    Well Nicole you have succeeded in giving me the fever to start a flower farm. I binged watched your videos all winter. You may not remember, but I had messaged you a while back regarding netting for my dahlias which you did reply back with an answer, thank you. I told you then I was thinking about trying to flower farm. I am definitely on a much smaller scale than you are but if all goes well this year, I will expand next year, Lord's willing. I am in north central Arkansas and do not know of any flower farms in our state although there may be some. Your plants look great. Mine look pretty good but we are having so much rain plus our temps have been colder than usual so it has been hard to get things planted. I am doing lilies, glads, sunflowers, zinnias, snapdragons, and at least 15 to 20 kinds of filler flowers. Not sure if my Dahlias will be for sale. I have around 200 of mixed varieties. You are a great inspiration and I have learned much from watching your videos as well as being entertained by you. Wishing you a very successful year of flower farming.

    You're amazing! You do so much and know so much! Just an expanded reason for your viewers for planting tomatoes super deep. The indeterminate varieties are actually vines - so every leaf node has potential to put out roots, and when you have well-rooted tall "seedlings" like that, it is beneficial to bury them deep to encourage a much larger root system, therefore stronger and healthier :)

    I enjoy your videos so much!
    I forget you have other jobs besides farming. Gurl, you are one busy lady.
    I read an article last night that said flowers will be hard to come by this year, especially for weddings. Um, they don't know about you and your other flower friends. What shortage?
    Seeing your success growing from seeds makes me think I could do this. Not farming, but just to have enough for a small cutting garden for my own use. But how does one decide what to plant. You have acreage that you don't have to be selective. I am starting lilies from bulbs (corms?) and that's fun seeing them develop. So much more affordable than purchasing one plant from garden centers.
    Sleeping among the peonies sounds so delightful. My peonies are looking awesome this year. I haven't even gotten around to fertilizing some of them yet.
    I'm also in zone 4b and was weeding over the weekend. Some ladies passing by on a dog walk stopped to compliment my gardens (Oy! Don't look at the mess to the right) and they thought it was too early to garden. Really?! I feel I'm far behind because I watch gardeners from warmer zones. Gotta get those weeds before they take over. I love the uniqueness of amaranth, but worry it would self-seed everywhere like the weed version I get in my garden.
    Sorry to take up your time with such a lengthy comment. It's already been established, you are BUSY!

    I feel like a starving woman at a buffet looking at all your plants. Definitely will grow those
    poppies next year. I've got Oriental ones that I grew from seed last year and they are looking
    fantastic. I'm glad you got the 'matoes sorted and they have recovered.
    I put basil seedlings into either 4 inch by 6 inch deep square pots or a 32 plug tray.
    The ones in the 32 were NOT happy. They are now in Solo cups. Don't know what the
    deal is with the 4 inch deep plug trays. I think I need to invest in a soil blocker.
    My tomatoes are also out of control and it's not time yet.....the horror!
    I have an important question:
    Do you get Squash Vine Borers? I'm in Toronto and they descended on us for the first time
    last year and they are brutal. If you get them what do you do about them? I'm growing
    parthenocarpic cucumbers because they don't need pollinating and I'll keep them under netting to keep
    the Cucumber beetles, Squash bugs, and Vine Borers off them. Cucumbers have many enemies!
    Another less important question:
    I planted a block of Snappies 4 inches apart. The ones inside the square are standing up.
    The outer ones are sprawling. What should I do? I was thinking of putting in a bunch more
    and maybe the sprawly fellas will rethink their orientation. Should I pinch them short and
    maybe they'll grow upwards?
    Sorry for many questions.

    Been growing those blue centered African daisies. They are really leggy and tall but so pretty! I also left them in the plug trays too long. I love them! Got the seeds from Baker Creek too. Please give us an update on the gomphrena when you harvest. I'm planning to plant them next spring and want to see how big and flowy they get. (small yard space ) Thanks! Love how you love your plants! I talk to mine all the time.

    Your plants looks great and love your presentation! I see plenty of potting up and transplanting in your near future. Some of the seeds I bought are growing odd plants. I purchased Basket of Gold Alyssum seeds and what is growing is Nightshade! Also my Corona Snapdragon mix seeds all germinated but they are definitely not snapdragons (many tall stems with umbrellas of pointed starburst leaves). Even Plantfinder can't identify! Oh well, hope they will be a nice surprise.

    I know that this will sound disgusting but.... I saw this on another garden channel AND I have done it so I know that it works. If you glob a bunch of spit...yes, I said spit as in saliva, on those seed husks that are stuck, it usually works to loosen them. They said you can use water but that the enzymes in saliva work faster. If the husk doesn't come off fast enough, you lose the plant. I hate to lose plants😤

    I'm glad your morning glory are doing good! Did you like the type of peas I sent? I wasn't sure if those were the kind you liked eating fresh or not. I think the Cinnamon Basil has a black licorice hint to it, but better... I dont like black licorice but I LOVE the smell of that Basil. I have 4 beautiful Lemon Scented Gum Eucalyptus. They're almost a foot tall, but three are doing more bushing than vertical growth. I had 4 Baby Blue Eucalyptus doing good, & then all of 3 sudden them, their leaves started to get crispy & they died! 🤷‍♀️ I have no clue what happened! I had that bumpy bubble stuff on my tomatoes! Were super humid in southern Indiana so that's so nice to know! Never heard of that before! I thought it was mosaic virus because of that, & curly leaves... ( which it still may have been, but in some they only had the bubbling) I am sooooo doing soil blocks next year! Jist the simple fact of not having to pull the seedlings out of trays I think is going to be a huge benefit! It takes me forever to pop them out (depending on cell size) unless I let them dry out, & sometimes I water because I don't think n I'm going to be able to plant that day, then my 2 year old takes a 2 hour nap & in like "let's plant" & then I get 6 things planted from trying not to rip the roots! 😩 🤣

    Hi Nicole. Jodie here from NJ (zone 7b). Love your videos and humor!! I'm starting 4 new seeds this year that need light for germination. Here's my problem: everything is set up in the basement where there is minimal daylight. :( I suppose I can place them under grow lights - maybe a foot or so below; or I can put them upstairs close to an East-facing window, but without heat mats. What would you do? Any suggestions are welcome!!
