Yes, please make a video whenever you do bouquets. Each one is different and I love seeing the beautiful flowers.
Will do! Thanks!
An old man in this village, actually the old major, has grown hundreds of gladiolus every year, just out of his own interest, he told me he always interplanted his flowers with heaps of tagetes, that kept bugs away.
I love love love Queen Anne's lace. When I got married, 34 years ago, I dried hundreds of stems of QA lace in silica gel and used it to decorate dozens of Christmas trees. I got married on Dec 20th so wedding decor was very wintery and Christmassy. Not sure why I shared that lol....thought you would find it interesting.
Every time you say 'Hi flower friends'; I say 'Hi, Nicole' lol Hubby's like 'who are you talking to?' me: 'Nicole'. Hubby, 'oh that goofy flower lady?' lol ;) OMG those sunflowers - GORGEOUS. One of my fav cut flowers this year is Echinops ritro ‘Veitch’s Blue’ - Globe Thistle. I raise honeybees and it's a fav with the girls as well. I used that grass in a bouquet today-I call it foxtail. Love it - free filler! OH, BTW - burdock and hair - NOT a good combo. While cutting flowers this afternoon, not just one, but several of those lil buggers stuck in my hair. Had to use the Scissors to cut myself loose from this beast. Lets just say 'hair; it will grow back' *!@#$ Yes, more bouquet videos - I'm still learning. Especially, how you prep. ie. do you remove all the leaves on zinnias, dahlias..etc? At what point to harvest zinnia, dahlias.
Hahaha I love it! I have been wanting to get my hands on the Globe Thistle! So fun. Foxtail is a great name for that grass- I'm totally stealing it! UGH When I was 12 I had to cut my hair for the same reason!
Yes always do vids of your bouq making 😊
Okay definitely not the only reason that this channel is gold, but for the sake of comment length, I NEED you to know how valuable vase life information is. Like all of that resting period info I have learned somewhat but never articulated it even though i began practicing it naturally. And the nugget about basil not doing well in the fridge, LITERALLY just learned that last night from my market bouquets (luckily they rebounded) but anyways, please continue blurting out all of the random detailed lessons you’ve learned about cutting, storing, prepping, etc. GOLD!!!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 -Miranda SE Virginia
Also: I totally see bucktooth durrs in gladiolus blooms
😂😂😂💐
Love you Nicole how you keep it so real im so Thankful I found your Channel keep doing what you do May GOD Bless you Girll 😇
Flower friends are great! Idk what it is about flower & Vegetable gardener's but we're so generous & caring & thoughtful & helpful!
We can never tire of watching you make bouquets so let them keep coming 🤗🤗
Yes to the bouquet videos!! 😀
Would love to see whenever you do flower arranging. Love getting ideas for boquets.
8:23 Bless you 🙏
Great tip on the "rest period" for the basil! Thanks!
I love everything you do from making bouquets to plantings and even when you talk to the chickens, lol I say the same thing when I sneeze to, bless me ,and God bless you always my flower friend. 🙂😘🤗
😊 thank you
Flowers are my jam too. I love watching you. Keep it up.
I cant unsee the screaming glad now!!
Love your videos! So excited to see your subscriber numbers growing...I’m sure they are finding your videos as informational and FUN as I do. Thank you for sharing the harvesting aspect and bouquet making. Great to see at what stages you harvest everything and how to prep/use each item for a bouquet! Also happy to see your name pop up on The Impatient Gardener’s Dahlia talk yesterday! What a good time that was!
Thank you so much- I love Erin! I always learn something from my TH-cam friends!
I recently learnt about cut flowers at the Great Lake Expo and was hooked. Started researching and your videos kept popping up. I love your spirit and you are so talented and comical. Your videos are making my winters days so much better. Beautiful 😊💐
That is awesome! I also attended the Great Lakes Expo and was pleasantly surprised to hear Dave Dowling mention my channel during his presentation! I am glad you are here!
@@FlowerHillFarm wow, you also attended! 😊It was my first time doing this conference. I am a Cultivate girl. Had no idead Dowling spoke, I am familiar with him a couple years now. I was in the greenhouse track sessions. The last day and it was all about cut flowers.
Today is a few days before Christmas. Good time to see pretty flowers! And dream of Spring. Merry Christmas!
Found your channel, watched almost every video in a couple of days, so enjoyable. Can't wait to see your dahlias. Have a great gardening week.
Welcome aboard! So nice to hear. Thank you!
I am learning sooo much from you Nicole. Thank you thank you!
You are so welcome!
I love the queen anns lace story
I think it is important there are a variety of voices! (Especially, one in my zone!) Thanks for being out there! I am glad I found your channel! You are inspiring me!
You’re very welcome 💐👩🏻🌾
OMG all the flowers are gorgeous. I just enjoy seeing all the flowers in the field and in your bouquets. I am definitely going to plant some sunflowers next year! I would definitely be interested in your bouquet making videos. By the way, I really like the soundtrack to your videos! Very calming and soothing. Good luck with your porch sale!
Thank you! The music calms me too as I'm editing :) Yes, you should definitely grow sunnies! I almost sold out at the sale! It was a great morning.
@@FlowerHillFarm What is the name of the song?
It is called Fresh Fallen Snow
So sorry for a long, long posted below but I learned a lot from you . Yes, I have to spray for Thrips only and CONGRATS on your 1 k but soon you will get way more and hopefully sponsors ! 😁❤️
I'm a fairly new follower (I'd seen some videos, here and there) but now I'm binging. Lol! I'm loving it!!
I would love to watch/learn about your sunflowers how you pick which varieties, when are they ready to harvest, any tricks on how to have a stronger neck.
Just discovered your channel today and I'm loving it! Bingeing while decorating gourd birdhouses. I grow cut flowers for a farmer's market but not near the scale you do. Appreciate all the tips! (btw, you sneeze like I do - loud and proud!)
Loud and proud 😂🥰
Thank you for your videos, I aspire to start a tiny urban flower farm someday and I am in cold Canada, it’s great finding someone making videos on the subject that also lives in a colder zone. I look forward to keep learning more from you! Yé for à 1000 subs!
Hi, Frosty Flower Friend! 💐❄
You're right about the Gladiolus! Lol!
Right!? I can't unsee the screaming face now!
@@michelleodell1236 me either!
I think I am going to start with just two varieties this year. We a in the middle of Colorado and tons of sunlight while it storms all around us. I am so excited to starts.
Love your channel.
Thank you!
Yayyy to more videos!! I have a big garden but I don‘t spray anything there - even though the bugs are going all in there 🤣... but I am not selling anything so that‘s the difference. But I have over 100 houseplants and I have dealt with thrips. They are the worst pest! Spraying is the only option otherwise they will transfer to all my other houseplants. ..... Your flowers look beautiful. Greetings from Germany 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Thanks! I definitely only use organic pesticides when absolutely necessary. Fortunately, I have not seen any other thrips since the first ones. Fingers crossed!
No definite help on the Thrips....I lost 400 Glads blooms last year to them! It was quite disappointing!! I saved the bulbs though, and treated them with antifungal type stuff this year before planting them. Hoping that will help though I might spray them too. Hope you find what works for you! LOVE your Glads!! YES, more bouquet videos!!!!!
Sorry to hear that- fortunately I haven't seen anymore thrip damage so far. PHEW! I'll have to look into treating them this fall for sure. Thanks!
Yessss....make the shirts that would be awesome 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I have so many lizards... when you say something is on you... it makes me laugh. I've had a tiny (maybe 1.5 inch) baby lizard crawl off my flower into my hand. Love your videos. Keep posting please.
That is awesome! I want baby lizards and now my daughter is begging for them! :)
K, I just met you and I love you!🤣🤣🤣 Steph here from Petals & Pigs Flower Farm in Oregon. I love your videos, you make me chuckle.😍
Hiiii, Flower Friend! 💐👍😂
Yes please..... would love to see bouquet video everytime
You were blushing! 😆 😆 😉🌸
I was!!!
THOSE LILYS!!!!
I think it would be good to share you making bouquets so we can watch as you get better over time
"Earwigs, they're gonna get the dead brew too". 💀 😂
Can you make future video on how to set up a csa and dealing with op outs as you mentioned etc 😃
I can never unsee the screaming gladiolus face🤣 have you ever looked at the KFC logo? The kernel has an enormous head and his tie looks like a tiny stick body😆
Ha! I see it!
I had this same look on my purple lissies last week & I assumed it was from the heavy rain 🤔 could have been thrips though.
Yes, more bouquet videos. I want to see Gina's zinnias! Matter of fact I enjoy any video you make.
Btw, did you not end up using your spirea? I used some of mine, the blooms shed but the ones with the little buds were nice.
I did use a few stems- they lasted about a week! Thank you!
I'm new to glads. I have about 3 in growth right now. Should I do preventive care for thrips now or when they are close to harvest?
I’m in zone 8 on the Texas/Arkansas state line and all my first planted gladiolus have bloomed and are dying back. Do I need to do anything with them? What does thrip damage look like? I saw your fire video early in the year and started following you. You’re very talented! Yes please share what you’re growing for next year. I’ve ordered 1000 Darwin tulips for my front border. I’ve placed most of my orders for fall planting but am going to order more dahlias. Thanks
I grow not too far from Texarkana! My gladiolus finished a couple of weeks ago. This humidity is smothering! 😲
Hi from Oregon
Hi Mark!
Since you're allergic to Lilies, do you take some sort of antihistamine for the reaction. Love your vids keep them coming. Binge watching them all :)
I will never look at glads the same way lol
Hi Nicole! I am struggling with the same issue about Thrips and spider mites....My whole cut flower garden got attacked badly, and all the corps are damaged. I find thrips even in some plants that supposed to be pest free, such as snaps, zinnias, gomphrenas....In every flower of snapdragons and petunias, there are a family of thrips! I was wondering if how do you contain the thrip damage in only of the gladiolus patch? I tried the Captain Jack and it does work for a while but the thrips will come back in no time. I know you are supposed to cover the whole plant with the spray, but obviously I won't be able to spay into every bloom of every plant. I don't know if it is because of the extra hot summer or what, but I am seriously bugged by these little demons this year. PLEASE HELP ME😭
Flowers pretty
Where do you store your flowers to keep them cool
Fridge or basement right now.
😍
Nicole,
I found information on that nasty “Thrip” and how to get rid of them or a least keep them at bay. I’ll send you that information via your email okay. You’re work joy in “fresh flowers 💐 “ is inspiring 💐😊
Awesome, thank you!
Your logo is so beautiful. I would definitely buy a shirt with your logo. Do you do merch?
I do! Flowerhillfarmny.com 💞🥰💐
Hi Nicole, I was watching a video from Fraser Hill Nursery and they use nematodes like Steinerema feltiea to get rid of fungus gnats AND THRIPS since the larva live in the soil. I've used nematodes to get rid of beetle grubs which really worked. Maybe that would help in your case?
It sure would! That’s something I am exploring this spring- it takes a couple years for those methods to have an impact but i definitely think it’s worth trying 💐
Thrips will DESTROY gladiolas. I used to work for JW Jung seed co. and we planted acres of glads. We had to spray them often. If I were you, I would spray them often or you will end up with a lot of bulbs and no flowers. Do you save and plant the small corms?
1 . i had to google thrips. Ewwww no bueno. Do you think they came on the corms?
2. Youre so cookie...i loves it!!!!
3. We're all a little tarnished, let the imperfect girls live.
4. I think ive caught your 'ooo thats my favorite' problem. Everything you showed I was panting...and I wanna put my face in the basil. Lol
5. We 💙 Gina!!
I'm not sure where they came from! Maybe.....it's pretty common and it deters farmers from growing them because of the thrips. I have SO MANY FAVORITES!!!
@@FlowerHillFarm I've read also that thrips can come from improperly stored corms. I guess if you store below 40 degrees and above 32 degrees the thrips will die (take a couple months-- 4, I think). (I have a famous daylily hybridizer, doctor of horticulture neighbor who mentioned the same in dealing with thrips on daylilies.) In your zone, they should die in your ground, unless you have mulched up and composted like a crazy woman this fall where you grew them this year.
Also, I am watching your videos in random order and saw a couple videos with the organza baggies. Are you organic? Can you use a 3-in-1 product like the Safer brand on the glads and dahlias?
Just Found you my flower friend. Subd right away! @ FLowerhillFarm Where do you buy all your beautiful Lillies? What variety are they?
I bought a mixed pack from Onings
When is the "Hi Flower Friends" T-Shirt coming out?
I just launched a “Flower Friend” shirt on my website 😆💐👍
I have terrible problems with thrips every year so I did some googling and found multiple sites that said it can be a sign of too much nitrogen. I have changed the liquid seaweed feed that I use to one with lower nitrogen so I guess we'll see this summer...
Interesting! Good to know, thanks!
Bless you 8:22
Earwigs will damage plants to. We have them in Oregon. Hate them.
Ugh! They are just yucky
You are beautiful either way. Makeup or not.
Sorry! Flower friend! Third comment, I will try and do better... but the dark-colored glads are more attractive to thrips! (Like white/light colored roses and Japanese beetles! Nasty creatures...)
I definitely noticed that! Much more damage on the dark ones 😔 and YES- the whites always have more bug damage for me too from other pests. Fortunately I didn’t have many Japanese beetle issues this year- more grasshoppers on my lilies though 🤪
