    Hi Nicole, i'm from Vietnam, far far away from you, but i just want u to know that i love your voice, your sense of humor, your energy... i love the imperfection beuty of your flower farm and each day when i get lazy for doing the gardening in a hot day (over 40 Celsius) i just keep reminding myself that Nicole can managed her huge farm alone so why i am not. And thanks for keep updating the TH-cam video in these quarantine days. Love.

    Beautiful. It has taken us 3 years to establish a wildflower area on a hill behind our house. We’ve had to spray and kill grass over and over and go out and pick out weeds to give the wildflowers a chance to thrive. It worked and now it’s beautiful.

    Nicole the butterflies & especially that hummingbird moth would make any entomologist drool. Especially watching the mechanics of the way its wings flutter. Also schools & universities may keep butterfly stats & would love the info. Do you ever send this type of info to govt/state databases?
    I’ve been involved in a 5 year Butterfly Atlas in eastern Canada. So love your swallowtail & monarchs!

    Greetings from our California Garden! ~ Your farm is glorious as are your flowers. An idea... if you don't mind mind us sharing... is to plant a PermaKultur border as your deer perimeter. It would provide natural options without wire fencing, allow feeding only on the exterior simultaneously protecting the inside. It can be drought tolerant to your area and low to no maintenance once matured. It might also provide a noise, dust, privacy filter to the roadway. Besides it would be Botanically Beautiful! ~ Thank you for your cheerful vibrant videos!

    Keep the milkweed plants! They are necessary if you want monarch butterflies to stay around. Somewhere on the internet is info on how certain varieties of milkweed are necessary to monarchs, and that one should plant local varieties, not import or seed non-local varieties of milkweed since not all of them are beneficial. Otherwise you have a nice variety of colorful wild flowers. Let it re-seed itself every year. (Well, maybe not too much goldenrod or ragweed; they're a disaster for allergy sufferers.) You have a lovely wildflower patch, so I hope you keep it up.
    Hummingbird moths are really interesting. I didn't know they even existed until one year a couple of decades ago when I had hanging pots on the porch with tons of impatiens in them (impatiens don't stink and they keep blooming until frost kills them; their seed pods actually produce a popping sound when they burst). As I was watering, a hummingbird moth unexpectedly came up to the plants next to me, uncurled that looooong "mouth" and started feeding. It even had iridescent colors like our local hummingbirds (but no way to confuse the two; my mother had a hummingbird feeder outside her kitchen window so I know what the local hummingbirds look like). So I called the local wildlife station and asked if there was such a thing as hummingbird moths, and there are.
    Unfortunately, some kind of stinky mold (or whatever) took up camp in the soil of my hanging pots (that I'd filled with store-bought potting soil), I'm allergic, so dumped them out and never used hanging plants again. Yeah, having pollen allergies to most outdoor plants and trees is a real nuisance..., but I still love looking at flowers and other nature shows (except legless crawling reptiles which terrify me). Birds, butterflies, assorted wild mammalian species are gorgeous and fascinating!

    In case you haven't heard of it: one method of deer deterrence is human urine. So have someone go out one night and pee where the trails enter the flowers. The deer will take a detour (though I don't know how large a detour. Multiple locations may need an application.)
