Perfect outcome to such a creative and colorful project. The Abique Drinking Gourd hosta resembles the smaller mouse ear hosta. Pronounced (ah-bi-que drinking gord). Abique, a historical family name may trace back to Britain and Ireland. Drinking Gourd may relate to the cup shape of the leaves as collecting and drinking water from a gourd. You have an amazing, interesting and super creative garden. I would watch this video repeatedly just because of the choice of music to the fun cleanup!
That was a day of productive work!! You got so much done, it's unbelievable. 🙂 I've got a little project going on and take a lot of inspiration from your gardens. Thank you! 👍
Standard mondo grass reaches a mature spread up to 1 foot wide within a year or two, but dwarf mondo grass needs two to three years under ideal conditions to reach its spread of 3 to 4 inches.
You have a beautiful garden. And I'm glad you're back on UA-cam. I'm watching the video, I'm happy for you! But why do you put so much organic matter in bags? Leaves, dry grass - it will perfectly improve your soil! Right on the spot. You don't need to take it anywhere, just dig it up and it will be great! Good luck, greetings from Kazakhstan!
Folks could learn so much by watching your videos. Leaf texture, the color, the size combinations of plants just beautiful. I’ve tried for many years to find the right evergreens to go in my space. I am in zone 4b. It’s been very difficult to find evergreens that are not fussy about the wind and the rain and the wetness. My space has been altered so it’s not so wet and I still have difficulty with the evergreen trees. However, I have a new 12 acre space to play with. It’s not so wet. I’m looking forward to gardening in a new location. And oh yes, some of my plants will be going with me if not most. Because of my area, not many people are gardeners.
Love how you "recycle" stuff in your garden. I had a huge mulberry taken down years ago, last year I used the knee high off cuts from the trunk to build a raised hosta bed in my shady KC backyard. With how wet your yard is, those hostas are going to get huge!
The name of your hosta would be pronounced Abique (Abeek) Drinking Gourd (gord) Hosta. j am not using dictionary pronounciation I am sure but you hopefully can see how to pronounce it. I Love what you did here. I have just used one of your ideas in a new garden. It was made in 2019 but has not really come into it's own until this year. I had a knockout rose on one end and big Yuccas on the other end with a huge space for annuals in between but it was like the plants in the middle got lost. So I followed your example and raised the center up like a berm. I love it and now can see peeks of the shorter annuals and perrenials that I wanted to put in the middle. Ty for all your great ideas. You know it is rare to see such an intricate garden in such a small space. Your garden has the feel we all want I think and that is to feel as if it goes on forever when you only walked a few feet out your back door and circled around. Wonderful!
Awesome video! Man, you’re really talented in landscape design!! So happy new videos are back. It’s a plus I live in the same state so it gives me a good idea what might do well here in KS.
I’m in zone 6a ( Michigan ) I love fountain grass it grows tall so it makes the eyes go up to look at. I’m gardening & watching you at the same time. Looks great 😊
Bonjour, Je suis en admiration devant vos jardin de fleurs 😍😍😍 je découvre votre chaîne et c est un plaisir pour les yeux de ragrder votre travail et votre passion 😍 j ai encore beaucoup beaucoup de travail avant que mes jardins soient aussi beaux que les votres..!😅 Merci de partager votre passion à travers vos vidéos 🥰 belle journée à vous 🌸
I garden in 7b. The watch for the seeds from the black mondo grass. They tend to reseed everywhere in my garden when I had this plant. Love All of your garden and your commentary.
Your garden is fabulous. I love the red coral bells and Jack Frost Brunnera. A very nice combination. Normally I hate monkey grass, but the black variety provides a nice interest.
YAY! So glad you're back with new videos. Love, love, love Hostas! In my area (Zone 9a) I have to deal with slugs though. I still try to plant them when & where I can.
Love your garden style, with the evergreens, rocks and rusty metal, it reminds me of something you'd see in Colorado. I'm so glad to see you back on UA-cam! I live around 40 minutes north of you and my sister lives in Gardner so I've been there a lot over the years. May I ask where you got the black mondo grass? I've never seen it before. I love your heuchera and hosta combination. I have a huge hosta called jurassic park and have started combing it with heucheras and I have become obsessed with the different colors. I saw in one of your videos you were at Family Tree nursery. I love the one 75th. Can you tell me the location of the one you were at? Keep up the great work. You give me inspiration to tackle our large yard in a different way. 😊
No need to cut black mondo grass back. Just pull off any dead leaves in the spring. I also really wanted them but was surprised at the expense. I got about 6 of them and when I sold my house I took 3 with me in a container. From last summer to now they have really outgrown the container and can be easily broken up to plant tons more! Something about them makes them pricey though!
I also would love to have the black mono grass in my garden, but it is too pricey for me. Love the hostas and coral bells you got. I just got a foamy bells which are harder to find. Your garden is shaping up nicely and by the end of May it should be perfect.
It all looked great. In order to grow hostas in my yard they have to be in full shade. I live in the southwest. It’s hot and dry most of the time during summer.
Very nice transformation of that area. I like all the color combinations. I wish I could get heuchera to grow big and full in my zone 7 garden. They just seem to dwindle away but I'll keep trying.
Beautiful gardens...where did you find that moon gate arbor? Thank you! That black Mondo grass likes more shade than sun fyi...I have some and I love it.
This is my first day ever looking at your UA-cam channel, and I must say I am enjoying it very much so you have earned a new viewer even though I ask, where did you get the driftwood.
Hey man, so happy to see you back, I've always been super in love with your garden! Compared to your past videos, since you came back the resolution of your videos is lower, and on bigger screens it gets quite blurry when you watch (only 360p on this one for example). I'm not sure if you are aware of this change or not, is there any chance you could go back to filming in 720p or higher, like you did before your youtube break?
@@moxiegardens8033 Awesome! My guess is that it could be some setting in the editing software that you use, when you export and save the final version of the video things can get weird if you don't have it configured correctly. Your kids can probably help you a lot in figuring this out, however if you need help I can reach out to you on instagram and try to give you a hand. Believe it or not, you helped me a lot with your videos when I was going through a tough time, and it's only fair that I try to help back where I can. Keep it up!
You have a nice garden. I left you quite a few compliments on your Instagram account, have to say it’s always a bit disappointing when you tubers ask to follow on social media but they can’t find the time to like a comment, answer a question OR even return the favor to check the garden of the person who’s constantly “liking”. We do like to see ❤❤ on our photos too 😂
I love hiding treasures in unexpected places. Like a treasure hunt. Got to find new word to use for all this awesomeness. Tfs cheers
How did I not know you're back??
Omgosh, you have no idea how happy I am to see you again.
Welcome back!
The Jack Frost adjacent to the black Mondo grass is a striking combo. Love it!
I say put another Jack Frost on the other side of the frog, it is looking great!
You are my favorite gardener!!!!!
You are so creative with different objects with your plants. I love the way this project turned out. The colors work so well together.
Perfect outcome to such a creative and colorful project. The Abique Drinking Gourd hosta resembles the smaller mouse ear hosta. Pronounced (ah-bi-que drinking gord).
Abique, a historical family name may trace back to Britain and Ireland. Drinking Gourd may relate to the cup shape of the leaves as collecting and drinking water from a gourd.

Stunning spot of the garden. Nice audible you called there with the layout.
That was a day of productive work!! You got so much done, it's unbelievable. 🙂
I've got a little project going on and take a lot of inspiration from your gardens. Thank you! 👍
I love how that area came out ! Always inspirational sir .😊
Mondo grass is mostly grown for summer interest. It grows extremly fast and large.
Standard mondo grass reaches a mature spread up to 1 foot wide within a year or two, but dwarf mondo grass needs two to three years under ideal conditions to reach its spread of 3 to 4 inches.

Love the log bed with hosta and heuchera. Beautiful
I love those hostas and that black Mondo grass. I have never even seen it for sale in my area. The log looks great there😊
Oh, how I love those large hostas! The combination of colors and plants is beautiful. So happy your videos are back. 💚🌳🌿
This is gorgeous. Love your garden.
Beautiful… I’m in Southern California and planted my first hosta today… hope it survives in our hot summers…
Awesome video! Man, you’re really talented in landscape design!! So happy new videos are back. It’s a plus I live in the same state so it gives me a good idea what might do well here in KS.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful creation in your garden.
Such a beautiful spot in your garden. I always look forward to your videos to see what great ideas you come up with.
Beautiful! You do gorgeous work and enjoy your video
Looks beautiful. I love your garden style.
I just found your channel and I’m loving it! I’m a plant geek for sure - and a lover of hosta especially. I want them all! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for joining me on my journey.
I’m in zone 7b and I have black mondo grass. It spreads so I have dug it up and planted in several places.
I’ve always seen it as Abiqua (a-bee-qwa) drinking gourd hosta.
Every thing is beautiful, all healthy plants ,the trunk and stones and frog ❤
Looking good!
The Jack Frost will do better in the shades area.
I’m in zone 6a ( Michigan ) I love fountain grass it grows tall so it makes the eyes go up to look at. I’m gardening & watching you at the same time.

Yes, black mondo grass is expensive and beautiful but they spread fast.
I think it looks great & I subscribed! It’s beautiful 😊

Wow small world right. Yes, the Black Mondo Grass is from Family Tree on 87th street. Hope this helps. Thank you so much for watching.
Yeah it’s name is just going to be Drinking gourd, I have that Hosta and never realized it had that wild name. 😊
I have black mondo grass and it multiplies. I’m in 6a and have been able to share and add to additional flower beds 🌼🐝
This is so good to hear. Just curious, do you have to cut it back in spring? Thank you for commenting.

Love this bed!!
I love hosta.. but I only have a small area that's just shade and I want some full sun hosta
Abiqua Drinking Hosta
I’ve never heard of it, but it sure is pretty
That looks amazing.
I also would love to have the black mono grass in my garden, but it is too pricey for me. Love the hostas and coral bells you got. I just got a foamy bells which are harder to find. Your garden is shaping up nicely and by the end of May it should be perfect.

Nice! Love the music!
This looks so good! Got me excited to get in my yard. 5b
Please check your video quality, only running 360p and not doing you and your garden justice. Otherwise, great to see the updates…👍
New subscriber….! What zone are you? Never mind. 6a. Wasn’t into the video before I asked. Beautiful garden
Beautiful gardens...where did you find that moon gate arbor? Thank you! That black Mondo grass likes more shade than sun fyi...I have some and I love it.
My brother and I made it. Thanks for watching.
This is my first day ever looking at your UA-cam channel, and I must say I am enjoying it very much so you have earned a new viewer even though I ask, where did you get the driftwood.
Thank you for joining me on my journey.
Well done, love your garden, where did you get the driftwood?
I just grab from different lakes and rivers when we are out walking. Hope this helps.
Hello, I’m from Albuquerque New Mexico and the hosta Abiquiu. Is a Tewa Indian name Abiquiu a town in New Mexico
We pronounce the hosta, 'A-bih-kyoo'. A as in apple, bi as in big, and quiu like the letter Q. Hope that helps 👍
I tried so hard but it just wasn't in the cards for me 😂.
Hosta is Abiqua drinking gourd pronounced AH BEE KUA 😂. Great video as always.
I tried so hard but... 😂😂😂
@@moxiegardens8033 you did great Mike! 😂
Abique: maybe Ahh beek

Appreciate the offer. My wife figured it out. Hopefully moving forward it won't be an issue. Again, thanks for the feedback. ✌️
What did you do with all the bricks? Saw you put them in your truck
Gifted to friends.
Think in front of the stump it looks hreat
A beak drinking gourd😅
Sharing to everyone of Jesus Christ, He is coming back. We are spiritually saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord God and Savior.
What does this have to do with hostas?
You have a nice garden. I left you quite a few compliments on your Instagram account, have to say it’s always a bit disappointing when you tubers ask to follow on social media but they can’t find the time to like a comment, answer a question OR even return the favor to check the garden of the person who’s constantly “liking”.

Will do better!! Thank you for the feedback.
