sigh. The news slapped me in the face and I retreated to Flower Hill Farm. Thanks for a peaceful, calm, hopeful place on this difficult day.
Oh! How I miss being able to get out in the gardens! Just 8 years ago I had 13 very large perennial gardens. All but 2 were crazy, breathtaking, gorgeous wild beds! It took me 2 hours per day to water just half of the yard. ! And I only watered each section every other day. ( until the heat of the summer... then everything got watered every morning. It took 4 hours to get it all done.) I can't get out now due to severe back issues and it's killing me! My gardens stopped traffic! I had strangers stopping by asking to walk amongst my gardens and look around. I can smell the stock... I miss it so much. Your flowers are just gorgeous!
❤️
🤗
I understand completely! I can’t garden due to severe back issues and it’s terribly depressing and stressful. I would humbly suggest you try getting some help if you can and also having a small section of pots near to the house so you can still get sunshine and get your hands in the soil tending to the plants! It’s done me a world of good just doing a little bit…..makes me feel the joy of gardening again! Sending garden prayers and healing thoughts to you! ❤️💫🌸💫❤️
I hope you can find a way to garden again! Perhaps you will one day be able to do some vertical gardening like with a green stalk, or water with some drip irrigation. If it's just not possible right now, I will keep you in my prayers that your back pain recovers to the point where it makes gardening possible again for you.
What an experience it would be to just stop by and walk through a beautiful garden! 😍
This mistake shows your customers you have integrity and that you're an honorable business woman. It's a hard lesson, but it will result in loyal customers.
I like the idea of using single flower as well as doubles because bees cannot get into double flowers so singles are very important for our insect friends.
I would just be heart sick over the freezer burned tulips! I think your customers will be glad you were so honest and supplemented another beautiful bouquet week for them! These mistakes are what make better farmers:)
Love the beautiful photos you take as well.
Nicole your commitment to your customers is beautiful. Your love for flowers is contagious 🌸🌷and I look forward to your videos xx Cathi xx 😘
I love to see bouquet building, and harvesting flowers too. This one was very satisfying
That really sucks. I am glad u got it all figured out. Your bouquets are amazing.
Nicole I'm sorry you had to go through that with your freezer, and I'm so glad of how you handled it. And those bouquets at the end of the video were simply stunning!
Bravissima, Nicole, for accepting the responsibility and correcting the mistake. Honesty is the best policy, it always pays off:))) I saw wild poppies yesterday and thought of yours!
Accidents happen to everyone! You did the right thing and that’s what matters! You have the most gorgeous bouquets I’ve ever seen! Wish I lived close enough to have them but watching them be grown along and put together is such divine inspiration! Thank you so much!!
What a good pal is Steve!
I love your videos and your transparency! We learn as you learn. Thank you
And that’s what makes you a great business woman! Making a mistake (that wasn’t your fault) but making it right!! You go girl!!!!
I love you 'yaping' about flowers.
So sorry you had that happen. But, what an awesome way you handled things with your members. Kudos to you!!
Really beautiful bouquets, Nicole. Story you experienced that fridge issue. Sometimes crap happens. You handled it well. Better now than later with a larger number of bouquets.
I very much also hope you can continue with the CSA bouquet videos throughout the busy time. Your videos have inspired 2 of my kids to sell bouquets to raise money for our local animal shelter. Keep ‘em coming! (please, please pretty please with a cherry on top)
I think it's important that you share mistakes with us, not only success. The flowers are gorgeous. Today I'm picking some of my Queen of Night. One of my favourite tulips :)
Your bouquets are absolutely beautiful 😍
Look at you going all Floret assembling your bouquets!....which are absolutely stunning. I think we all had "a lesson learned" many times in our gardening journey.
Just so beautiful to see the fruits of the labor and lessons learned . You keep it real thanks!
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Experience is the best teacher and I appreciate learning from you. 💕
The most romantic group of bouquets I have ever seen! I went flower shopping with a elderly woman who's gardens I take care of. Home Depot has some real beauties that I have never seen before! Flower Heaven today! 😍🌷🌹🏵🌸🌷🌼🌺 Oh and beautiful save on the freezer damaged flowers!
My fav song from Hamilton - The Room Where it Happens. I’m always singing that song.
Those are all of my favorites my favorite time in the garden is this time of the year till the end of June when things start flowering and the garden still looks fresh. Those I think are the absolute favorite bouquets I've seen you arrange.
Làm bó hoa Tuần 4: Bài học khó đã học: cảm ơn vì đã chia sẻ thật tuyệt vời
15:54 - STUNNING! Everything is beautiful. I love your videos.
I didn’t select for doubles this year.. just growing them on as are.
Watching you make bouquets is very inspiring to me. I added more raised beds this year so we now have 23. About 50 % is flowers, mostly for cutting.
Wanted to tell you I have a nest of killdeer eggs in my bells of Ireland 🤣🤣. I think of you every time I go over and the momma has me follow her away.
Kill dear eggs? What is that?
@@susanjones2276 it's a type of bird. I had never heard about them till I moved to cny. She talks about them in a video from last summer it was hilarious. No one was allowed to go up the drive way
Absolutely amazing.. 🌷🌷👌👌
Thanks for your videos, I love watching them! Could you do a video tour of your farm? I’d love to see just a walk around of it!
There is a thermometer that reads the highest and lowest temp until you re-set it. Very useful to know what is going on in your fridge. Ask a greenhouse salesman or fridge sales person about getting one.
I have one in there. It was cycling between 27 and 42. It wasn’t an issue until the daffodils!
I’m sorry that happened to you! Thanks for sharing your experience. Mistakes will inevitably happen sometimes but it’s how we react to them that matters. I’m sure your CSA members love you and your gorgeous flowers. You are amazing and an inspiration!
Well darn about the cold damage on your beautiful flowers. My mom was a florist and she taught me how to do wedding flowers. It is about the hardest thing in the world to grow a perfect flower and then be able to hold them in a cooler without these things happening once in a while. Fresh flowers are just so fragile. White flowers are so susceptible to bruising or browning. Your anemones have actually fairly long stems, as most have fairly short stems. You might choose to do your anemone bouquets in a nosegay style, which is quite pretty and delicate.
I'm so sorry that happened! I grew fullstar red & blue, & omg the blue is breathtaking! Especially loved it with the pink ranunculus!
It's so gorgeous!
Loved them! Beautiful colors.🌷
Love the arrangements. Just Beautiful.
Oh my, really sorry about the fridge/cooler, making it right will give you an even more trustworthy name. Not to mention like you said, maybe even more beautiful bouquets. Always beautiful, I'd be happy with both Stock in a bouquet. If it were me, I'd grow both, if only to save time from looking for and pulling. I'd love to see your hoop house in bloom.
Love the bouquets!
I just love the Anemones! I grew singles and also added doubles for the first time this season. Truly beautiful! Glad I tried that. I’m adding in more white ones and the nearly black ones too next time. I have very good success with them here in zone 7b GA. I don’t do well with Ranunculus. Our Springs tend to have too many heat spells or the entire Spring heats up too quickly. Glad to see yours doing well in the hoop house.
Beautiful!! ❤❤❤
Such beautiful bouquets!
So humbling for you to share with us your mistake…..very kind of u
So so pretty! Love it💗💜
Great contact Nicole thank you so much for taking time out, it’s a crazy time of the season!!! Hoping you have time to answer where did you get your stock you might’ve mentioned it but I don’t believe I heard it! Please and thank you!!
Gorgeous!!!!
I hope my customers will inform me if and when things like this happen so I can correct 😩 my biggest fear, & I do trial flowers before selling but still ! Thank you for sharing because I use a regular fridge and it’s sketch sometime, so I’m def getting a thermometer !! BEAUTIFUL BOUQUETS 🌺🙌
Gorgeous 😍
Accidents happen. I’m sure you’re CSA members understand. I would.
An orchard by me uses large fans when the temperature gets low. I wonder if air circulation in the cooler would have an effect
I have the exact same issue with my only storage fridge. I have to keep unplugging it off and on. It's terrible!!!
Those bouquets REALLY ARE soooo romantic!!
Very nice! ❤️
Hey-
How's that woodland garden in the back 40?
Is it blooming?
Still sleeping?
Already spent?
I've been following your videos for a couple of years now because I had considered going into the business. Since being a big flower farmer is not in the cards right now, I'd like to grow for myself so I can have vases of flowers for most of the summer. What flowers would you (and your followers) recommend for someone who wants to grow for themselves? What varieties would give me the longest harvest times? I'm in Zone 4b, Minnesota and thinking 5 or 6 different varieties would do the trick. Thank you in advance!!
I'm zone 5 B/A. I'm growing stock for the first time ever this year. I'm curious just how much heat stock will take before it isn't worth growing. I was thinking of planting a few seeds now for a second succession.
I've only had experience with one anemone flower ( patiently awaiting more) and it seems to grow in the vase. Is that just my imagination or just looks taller as the flower matured and turned upward? Thanks for any info. Oh it is a full star pink and I love it!
16:14 - LOL!
Nicole, may I ask if you use the spiral technique to make the bouquets sometimes ?
Still early season. Come June do you face a lot of Japanese beetle pressure?
Can you seed save the anemones? And would you?
Also I would pick the bouquet with the 1 yellow ranunculus!! ❤️
I have no interest in saving anemone seeds! My CSA member Lilly chose that bouquet! She was very excited and messaged me after she picked up.
In the background to the very left bottom of screen....I see a white jug container. Do you condition the water of the buckets while your flowers are sitting in them waiting for bouquet making?
just a note.. I absolutely love watching..and have learned so so much. Thank you !
Yes, I talk about the product here. It's a holding solution th-cam.com/video/UNtKaCgOKLQ/w-d-xo.html
May I ask.. what wheelbarrow/Garden Cart is behind you?
I've been trying to find channel seed starting trays. I looked on your lists of where you got a lot of your supplies and can't find them. I tried to find it on progressive growers and I can't see everything on their site. I tried to request a catalog but a business name is required and I don't have one as of yet. I'm in the education trial growing and building up my perennial stock phase. Is this where you got the channel trays? Thanks
I was able to download the catalog. Bummer ....I found them but I have to order 100 of them. Any idea where they might sell them in smaller quantities?
Nicole, what do you do with leftover flowers? Just put back in the cooler?
I have orders throughout the week so I keep them on hand for last minute purchases, otherwise they are composted when they start to look too old.
@@FlowerHillFarm amen
What does CSA stand for?
Community Supported Agriculture
@@FlowerHillFarm thank you very much, Nicole.
Jesus Christ is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come be saved eternally and spend time with Him to know Him. Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need.
🕊️💕Live righteous and Holy because He said to and paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen hallelujah praise God thank you Jesus . 🙏
I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor, grace and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏
Jesus, Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love and to obey Your truth. That they are living in the truth being taught by You. That they know Your voice and word. Knowing truth from errors, discernment. 💕
We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Jesus should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Jesus for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 🔥
2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 💖
People need to turn from their wicked ways, Jesus paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. We live in obedience to His law, every word if it! He dwells within us all to be with and lead us in His ways. 💕🙏
Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Stop sinning you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus name may you see and know the truth in it's fullness. Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
He's worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said. Jesus said If you love me you will obey my commands. Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.
Praise God hallelujah Jesus.
In Jesus powerful name. 🙏🔥🕊️ 💖
