- Hi Flower Friends! So many of you have been asking me for updates on several projects and happenings from previous videos- so here it is! An update on the lisianthus I started from seed, those sunflowers that the deer ate, dahlias, and the Little Spire Russian Sage I planted last year. I also give an update on my gladiolus! So much happening-- oh and Cool Flowers!

Where did the subscribers come from? From your personality. It is so fun to watch your passionate and goofy and REAL videos!!!!!
You're so kind! Thank you 💞
Second this! Wish there were more people like her around here. 😅 Love goofy people!
Totally agreed and your nature and personality is awesome too ☺️
DONT APOLOGISE FOR YOUR 'GOOFY'!!! Your goofiness brings me cheer whenever I watch your videos xxx
Get those two neighbor girls working on those weeds! From my experience ...they may work for ice cream! Happy to see your progress!
Oh my goodness, when you were talking about the little neighbor girls screaming I just started cracking up, this is probably what my neighbors say about my kids lol I have FOUR little girls, and man can they scream for absolutely NO reason 😂😂😂😂
Since I was a boy, I used to loved flowers and gardening, but never really grew anything. Now with this pandemic thing I started it as a hobby and learning a lot from reading and watching videos like yours. Sometimes I get very frustrated when I see that something is going wrong, but then I hear words like yours and it helps me to be more patient and start loving it again. Thanks for your videos and making us have passion for it. Greetings from Mexico City! ☺️
It’s hard to see things die and fail but that’s completely normal. I had more things die on my farm this year than grow! It just makes me try harder next time 💐 I’m glad you’re trying, Fabio 💐
Don’t ever apologize for who you are! We are subscribing because we love your fun personality 😀 You know that saying “you do you” being true to yourself will bring you success- keep going and growing
You're the best!
yuor goofynesss is intocacating!! makes me so comfortable and your funny 😆
I get it! There's just something about growing things that literally does something to me! I get so excited! From watching a seed sprout, cuttings growing, flowers blooming....they are literally my babies. You remind me of me! So fun! Thanks for sharing!
Your humor is great in this time of stress in the world! Keep on being you!
I plan on being right there with you in landscape fabric-ing the whole place next year!! EEKKSS!!! The grass and weeds are going bonkers!!! It's pretty depressing, but I do have lots of flowers too!
YAY for the lizzies!! I hope they bloom like crazy!! I buy mine locally (Lancaster County, PA) as plugs for 48 for less than $15 with choice of varieties/colors. Yes, I am quite thankful! I don't have a grow light set up, so growing Lizzies is a no go for me. Can't wait to see yours blooming!
Your glads will be amazing!! I didn't have room to put mine in earlier in the season, so I planted 400+ a week or two ago in one day. It might be crazy.....but I didn't want to lose the corms, so ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
Thanks for another super video! Love how you share how real this flower farming experience is. It's not all roses for us growers....but LOVE IT anyhow!
Thank you! I love sharing the real stuff 🥰💐
So excited to see your lisianthus! I only ended up with 5 plants starting from seed and they too are just budding up to bloom. Can't wait to see what they look like. They are so slow to mature, hope the work and wait was worth it. What size organza bags do you recommend for the dahlias? Also, don't be discouraged by the weeds, as long as you get flowers, who cares! One of the things I love about your channel is that you film "real life"! Keep up the great work and thanks again for a fun video.
We love goofy! Also, so envious of your glorious glad garden!!!! Cannot wait to see them all in full bloom. I have but a teeny little suburban garden, but glads sprinkled in Every flower bed!
You’re wonderful. You remind me of my niece who also has a great personality. Love your farm too!
Thank you so much! 💐🥰
I grew procut sunflowers last year. I learned after I cut them, they branched and grew smaller sunflowers on the brached out stem. They ended up developing seeds to harvest on. I am guessing this is how they get seeds because the initial flower head is pollinless and do not develop actual seeds. I saved quite a bit of seeds at the end of the season and will be planting them out this upcoming garden season. I will be doing a video trialing these seeds. Praying they grow/ perform like the mother procut flower 🤞❤🙏
Did you hear the deer deterrent thing that might work is a line of fishing line across. No need for a fence just the horizontal line of fishing line. I may be wrong.
I don't know what it is, but every little girl I have ever known loooooves to go outside and just scream their lungs out. No particular reason why...they just do. lol.
I think you're right 😂 I remember doing the same!
My girls love to have screaming contests just for fun drives me insane
I get a flower CSA from a local farm and they have a spring, summer and “addict” share and they just have all the bouquets available and you just come pick which one you want first come first serve! Enjoy your farm is lovely!!!
Do they have a website you can share?
Hey, just wanted to say I love your videos. I'm from a small farm town myself, but I moved overseas years ago to China and then Cambodia. It's been exciting, but I miss my hometown with its farms and quaint buildings. Some day I want to move back. Your videos remind me a little bit of home as a fellow small town northeasterner.
Thanks for sharing!! There's nothing like home :)
Love the name for your future book. Lehman's for rubber gaskets. Been watching and enjoying your past videos. Goofy is a good thing. Glad I discovered your channel!
Hallo Nicole how are you and your family members so much more and more and a lot of VIDEO to
😂 Snakey-poo! You are so fun!
That’s the only part I fear about gardening “ snakes” 😱
“Guys, I almost have a thousand subscribers. Where did that come from?”
1 year later: almost 40,000 💚
Thanks for info and keeping it real my friend
I had great success with Lisianthus misting twice a day. I also experimented with germinating them in my aerogarden and they sprouted in 3(not a typo) days!!!! Also, my zinnias act like divas throwing a tantrum in the heat too, acting like they can't even stand up straight. But they always perk back up. Please keep it up with the Business information! I'm starting mine up next year, moving to a larger property next month. Told my current neighborhood of 380+ houses I was starting a flower farm and I got over a hundred emails asking about it and now I am hiding under my bed pretending I don't exist because I thought I would have to struggle to find even ten customers and planned on next year being about getting a firm foundation for the business. Anything and everything you share is helpful!
😂 Hiding under the bed LOL. Yea, I'd panic too. I'm glad to keep up with my current demand but realize how much I need to expand!
The deer love my sunflowers. Love them.
How do you organize or know when stuff blooms to have things at the same time? Your doing an amazing job!!! This was my first year gardening and most of my stuff in my flowerbeds all bloomed at different times... I don’t mind but I’m over here like HOW DO YOU DO ALL THIS!!! Lol KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
😂😂😂 I thought you said I just gotta pee 😂😂😂😂 then you showed the pea pod! Lol!
I love all your goofy thrip!
I enjoy your videos. Keepin' it real!! This is my first year to start snaps from seed and I did not use a heat mat because I read they wanted soil temps of about 65. So I just set them aside and they germinated well. I AM SO EXCITED. I also started violas and pansies that way. Imagine, if you will, black violas in Orange plastic pumpkins...
That sounds amazing! Love that color combo 🎃🥰
I think when you succession plant bulbs, you need to do it at least two weeks apart so they don’t catch up and all bloom together!
Your flowers are so beautiful
Found you recently. Funny, we had a house in Morehouseville NY. Right down the road from you. Never knew Booneville had a nice downtown. I have only been on RT 12. I have been enjoying all your flowers. Going to step up my flower game next year. Thanks!
Thank you, Trudy! We have a tiny downtown but we love it!
New subscriber here! Love your humor! So happy to discover your channel!
Welcome! Thank so much 🥰💐🌻
Blue Flowers: Centaurea montana (perennial); Eryngium planum Blau Kappe; Grape Hyacinth Valerie Finnis; Veronica spicata or longifolia; Delphinium Connecticut Yankee, Tweedia caerulea; Allium caerulea. Here's a few more to add to the list.
I love your goofiness!!
Thank you 💐😂
I had something similar happen to my sunflowers. I left them in a 72 cell tray for too long, and afterabout a week, when I finally put them in the ground, Ilthey all sent up about 10 side shoots!!!
Sweet
I was lucky with lisianthus and their vase life is long. Thank goodness you could not get Mr snake to show up. I read somewhere lisianthus do not like their roots to be crowded with weeds. Can you please show how to put a net for glads
Yikes, a snake!!!! What kind? And you don’t worry about it biting you or wrapping around your leg? Aaaaaah! 😱 Love your garden. ❤️
No, they are pretty timid around here. This was a common garter snake, poisonous snakes are rare here in New York. They are my buddies ! Ha! Thank you-
Congrats on 1k
I don't do the CSA's by me. My family is to picky as far as veggies go and I grow a lot of what we need. I haven't seen a flower CSA but next time at the farmer's market I will check it out. I would do a spring one, the rest of the time I grow a lot of flowers. Next year I am going to try Lisianthus again and plant more calories and amaranth. Thanks to you I am fast running out of space that gets enough sun.
Hi Love your channel, been in the retail greenhouse business for over 30 yrs and just retired last yr, now im starting a cut flower farm on my 2 acre horse pastures....trying to figure out how to lay my beds, no till, or weed mat etc, learning alot from you, stay real and keep having fun! I cant find your large heating mat link? Ive already ran out of heat mat space need to buy more. Thanks
Here it is! amzn.to/311G2f3
1k subscribers You Go Girl! You've inspired me. I finally got up the nerve to stop in local florist to ask if they would be interested in local flowers. They said YES! Sunflowers are in huge demand. On another note, I have a slightly different variety of Frosted Explosion grass growing in my garden (free - I did not plant); the florist loved it. Panicum Philadelphicum (positively identified by my local botanist). I believe the Frosted Explosion grass sold by Floret / Johnnys Seeds is Panicum Elegans. Quick question which netting do you use for zinnias? I see Johnnys has different sizes of Hortonova FA 36", 42" 38"...etc
Woohoo! That's awesome- this is my netting...48 www.amazon.com/Tenax-084067-100521793-Hortonova-Trellis/dp/B00JNTSBUK
@@FlowerHillFarm Nicole Thank you for the link :) Love, love, love your vlogs. Garden Answer, Impatient Gardener, FreshCutKY and your channel have become my 'go to ' TH-cam Channels. :) With love from NH
I love your channel
Hi Nicole help me find your Instagram page! I just found you. Also in upstate ny! Your adorable and ya make me smile,🌸
I just found her on Facebook and sent her a friend request
@flowerhillfarmny
So I could be wrong about this, but with our farm, when we planted glads they grow by "season time". Like the different varieties will tell you "early", "mid", or "late" season so by that logic if you planted early season glads last they could still mature and bloom before the mid- late season glads. We were also very confused our first year growing them LOL
Good point! I've never succession planted them before and they were all a "mix" so I don't know specific varieties to look them up! Next year I'll be buying specific colors to color block them in the fields. 🥰💐
I recently discovered you and I absolutely love your videos. If you don’t mind me asking where will you be getting your lisianthus seeds from next year?
Gosh I'm just loving your videos! So enjoyable and learning a lot😊 Thank you 🌹
MAY I ASK who is the new wholesaler for lisianthus seeds that you mention? AND ALSO...did you have success with the PROCUT sunnies being precut by the deer?!
THANKS ❣️
Geo Seed. They are currently backed up with orders!
Lol.... you are so fun to watch 😃.....is because of you that’ll wrong lizzies next yr!!!!!🤪🌷🌷🌻🌻🌻🌸🌸🌸🌼🌼💐
Thanks, Dora!
U should do a flower farming/ veggie Q&A for your 1000 sub special
I live in a subdivision so I don't have a problem with deer eating my sunflowers. It is the squirrels that get mine.
Same thing happening to my sunflowers its blooming in reverse !!
Hey Nicole. I'm so addicted to your personality and knowledge and have been binge watching 😁. I'm curious if you thought 1wk apart on the glads was good or what your thoughts are on going 10-14 days apart? Thanks from zone 5b Canuck land 🇨🇦😉
Hey Roxanne! I'll be spreading them out to about 10 days next year. So many bloomed at the same time!
@@FlowerHillFarm Thanks, since it's just for me small scale (1 acre) to give to my doc office and neighbours etc I think I should be good with every 2wks then. Can't wait to see whatcha got going on for the Winter months.
Nicole, I've been hooked on your videos since you started your lisianthus. I get such a kick out of you! I tell my husband you are my BFFF (Best Flower Friend Forever) How do you like planting in the Bio360? Do you have to make holes in it prior to planting or just punch the holes in as you go? I'm curious because I use Sunbelt weed barrier and I'd love to get another growers perspective. Do you till in the Bio360? How well does it break down? Oh boy that's a lot of questions, sorry!
Awwwww BFFF!! 💐🥰🌻
😍
Moth balls will detour deer & other animals from eating your stuff. I just use mesh bags & hang moth balls around to keep deer away, but don't put it too close to flowers that need pollinators cause the moth balls might detour your pollinators too.
I actually have had several per snakes...
@9:25 might be difference in DTM, if they are a different variety. Also you mentioned that you were going to link where you get your heat mats but I do not see a link :( @FlowerHillFarms
Canning jar rubber rings at ace hardware but you have to order them
❤💚🌱
Succession planting by staggering never works out for me. I grow veggies though, so there are some differences. What works for me is planting varieties that have shorter days to maturity and longer to maturity varieties. Like a carrot that takes 65 days to pick and one that takes 80 days planted on the same day.
Good stuff! That is how snapdragons work-- it is ALL about the bloom date. Thanks Danielle!
OLD style gaskets for Ball jars...try Lehman's online
What fertilizer do you use once you planted in the ground for your flower plants
Neptune's Harvest- same as when they are seedlings!
What are you doing other than bags for pest control? I’m in florida... we CREATED bugs!
Neem oil, Capt Jacks Dead Bug-- there are other options!
How did it go with the procut with multi stems? Were they tall enough for you? Would you cut them in the future?
I wasn’t a fan of them
The deer ate the tops of my sunflowers too this year, they must be tasty 😕
Ugh! It's the worst!
What is your spacing when you plant sunflowers?
4-6 inches
Have you thought about using cardboard to control you weed issues? It works great and takes most of the work out of weed control. There are lots of TH-cam videos on using cardboard of old newspapers for the control of weeds. It works, I've been using it for years and was shocked the first time I used it and didn't have to weed for 3 years before updating the cardboard.
I have a shed full of cardboard hoping to try it out. I like to watch Charles Dowding for these methods! He's great.
@@FlowerHillFarm He is great and his method is great. The first beds I did, I covered with 8 ply of newspaper. I then mulched the top, because I didn't like the look of the wet paper. It was the best thing I have ever learned about gardening.
How do u cook the patty pan, we bought some but don’t. Know how to cook it
Just like other squash! Yummy 🙂
Do you always put a support net around your gladiolus?
I do not. I actually did not see a huge difference with the ones I did not use netting on.
Have you tried propagating them from cutting? 🤔🤔
I have not!
My costumers complained about the dahlias not staying so long in the vase...do you have any recommondations on that? How long do yours stay?
Oh man! I always warn mine they don't last long but nobody has ever complained. Have you tried the boiling water trick?
@@FlowerHillFarm tried it yesterday. :) stems get kind of brown then, which is not so pretty, but a big dahlia farm said they should last 5-6 days then...Im in Austria by the way, there are only a few other flower farmers so far (i think 3 or 4). :) i love your videos.
@@sarahalruna2686 Hi! I have found with dahlias that if you use hot tap water (not boiling) it works really well. We harvest into that water, then let cool to room temp. and from there you came put them in a cooler and such. We tend to average about 5-6 days on our vase life.
What are the grow mats you use? Have a link?
amzn.to/3hXa9Kj Yup! These. I meant to add them to my list and forgot- thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to respond ❤️
Do you save your seeds?
I have saved seeds but not for everything. I save marigold, sunflower and a few veggies!
Ma na ma na doo doo do do do MA NA MA NA
Oh lord I hate snakes. Be careful they might bite
What does CSA stand for?
Community Supported Agriculture. Customers basically buy a subscription to the flowers in advance. Each member gets 5 bouquets over the season. It's most common with a Vegetable CSA. It is a way for farmers to raise funds to pay for farming in the beginning of the season.
My friend daughter I like watch you
Thank you!
The pepper looks like Naga King chilli, one of the hottest pepper in the world.
😂😂you funny
😂🥰
Where are you garden flowers I'm garden flowers in Oshkosh WI
I'm in New York State!
"If you leave them for 48 hours they will probably be dead. They are like children 😆"
Great way to lose me as a viewer. No snakes please 🥺
Snakes are definitely a part of my farm and will "pop" up from time to time! Sorry!
