I can't even begin to imagine the stress you've been having, but I'm confident your fans and customers are going to come through for you once you're able to open your doors.
We did the exact same thing that you did only 38 years ago. Bought a run down greenhouse/nursery in Minnesota. My husband quickly learned to be the fix-it man for everything! We had super old oil furnaces. Nursery started in 1906 & they heated it with coal back then.
Happy Easter week-end dear Nicole 😃 You were well inspired to check the greenhouse upon your return from New Hampshire as leaving it until the morning might have resulted in a disaster as far as the Coleus are concerned. Thanks God that Brad is such a handy man and I can just imagine the stress you went through. You both most definitely deserve some extra chocolate cookies this Sunday 🍫! Lots of love from London UK 💚
So glad only a few losses. Good thing you decided to go check on the watering...could've been alot worse. I think Brad is a keeper!! Just think of all this stuff you're learning along the way...sometimes the hard way. I wouldn't have been able to sleep either. Always something! Hang in there guys!! You're really doing a great job!
It IS a Happy Easter thanks to Brad fixing the furnace. God Bless him! Ten coleus wasn't horrible. When money starts coming in, I'm sure Brad will be paid back. What a wonderful supportive family you have. Happy planting!
Though retired now, I used to be a CPA and I’m always concerned about cash flow. Every business is cyclical, and this time of the year will always be a time of all expenses, little or no revenue. My fingers are crossed for you. Will revenue begin again in May? Hold on!!!!
Oh Nicole ... I'm so sorry!! Keep on going though. Business is like a turbulent ocean with waves that never stop. You'll get through it and probably next week, an entirely new set of issues will pop up to deal with. LOL You'll be just fine!
Wow that could have been disastrous. Lucky you checked; even luckier you have a handy hubby😀. Question. Would covering the plants with frost cloth have helped protect them?
Big points for Brad! Good thing you checked in on them Nicole. Running a business is a lot of work. But, now you have a plan. Hindsight and all that... Peace
Thank the good lord you didn’t go to bed and when to the greenhouse!! Just a thought, could you have put a frost cloth over the coleus . They can raise the temp slightly. Maybe between the portable heater and the cloth that could help slightly. Not sure-just a thought. Very scary situation
There will be times when you will have to stay at your greenhouses all night. It’s tough but that is the price you pay to have your own business. It also helps to have a big hearted, genius for a husband. You’ll get through it but sacrifices are the norm.
I've installed like hundreds of those Reznor unit heaters. And fixed them hundreds of times. Great unit heaters. They direct spark . Ya. Blocked vent will shut the unit down. . Air switch unit
I wonder if your hubby could hook up digital thermometer that would let you know the temperature is for all the greenhouses remotely so you don't below or over a certain temp. I know you will have to wait a bit, but a good idea
It's not easy to run a nursery, or any small business for that matter! Have you considered heat pumps as a back up? I don't know whether they work for greenhouses, but they run on electricity, are efficient and reliable -- no fumes and a lot fewer moving parts than a propane powered system. We use them for AC and backup for heat in our house. Also, can you get some sort of remote alarm that would sent a message to your phone if the temperature in the greenhouse falls below a certain level? I know that more expenses are always an issue in a small business -- I hope you don't have any more late nights. Yay again for Brad! I don't get why so many providers don't deal with propane -- Home Depot won't install propane powered dryers -- I had to get my plumber to do it as a favor (the LG conversion kit is a pain -- that's probably why HD won't do it).
I doubt I could sleep. I'd be camping out with all the little babies. I've seen videos on heating small backyard greenhouses with terracotta pots and a big can of Crisco. I have never tried it, so I have no idea if it would give off any heat at all. Now I want to try it.
Yayyy good save! Whew, thank goodness you stopped in there when you did and Brad got right over there!! You truly are the most kind and lovable person! It makes me so happy to see how many wonderful people you have in your life to support you no matter what the need may be. Everyone needs a good supporting cast 🥰❤️
@@thedivide3688 I'm an old woman that can't even keep my own grandkids names straight. Please don't make me feel humiliated. I deleted my comment for you. 😢😭
Didnt you say you have temperature alarms on your phone to tell you there are unsafe temps in your greenhouses? I must have missed something. How did you not get any initial notification on your phone that the house was cold?
Whoa... SC here. Our high on Saturday was like 75 and today, Sunday, close to 85. Would gladly share some of that with you if I could. That's too warm for end of March. Can't believe you got snow and freezing temperatures.
Brad Pitt! Wow you’re amazing, love your videos. I never comment cause I watch them on my tv while doing laundry… but just wanted to comment and tell you I appreciate you and love your content!! More seed starting too pls 🤩
I’m really surprised that you didn’t lose more coleus. I have found that they really can’t handle temps under 40 degrees. Don’t ever get rid of that handsome husband of yours.
How fragile what we grow is. It takes months to grow, and it all can be lost with one freeze, forgetting to water once or getting too hot. Mine is all for personal use and sharing with friends. I can not imagine the amount of stress this causes! Thank the Lord, not much was lost!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻STANDING OVATION FOR THE UNSUNG HERO BRAD PITT!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just one question. Does Brad EVER smile? Maybe he’s camera shy?
Not all heros wear capes. Go Brad 🎉
A handy man is very handy to have. Good job, Mr Flower Hill Farm.
I can't even begin to imagine the stress you've been having, but I'm confident your fans and customers are going to come through for you once you're able to open your doors.
Brad to the rescue ! Thank you Brad ! Whatever Brad wants make sure Brad gets !!!! ❤❤❤
Yeah to husband’s who can fix anything!! Thank you Brad you’re a keeper well so is Nichole❤️
I'd set up a bedroom in the house just for nights like this.
omg what would we do without brad! You guys are an incredible team
We did the exact same thing that you did only 38 years ago. Bought a run down greenhouse/nursery in Minnesota. My husband quickly learned to be the fix-it man for everything! We had super old oil furnaces. Nursery started in 1906 & they heated it with coal back then.
You are blessed. So happy it is all resolved. New businesses is tough. Hang in there. 💕
How scary but Brad to the rescue. Brad is a genius!! I'm glad you trusted your gut and stopped by. Those babies needed comfort and support. 💞
Way to go Brad :) over here in NC and was scared to death for your plants. lol. Glad he saved the day
Yay everything is hardened off!!! Good to go!!!
Happy Easter week-end dear Nicole 😃 You were well inspired to check the greenhouse upon your return from New Hampshire as leaving it until the morning might have resulted in a disaster as far as the Coleus are concerned.

Good you listened to your intuition and stopped by the greenhouses on your way home, Nicole. Thank you, Grandpa. 💕🙏
Omh...so glad u just stopped by to check on them! That would of been awful to arrive the next morning to everything dead.
So glad only a few losses. Good thing you decided to go check on the watering...could've been alot worse. I think Brad is a keeper!! Just think of all this stuff you're learning along the way...sometimes the hard way. I wouldn't have been able to sleep either. Always something! Hang in there guys!! You're really doing a great job!
Aww sad when these things happen 😢 Come on warm spring weather, we need you! ☀️ Hello from the still cold west! ☺️☺️
Thanks Brad!!
Surprised to see how much snow you have. Ours has all melted unusually early.
I wish I could send you some warm weather
Hi Nicole so sorry you had some coleus died, you can just clip the good plant about half way and stick it in the pot it roots very easily
I hope you had a good cry to release the stress❤
Brad to the rescue! Love husband's!!! My hubs is helping me with large flower pots this weekend.
Oh my!!you need to watch this video and you can see three orbs floating..hmm who can it be!!
A Trent Reznor heater? Who knew?! 😂😂😂
It IS a Happy Easter thanks to Brad fixing the furnace. God Bless him! Ten coleus wasn't horrible. When money starts coming in, I'm sure Brad will be paid back. What a wonderful supportive family you have. Happy planting!
It's such a blessing to follow your dreams and have a husband that makes them keep coming true. Glad you found it in time.
Yay Brad! Our hero. ☺So glad there wasn't too much damage.
Grab a couple rolls of tuck tape for those corners to stop drafts for now til you can do the rest of Reno’s.
Good advice. My first college apartment had old leaky windows and duct tape did the trick!
Yay Brad! Great work! Glad you didn’t lose your plants💚💚💚
Thank God for your wonderful husband!!
What a stressful night! Brad is amazing! Fingers crossed… no more problems!
Oh honey you need a vacation and you’re not even open yet!!!! We are all in your corner 😘
Brad is a hero!
Plants were cheering when they see u walk in. Our savior is here they shout
Save the plugs!!!!
could you cover plants with frost cloth or the frost quilt?
Though retired now, I used to be a CPA and I’m always concerned about cash flow. Every business is cyclical, and this time of the year will always be a time of all expenses, little or no revenue. My fingers are crossed for you. Will revenue begin again in May? Hold on!!!!

I was on the edge of my seat! Omg Nicole you and Brad Pitt are both geniuses. So happy all is well ❤. Hang in there.
Omg i cant take this kind of stress mam!!!! Yikes. Why does stuff like this always happen when youre out of town.
Oh my gosh!
Wow that could have been disastrous. Lucky you checked; even luckier you have a handy hubby😀. Question. Would covering the plants with frost cloth have helped protect them?
we had about the same thing happen on a smaller scale but we still lost about 85% of our peppers so about 1800 or so it sucks lol
Why not get frost cloth?? I am glad you got the heater working.
Big points for Brad! Good thing you checked in on them Nicole. Running a business is a lot of work. But, now you have a plan. Hindsight and all that... Peace

Well done Brad 😂
And i said “please jus show me how to do it”😂🤣such a character

Great unit heaters.
They direct spark . Ya. Blocked vent will shut the unit down. . Air switch unit
Can you throw a bed in the house on the property?
Whew!
I wonder if your hubby could hook up digital thermometer that would let you know the temperature is for all the greenhouses remotely so you don't below or over a certain temp. I know you will have to wait a bit, but a good idea
This is as scary and stressful as raising kids. Of course, these are your babies. Disaster diverted . Brad to the rescue.
Brad👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He's definitely the better Brad Pitt 😂. What a nightmare - I'm so glad you had minimum losses!
🌻🌞
Can you not have an emergency bed in the old rental?

Sleep with the plants
👏👏👏 Brad Pitt 👏👏👏
I hope you are making some money 💵 from your RUclips efforts! I noticed the subscribers are creeping up! How can we help spread the word!
😢
Brad Pitt to the rescue!!
Thank you Jesus for your investment into men like her Husband 😊
And Brad
@@kaku8223? Her husband is Brad.

Don't worry we'll be up from Schenectady, Planning to spend lots. So happy you checked.

@@thedivide3688 Thanks, by the way her name is Nichole.
@@jayjohnson3724 I was correcting someone else who deleted their comment and her name is Nicole.
Do those temperature monitors send alerts to your phone when it gets too cold? Sounds like a good investment for the future
Brad is literally our hero 😍
Didnt you say you have temperature alarms on your phone to tell you there are unsafe temps in your greenhouses? I must have missed something. How did you not get any initial notification on your phone that the house was cold?
She has thermometers that she can monitor but apparently they do not send her any alerts.
Maybe have a reclina or sofa in the retail area for times like this.
Then you don't need to run back and forth.
Thank God for your husband!!! What a guy!!! Hopefully all will good for the rest of the season!!! Happy Easter!!!

Small businesses run on family and friends, without which.....life.
"I Can See My Breath!!" Flower Hill Farm" .... yes, but do you see dead people....?
I’m really surprised that you didn’t lose more coleus. I have found that they really can’t handle temps under 40 degrees. Don’t ever get rid of that handsome husband of yours.
Grandpa must have wanted you to just sing the coleus song some more to replace the ones that didn’t make the furnace failure! Way to go Brad!
YAYYYYYYYYYYY BRAD TO THE RESCUE !!!!!!!!!!
How fragile what we grow is. It takes months to grow, and it all can be lost with one freeze, forgetting to water once or getting too hot. Mine is all for personal use and sharing with friends. I can not imagine the amount of stress this causes! Thank the Lord, not much was lost!!
Good job Brad you are a #1 Handy man
Oh no Nicole. A sudden emergency. Coleus cannot stand 38 f . I think they need at least 45f
There is no way you came to NH to pick up awesome doors without it being at my BFFS place Nor East.
Would frost cloth have helped the more cold sensitive plants?? May need to keep some on hand if they would help some.
The screen shot for this video looks like a scene from a horror movie (maybe it is??) :O
You might need a guest room in the nursery for the future..lol
Yay, Brad!!!
My grandpa used to always eat those cookies. Hope there are no more problems.
Need to name a greenhouse after your husband
Teamwork makes the dream work!!!
Thank you Brad Pitt!
You're lucky to have a husband to the rescue Nicole❤❤❤
You could stuff an old shirt threw that open crack
Brad Pitt to the rescue!!!
Glad it turned out ok!
