As I’m watching this video again it made me giggle when you said someday I’ll have a shop, and now you have a huge business with five green houses. I’m so happy for you, you’ve came along way in a very short time l. That would totally be my dream job, as for now my garden vegetables and flowers are my hobby.
I have followed about 25 You Tubers over the last year. Since finding Flower Hill Farm, you have quickly become my all time favorite. I love your humor, your genuineness, your humbleness, your exuberance, your adoration for flowers, your willingness to share your successes and failures, the list goes on. I especially love how you highlight individual flowers by photographing them up close. When you share your Mikayla Miranda Dahlia I immediately ordered it! Please know you brighten my life and the lives of many others. Thank you so much for sharing your flower life with all of us. Your enthusiasm is contageous!
Thank you so much for being just you and showing us your beautiful flowers. Thank you also for staying positive no matter what. Thank you for not sort of telling us you need Payton because this old 71 year old lady living in the UK would love to do many Payton (sp) dyslexic, but just can't. Have only come across one person actually demanding that if we watch her videos, we should pay. Upsets me so. So thank you. You and your lovely family are a breath of fresh air and I am always happy to see you. God bless in all your ventures xxx
I could have cried when I saw you posted a new video! I needed this today... i started homeschooling 5 of my school aged kids and my brain hurts and heart hurts a bit as I transition my time from gardens and canning to school lessons. Drinking a second cup of coffee while watching your flowers with a thankful heart now!
You got this! I'm so glad I took the time to check in with you all last night. My days get so rushed (sounds like you know what I mean) that I usually only have time to do a video on my days off but I really feel the need to connect with you guys more! I'm so happy I could bring a little sense of peace to your day
It is very very very beautiful Nicole so so so much more to showing and Happy a new year to you and your family members so so much more..and how are you so so much more to showing 🐶🐕🐩🐐🐄🐗🐽🐊🐢🐍🐲🐉🐳🐸🐓🐣🐤🐥🐦🐧🕊🐔🐇🦃🐰🐼🐨🐻🐿🐘🐭🐁🐀🌼🌷⚘🌱🌲🌹🌻🌺🐋🐬🌵🌵🌵🌳🌾🌿🍁🍂🍃
I'm so glad you shared your floppy Zinnia stems. I have read that you are supposed to 'shake' them and somehow tell if they are going to be a stander or a flopper, but I don't seem to be able to tell the difference and I always have a few that flop. Glad I'm not the only one! I feel better!
I just stumbled upon this video in my suggested video feed (my 7 year old loves watching random flower videos on youtube which changes my algorithms) and I just want to say that you are hilarious and adorable and I think I just found a new channel to watch with my 7 year old who wants to grow "10 hundred million" flowers one day
OMG! You just blew my mind! I have been searching for an affordable version of the Armitage book for a long time. Tried to find it used, on eBay, etc. Never thought to visit the author’s site. Duh!🤦🏻♀️. Thanks so much for sharing it. Love watching your videos and seeing all of your beautiful blooms!🌸💕
My sunflower leaves look like your Zinnia leaves. Blight (Argh!!). Your zinnia row is such a happy sight. Your videos are so much fun. Topic suggestions - soil amendment, plant cloths.
I’m experiencing the same with my Zinnias. This has been a strange growing season. Anyway, I do appreciate your videos and I’ll have to look into getting a copy of the book for myself and my local library.
Ordered my Specialty Cut Flower book on Wednesday after watching this video! Then Holy Thrip, I got an email from Dr A!! Thank you so much for all that you share and for your humor!
My husband’s family is all in western NY in a small town, and I miss it so much whenever I’m not there! Feels like I’m there when I watch your channel though! Your energy is so pure and I’m so thankful for your videos. You really brighten my mood and remind me how to be happy when there is stress. 🌸🌱✨ Also I ordered the white sweatshirt I’m so excited to wear it 🥳 Thanks Nicole for being you!!!!
I just bought to book. I had seen how expensive it is on Amazon so thanks for the info! I soo want his perennial book...maybe I will get it for Christmas:)
I really enjoy your videos! Your the flower friend I wish I had. I think I scare friends away because of my love of gardening. It's good to find a friend who has the same passion for it. I have friends who get absolutely offended if I say I can't do this or that because I have to get my garden chores done. Or they question me, "how could you possibly spend 8-10 hours in your yard". They must think I am lying. But I am not, come Spring and Summer.....you can find me many days in my yard from sun up to sun down. Few years ago when I had a serious slug issue eating all my prized hostas, I would be out there until midnight, killing slugs. Hahaha I think that's when some of my friends think I lost my mind. 😛. Nope, just had to save my plants 😁
Instead of Patreon or Amazon wishlist, what about selling branded items? I love your logo and I would love a shirt or a hat! Also, I would love to see some monochromatic bouquets all lined up with different colors. I think it would make such an impact!
Hey! I do have merch on my website! I don't have hats yet because they require embroidery and my logo isn't set up for that yet! flowerhillfarmny.com Thanks! :)
Great video!! Usually zinnias and phlox get hit with fungus, and a baking soda and water mix will take care of it, also beats back black spot and black rot on grapes. Keep it up!! And those glads are to die for!!!
Now that I am looking at the zinnias in the vid, it looks like a combination of black rot caused by high humidity, too much rain and high temps last few weeks. This is where you mark the varieties that did well, and those that experience stem collape as a result of the rot. And make sure when you clean up to trash and not compost the diseased plants!!!
Great video as always! I recently stumbled upon your channel, and your energy and cheerfulness are contagious! Keep up the great work 👍 and I wish you success with your cut flower business
You’re our go to channel for my before work motivational mojo.... you’re true and humbling being . Would like to chat more personally via email on starting my flower 🌸. 🥀🌼💐🌺😊
You add such fun laughter to my day with your random funny moments, I love watching your videos. You're fun, funny and very inspiring! I love your new swear word, son of a "thrip". lol! Love all you do, your beautiful flowers and all you share with us. It's because of you I'm going to try my hand at seeding and growing Lisianthus :)
Hi Flower Friends...it's time to grab a coffee & catch up with you & your flowers. I've always grown perennials and only a few annuals. I like the progress updates on what works for you & lessons learned. Can't wait to see if those Midnight sweetpeas bloom. I'm interested to see what you do for frost protection to prolong the season. Do growers use seaweed as plant feed in autumn there? Thanks for the video.
Love your video! FYI--you might be surprised about your kitty and the Oriental lily. I had a gorgeous persian cat for 16 years who would nibble plants at random, but when I brought lilies into the house and happily pull flowers out of arrangements with abandon. With lilies, she would sit near them and put her nose next to them to smell their scent--it was obvious she really liked the fragrance. But she never ate them.
Question the sunflower @ 6:30 time period on video you mentioned Procut Gold , but in Johnnie's catalog it doesn't show the variety that you have., have they done away with the kind you have?
Stumbled onto your Flower Farm site just recently. Love your contagious ramblings, stopping to say something to your husband or daughter, and then you turn back to the camera, and without missing a beat, continue right on! My Amaranthus self seeds! (I am across the border in ON) and if I wanted to I could easily have 300 plants, instead I saved 3. I think mine is the same as yours. You will have lots of these plants next year! Thank you for posting and for sharing your information so graciously and generously! ♥️🇨🇦
I don’t know if anyone made a suggestion about your droopy zinnias, but I have learned that if you harvest them when the stem just under the flower is not stiff, it will wilt.
I have NO idea, Peggy! I have several flower friends who have offered to spend a Saturday helping me plant in exchange for a future bouquet. We will see! I need weeding friends LOL
I ordered the book today and I like you want the perennial book but it’s just not in the budget today. Lol Thanks for the heads up on his website. I’ve been starting my cool hardy annuals in plastic storage containers on wet paper towels and it’s been such a game changer for me. My glads are finished and dying back. Is it safe to cut them to the ground? I’m in zone 8 and we’ve had a very hot and dry July and August... Thanks again for providing me with a laugh 😂 with your thripping and all the good information. I can’t wait to get my new book.
I’m from upstate New York too Depew area near buffalo! I now live in virginia and we got so much rain in August like record breaking numbers so we have black spots on our zinnia leaves too. Most of mine are still performing nicely in the vase. This is my first year gardening and I’m loving it. Will you show how you do the oil treatment to the zinnias?
It's very very beautiful different flavors in your house garden can gave you a big areas!together!together!Thank you so much and family members and friends so much 🎶🎧🍎🍏🇻🇮🇺🇸🇻🇮🇺🇸🎫🎫🇾🇪
Shyster found you on RUclips. I liked you immediately. You felt you’d fit right in with me and my other friends 😂Brought the book! It’s probably the only one of the good Dr.s I haven’t read I’ve taken his online classes. Big fan!
Lilies in the house - I'm thinking of those large chicken wire, or screen Cloche thingies. They are bell shaped, and some can be quite decorative. You can use it cover the entire vase and bouquet of Lilies, and that way they are safe to have in the house! "Room Perfume" CAN be Yours!!!
@@FlowerHillFarm - how about we think up a new name for the Cloche while we're at it?! It's just such a weird word... I think it's French, or something, right? Well anyway, I haven't had enough coffee yet today to even BEGIN naming things, so... yeah, that'll have to wait... Bcuz I'll tell you right now the only thing I can think of is - The Lilly Cage. Obviously when I say THAT out loud there's only one response, which is - the sound of crickets. And then even the crickets fall silent. Anyway - I'm thinkin you should rename the Cloche. ♡
It would be amazing to see how you cook some of your garden vegetables. I know your primary focus is on the flowers but I would like to know how you cook some of your vegetables, especially your squash.
I have a bookshop in New Zealand (budding flower grower as well). The book is available here in NZ so I've ordered it. Don't you think the shop can give it to me for my birthday next month? I have just found your channel and love it.
I've heard that a solution with rubbing alcohol will take care of fungus issues, that is if you can find any rubbing alcohol which is a rarity nowadays. I prefer not to use neem oil as they can burn the foliage.
I LOVE THE Cactus Zinnias as well and grew them this year too! I am new to your channel and looked back to see how far your videos go... 6 months? Although your specialty seems to be summer flowers, have you considered holiday time decorating, especially at Christmas? Would be wonderful to see wreaths, trees, table arrangements. :) Keep going. You are wonderful!
I started making videos over 7 years ago (I made them private LOL) but more regularly about six months ago! I've been drying some flowers to do some winter projects! I'll definitely be doing some winter content-- PLUS i start seeds in December for the spring! Thank you so much!
I recently started watching your videos and flower farming is my dream job could you have a video about the business side of flower farming? Like the average costs of things and maybe unexpected costs someone might not usually consider?
I’m probably too late for suggesting but how do you find time to do all that you do....flowers,housework,cooking and time with your family....do the kids help in the garden and housework. Just wondering because you accomplish so much. How do you plant so much without a greenhouse? Also since spring is almost here how do you plant your wildflowers ?........
Will you be leaving your Lily bulbs in the ground after they are done blooming to multiply? I don't have room for as many Lilies as I would like....So I am trying to figure out how I can manage to grow more next year! THANKS!
Do you have a vlog similar to 'Dreaming of Dahlias' for Gladiolas and lilies? Where you buy? What you bought 2020? Ordering for 2021? Specialty Cut Flowers is back in stock - just ordered Sunday 22nd. OMG My zinnias have the same black spots. :( I think it's Alternaria blight.
Great Video.. Lovely energy. Would love to hear more about your pricing of your flowers.. ie do you have a per stem deal with the florist ? Thanks for being you. :)
Hi! I base my prices off the the Boston USDA Wholesale floral prices for my florist ...and I usually give her a better deal. (I'm a sucker for my hometown). She usually throws me a few extra dollars than what I ask.
@@FlowerHillFarm great! Thanks for your reply. It's end of winter here in New Zealand so I'm hanging out for spring and some flower therapy.. so I'm getting my fix from you at the moment 😁! !😍🌻🌼🌹
Hi Nicole, what was that purple cactus dahlia that you mentioned in the beginning? I've got very limited space and those super prolific ones would be a godsend. As much as I love blue bayou, they are not great for my containers. I'm also considering getting Jomanda for the next year.Cheers!
I’m totally behind on my RUclips watching this week. I have a backyard veggie garden with some flowers but very limited space. I live vicariously through your lovely flower farm. Just wanted you to know that your content is very informative, entertaining and I always have a chuckle. I know you grow many things but I would love a “best in show” from what you have grown video. Also, a wrap up (u live u learn)-what did well and what didn’t (what u killed😜). And a “hello flower friend” t-shirt would be great wit an illustration of one of ur bouquets maybe.Please no white cause I don’t understand why 🤔people keep making white T-shirts for gardeners.🌻
Hi Nicole! Have a great big smile after watching your videos!! U r killing me bc after watching your videos I keep going n buying more seeds n more bulbs! I think u need to start a support group call it “Flowers Anonymous” for addicted flower people to stop ordering seeds n bulbs. What was the name of lily u were holding? Thx for your video 🌻
Video Ideas- make perfume, pressed flower art, Kenzen, dried flower Christmas tree, make dye, make tie dye, grow gourds to make bird homes, catch and pin the thrips and other insects that make it difficult. Soil test & amend.
@@FlowerHillFarm you are such a joy to watch! Your personality is so warm and bubbly, and I love that I can learn from you while also laughing my butt off 😂. Your channel is my new favorite ❤

I agree!

Get it! Worth every penny-
Would Gina let you do a garden tour of her cutting flowers? I wonder if your new book will have some advice for zinnias and blight. Let us know.
"Son of a thrip!" ROFLMAO..... I like it- perfect! 😂😹
Me tooooo! Tees are definitely happening!
You crack me up, you’re sooo fun!
My friend very nice video ❤️❤️

Hey! I do have merch on my website! I don't have hats yet because they require embroidery and my logo isn't set up for that yet! flowerhillfarmny.com Thanks! :)
I LOVE the smell of Lilies so much I planted them in beds close to the house. Tuberose, OH HOW THEY SMELL TOO,especially at night.
Thank you for the information on the book!
Your videos are very entertaining, thank you.
Glad you think so!
Great video!! Usually zinnias and phlox get hit with fungus, and a baking soda and water mix will take care of it, also beats back black spot and black rot on grapes. Keep it up!! And those glads are to die for!!!
Now that I am looking at the zinnias in the vid, it looks like a combination of black rot caused by high humidity, too much rain and high temps last few weeks. This is where you mark the varieties that did well, and those that experience stem collape as a result of the rot. And make sure when you clean up to trash and not compost the diseased plants!!!
Great advice! Thank you!

You are so welcome!
I also drink evening coffee, my friends think I'm nuts for it! Thank you for always sharing the information you use, its super helpful
Evening Coffee is a MUST!
Hi Flower Friends...it's time to grab a coffee & catch up with you & your flowers. I've always grown perennials and only a few annuals. I like the progress updates on what works for you & lessons learned. Can't wait to see if those Midnight sweetpeas bloom. I'm interested to see what you do for frost protection to prolong the season. Do growers use seaweed as plant feed in autumn there? Thanks for the video.
I have a dozen sheets of harvest guard. I'm nervous about the wind...we will see in about a month!
4:30 I saw on Univ Nebraska Backyard Farmer the cause might be sunflower head-clipping weevil.
Interesting! Thanks
My gosh blessed to jump into a wholesale order!!
Love your video! FYI--you might be surprised about your kitty and the Oriental lily.

@@FlowerHillFarm I wish you were in Texas
I would love to help just to see all your flowers!

Yes, Elin!
Omg we must save the wiggling Zinnias!!
He ( Dr. Armitage) and I are Gemini’s. His Birthday June 1 and mine June 2! I am ordering his book thanks to you!!
Ugh, got the same thing happening with my zinnias! Love your videos!
hahaha, "...it has the "F" word in it" = and we're in "F"lower Hill "F"arm site...you crack me up

Love you and your videos, you inspire me! Going to finish my Johnny’s order now before all the lizzies are gone. 🤣🥰🌸
They discontinued Rosanne Brown Wahhhhhhhhh
Well thrip!! I had to restrain myself and kept it to just 6 types.
I ordered the book today and I like you want the perennial book but it’s just not in the budget today. Lol Thanks for the heads up on his website. I’ve been starting my cool hardy annuals in plastic storage containers on wet paper towels and it’s been such a game changer for me. My glads are finished and dying back.

I for sure i be loved thes video
Curious how many acres ? Pretty amazing.
Lilies in the house - I'm thinking of those large chicken wire, or screen Cloche thingies.
They are bell shaped, and some can be quite decorative.
You can use it cover the entire vase and bouquet of Lilies, and that way they are safe to have in the house!
"Room Perfume"
CAN be Yours!!!
Wow those are great ideas! I definitely like where this is headed
@@FlowerHillFarm - how about we think up a new name for the Cloche while we're at it?!
It's just such a weird word...
I think it's French, or something, right?
Well anyway, I haven't had enough coffee yet today to even BEGIN naming things, so...
yeah, that'll have to wait...
Bcuz I'll tell you right now the only thing I can think of is - The Lilly Cage.
Obviously when I say THAT out loud there's only one response, which is -
the sound of crickets.
And then even the crickets fall silent.
Anyway - I'm thinkin you should rename the Cloche.

You crack me up. I’m an upstate NY girl too, transplanted (irony!) in GA.

I started making videos over 7 years ago (I made them private LOL) but more regularly about six months ago! I've been drying some flowers to do some winter projects! I'll definitely be doing some winter content-- PLUS i start seeds in December for the spring! Thank you so much!
How specifically did you treat blight on zinnias. What formula.
In north fla zone8b, I have leaf spot in their but didn’t have last year.
Bummer! I'm hoping the treatment works!
I recently started watching your videos and flower farming is my dream job could you have a video about the business side of flower farming? Like the average costs of things and maybe unexpected costs someone might not usually consider?
I’m probably too late for suggesting but how do you find time to do all that you do....flowers,housework,cooking and time with your family....do the kids help in the garden and housework. Just wondering because you accomplish so much.
How do you plant so much without a greenhouse?
Also since spring is almost here how do you plant your wildflowers ?........
Good question! LOL I have no idea how I do it all.
I do have to say, I love your hands🤩😍😘
Thanks! They are pretty sore LOL
I had the same fungus/blight on my zinnias in northern Michigan this year, zone 5
Boo! I hope it doesn't return next year. I'll definitely be moving my zinnias just in case
Flower Hill Farm , I THINK mine is from Overhead watering, changing it to drip.
Will you be leaving your Lily bulbs in the ground after they are done blooming to multiply? I don't have room for as many Lilies as I would like....So I am trying to figure out how I can manage to grow more next year! THANKS!
That's the plan!
@@FlowerHillFarm Great! THANKS!
That book sounds amazing! Unfortunately he doesn't ship to Australia. THRIP IT!! :/
What the thrip! I'll talk to him.
Do you have a vlog similar to 'Dreaming of Dahlias' for Gladiolas and lilies? Where you buy? What you bought 2020? Ordering for 2021? Specialty Cut Flowers is back in stock - just ordered Sunday 22nd. OMG My zinnias have the same black spots. :( I think it's Alternaria blight.
Hmmm. I did a bulb order video recently...and Where I Order video. I did not do one for glads or lilies-- I'll have to next time I place an order!
Specialty cut flowers!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Great Video.. Lovely energy. Would love to hear more about your pricing of your flowers.. ie do you have a per stem deal with the florist ? Thanks for being you. :)
Hi! I base my prices off the the Boston USDA Wholesale floral prices for my florist ...and I usually give her a better deal. (I'm a sucker for my hometown). She usually throws me a few extra dollars than what I ask.
@@FlowerHillFarm great! Thanks for your reply. It's end of winter here in New Zealand so I'm hanging out for spring and some flower therapy.. so I'm getting my fix from you at the moment 😁! !😍🌻🌼🌹
I decided my swear word....you are so cute! Thrip is a perfect one! 😂
Can you do a full farm tour?
Ooofff. I can. It's not pretty LOL
Nicole, what is your link for wholesale lilies: Henk Onings?
Yes, Henk
Hi Nicole, what was that purple cactus dahlia that you mentioned in the beginning? I've got very limited space and those super prolific ones would be a godsend. As much as I love blue bayou, they are not great for my containers. I'm also considering getting Jomanda for the next year.Cheers!
Hi! That is called Bright Cactus Star's Favourite. I ordered from Dutch Bulbs! They featured that photo of mine on their instagram last year! 🙂💐
@@FlowerHillFarm thank you! I'm planning to take some trips to the local flower farms as soon as the weather gets less crazy.
You Rock ♥️♥️
Love your channel 🌿😍🌿
Glad you enjoy it!
Are you a military vet? You give off the vibe.
I'm not! I did take criminal justice in HS/college before switching to journalism. My background is news.
My zinnias have had that, too. Will a fungicide get rid of it? You’re the bomb!❤️
I'm not sure it will get rid of it, but it's supposed to keep it from getting worse! Thank you
@@FlowerHillFarm thanks!!
You are so adorable!
Thank you, Gilda!
Well I THOUGHT I was done ordering seeds, til I peeped some of the varieties that you have! 😂
I’m totally behind on my RUclips watching this week. I have a backyard veggie garden with some flowers but very limited space. I live vicariously through your lovely flower farm. Just wanted you to know that your content is very informative, entertaining and I always have a chuckle. I know you grow many things but I would love a “best in show” from what you have grown video. Also, a wrap up (u live u learn)-what did well and what didn’t (what u killed😜). And a “hello flower friend” t-shirt would be great wit an illustration of one of ur bouquets maybe.Please no white cause I don’t understand why 🤔people keep making white T-shirts for gardeners.🌻
Great idea! The killed list is loooooooooong LOL!
Careful.. the amaranth will take over.. lol I have given over flower beds to them .. next year all those seeds will make hundreds of plants lol
Good to know! YIKES! Thanks
Hi Nicole! Have a great big smile after watching your videos!! U r killing me bc after watching your videos I keep going n buying more seeds n more bulbs! I think u need to start a support group call it “Flowers Anonymous” for addicted flower people to stop ordering seeds n bulbs. What was the name of lily u were holding? Thx for your video 🌻
What kind of lilies do you grow
LXA and Oriental
Video Ideas- make perfume, pressed flower art, Kenzen, dried flower Christmas tree, make dye, make tie dye, grow gourds to make bird homes, catch and pin the thrips and other insects that make it difficult. Soil test & amend.
Great ideas! Thank you, Peter!
"It has the F word in it." 😂 I lost it!
😂💐
@@FlowerHillFarm you are such a joy to watch! Your personality is so warm and bubbly, and I love that I can learn from you while also laughing my butt off 😂. Your channel is my new favorite ❤
Thank you so much! 🥰
My feaux cuss word is usually mother goose egg! 😂
I drink coffee ☕️☕️ pretty much all day long ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Yesssss Coffee AND Flower Friend!
Yo could make the best t-shirt merchandise!
I'm definitely working on it!
More of whatever the Thrip this is!
Good morning madam ❤️ from 🇮🇳
