Please do not ever change the music. I love your videos.
Knowledge, skill, passion, of course. Resilience, perseverance, tenacity...character on display. Such an inspiration, Nicole.
Aw, thank you very much. These comments do more than you know to warm my heart and keep going.
All the good words! ❤
You are doing it sister! You are living your dream.... thank you for taking us along. ❤️😘
Great to see all your hard work paying off in such a diverse collection of blooms. Can you update us on the business end of it? Are you able to fulfill your CSA orders to your satisfaction? Have you been able to generate more CSA customers? Are you able to sell your surplus flower blooms on the weekends? Any bouquet bars happen yet? Guess trying to figure out if you are left with too many blooms not sold? Thanks. Keep up the good work. Your farm looks so inviting.
I'd say it was the eastern king bird, which has a more slender body.. Phoebes have a rounder more stout body.. If birds can be stout...🤔😂 Nice flowers BTW and sooo exciting all those seeds!! 😍
Great video & I laughed out loud waiting for the pronunciation. You are fun…
Looked like an Eastern King bird. Watch for a white edging on it's tail.
Looks like it, because Pied Fantails have black pattern on their necks.
@@greenthumb690 yes A.K.A Flycatcher...I have a pair in my shed and the babies just flew the coop 🤣
I looked it up on my birding app (merlin from Cornell bird labs) and this was the first suggestion. I agree it's an Eastern Kingfisher. (They spend winters in South America, so they migrate quite a ways to get to that location)
Your hard work shows love you, you are like a breath of fresh air.You and Garden Answers are my favorite.Wish you luck on your flower farm,keep being you.
same here! I spent the whole day on my knees weeding yesterday. I was so happy to see my nigellas and sedum plants!
I started some seeds this week also. I have some ornamental kale seeds on the way! (Wearing my “What the thrip?” shirt today. )
The more yellow, less pink Apricot Lemonade Cosmos reminds me of Baker Creek's Japanese Kiiro Cosmos. My favorite cosmos after my picotees!!!
You can collect the spent Calendula flowers to create oils and lotions for your skin. The last time i checked dried Calendula was going for $30 a pound.
I use miracle grow pro shake and grow bloom booster, it’s in a purple and black gallon jug, it makes my cosmos last for 2 weeks in the vase
Viagra for cosmos
An eastern King bird!
It's an Eastern Phoebe!!! Nicole!!! So pretty!!! We have the Western in Southern California!!! They are bug eaters!!!
XoCammie✨🌻💛🐩💛🌻✨
Can't wait taking Dave's class starting Friday
Did you see Sunflower Steve over on The Impatient Gardener?? Awesome interview and beautiful flower arrangement!
Going to see now thanks!
I did!
So gorgeous and lovely 🎉🎉🎉
Nicole!!! I have a one gladiolus that is about to bloom ! I’m sooo excited 😄😁🥳
Sound the alarm! Fantastic! I have one as well that's about to burst - can't wait!
Wow so beautiful flowers🌱🌱🌱🌱🌺🌺🌺🌺🤝🤝
I’m back my friend! I had a busy busy summer! My flowers were a success but my new business got in the way of July seed starting. Let me love what you did while my garden rests until spring :) Its on for next year!!!
Welcome back!
Love your tours and seeing all your progress.
As usual, funny and entertaining, plus informative! Win-win! 👏👍🍃
Your cosmos are gorgeous! I planted them in my root veggie garden to help bring in the pollinators. I have a pale umbrage colour and a beautiful dark pink from a mixed package of cosmos! I love your double clicks!
Thanks so beautiful. Great job!!!
Just watched this video, Nicole - LOVE the What Would Dave Do shirt! I follow his RUclips and have all “no dig” in my home garden.
Potomac Orange Snapdragon, maybe? Madame is more "ruffle-y" (no that is not a real word!). Can hardly wait to see your GORGEOUS Kale!!!! THANKS SO MUCH for the update! Many Happy Blooms!
OMG..I’m doing ornamental kale this year too!
One year I could even harvest calendula during the the winter. It didn't stop blooming. (Of course not last year it was too cold). 🌼❄️
Nicole, you are growing a bigger and so many selection of flowers. I think you will not ran out flowers.
Definitely not this year ! 😘❤️🌸🌹
It’s a good little bird that eats bugs! 💕
It’s my first time trying to grow some flowers from seeds! Could you do a video like an introduction to cut flowers for beginners?
Excited to see those kale!!
I find it so interesting to see how things are going in your different growing zone. At the beginning when my early stuff,tulips and daffodils were long gone and yours hadn't started yet. But now you have almost gotten ahead of me. I do not have cosmos yet. But it makes sense as you have the much longer days and things are going gangbusters before it's too late. Also we have had multiple heat waves at this point. Nothing as severe as the NW but much longer in duration. I am in high( 4000 ft) desert very eastern edge of California. With the heat hard to keep things well watered. Thank you so much. Really fun to see the differences. Oh, one more thing ,with the cosmos I cut buds with longest stems I can. Just with tiniest bit of color showing. They will open in vase. Then you get long lasting bloom out of them. And the buds look cool too.
You're such a hard worker. So much energy and enthusiasm. Your rows of flowers are beautiful, so much more than you grew last year. Love your videos.
❤i love your garden, it gives me hope, and peace of mind.
I will be planting my flower seeds 2morrow.
Its so hot here in Clarksville tn
Seeing Your flowers make my day 🌸. We need more flower emojis.
You always make me smile, so funny. It’s obvious how much you enjoy this. Thanks!
Love the shirt. Just started Dave's course and his knowledge is flower farming gold. We found Dave thanks to you
I really love your intro & intro music!
Oh flowering kale? I must try this.... Love the rubeccia! I have some blooming out at the pond right now, waiting for the sunflowers to start blooming🌻 exciting to start the fall garden things can't wait to see the lilies in your bouquets🌺
I have a chipmunk eating all my strawberries 🍓😒
Looks like I’m gonna need some row covers.
I exterminatored a massive ant hill., looks like they, along with the earwigs., were eating all my zinnias as they popped up.
So they all got exterminatored.
Oh naturelle of course. 👈🏻😋
Love this kind of kale, my Grandmother had them planted in her garden before she passed., so this year I decided to grow some in her memory. I have two cabbage and two kale. 💫🙏🏻
Keep growing. 🌱🙏🏻
Love the cosmos! Your property is awesome 👏
Thanks for the inspo and the reminder to start some new seeds for fall harvest. Going to try some more amaranths and maybe sunflowers.
Darn you, Nicole! I was blissfully (haha) working on a research project in the middle of the night (darn that dissertation) when you just go popping up in my feed. Cognitive learning science can wait - flowering kale and cabbage MUST be ordered. Now. When I finally make it to Flowers Anonymous, you will be on the do-not-engage list.
Oh my YES! I planted a TON of sunray, and am over the moon happy with them. Some packs had poor germination, some wonderful. Gleefully happy with them regardless of germ rate. Prettiest in pots on a sunny porch. 😍
Love your farm and posts. So proud of you. You Go Girl!!
Thank you!
I’m zone 6. I planted ornamental last yr for the first time in August & they looked amazing until spring until I decided to pull them for the summer season
Awesome! 😄
So so very excited to try your New Babies Steve!! I love them!!! I love your videos Flower Hill Farm! You are amazing!
If you ever get down to the Ozarks and if Baker creek is open you will enjoy it. Normally on the first Sunday it a big thing. They are about an hour away from me. And you can go to Laura Ingall Wilders’s home that is not far from there
Hi Looks like a Kingbird to me. They are a member of the flycatcher family.
Love your stuff Nicole. I am starting some things to go out too.
Ruffles looks really cool.
Oooh that kale!!! The garden looks so good! Come do my garden now, I will pay in dahlia tubers. 😊
Deal!
All my sunflowers, recently planted had there tops eaten off and two areas of netting sniped☹️waah . I grow in raised beds.. so I put insect netting around.. praying they keep critters out. I thought rabbits but could be chips? Thanks for posting your real life garden with us ❤
Im excited to see the lisianthus!
Cant say I’m super impressed with my pink lemonade cosmos either…hoping it wows me more as the season progresses.
Another fabulous update, thanks for sharing your passion with us!
Away this weekend and came home to my orlaya finally in bloom! Also the lilies, zinnias, delphinium (I can't believe I grew delphiniums) in bloom and I have buds on my lisianthus (still a drama queen in my opinion since I started the seeds in January, but now determined to do it again next season). None of this would have happened in MY garden if not for your inspiration and others like Northlawn Flower Farm, The Impatient Gardener, etc. Now once my broken ankle heals I can get back to harvesting, weeding, deadheading, sowing more seeds, etc, but until then will live vicariously through all my favorite RUclips gardeners and view my garden from afar while I nag my family to at least water for me...LOL!
Love your videos, Nicole. Can't wait to see what your dahlias from seeds look like. Please do an in depth video on those! :D
The ornamental kale I grew never looked like that! It's beautiful! Guess I've got to get with the times.
Get with it Renee! 😱💐🤣
Omg, I found your channel through Erin, The Impatient Gardener’s and I love it! I’m in NE PA, zone 6A. My husband snowmobiles in your area.
Welcome!!
Just subbed! Can't wait to see this new Kale & actually how well this planting method is going to work out. Fingers crossed for ya!🤞💚
You’ll love Vincent’s choice. That’s one of my most requested sunflowers at my market.
Tony said it was greaaaaaaaat!
I’m in Florida, but my calendula is always at its peak in the winter. You should be good to grow it through the fall! 👍
Yessss a new video we missed you
I started yarrow at this time last year and they bloomed like crazy this year :) (NC 8a)
Great 👍
My guess. Is the bird is a kingbird.
Its a flycatcher so it eats the bugs like swallows do.
Cornell ornithology has a really neat bird id website!
I planted the double click snow puff cosmos from johnnys and love them! And I’m so jealous of your bells! I’ve tried for 2 years and they just get too hot. I need to start them earlier next year.
Hi Nicole, during the tour of your garden, I noticed that your lisianthus was not covered. Are you planning on covering them with a low tunnel? I read that rain drops will damage the blooms. Have you also heard this? Thanks
I’m not an expert, but my blooms haven’t seemed bothered by the rain
Could you show when you cut lilies and how you store them in the cooler or refrigerator?
I have a trick for keeping chipmunks from eating your sunflower seeds...sprinkle the dirt around them with garlic powder and ground cayenne pepper. I have had to plant sunflowers twice because of the chipmunks. The third time I used the garlic and cayenne and so far it has worked! 😁
Thanks for sharing!!
I've had the same problem with my vegetables. Planted green beans 3 times! Cayenne and garlic really work - just reapply after a rain.
Thanks so much for telling us what time of year that you start seeds! I just began my seed starting adventure last winter, so still learning.
Go to 11:19 min for a blurp on flowering Kale.
Everything looks so good and healthy! You mush be entertaining them all the time with your song and dance routines ;) I have rudbeckias like yours all over my gardens as they self seed everywhere and are way too gorgeous to yank out!
Can you ask Sunflower Steve to create a Japanese beetle resistant variety for us on the East coast ? 😜😜😜
I've grown Bells of Ireland for the first time this year - not really well known here in the UK but they seem quite happy in our climate. What I didn't realise is that there are rows of spiny thorns hidden below the flowers....I learned the hard way when I reached in to cut some 😬
I happen to recently stumble upon your channel!!! I’m soooo happy that I did and even more happy that you are my first RUclipsr not to far from me😊 Coming home yesterday from Old Forge Vacation, my husband decided to drive through Boonville. I asked if we could stop to pick up flowers 🌸 We didn’t see anything…drove home. I will need to get in contact with you and come up with my daughters!! I would love to meet you and your beautiful garden, grab some flowers! Keep up the great content✌🏻🌺
Hello! We usually do flowers by appointment- the farm is closed to the public unless we have an announced porch sale! Be looking for the next one on our Facebook page!
Hope your Gladiolas did well. I got 3 different types of Glads from several different places including Eden Brothers, Menards and Johnny's and not a single bulb sent up stalks of flowers. I got lots of leaves but no a single bloom stalk in over 100 Gladiolas. Some I planted in containers and some in the ground and some in a raised bed. Very odd. I asked a Nursery owner about it and he thinks the bulbs were too young. Don't understand that one. I should probably let Them know about what happened and see if Eden Brother or Johnny's can explain what happened.
They can take up to 90 days to send up a bloom stalk and look pretty green for weeks before then- perhaps it just wasn’t time yet?
Was about to give up on flowers on my Acidenthera (hardy glads) but saw buds yesterday. There's hope!
I need the purple beans and basil
The bird is called a Junco. I have them all winter. You don’t see many this time of year because they go north to mate. The older ones stick around. Beautiful little bird!
I’m a veggie Gardner and you have inspired me to get into flowers! I’m about an hour north of Toronto in Ontario 🌻
We have a ton of juncos- these are about twice the size! It’s been identified as an Eastern Kingbird 👑🕊
Oh nice!
Your garden is quickly becoming an encyclopedia of plant knowledge! But can we talk about that star shaped, maroon rudbeckia?!? 😍
I love it!
Were you talking about white yarrow? Because that's very easy to grow planted into the ground. It can get invasive especially in sunny areas spreading by seed. The large golden variety is a bit better behaved and is a awesome dried flower. 3' to 5' tall.
I have a lot of white yarrow here, I’m talking about a mix called Colorado. It’s multiple colors of pastel!
Oh well you could go completely off kilter...plant kale lettuce beets and yard beans. They all flower when bolting AND the yard beans have a sweet purple flower before n during fruiting..all cool fillers
Love your videos! Can't wait to see the kale!
Also I believe that bird is an Eastern kingbird, not sure if you already figured that out.
Eastern Kingbird yes! They are so cool! They hover and "pounce" so cool!
Thanks for the tour. I've planted Bells of I for the first time -- still very small here in CT. Yours are gorgeous! I hate to tell you this, but I think Sunflower Steve is cheating on you with The Impatient Gardener. Be strong.
😂
When you were saying say the name I thought of the Neverending Story " Atreyu say her name" Wish I had seen this video 2 weeks ago my cabbage is so wide at least I know what I did wrong. Your Rudbeckia is sooo nice... I killed my whole tray...crying inside. Thanks for a great video as always!!
That’s exactly what it’s from. I almost named Axel - Atreyu 💞
@@FlowerHillFarm no way!! Childhood fav movie for sure a great name. I tried to give my son skywalker as a middle name hubby wouldn't let me...lol
I’m pretty sure the bird is an Eastern King Bird... same coloring as a Tree Swallow but different body shape and longer tail... they will be found hunting insects in open fields
Looking forward to Dave's class. Have you considered larger soil blocks?
I use them. They take up a LOT of expensive compost so I use them sparingly - I do use them for tomatoes
Hello, Nicole. I’m a beginner gardener and loving your videos, growing flowers from seeds😊👍🏻
I didn’t know that you can get Sakata and Takii(Giant seed companies in Japan) seeds in US!
I personally imported Johnny’s flower seeds last years. I wish I can buy their seeds more easily in Japan💦
Zone 7 calendulas winter over in the ground.
I grew apricot, Lemonade cosmos last year; disappointed - not as prolific as other varieties. My first year growing snapdragons here in zone 5 NH - they're only about 5". I put them out over a month ago at about 2". ugh what gives? And, due to chipmunks - I'm on my 3rd planting of sunflowers. Started Yellow and White yarrow last week in trays - no germination yet. OMG that Takii commercial - sounded like Jurassic Park lol. I'd say Eastern Kingbird. Looks like there's a bluebird sitting on the top of fence (above). 💛🌻
Just started growing from seed . Is there a planting chart for all flowering plants and garden vegetables you can buy ?
I'm here in zone 5 and I was told that starting sunflower seeds would be too late, but I went ahead and started them 2 weeks ago they are the short variety, they are not the giant ones ,also I just wanted to say that I also grew bells of Ireland this year but I think it smells like stink bugs 🤣🤣.
Nope- Procut blooms in 55 days - you’re good to start those
@@FlowerHillFarm Thank you ☺️❤️
Love your intro 🐝
Thank you 💐
Love to see ur videos. Fun natural inspiring... .... I have such bad luck and bad germination with snap dragons.. They are fresh seeds from a store in UK.. Any advice would be great
Loving the look of those kale. Yes cabbage worms are the worse!!!! Those things need to die and go to cabbage worm hell😂😂😂😂😂😂 They are always a pain in my bootie. I have never really been fond of rudbeckia but those that you are growing are gorgeous! God bless
The bird looks like a Pied Fantails
Hiya Doll 👋 ❤
Good Morning Nicole, with the Bells of Ireland do they produce seeds? 💕😊🌿
Can many flowers be direct sown in the ground in the pacific northwest or should they all be started in trays. Can you start seeds in a larger pot so you don't have to pot them up
