Harvest Time on the Flower Farm : Lily Overload
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ค. 2020
- Hi, Flower Friends! Join me during my nightly ritual of harvesting! It's that time of year where I am harvesting twice a day. Today we have the last of my snapdragons, the first of my dianthus and some lilies! The cooler is overflowing with some goodies. The delivery to the florist can't come soon enough! #snapdragons #flowerfarm #flowerfarmer #lilyseason #lilies #flowerhillfarm #dianthus

Beautiful
You are such a fun person.
Thank you
Snaps r so pretty.
Lilies are heavenly. I hope you can help soon.
You need a separate frig in the garage or walk-in cooler
"You should never guarantee things, just do your best" my new life motto, thank you for the video girl 💕
Cloves.... dianthus smell like cloves. So lovely! Thank you for your videos 😊
Stripping those lillies looks satisfying!
You are such a nut. I love it
You are a breath of fresh air to watch. You're just doing your thing so authentically and it really reads through that you love what you're doing. Thank you for sharing your journey and especially these sweet little moments that make it all worth it!

Hi Nicole, Your theme song is just so perfect for you! The banjo is very seldom used and " I LOVE IT". Its a great "Fit". Blessings to you. Laurene
It is such a joy to rewatch your videos in December. 🤩
Maybe I should watch some to bring me back to happy days of flowers! 💐😂
Your videos are absolutely delightful! Love your energy and love seeing your gardening spaces!
Just recently discovered your channel and I love seeing how passionate you are about flowers. I am a beginner flower farmer. Next year will be my first and it's great to discover new varieties and possibilities from people like yourself. Thankyou for sharing
You're very welcome! It's an adventure 💐
I'm also starting my first cut flower garden next year a
Oh my gosh, you are my favorite person to watch on you tube! I found you about a month ago and I have binge watched every video you've uploaded!!. I am an aspiring flower farmer and you truly make me feel like I can actually do this. Thank you for being so real and down to earth. It makes you so easy and enjoyable to watch. I have laughed with you in so many of your videos and even cried with you when you lost your little hen. Keep posting as much as possible! You tube needs more people like you!
I love watching your earlier videos where you are still learning. It is so inspirational that in just a few seasons I too can be better and further along on my flower journey. Love your channel and I look forward to the grow along this year
Beautiful lillies!
Yeah, I've missed seeing you! You bring joy to my life and help me be myself in my enjoyment of all things flowers.
Awe! 💞💐 Be true to you! Glad to help.
Note to self: Make raised bed edges wide enough to set my coffee cup on. That color blocking suggestion is gold, thank you!
Thank you for sharing all its beautiful
What a beautiful flowers u have. And seeing you explained all about it makes me really motivated to sow seeds of lovely flowers of my own use...😍
Oh my i enjoyed the whole video, amazing flower garden, how can they be so beautiful. Keep safe always.
Thank you, I will
I'm just gonna join the choir of people saying how happy they are to have stumbled upon your channel. It's the 1st of December in rainy North Rhine Westphalia and I will fall asleep thinking about snapdragons and other joys of summer I'm gonna sow for the upcoming season. Definitely thankful for that!
Thank you 💐
I don’t know if you realize how much info you share here , every word is a valuable piece of info, for me at least.
Thank you for doing this 🤗
OMG I’m Speechless I just can’t get over all the lilies I nearly fainted so beautiful. Wow wish you were at my local market
Do the flowers at the top of those snaps open? How long before they do?
There are so many 72 cell trays - flimsy ones, sturdy ones that last forever, ones with a tray underneath, a clear hood on top - do you recommend any for your starts? Thank you!
Have learned so much from you. When I grow up.........❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I so enjoy your flowers thank you. Very inspiring.
I'm so glad!
I've just found you as I'm on my own journey to flower farming. But I must say, your daughter's name gave me pause. My life was shaped, in part, by a precious lady named Vada. She was one of the most beautiful people I've ever known. I hadn't heard anyone else named that before. I hope your sweet Vada becomes such a lady as the one I knew and loved.
How many varieties and stems before it is enough for a bouquet bar?
Pretty Queens Ann lace
Nicole, here is a tip that might help you in a pinch with the droopy dill if you need it in a hurry. After harvest, place the stems in a plastic container with boiling water. Let the water cool. The flowers should hydrate during that time. I've been using this trick (not with dill though) and it has worked with everything so far. I got it from Lori at Three Acre Farm. She owns a U Pick flower farm in Michigan, if memory serves. Great video! I love watching your journey unfold. I'm still feeling less confident in the success of my venture, but I love how you just go for it!
I've heard about this with lots of other blooms, but haven't tried yet! Thanks 😊💐
Nicole, how did you decide prices for your CSA? Since I am starting out, I don't want to under- or overprice my work. What resources did you use?
We went over pricing in the flower course I took with Lisa. It's prety standard for CSA to be $100 for 5 bouquets.
I may run a special around the holidays that would be $100 for 6
@@FlowerHillFarm I'm saving up to take the next FFS class she offers. I can't wait!
That sound is so satisfying.
Binge watching all of your videos!
P.S: You make me 🤣! My husband looks at me like I’m crazy when I have my earbuds on watching your videos. 🤪😘
Addicted.. watching all your videos. My fave was "going for a walk". Thanks for the heart, content, fun and info. It's crazy, I recognize your early logo from a dahlia group on FB we are both in. Small social media world 🌎
Proud of all your effort. I am living the dream through you! I am putting in a Couple more rows in my cutting garden and I've bought about a bazillion seeds! Would love to have some lilies, but I keep telling myself, "you only have so much room in this backyard."
Aw, Peggy! Thank you. What did you buy? I love to talk seeds!
You are so hilarious you should have way more subscribers love your Channel
😂😂💐 Thanks!
First video I’ve seen, you have a very calming voice. Love the flowers.
Can u talk about r David Austin roses
How do u know how to price flowers
New subscriber here! So fun when I discovered your channel!😍
Thanks for subbing! Welcome!
I have seeds for Frosted Explosion grass, and have been looking forward to next year when I can start it and it will come up. Nice to see what it looks like in the wild. (My jaw dropped when you just THREW IT ON THE GROUND!)
It's everywhere! LOL
I just discovered you. I love your energy. I have subscribed.
Thank you!
So who do u sell all those flowers to? Who is Dave gallon
huh frozen explosion grass - that's what I've been seeing in my garden this year :)
Love your videos! How are your David Austin roses doing? Are you able to get a harvest off of them in the first year? Thank you so much for showing what flower farming is like in real life.
I only have had one bloom so far. They ended up suffering from mites for a bit and I had to work to fight them off. Stems are too short for any bouquet work. I bought them more for personal enjoyment 🥰
This time of year it is especially hard for me to keep my nails clean. I have been getting into selling flower arrangements at my local farmer's market and I am reviewing some of your videos for advice.
💡idea how fun would it be to see if you could create a bouquet from free flowers 🌸 around the farm that you didn’t plant.
I just got back from a little hike from the woods and was inspired to do just that! 💐
Hi Nicole.
Very nice video.
Harvesting time soon comeback.
stem cutter in your underarms .hahaha.Nice.I pray you and your family always be happy.
Ok bye .
Wonderful video! Covid has derailed my plans for my flower farm in Australia - i have the house and land all ready, but we're restricted at the moment, so my first attempt will be an autumn planting next April for a spring/summer harvest 2021. Thanks - I'll be following along.
Best of luck to you! 💐
@@FlowerHillFarm Thank you, thank you, thank you !!
I wonder how the floral wedding is going to be this year? I know it's sad to say this but there's a boom in funeral floral work.
Love watching harvest video's they are my favorite. Do you ever plant daisies?
I have wild daisies here but I have not planted them. Maybe next year!
Hey Nicole! After watching this video the other day, I was on a mission to find Frosted Explosion Grass in our field. Score!! So cool to learn about it! Thanks!! Is it weird that I look for it every time I go out for a walk now?
Woohoo! Always. Carry. Clippers. 😂👍💐
Hey Nicole! I'm just watching this now because I planted a few lillies and they look ready to harvest. Where did you say you got your lillies? I would like to do more for next year. Do you dig yours up for winter? I live about 2 hours north of you. Thank you!
Do you save all the glads and dahlias for next year. If you do would you consider showing us how you do it?
Yes I do! I attempt to anyway- there will always be some loss. I'll definitely have a video on my method. 💐
Thank you! This overwintering info will be very useful for me. I bought 75 glad bulbs this year because I love them, so I figured it would be worth the extra work. I've mostly avoided those types of flowers till now. Last year I bought a small dahlia, planted it in a hanging basket and when it was time, just brought the whole basket into the garage for the winter. I want to buy more dahlias, but don't feel confident that I'll do the overwintering thing properly. I feel like I must be missing some crucial info.
You are quite funny! Your flowers are amazing. I hope to start a cutting garden on a teeny tiny scale next year so your advice will be very helpful. Thanks!

Excellent, thanks!
Hi nicole!
Good morning!
Just found you this week during the snowstorm in Texas. I was raised south of Buffalo NY, I love to watch your journey. Now I am in Texas, zone 8a. Flowers are completely different here. Where did you say you bought your Lily’s?

@@FlowerHillFarm thank you!! I am now a southern girl and I could not catch that!! Watching you planning video right now. Love your spreadsheets!!!
Please share how you treat the wild Queen Anne's Lace. Does it have a long vase life? I live in a rural area and it is all over. Also, I have read that the lily plant needs those leaves to store energy for the next year. Do you treat them like an annual and one season and they are done? Love watching your videos.
I haven't done anything special to it and I've been getting about a week. Harvest when 80% is open. Farming lilies are usually treated as an annual like tulips. I'll leave a small patch and see what happens next year!
I’m harvesting lilies this week too! Are you planning to pull up all those lily bulbs after the season to succession plant next year like you did this year? That’s a lot of bulbs!
I'd really like to. I'm not sure how well they will come back. I'm not sure I have enough fridge space to store them all! 😂💐 Most farmers treat lilies as an annual, like tulips.
@@FlowerHillFarm Why? We have lillies in our front yard and they keep coming back up every year without doing anything. Bulbs continue to divide and we get fresh flowers every year!
@@FlowerHillFarm Tulips also come back every year. Yeh they don't divide as much or not at all, but he intial bulbs I had planned, they come come back every year! 🤔
Are you thinking about using the bronze fennel as greenery?
I would use that! Gorgeous
Love your garden! How much area do you have fenced in?
Not sure exactly...I would guess quarter acre?
You are funny!
Hello & Greetings from Singapore! Your lilies are gorgeous.
Just found your channel and I love it!! But I thought lilies only open for a day. How are these used in a bouquet?!
Hi Andrea! Thanks! "Daylilies" only open for a day and then fall off, same with the wild orange ones you may see along the roadside. They are NOT good in bouquets. Asiatic and other lily types like Trumpet or LxA and Oriental can last up to three weeks! They are superb for cut flowers.
Mind blown! 🤯 haha! Thank you so much for your reply! I’m definitely adding some of them to my garden this year!
Yay!
If you don't mind me asking, how many Snapdragons did you plant this year? I want to sow a TON of these but I have no idea how often florists use them. (I intend on selling direct to florists and I already have a few interested but they haven't given me quantities!!)
I believe I started about 280 plants.
@@FlowerHillFarm Thank you! I can't wait to see how the rest of your year turns out.
