    Love your jacket/ coat..love to have seen your navy blue outfit 🙂💙🙌🌲 I'm growing my first Boxwoods. Love to buy more. Happy gardening!!🌲🌿💚

    My favorite is Green Velvet. Looking really good right now with the new growth along my walkway.
    Stays green year round and very low maintenance. Neighbors like them.
    Been three years so I guess they're in a good place.

    Linda, i think small ball shaped boxwoods planted down the entire brickwall along the side garden and sidewalk would look amazing. The boxwoods will enhance the entire side garden and your propert, along with the plants that you've already planted.

    HAPPY GARDENING!

    I’m a little late to the party but as I approach my 70’s, I’ve in the last 4-5 years have planted many boxwoods. I’ve been anticipating a need for a lower maintenance garden, boxwood, flowering shrubs and a few tough as nails perennials, that I can’t part with (yet) is my direction. I’ve been gardening for more then 35 years and it’s funny but I still feel like a rookie, so thanks for the all the advice.

    I took your advice and just started to hire some help with the muscle work but I’m in full on gardening mode when they are here. My gardener told me the other day that I wasn’t quite ready yet for an intervention but was pretty damn close! Best compliment ever! 😂😂😂

    Linda. Would you be good enough to share your navy sweatsuit under your leather coat as you discuss Better Boxwood?! Very good looking.

    I like the cone and ball, we still don't see Better Boxwood here in Utah, thankfully we also don't have the blight yet. My backyard could be devastated in the night if it came here :: (
