Hi Nicole, i'm from Vietnam, far far away from you, but i just want u to know that i love your voice, your sense of humor, your energy... i love the imperfection beuty of your flower farm and each day when i get lazy for doing the gardening in a hot day (over 40 Celsius) i just keep reminding myself that Nicole can managed her huge farm alone so why i am not. And thanks for keep updating the RUclips video in these quarantine days. Love.
Thank you so much!!
@@FlowerHillFarm 🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷🌸💮💐
The deer really appreciated the applause.
Nicole I loved this video. The beautiful butterflies and the hummingbird moth gave me so much joy!
You wild flower field is a dream ❤ thank you for sharing! Lots of love and best wishes for you!

Thanks for this relaxing video. I needed it today and it calmed me from the crying I’ve been doing after losing a friend. You don’t know how much it helped!
❤
Sending you peace and comfort ❤
I'm so sorry. I am glad to have helped even if just a little bit.
I'm so sorry for your loss,
Also so sorry for your loss 💕🙏🏼
Nicole, your multitalentedness is mind boggling, you make it look like play and joy which gives me intense joy.
BEE-U-TIFUL Butterflies and flowers! :)
I have not seen a hummingbird moth here in my yard in years, thankfully I had a few hummers All summer....🙏🙏❤️🌿🌻 i’m going to cry when they have to fly home for the winter. They are my solace, and bring me such peace..........
So beautiful and peaceful!
Simply gorgeous 😍 have I said that I love your background music?
Stunning
Goldenrod is solidago and makes a great cut. You can even dye it!
Yes! I’ve been using it for a few weeks. It bloomed early this year!
Nicole the butterflies & especially that hummingbird moth would make any entomologist drool. Especially watching the mechanics of the way its wings flutter. Also schools & universities may keep butterfly stats & would love the info. Do you ever send this type of info to govt/state databases?
I’ve been involved in a 5 year Butterfly Atlas in eastern Canada. So love your swallowtail & monarchs!
GORGEOUS!💐💐💐
The SwallowTail butterflies really enjoyed the flowers
Oh to be "...lost in the moment of a pollinator field."😊
WHEN YOU WERE CLAPPING YOUR HANDS FOR THE DEER TO LEAVE THEY WERE PROBABLY DANCING AND HAPPY AS EVER AS IF YOU WERE CHEERING 📣 THEM ON TO EAT YOUR COSMOS❤😂😂
Butterflies make my heart so happy! I love seeing them in the garden! And those hummingbird moths...love them too, they're so adorable!🦋💗
So beautiful 🌸🌼🌷🦋 thank you
Beautiful I wish people will do the same. Congratulations
So beautiful🧡🧡🧡
Beautiful
Very nice.
What a way to start the day - Thank you!
Just to let you know, this looks AMAZING!! 😳❤️❤️
Wildflowers 🤩
Thank you for sharing the beauty of the wildflower garden and all its little community members! Finding joy in the simple things is so important thanks for the reminder.
Spectacular Nicole! WOWSER!
Your garden is incredible 😍
Beautiful. It has taken us 3 years to establish a wildflower area on a hill behind our house. We’ve had to spray and kill grass over and over and go out and pick out weeds to give the wildflowers a chance to thrive. It worked and now it’s beautiful.
Love what you've done for your pollinator pals! What a glorious offering. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing the peaceful moment of sheer beauty! Have a great day!
So wonderful- thanks for sharing. Often I am multitasking when watching RUclips videos but for this I put down my phone and just enjoyed. Thanks again.
It turned out amazing! So pretty. I've had so many bees, butterflies, and a few hummers too, so cool.
So amazing to see the creativity of others! I love how you incorporate such an incredible variety of beauty! You're such an inspiring individual ...thank you so much for that! 🥰💐🌸🌼🎍🌷🎍🌹🏵️🌻
Greetings from our California Garden! ~ Your farm is glorious as are your flowers. An idea... if you don't mind mind us sharing... is to plant a PermaKultur border as your deer perimeter. It would provide natural options without wire fencing, allow feeding only on the exterior simultaneously protecting the inside. It can be drought tolerant to your area and low to no maintenance once matured. It might also provide a noise, dust, privacy filter to the roadway. Besides it would be Botanically Beautiful! ~ Thank you for your cheerful vibrant videos!
Hi Nicole, My name is Iva and I am from a tiny country in Eastern Europe - Bulgaria. Just wanted to say that I have been watching your videos religiously in the past few months and that everything you do is amazing - in this video the footage of the field and butterflies is so calming and just beautiful... Your hard work is so inspiring. I am a person who has always struggled in keeping flowers alive but I am trying to grow more in my backyard and..you are great help! Thank you!
What a amazing project, we never know what " Mother Nature" has in store year after year....l use to grow the massive Russian Sunflowers, and the squirrels ate them...l was so disappointed, my grandmother said a farmer always plant some for them and yourself... it's nature's way! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful field's....
I wouldn’t mind an entire yard like this it is gorgeous❤️🌈❤️
Beautiful 🦋🌼🌸
Lovely. I'm going to look into getting a local wildflower mix, for my area, next year. I'm tired of fighting the weeds, so I've decided to go with the flow and "hide" them with a wildflower mix. 😆😍
Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you, Nicole!
Nice to see something so peaceful on social media. Thanks ☺️
Your garden looks so inviting and peaceful! 🍃💚
BEAUTIFUL! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you. It brought tears to my eyes.
For believers - all of this amazing beauty and wonderful natural systems is AFTER sin ruined the world! Imagine Eden BEFORE sin! Wow!
And imagine heaven to come!
@@cynthiafisher9907 see you there!
Fab video, well done 👍 - inspiring us to do better. 👏👏👏👏👏
The video was twice as good when you stopped talking. 😉🤭😀
Joking. 😅😂🤣
It looks so nice! Too bad about the cosmos. Mine were fantastic and huge all summer and still going. I got the idea of a wildflower garden from you so thank you.
I manage to keep the deer out of my early blooms by feeding supplement food on the other side of the property. It’s a deal I made with them but hey it worked
This is beautiful!!!! I have a small wildflower/cut flower garden and I put some chairs in the area and had my kids and dogs take pics lol None were happy. I love seeing all of the bees, butterflies and dragonflies just hovering around 😍
Hi Nicole,
We use the black reusable Deer Stopper tape attached to posts that surround our gardens. The deer don’t come within 5 feet of the tape. In winter we soak the tape in a sealed container of the Deer Stopper liquid , ready to reuse in the spring/ summer.
Absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for the update 😊 I remember when you sowed the field, & I’ve been curious as to the results!
My favorite video of the year!! Thanks for sharing the beauty!
A dream 😊
So beautiful 😍 I love to watch butterflies 🦋 💕
Hey Sweet Pea. So great to see the insects from the other side of the world. Lots of love 🥰
I could watch that all day!!
Thanks Doll ❤
You are so welcome
Just gorgeous!
Nicole, the field is SO beautiful!!
Keep the milkweed plants! They are necessary if you want monarch butterflies to stay around. Somewhere on the internet is info on how certain varieties of milkweed are necessary to monarchs, and that one should plant local varieties, not import or seed non-local varieties of milkweed since not all of them are beneficial. Otherwise you have a nice variety of colorful wild flowers. Let it re-seed itself every year. (Well, maybe not too much goldenrod or ragweed; they're a disaster for allergy sufferers.) You have a lovely wildflower patch, so I hope you keep it up.
Hummingbird moths are really interesting. I didn't know they even existed until one year a couple of decades ago when I had hanging pots on the porch with tons of impatiens in them (impatiens don't stink and they keep blooming until frost kills them; their seed pods actually produce a popping sound when they burst). As I was watering, a hummingbird moth unexpectedly came up to the plants next to me, uncurled that looooong "mouth" and started feeding. It even had iridescent colors like our local hummingbirds (but no way to confuse the two; my mother had a hummingbird feeder outside her kitchen window so I know what the local hummingbirds look like). So I called the local wildlife station and asked if there was such a thing as hummingbird moths, and there are.
Unfortunately, some kind of stinky mold (or whatever) took up camp in the soil of my hanging pots (that I'd filled with store-bought potting soil), I'm allergic, so dumped them out and never used hanging plants again. Yeah, having pollen allergies to most outdoor plants and trees is a real nuisance..., but I still love looking at flowers and other nature shows (except legless crawling reptiles which terrify me). Birds, butterflies, assorted wild mammalian species are gorgeous and fascinating!
I loved that so so so much! Thank you Nicole!
This is awesome, im going to do this soon 😊
Turned out beautiful! God bless
so pretty, love it as much as the butterflies and bees, thanks for sharing
I absolutely loved this. Wishing you and yours the best day ever.
Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
This is just so lovely! 🌸🦋
Hi from India
The best feeling whenever you upload your video lots of love 💗
Omg I have that same shirt !!! 😍😍😍
Love your pollinator garden!
Beautiful!!!
So pretty!!
Just beautiful! Great job! XO
BEAUTIFUL! 🌼 🦋 THANK YOU ❤ Linda in Vancouver 🇨🇦
In case you haven't heard of it: one method of deer deterrence is human urine. So have someone go out one night and pee where the trails enter the flowers. The deer will take a detour (though I don't know how large a detour. Multiple locations may need an application.)
You should try doing a field that is layered sort of like those rice fields in Asia, very helpful in reducing run off and erosion and it also replenishes aquifers.
Love it, love it, love it! :)
Edible Acres channel suggests that you plant more for the 🦌🦌🦌 because they too need food. If everyone sprays against them, they're going to die off and what a tragedy that would be. Plant plant more. It's your donation towards maintaining the natural balance. Lovely flowers
The wildflower patch is gorgeous! I ordered 2 lbs. Of wildflower seed for a 4,000 sq. ft. area on my front yard but we just didnt get it rolled & planted this year. But I have had soooooooo many butterflies & things in the garden this hear. I stopped spraying a couple years ago & its gotten better every year! I feel like I'm walking into a butterfly garden when I go to the garden! I saw my first hummingbird moth & my first hummingbird the other day, also! I've also been having the most beautiful yellow & black bird visit my sunflowers (that im letting go to seed for them) My son and I are currently raising 3 monarch butterflies & a black swallowtail ] 👏
Hopefully yr not raising them inside. The studies show that messes up their location. As they are pupating they r absorbing sounds around them outside and the moon and sun tell them where they are.
@@lavendercrowl5695 Interesting. Didn't know that! Maybe I need to find a protected location outside to put them then!
Deer Off. Maybe make a little path and spray randomly.
Talk about "Bloom where you are planted."
I'm looking to order some Jonny's Seed for green manure. I've spent so much time this year pulling weeds and even thug flowers I want to enrich the soil. Plus I read an article in "The Guardian" that said nature wants something growing in the topsoil to preserve the good stuff and if we don't plant something then weeds will do the job. Sounds plausible.
OMGosh! I just love the music! Blessings¸.•*¨`*•.♫❤
You garden looks AMAZING.Where did you get the seed mix?
Set up a motion activated sprinkler. I have had goof luck with them .
I realize your wild flower field is big, but have you tried spraying the perimeter with Liquid Fence? I live in central Minnesota in the middle of deer country, Liquid Fence is the only way I would have any flowers. Your field is gorgeous!
Nah, this is not a money maker for me so I don’t spend much in making it happen. It’s already a few hundred dollars for the seed. It’s just a pretty spot and if it makes it GREAT but if not it’s ok.
I think that the deer wandering thru your wildflower area is kinda quaint and wouldn't a picture taken with them there following the trail be beautiful.
Oh I have plenty of pictures of them walking through the fields LOL they do look pretty. I can almost walk right up to them.
Yeah that sucks my phone must be crap because It was not focused but the rest of your videos were focused? Yayy were all professional photographers!!!! I get so many compliments on the pictures I send and I don't ever try I just send them lol ..
Weird! It’s in crystal clear HD! Must be a glitch
@@FlowerHillFarm I'll try again!!
sup growmies!!!! great video
Hi there Nicole, I wondered if, in the end, you had cosmos bloom anyway? Because in many of the shots I think I recognize cosmos plants but they're just not blooming yet - here in the netherlands, they are also sometimes very late to bloom, depending on the weather and time of sowing..
you should think about selling your photos as stock photos
Lol I’m literally wearing the same shirt rn
Ha!
I literally bought two zinnia plants from the nursery yesterday and they already got munched on by the deer last night! Good thing they were only $1.50 each LOL
Oddly enough the deer don't touch my zinnias at all! Rotten luck!
Gaillardia. Get some
dont be afraid 😨 5:04
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The entire farm is beautiful. If you could add some of the same yr blooming foxglove to the mix that may help keep the deer out.? I'd love to have a meadow, sad thing is there would pecan, mimosa and locust trees all thru it =^\
This is our first season with wild flowers and I feel like we got nothing!
Yo ando buscando flores para pasto más chiquitas
OK .... Loving the top that you are wearing .... where did you find it .... the only thing that would make it better is if it were a tack top ..... Oh Yes .... I used to be a Professional Photographer .... I have sense retired .... had a studio and also went on location ... enjoyed it all while it lasted .... just wondering what camera you were using to get those beautiful images ..... Thanks for sharing ..... Hugs
My mom bought it for me! Not sure!
Hi Nichole I'm from India if you don't mind may I know which camera you use!? It's amazing, I wanna get one!
Your "Wildflower Garden" looks lovely, but don't you want to have native wildflowers? Bachelor's Button (Centaurea cyanus) is from Europe. Calendula is from Europe and Asia. I saw a number of species that were not even from this continent, let alone the locally native species that we should be encouraging.
Thank you for the peaceful shots of all the butterflies and moths it's just what I needed!
