    🌱🌞Do you have a channel? 🦋🌿Do you relate to any of these?

    • @MonicaKatie

      YES! I can relate to just about all of it. Being introverted and self conscious of my appearance probably stops me the most. I only use my smartphone for recording because until I’m more consistent I can’t invest in a camera. I started because I enjoyed editing my videos. Maybe this year I can be a little more consistent. I appreciate hearing your experience. ❤😊

      I’ve been on RUclips for 10 months. Agreed on all points! I’ve seen you tweek things since I first watched your earlier videos…you’re always inspiring!
      Right now I’m just using my iPhone to film & edit with iMovie. I use my MacBook Pro to upload. Consistency is tough! Even finding the same day of the week to post.

    I enjoy your channel. When I’m having a bad day, I’ll find a garden tour video of yours with all the beautiful flowers to watch. That uplifts my mood. 😊

    Rosana, your channel is one of the most creative and visually enjoyable and beautiful. I like all the different ways you film.

    I really enjoy watching your videos. I too have a youtube channel, for very much the same reasons as you. I wanted to leave memories for my children and generations of grandchildren in the future. How amazing would it be to watch videos of my grandparents. Priceless!
    Also like you I am embarrassed when someone in person saw a video. In public I hide my phone then voice-over because I am too embarrassed to talk out loud while filming in public. I have fun making videos, I am not monetized yet but I enjoy it.

    I love your channel! Its positively become one of my top 3 gardening channels. I don't care which style you choose for the day, just keep doing what you do😂. Thank you so much.

    I have watched your vlogs for over a year now. I like your niche. Each one of my favorite RUclipsrs have a certain style that makes me tune in. You are one of my favorites. Happy New Year…Best wishes on the success of your garden this year. I can’t wait to see what you have in your lesson plans for us!

    I have a teeny, tiny channel. I started it because I had a new house with a yard that was abandoned for 10 years. So we had to plow down all the vegetation and plants and start with a completely blank slate. I started my channel because I wanted to document my progress. 2025 will be our 4th gardening season and when I look back I could have never imagined how much we accomplished!!! Plus, I'm super forgetful so its helpful to have a video diary of everything we've done. Half the time I can't even remember what I planted where LOL. Love your channel Roxana and I can personally say you have always been super helpful to me whenever I had a question. Thanks for all you do!

      Your yard sounds like the property we bought, same thing, the gardens had not been tended to for 10-15 years! Renovating the gardens and adding more has been so fulfilling but lots of work! Checking out your channel now💚

    Omg! I feel the exact same way. Thank you for this video. You have motivated me to just start filming and learn one step at a time. 💕🌱

    I recently started my RUclips channel and you have definitely been a great inspiration!❤ I love supporting a Latina gardener like yourself because we definitely need more representation! I can’t wait to see your 2025 garden plans 🙌🏽

    I am a "mood" garden RUclipsr as well. I have to keep it fun for me to keep at it. I hear you on the pressure to be consistent, I think I have a schedule that will let me do that and still enjoy the process. I enjoy your garden and videos and am inspired to improve my videography when I see them. 😊

      I hear you! The more you do this the easier it gets! A year or two from now things will get faster and you will be a lot better at saving time and doing this on your own.

    I love all your content, no matter what topics you discuss. I have learned so much from your videos. Keep up the great work! It’s all about sharing and learning and I appreciate your hard work. I wish I had friends or neighbors that are all about gardening, but that’s why I love watching your channel because it’s something that I’m passionate about. 💕

    Hey there!! Yes I have a new channel and can definitely relate!! I do love building my community and making garden friends as most of my real life friends are not gardeners!! So you could say RUclips “is” my people💚💚thanks for making this video, I’ve watched you for years and adore your channel💚💚

    I love the variety of your videos. It keeps it interesting. Some videos require a sit down while others don't. You do whatever pleases you. Thanks for sharing your gardening process and journey.

    I get the “low profile” point!! So awkward with the people I actually know. That’s what is holding me back from starting! Maybe you gave me the final push 😊

  • @Tinybackyardbotanist

    Thank you for making your videos. This and all of your content is delivered with a down to earth, relatable, teaching style that I appreciate. I don’t do RUclips, but I recently started an Instagram channel. It’s mainly for me as a diary of gardening trials and tribulations, but I also hope it inspires others to try to grow in their tiny, urban spaces.

    I don't garden to create content, I garden, so I create content 🔥 I can relate to so many of your points! Thank you! I'm always watching your channel from my TV, so I hit Like! I leave my comments on your IG!

    Unrelated but had to tell about recent spinach germination. I placed a flat outside on the patio in freezing weather because there were tiny white bugs and seen nothing germinating. Then I just had a 💡 moment a few days back and thought-I didn’t wait long enough for germination 😮. I ran out and brought just the spinach in and sure enough they sprouted today.🎉
    😂I even forgot to water them when I brought them back in until last night. Lesson learned about waiting. At least the bugs are gone 😂. I think I will winter sow some spinach right in the veg bed where I want them 😉.

    I do have a couple terrible videos on RUclips (not gardening) and I so appreciate your sharing this one. I’m so uncomfortable doing them but my customers ask for them often. I really need to get with it.

    I could do a channel but hate dealing with technology and editing. I’m an extravert. I post lots of pictures on fb and IG instead. Next yr when my gardens are a little more mature, I’m going to invite people over to lunch and look at my gardens. I do an occasional video but had trouble walking the past 5 yrs so it was difficult. My thing is making structures and adding plants.

    No channel here…..I don’t know enough to have a channel…..I depend on you and others! I enjoy your content!!! You are so appreciated by me! You’re doing a fabulous job !!! Keep on keeping on! I’m a true fan!!! Your videos are wonderful and I’m learning a lot from you! Your videos are so informative and helpful! I’m wanting to get into dahlias now! And I’m so scared to try! Keep encouraging us!!! Never doubt yourself!!! You’re teaching us SO much!!!❤❤❤

    Well thanks for making videos. I would like to, but I don’t think I have the time. I can imagine how hard it must be to set the cameras, ect. I enjoy the camaraderie as there are no nearby gardeners that I know and it’s a great outlet to see how others are dealing with weather, or just techniques.
    Keep up the good work 🎉
    The one thing I don’t care for are the creators that are in it only for the money. The ones that you also wonder-‘How does that neck hold up their head?’ The ones that have changed drastically in personality or content from when you started to watch. Lol, then there are those that have viscous faithful followers whether the creator is male or female and their audience hangs on their every word 🤮.
    You just keep doing your thing. You’re creative and I do enjoy chatting with other gardeners in similar zones and I know you do try very hard to interact while time still allows. I’m a long time gardener, but even we like to revisit old info or see something new-always learning especially with our changing environment.

    Love you sharing your experience on this topic🪴 Too few comments on my channel to relate the stress of dealing with responding to viewers😅 but I can definitely say that my smartphone is full of clips and videos that I’ve never posted because of some of the reasons you have so beautifully layed out in this video💚 it’s definitely not easy to do it all while also getting bruises and aches from the actual garden work which some of us actually do without any help🏡🪓🛠️💪🏾Sometimes I go out in my garden with the intention of making a good video and I end up spending 30min talking with a neighbors and the rest of the time I just enjoy looking at the plants by myself🧑🏾‍🌾 Also, because I have already failed miserably in the department of monitizatioin😅 I get to enjoy the blessing of being entirely free to post whenever I’m in the mood of doing so😊 I mostly view my YTchannel as a garden journal for myself and as a portal or an archive through which my kids, friends or relatives could use to see what I was doing in my garden at certain periods of time💚💚

    I SO relate! But I have no channel.😂 I wanted to start one so my kids and grandchildren and their children would be able to have some kind of an idea of who I am. My dear daughter is close to me, but I haven't seen my son for 10 or more years. Sadly, he cut us out of his life 2 years ago. I suspect PTSD from military service.😢 We still love him and pray for him every day. But, you put videos out there and who knows who will see them? And, I am not an introvert. Weird, huh?
