I WAS going to bed, but I’ll wait until I finish watching!
Me too.🎉
Haha..same here!
Same here!
Yep!!!
Same! 🌸😄
Please tell Brad he DOES have his fans, & yes, he IS handsome! Guys with tools are my favorite. What would we do without them? It's happy to watch your partner & family helping you live your dreams!
That tractor work out great. I am so excited to see your new flower garden.
Those rows are so perdy! Can't wait to see your planting video. Brad is so good to you. He's your lobster! Peace Girlfriend!
Wow! Good equipment and a great husband make a huge difference. So glad you have Brad Pitt and that wonderful tractor. 💖😊🦋🕊
Aannddd their off.. Cheers to a fresh year in the Cut Flower Season!! I get to start planting cool flowers on Sunday too🌱🌱🌱⚘🌼🌻
Working smarter not harder, yay for these tractor attachments!
I could have majorly used this years ago! What a dream! And Steady Eddie Brad at the wheel. You might have to leave for time at the nursery, but this will save you the difference in time in the long run. Can't wait to see beautiful rows of seedlings against their white background!
I am going to suffer later today...was battling the insomnia demon and then was about to doze off at last (4am) & then your video popped up. No way I could sleep knowing it was there lol. You have me hooked on your marvellous journey kiddo....to my own detriment (alarm goes off in 4hrs) luckily I work from home and am my own boss!!😁😁 Just love your enthusiasm & energy 💜🩵💙💚💛🧡🩷
So happy for your many new successes! I was overjoyed watching your grand opening and almost broke out in happy tears for you! 😅
Wow, that is so cool!!! Amazing how fast it lays down!! Good luck with everything. You will be one tired lady with all these jobs😊
Beautiful….ROCK STAR 🎉😊
wow thats amazing, pays to have the right tools!!!!
I have to say that I usually hate intros and fast forward them. But yours is so peaceful and inviting (and short). I always listen to it. Watching your videos is altogether relaxing
Brad is handsome! Tell him that he doesn’t have to work for that compliment! You two are a beautiful, HARDWORKING couple. We are rooting for you to succeed and make $$$$$$ “hand over foot”! Love 6ou and wish8ng you the best. I wish I lived closer so I could be a customer. I hav3 two raised beds for cut flowers. Wish I had a man like Brad! I love you too Nicole. 😝💕🌷
Meanwhile...back at the farm!! So nice to see bed prep..and I love that equipment! The drip lines will make it so much easier for you. I didn't know it could do that! I'm still burning holes in reusable plastic..but I only need a small amount compared to you. That being said; I wouldn't mind trying the 360 but I can't make all those rows by hand. I hope you get some planting done ...raining here ,too, next several days . Good Luck!!
This is the single best attachment for cut flowers! Loved it last year love it again!
So exciting! So happy you have that tractor! I'm so excited you have drip now! I have drip for my raised beds vegetable garden & my cutflower farm, but I have a lot of elbows & yes & things I'm going to have to take a whole day probably & lay Enright out, make all the cuts, etc. But it's going to be so nice to not have to spend an hour or more a day watering in all the direct sown seeds or new transplanted transplants (until they're nice and rooted in) 🙏
A thing of beauty! I've been watching your progress since '21. Very proud of you guys.
This is such a brilliant system! Thank goodness, because you have so much on your plate. 💐🌷❤️
What a great investment for that attachment. You literally did the whole field in less time than it takes for one bed by hand! Two thumbs up!
That bed maker is awesome. I wanna play....
Never thought this city girl, born and raised in Los Angeles, would be living in Kentucky and watching a video about laying down a farm row, yet here I am. I was fascinated! Although I grow flowers on a small scale just for personal use, I really enjoy learning about the inner workings of a production farm. I remember seeing large agricultural fields on our drives up the California coast to see my grandmother in Ventura. I was always so curious about the long rows, the long tunnels, etc. I would see. It's so interesting to watch these types of videos because it demystifies it for me and gives me a new appreciation for what farmers do to produce the end product we all enjoy. Thanks for sharing this!
Those rows look so satisfyingly ready for beautiful flowers!!! Can't wait to see all the colour that comes up there!! Loving your journey here!
So satisfying!
Thank you for posting this..We are starting up a non profit farm to grow food for local food pantries..We have an old Kubota and an old bed maker that we werent completely sure how to use....we did it all manually last year andas you said its a lot of work....Really good informative video
OK that was just plain impressive. There’s nothing else to say other than I’m very happy for you and I hope everything continues to work out and as I said very impressive. Good job Brad and maybe smile a little bit more man. after being married for 32 years, you will realize there’s nothing more important than your wife and the love that she has for you and you will be more than willing to do whatever she need you to do and be very happy doing it. I know how it is to be you all’s age and you hussel and bustle,and all the craziness of working and doing the farm and all that stuff, it’s hard to smile sometimes but trust me there’s gonna come a time and that’s all you can do is smile, knowing that you have a wife that loves you by your side believe me it will happen I promise .
Agree. He seems like such a grump.
So awesome! Love the mulch,love how Brad does it so expertly.hope it makes This the best year for you
Very exciting still don't know how you do it all. First time watching a bed layer pretty cool.
As much as I enjoy the nursery content I was so happy to see farm footage this morning ❤
Those rows are terrific with mulch and trip tape at the same time. Mechanization makes a difference! My back hurts just thinking about digging by hand, especially with wet soil.
Mr. Brad may want to add weight to loader bucket (scoop of dirt, drum fill with water) to keep front wheels pulling straight.
Serena had trouble with Yarrow that came back as it was infested with bugs. I think you had the same situation with something. Hope you have some new Yarrow to plant too.
I was surprised when I was a buyer at the biggest wholesale flower auction in Canada where I learned retail sales of flowers are lowest in the summer when demand for flowers falls off substantially. My point is small flower growers grow and try to sell flowers at a time when demand is at its lowest. So much work and the only way to make a profit is by branching out and making content or working another job to support a flower farm.
Love watching ur videos. Love ur joy ur so bubbly. Love ur Greenhouse. So proud for u. 😊
Wow.. 💚 Interested to learn how you connect your irrigation to the tape Nicole Brad. ?
I’m so excited to see how this works for you. If the tractor can lay down the weed barrier and the drip line at the same time that would be awesome!!! It would help me convince my husband to get this for our tractor!!!😊
I love getting surprised with your videos.
Love your energy and inspiration. I look forward to every single post and have learned so much from you sharing your experiences 😊
So excited for you! Awesome ❤🌱🌞
That is amazing! I’m so happy for you Nicole! Thank you for sharing the process.
it's the final rooohoooo 😀
wow snazzy set up....thank you for sharing🌺🌻🌼🌷
How exciting, Nicole! I’m so happy for you🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I can’t wait to see those rows all filled in. It’s going to be spectacular 🤩
I love white socks.
Yay🎉❤❤❤ we're in the rain I can't wait to plant this year. In MN feels like spring is barely here got my first daffodil bloom today.
What a cool trick! I love it too.
I have seen how vegetables are planted with the bio-plastic.
How do you plant flowers using this method? I'd love to see it.
Yes flower season before you know it 😀
Ok, I am amazed how much you plant. I made a large garden this year, but it's nothing compared to just this portion of your farm.
2 videos in 1 day! Lucky me 🍀
Wow! That is absolutely fricken amazing! This is going to help you out so much with your time from having to water and weeding! I can’t wait for the flower plantings and see how it all works! Maybe the only other thing that I would do is go buy some landscape fabric or some straw and lay in between the rows to really cut down on the weeds there! I have the 25 year kind and it’s awesome and very thick almost like material. I know it comes in 50 feet for sure but idk about 100 ft. I am sure there probably is some out there somewhere.
Nice vid. My girlfriend plants cut flowers I'm trying to get her to change over from totally organic to Growing them on black plastic and grip tape
What an amazing piece of kit, saving you so much time and hassle. Loving that yarrow row, it’s going to be lush ❤ Many congrats on your nursery opening, you and your team have achieved so much, a fantastic job. You’ve inspired me to grow oodles of seedlings for a local charity garden this year, thanks Nicole! xx
Is the mulch biodegradable?
So jealous of your beautiful soil without ROCKS! Did you get your soil tested before making your beds? Your ambition and growth in the few years of starting to grow cut flowers is astounding along with purchasing your nursery and getting it filled to the brim with everything in under the sun! You are one amazing woman! The love of your whole family helping you is priceless to boot!
So happy to see some FHF footage!!
With the drip tape, what happens if it clogs? I guess if it moves around with the water pressure, it is what it is? I don't have drip, but I see so many people using staples to anchor it.
That bed maker is drool worthy for sure. I won't discuss how long it takes me to prepare a bed. 😂
Yayy for flower season!! So excited to see what else you have in store for the farm!!!
wow....
Wow that is awesome!😊
Thank you for sharing. We have some tweaking to do with our bed Maker. Had some areas that had dips in the middle.
I would love to know how the white side did this year! We had so much rain and bad weather on the east coast. I don’t know if I should go for black, white or grey for next year!
That was exciting to watch!
Having drip tape down will make a world of difference. I learned recently about pulse watering with driptape. Uses half the amount of water. I listened to Jenny Loves ( No till flowers) podcast about it. I’m sure you’ve heard of her. If you find time worth a listen
Love that bed maker, i hope automatic drip tape is a huge help.
My statice and rudbeckia are not in the ground either, and I'm in zone 7. I imagine they'll still bloom for me eventually, but maybe I should get on that! Can't wait to see your flower farm blooming again :)
I'm in zone 3 and want to plant my rudbeckia.... You must be late
@@helenachase5627 I definitely am, they're quite sad in their trays!
Fun to watch, I’ve never seen that done before. Does your husband have a full time job also? 😊
Why do you do the blue side up on the drip tape? I’m just learning as I go. I always have put the drips facing down.
Woohoo! I’m so glad you have automated tools to make your garden beds ready so quick and easy. If you plant your lisianthus out now, what would you do if you have a frost? My poor lisianthus are still in their original cell trays. Thanks to your advice last year, I’ve successfully grown First Love and Champagne lisianthus from seeds and had good germination. I’m hoping I get them growing in the garden, but my last frost date is the end of May.
Lissies can handle cold in the low 20s I should not see those temps again!
Just had a heavy frost here in Canada zone 5 and no trouble with the Lisianthus, snapdragons, stock or flowering cabbage!
They handled it like true Canadians😂
Just curious why is your drip tape not more evenly spaced out? Can that be adjusted to be spread more to the outer edge?
Brad Pitt. You ARE handsome and Nicole said it because she loves you. So cute.
how wide is the bio360 that you are using?
I have used the non biodegradable plastic mulch and it is awesome for weed suppression but a BULLY to remove at the end of the year. I also have a rainbow? Bed builder which lays the paper and drip tape. I would love to try the bio360. So s the largest roll 500 ‘? Did you get it from Johnny’s? Thanks so much fir your videos. I love them. Great things ahead for you because you have worked so hard AND so smart
My roll of 360 is 4,000 feet
Hi friend how are you
Woohoo!
❤
Line it up line it up line it up line it up … knock it back knock it back knock it back 🥃
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where are you from
Your husband does alit of the work too.
🌺🌻🥀🌷🌼💐🌹
Did you in your wildest imagination when you bought this property that you would be flower farming it?
