RUclips provides compensation for these amazing helpful videos. Looking forward to continue following your garden into 2023 and beyond…
Thanks for providing this great information. I'm only here to gather information or design to help my Beautiful garden (Its just an Hobby for me🥰) Best of luck in 2023!!
I'm just a home gardener, I have been gardening for over 30 years on my property. I have been on several garden tours over the years. I know and can appreciate the pressure of putting your garden on display. I can't imagine the time and energy you must put into your garden and channel. Thanks for giving some insight. Congrats on your 20K subscribers! Keep the videos coming and wishing you more success in 2023! Bonny
Just ran into your chanel. Gardening is so relaxing and just being outdoors is amazing. Thank-you for sharing your journey. i just started a channel as well and hope it flourish like yours.
Love your channel. I’m so happy about your honesty. I was always thinking of posting videos and I just started. The main reason I’m doing it is because it makes me really really happy. Keep posting, ordinary gardeners, like myself enjoy watching you!
I watch your you tube channel because I love your garden, I love what you plant and look for ideas from you! I like to watch gardens evolve from a blank slate to something magical…your garden is a perfect example of that!!!
Thanks for this video. I learned some things and somethings about you I did not know. I subscribed last year and love your channel. Thanks for going over the frequency in which you post. Your were honest and up front with the visuals. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for explaining how everything works. I've often thought about starting a RUclips channel but had no idea how to even begin. ❤️ Your channel and Happy New Year! 🎊 🥳
Im a newbie here, Im a fellow urban gardener from sunny South Africa 🇿🇦, I started my RUclips channel 10 months ago. Thank you for valuable information.
Hello I'm trying to get back at starting my indoor hydroponic vegetable gardening channel, but it has been a struggle for me. I started over a year ago with my channel, but became discouraged and battling with depression and PTSD it's still a struggle. I hope to get back into the game and stay committed for the long run. Thank you for sharing this with us .
Thank you for this video. I think it was Genius and so thoughtful to your Viewers. As far as the haters go, they will always be there. You're a beautiful woman. 💕 I ❤️ your videos, voice and hair💞
Thanks for sharing, I also started my RUclips last year to document my journey as a newbie gardener… so I can remember what to do the following year 😂 and hopefully inspire someone and make some coins.
Your video moved me to tears. My teenage sons and I are starting a RUclips gardening channel for exactly this reason. As my father is aging it has me thinking about how to let my garden live beyond my years on Earth. I actually sell plants and seedlings in my local area and I'm constantly asked by customers how to take care of this or what I recommend to do for that and also wanted to start making the videos for my local customers to help with their gardening journey.
Happy New Year Roxana! 🥳 Congratulations on all the progress you have made! I’m not interested in making RUclips videos but that doesn’t stop me from watching yours. You’re just a super simple, relatable person who I learn something from in every video. I love all your content and look forward to 2023! P.S. I can’t believe seed starting is so close! Can’t wait for all those videos 😁
I am relaunching my youtube page in July. It will be urban agriculture and lifestyle. I have been pulled by how to niche down but be authentic to the fullness of skills and personality. Your video clarified and reframed a things for me.
As always thank you Roxana! You are such a genuine person and create the most beautiful gardens which I miss in winter but always look forward to seeing in the spring. The legacy you leave behind is priceless. I’m sorry you and everyone has to undergo negative comments and trolls but ignoring them gives them no platform. Don’t ever stop doing what you are doing and thank you for being such an incredible inspiration 🌷🌷🌷🌷🤗
I started following you sometime during the shutdown after having alot of time on my hands. Your videos have been so inspirational in ways you'll ever know! Thank you!! During garden season you are one of the channels I stalk 😉
I know I start watching gardening videos in mid January or early February when the seeds need to be ordered and I'm deciding what I would like to buy to put into my flower beds. Keep going girl. We love your videos.
I am a gardener but have very little extra time to do any videos of my own. I enjoy watching yours for similar reasons as others in that your size of garden is relatable to mine (but much prettier than mine). I enjoy the beauty that you put out there and I get inspired to do things and keep going. I appreciate your experiences and the sharing of what you do. I relate to getting excited about seeds, growing things, and making the space around you prettier. Thank you so much for your posts
This is so great - I've been thinking about starting a channel because we just moved to a new house and the yard/garden is very bare bones and I want to really transform it, plus you're one of my fav channels! thank you so much for opening up and showing us behind the scenes! edit: Also, Frasier Valley Rose Farm did a review of garden channels and I saw you mentioned in the comments by users as one of their favorite channels too
Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with us. I thought this was an excellent video. I especially love your comments about dealing with negativity. I love your channel.
Hello! I'm just an enthusiastic subscriber and appreciate you sharing your journey. I like your approach on when and how much you post because it feels more like a visual journal. Keep doing your channel and have a great 2023!
Thank you for your video and insight. I am starting out, while I motovlog it's a different area completely and filming style etc. I look forward to checking out your channel further. Thank you again and congratulations on your success.
Thank you for offering such transparency in the ups and downs of having a youtube channel. This video was so helpful! I recently subscribed to your channel and I'm glad that I did. Your videos are always so thorough and offer useful information that I can apply to my own garden. Hope you reach all your goals and more this year.
I had the feeling you have a photography background when I first came across your videos just the way you frame your scenes! Thank you so much for sharing these information to us. Very helpful!
Thank you for sharing! This video inspired me to start my own channel. I am having fun with this! I am so thrilled that I can now share my garden journey with family, friends, and fellow gardeners. Wishing you a great garden season from my chilly garden zone 4B in Ontario, Canada!
So informational and inspirational - thank you for sharing a bit of your journey. I often dream of creating a garden channel or something similar, but a number of factors always give me pause. You've done a wonderful job with yours and it's so entertaining, educational and relaxing. You help see that it's possible with baby steps!
I really appreciate the time you took to explain how things work on YT. I am not interested in starting a channel but was curious. It's hard to believe the highest amount of $$ someone made from YT last year was $400M - more than $1M/day. SMH. I find the YTrs that are more authentic, those that are not posting controversy, and those not in it for the $$ are the best to follow IMHO. I think it makes a difference. I enjoy your content from seed starting to harvesting, from flower arranging to rebuilding your raised bed area and in between. I also love your photography and music selection. HNY to you and your family Roxanne! May your channel continue to grow (and prosper).
I love you Roxanne, I love your style I love your garden. It has crossed my mind to do RUclips but I don’t have enough time!!!!. I think those who have a channel is absolutely wonderful and I admire them very much!!!!!!!!!! You do a fantastic job on your channel. It takes time and energy to do what gardeners do!!!!!!!!!! You are very knowledgeable and I appreciate your time and energy that it took to put this video together!!!!!!! Please keep making these videos, they are both educational and entertaining 😊 thank you for sharing and being you!!!!
Happy New Year to you and your family! I started watching your channel a year ago and became hooked. Your ideas and suggestions are easy for me to obtain because my garden is about the same size. I put a number of plants you suggested in my garden and have never been disappointed with the outcome. Keep it coming, and the love we all feel for you will overshadow the negativity from haters.
Thank you so much for what you do. Your future grandchildren will be very blessed for what their grandmother has accomplished. My God continue to bless you and yours.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I started my RUclips gardening channel just three months ago and am very much at the beginning of my journey, so it’s really helpful to hear your advice.
Congratulaciones!! I love me some Soil and Margaritas and happy for you hitting the 20k mark! You deserve it and so much more. Thanks for taking the time breaking down the numbers in such detail, I know many appreciate it. You always have such a level head and realistic expectations. I always feel as though I am talking to a friend as I watch your videos. Your video presentations are 2nd to none...absolutely classy! I truly enjoy following you on your journey Roxanna! happy New Year and here's to another 20K! 🤩🌱🍹🍹
Today I was searching videos on winter sowing and I noticed your video. I liked the way you presented the information. It shows your love for gardening and desire to spread the knowledge and love for gardening. Furthermore, I even listen to your journey on RUclips. It’s so honest and encouraging. Perhaps I will start a Chanel too since I love gardening, taking pictures, videos. I think the world is better and beautiful with gardens.
I have been watching since the beginning..I found you while searching for limelight hydrangeas, and your videos inspired me so much I planted a bunch that year! I love your video style, gardening style, how you explain and how real you are. This just cemented that for me with your openness to keeping us all involved in how this works and how it's going for you. It's that transparency that keeps people like me coming back..not fake, promotional videos on specific plant companies. Some of the people I used to follow became talking heads for PW and while I love PW, it's unrealistic and unenjoyable to watch! So I appreciate you and your hard work!
I am not planning on being a YTer. (Best wishes to you for continued progress!) I find your content wonderful & it feeds my soul, & I watched this video out of curiosity to know how much RUclips (advertisers) are rewarding what I consider A1 quality. Aside: You said you are enjoying employing diverse styles in your vids, & on that note here is unsolicited feedback: I don't think you've ever used stock videos & I hope you never do. I cannot stand them, & usu unsubscribe on the spot when a creator goes there. I think you already know this: it destroys one's "brand" & us viewers' feelings of having a (pseudo) relationship with you! You're doing great imho, your choices, directions, experimentations, ... & incredible warmth & integrity is why I'm here.
Thank you for this video! I subscribed to your channel about a year ago, but I didn't know you did this video! I started a Gardening RUclips channel almost a year ago, and I'm really hoping to be monetized in the next few months!! I've been wondering what the RPM is for the gardening niche, and you helped me answer that question. I loved hearing about your journey along the way!!
Hi Roxana! You ARE a successful YTber! I love that you are relatable! Thank you so much for all the tips! I usually don’t comment, but I was compelled to do so today!
I just found you this morning and I have already watched 4 of your videos! Your title is great! I live in Southern Arizona on the border and needless to say tequila and margaritas are my drinks!!
I am so happy you made it through the mean bullying, haters stage. I became more consistent recently and went from seven subscribers to 54. My goals are the same as yours to be better than I was the year before. I found your channel interesting in the early days and really noticed a big pop later. Thank you for sharing your journey, I did learn from it.🙂
Congrats on your success, I just discovered your channel. I'm doing the same too. Leaving a legacy for my children to hopefully continue. Gardening is a relaxing interest for me and my husband. We hope our channel will grow as we would like more people to discover our gardening in zone 11/12 in Hawaii. We just started in October of 2022, so we still have a lot of learning and growing.
I’m a long time farmer/gardener with no desire to do a RUclips channel. I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. They’re real and in a zone that most people can relate to. Every thing you do can easily be done by normal people. It’s so great! I watch another channel where the woman has paid help and thinks nothing of spending 5 thousand dollars on potting soil. And while it’s fun to watch…it will never be me. So thank you for being so real. Your garden is gorgeous.
Thank you so much for your kind words Darlene!
I hear ya!
Agreed! She's the best makes it more realistic
Agree completely.
I stopped watching that other channel on the delivery of the greenhouse that looks like a little vacation home. It's off putting when a gardener thinks nothing of planting "a drift ' of plants that probably would cost you or I $600++ (because we have to pay retail) or dropping $3000 to buy some trees. It's no fun to watch anymore when you're not learning about gardening and instead watching an unachievable continuous promotion for things I choose not to afford on a plot of land bigger than 1/2 my neighborhood. Talk about jumping the shark!

hey Roxanne - I know how you feel - been doing mine now for just over a year, a steep but enjoyable learning curve but very fulfilling

I’m really enjoying watching your channel. I’m impressed how beautiful you garden is and how resourceful you are.

Hope you get your inspiration and excitement back!!
THANKS FOR SHARING‼️
Thank you!
thanks for answering all those questions ❤
Thank you for being so transparent with your journey and channel! I have been working on my channel for a little over a year and am very proud to have reached the 100 subscriber mark. This video was very inspiring and encouraging to keep going!! Thank you again so much- you have no idea how helpful and needed this video was right now!! Best of luck for an exciting 2023!
Just checked out your channel. Count me in as subscriber 101!! Happy to support an enthusiastic gardener and always looking for fresh content.
That’s awesome! I wish you the best friend!

Thanks for providing this great information. I'm only here to gather information or design to help my Beautiful garden (Its just an Hobby for me🥰) Best of luck in 2023!!
So nice of you friend! 🦋
I'm just a home gardener, I have been gardening for over 30 years on my property. I have been on several garden tours over the years. I know and can appreciate the pressure of putting your garden on display. I can't imagine the time and energy you must put into your garden and channel. Thanks for giving some insight. Congrats on your 20K subscribers! Keep the videos coming and wishing you more success in 2023! Bonny
Thank you!
Oh yes - and a BIG congratulations to you, your channel, and reaching 20K+ subbies!
Thank you!
Just ran into your chanel. Gardening is so relaxing and just being outdoors is amazing. Thank-you for sharing your journey. i just started a channel as well and hope it flourish like yours.
I just started my gardening adventure and I want to share my love for plants. I'm not a pro but I just want to share.
Love your channel. I’m so happy about your honesty. I was always thinking of posting videos and I just started. The main reason I’m doing it is because it makes me really really happy. Keep posting, ordinary gardeners, like myself enjoy watching you!
Thank you so much!
Love your honesty.
I watch your you tube channel because I love your garden, I love what you plant and look for ideas from you! I like to watch gardens evolve from a blank slate to something magical…your garden is a perfect example of that!!!
Thank you so much! 🌿❤️🌿
Thanks for this video. I learned some things and somethings about you I did not know. I subscribed last year and love your channel. Thanks for going over the frequency in which you post. Your were honest and up front with the visuals. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for explaining how everything works. I've often thought about starting a RUclips channel but had no idea how to even begin. ❤️ Your channel and Happy New Year! 🎊 🥳
Thank you Lynn! It might feel overwhelming at first but once you figure out a few things it gets easier.
Im a newbie here, Im a fellow urban gardener from sunny South Africa 🇿🇦, I started my RUclips channel 10 months ago. Thank you for valuable information.
Very useful. Thank you for posting.
Hello I'm trying to get back at starting my indoor hydroponic vegetable gardening channel, but it has been a struggle for me. I started over a year ago with my channel, but became discouraged and battling with depression and PTSD it's still a struggle. I hope to get back into the game and stay committed for the long run. Thank you for sharing this with us .
Thank you for this video. I think it was Genius and so thoughtful to your Viewers. As far as the haters go, they will always be there. You're a beautiful woman. 💕 I ❤️ your videos, voice and hair💞
Thank you so much!💇🏻♀️
Thanks for sharing, I also started my RUclips last year to document my journey as a newbie gardener… so I can remember what to do the following year 😂 and hopefully inspire someone and make some coins.
I'm so glad you stuck it out. I share the same zone so your information helps me so much.
Thank you friend! 💛🌼☀️
Your video moved me to tears. My teenage sons and I are starting a RUclips gardening channel for exactly this reason. As my father is aging it has me thinking about how to let my garden live beyond my years on Earth.
I actually sell plants and seedlings in my local area and I'm constantly asked by customers how to take care of this or what I recommend to do for that and also wanted to start making the videos for my local customers to help with their gardening journey.
You got this friend!
Thank you so much for doing this video, I’ve always wondered how people got paid from Utube. This was very helpful!
Happy New Year Roxana! 🥳 Congratulations on all the progress you have made! I’m not interested in making RUclips videos but that doesn’t stop me from watching yours. You’re just a super simple, relatable person who I learn something from in every video. I love all your content and look forward to 2023! P.S. I can’t believe seed starting is so close! Can’t wait for all those videos 😁
Happy new year!! Just a bit more before all the seed starting videos start!
Very interesting to see what your motivation was to start a channel and how your channel is growing 🌱👍🏼
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you! This information was very helpful for me. Merry Christmas to you and your family!❤
I am relaunching my youtube page in July. It will be urban agriculture and lifestyle. I have been pulled by how to niche down but be authentic to the fullness of skills and personality. Your video clarified and reframed a things for me.
As always thank you Roxana! You are such a genuine person and create the most beautiful gardens which I miss in winter but always look forward to seeing in the spring. The legacy you leave behind is priceless. I’m sorry you and everyone has to undergo negative comments and trolls but ignoring them gives them no platform. Don’t ever stop doing what you are doing and thank you for being such an incredible inspiration 🌷🌷🌷🌷🤗
Thank you so much Chris! I appreaciate it.
Very informative!!!💙
Thank you
I have NO interest in being a RUclipsr but I have wondered how RUclips works. This video was so interesting. Thank you sharing your journey.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video Roxana!! You’re amazing and forever will be!❤
Thank you so much M!
I started following you sometime during the shutdown after having alot of time on my hands. Your videos have been so inspirational in ways you'll ever know! Thank you!! During garden season you are one of the channels I stalk 😉
I know I start watching gardening videos in mid January or early February when the seeds need to be ordered and I'm deciding what I would like to buy to put into my flower beds. Keep going girl. We love your videos.
Thank you! 😘😘
Love your channel and your peaceful spirit.
Thank you so much!
I am a gardener but have very little extra time to do any videos of my own. I enjoy watching yours for similar reasons as others in that your size of garden is relatable to mine (but much prettier than mine). I enjoy the beauty that you put out there and I get inspired to do things and keep going. I appreciate your experiences and the sharing of what you do.
I relate to getting excited about seeds, growing things, and making the space around you prettier.
Thank you so much for your posts
Thank you so much Melissa!
I'm starting a channel!!!! You are doing awesome!!!!
I live in southern Indiana and I have enjoyed your videos Sure hopefully the real spring gets here soon 🙂
We are so close! I need those summer days already!
This is so great - I've been thinking about starting a channel because we just moved to a new house and the yard/garden is very bare bones and I want to really transform it, plus you're one of my fav channels! thank you so much for opening up and showing us behind the scenes! edit: Also, Frasier Valley Rose Farm did a review of garden channels and I saw you mentioned in the comments by users as one of their favorite channels too
Awww thank you! I’ll have to check that channel!
Very informative and honest. I learned a few things.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with us. I thought this was an excellent video. I especially love your comments about dealing with negativity. I love your channel.
Thank you so much Sue! I am happy that you are here and I know you will do amazing with whatever you decide to do.
TY for making the video. I also began seriously making youtube gardening content on youtube because it is my passion. This is awesome inspiration :)
Awesome! I wish you all of the best with your new adventure!
Amazing progress! Love all your videos, especially the begonia and coleus seedling videos. So nice of you to share this info, very encouraging!
Thank you so much!
I loved hat video too!
Hello! I'm just an enthusiastic subscriber and appreciate you sharing your journey. I like your approach on when and how much you post because it feels more like a visual journal. Keep doing your channel and have a great 2023!
Oh I like that, a visual journal! Thank you for being here Nikki.
Roxanna,
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your channel very much.
Thank you so much 🌷💛🥰
Thank you for your video and insight. I am starting out, while I motovlog it's a different area completely and filming style etc.
I look forward to checking out your channel further. Thank you again and congratulations on your success.
Thank you for offering such transparency in the ups and downs of having a youtube channel. This video was so helpful! I recently subscribed to your channel and I'm glad that I did. Your videos are always so thorough and offer useful information that I can apply to my own garden. Hope you reach all your goals and more this year.
I had the feeling you have a photography background when I first came across your videos just the way you frame your scenes! Thank you so much for sharing these information to us. Very helpful!
Thank you Lyn, I hope it was helpful.
I love your casual approach and pure love of gardening 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for sharing! This video inspired me to start my own channel. I am having fun with this! I am so thrilled that I can now share my garden journey with family, friends, and fellow gardeners. Wishing you a great garden season from my chilly garden zone 4B in Ontario, Canada!
Good luck 🌿🌿🌿❤️❤️❤️
@@SoilandMargaritas Thank you!
So informational and inspirational - thank you for sharing a bit of your journey. I often dream of creating a garden channel or something similar, but a number of factors always give me pause. You've done a wonderful job with yours and it's so entertaining, educational and relaxing. You help see that it's possible with baby steps!
Baby steps is better than no steps at all! Good luck!
I really appreciate the time you took to explain how things work on YT. I am not interested in starting a channel but was curious. It's hard to believe the highest amount of $$ someone made from YT last year was $400M - more than $1M/day. SMH.
I find the YTrs that are more authentic, those that are not posting controversy, and those not in it for the $$ are the best to follow IMHO. I think it makes a difference.
I enjoy your content from seed starting to harvesting, from flower arranging to rebuilding your raised bed area and in between. I also love your photography and music selection.
HNY to you and your family Roxanne! May your channel continue to grow (and prosper).
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really like this video.
I've followed you for quite awhile now and I really appreciate the hard work you do.
Thank You
I appreciate that Robbin!
I love so much about this video. Thank you for sharing your journey. You are an inspiration!
Thank you!
Very interesting content. Thanks for sharing
I love you Roxanne, I love your style I love your garden. It has crossed my mind to do RUclips but I don’t have enough time!!!!. I think those who have a channel is absolutely wonderful and I admire them very much!!!!!!!!!! You do a fantastic job on your channel. It takes time and energy to do what gardeners do!!!!!!!!!! You are very knowledgeable and I appreciate your time and energy that it took to put this video together!!!!!!! Please keep making these videos, they are both educational and entertaining 😊 thank you for sharing and being you!!!!
You are so welcome Janice! I appreciate your kind words!
Happy New Year to you and your family! I started watching your channel a year ago and became hooked. Your ideas and suggestions are easy for me to obtain because my garden is about the same size. I put a number of plants you suggested in my garden and have never been disappointed with the outcome. Keep it coming, and the love we all feel for you will overshadow the negativity from haters.
AWWW Thank you! 💚💛🌿🌼☀️🦋
This is so insightful. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! 🌿
Love your channel!
Roxana, your channel is very relatable. I like that you have your why and even during the difficult times you focused on it. You rock!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for what you do. Your future grandchildren will be very blessed for what their grandmother has accomplished. My God continue to bless you and yours.
Thank you! 🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing your experience! I started my RUclips gardening channel just three months ago and am very much at the beginning of my journey, so it’s really helpful to hear your advice.
Good luck on your journey!
@@SoilandMargaritasThank you! :)
Congratulaciones!! I love me some Soil and Margaritas and happy for you hitting the 20k mark! You deserve it and so much more. Thanks for taking the time breaking down the numbers in such detail, I know many appreciate it. You always have such a level head and realistic expectations. I always feel as though I am talking to a friend as I watch your videos. Your video presentations are 2nd to none...absolutely classy! I truly enjoy following you on your journey Roxanna! happy New Year and here's to another 20K! 🤩🌱🍹🍹
Thank you so much AJ! I appreciate you being here!
Today I was searching videos on winter sowing and I noticed your video. I liked the way you presented the information. It shows your love for gardening and desire to spread the knowledge and love for gardening. Furthermore, I even listen to your journey on RUclips. It’s so honest and encouraging. Perhaps I will start a Chanel too since I love gardening, taking pictures, videos. I think the world is better and beautiful with gardens.
Well said! The world need more gardeners!
Really enjoy your videos, the ti.e you take to share your garden and "our" hobby is priceless.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have been watching since the beginning..I found you while searching for limelight hydrangeas, and your videos inspired me so much I planted a bunch that year! I love your video style, gardening style, how you explain and how real you are. This just cemented that for me with your openness to keeping us all involved in how this works and how it's going for you. It's that transparency that keeps people like me coming back..not fake, promotional videos on specific plant companies. Some of the people I used to follow became talking heads for PW and while I love PW, it's unrealistic and unenjoyable to watch! So I appreciate you and your hard work!
I hope your hydrangeas become a lovely part of your garden!
I am not planning on being a YTer. (Best wishes to you for continued progress!) I find your content wonderful & it feeds my soul, & I watched this video out of curiosity to know how much RUclips (advertisers) are rewarding what I consider A1 quality.
Aside: You said you are enjoying employing diverse styles in your vids, & on that note here is unsolicited feedback: I don't think you've ever used stock videos & I hope you never do. I cannot stand them, & usu unsubscribe on the spot when a creator goes there. I think you already know this: it destroys one's "brand" & us viewers' feelings of having a (pseudo) relationship with you!
You're doing great imho, your choices, directions, experimentations, ... & incredible warmth & integrity is why I'm here.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video! I subscribed to your channel about a year ago, but I didn't know you did this video! I started a Gardening RUclips channel almost a year ago, and I'm really hoping to be monetized in the next few months!! I've been wondering what the RPM is for the gardening niche, and you helped me answer that question. I loved hearing about your journey along the way!!
Thank you so much for your transparency! I really appreciate it and love your videos. 💕🌱 Best of luck for 2023.
You are so welcome!
This video was great! I’ve been thinking about making a RUclips channel. I’m glad that you made this video.
Thanks Jennifer!
Hi Roxana!
You ARE a successful YTber! I love that you are relatable! Thank you so much for all the tips! I usually don’t comment, but I was compelled to do so today!
I appreciate you taking the time to comment Terry!
@@SoilandMargaritas yw💜😊
I just found you this morning and I have already watched 4 of your videos! Your title is great! I live in Southern Arizona on the border and needless to say tequila and margaritas are my drinks!!
🫶 Welcome friend! 🍹
I am so happy you made it through the mean bullying, haters stage. I became more consistent recently and went from seven subscribers to 54. My goals are the same as yours to be better than I was the year before. I found your channel interesting in the early days and really noticed a big pop later. Thank you for sharing your journey, I did learn from it.🙂
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Congrats on your success, I just discovered your channel. I'm doing the same too. Leaving a legacy for my children to hopefully continue. Gardening is a relaxing interest for me and my husband. We hope our channel will grow as we would like more people to discover our gardening in zone 11/12 in Hawaii. We just started in October of 2022, so we still have a lot of learning and growing.
Welcome!
Gardening 4 years and love the tips.
Wonderful! Thank you for watching!
This was fascinating. Love what you do - keep doing it your way!!
Thank you!
Love your channel Roxana, you are so relatable and very sweet and knowledgeable ❤ Happy New Year and much success for 2023, zone 7a, Long Island Ny.
Happy new year Elizabeth! 💚🌿🌼🦋
Thank you for sharing this information. Very interesting and you keep going your awesome!
Thanks for watching!
