Bluebirds are here too in NH. I throw those darn stink bugs out the window onto porch roof. The bluebirds fly right in to pick em up. Soooo cool.
Who else clicks the LIKE button before they even watch the video! I just know I will like it! Oh and I loved the insert pic of the sweet peas, thank you.
I clicked SO fast when I saw a new video posted! 😁🌸🌼🌺🌻
Me too! Get so excited
2:16 I can’t be the only one who heard that Tiger laugh from Winnie the Pooh 😆☺️
You are a nut but a flower loving nut so you’re awesome!
Hi Nicole-I have been enjoying your videos. I am zone 4 in Montana and it’s fun to watch someone growing in the same zone. You mentioned sparrows taking over a bluebird house. We had a tree swallow pair that was being pushed out by sparrows and we strung fishing line just to the side of the birdhouse opening and it deterred the sparrows and allowed the swallows to successfully nest. The sparrows don’t have as good of eyesight as bluebirds or swallows so it startles them as they try to enter.
Last year I took all the sweet pea sections I pinched off, dipped them in a rooting hormone and popped them into a 72 plug tray. Every single one grew quickly! Within a week each had tons of roots. I was shocked!!
I just love your energy! Gets me excited even more to work out in the garden.
Whoohoo! Spring is in the air 🌞
It’s fun to see that the gardeners I follow are woman who support one another & follow each other. Shout out to you and Erin the Impatient Gardener.
I live in central maine and I just can’t wait to dig in the dirt...so excited for gardening season..🌼🌺🌿🌾😊❤️❤️
Growing sweet peas for the first time. So excited!
Our snow in 6a western PA is gone. We have had a few days of spring like temps but still have lots of cold nights to get through. I am just starting my seeds now.
Hi flower friend.
Been awhile since I’ve been on.. almost a year! Time flies.. but lots happening now though. I love spring!💐 Have many trays going., I’m a couple weeks behind you.
I have added many varieties this year, excited to see all the perennials and new additions from last fall., and I may have overdone the thumbelina zinnias ... I couldn’t resist them💞. I will be happy to have so many!., I have also collected cactus, Pom Pom, lilliput, giants varieties and I also an trying out strawflowers and coleus -rainbow mix (since I love my hostas!) plans to keep many for indoors overwinter.
I love plants indoors during the winter.
Did I mention I also propagate succulents, cactus and tropicals?. Quite the collection in my house atm. Took over the basement and a sunroom. 😍
I don’t even care to sell any... 😄
Yup-grinning ear to ear as we play with the plants we love! ❤️
So exciting I’m with you so hooked on growing flowers,veg and fruit. Last year I didn’t know what I was doing I’m prepared now my note book is filling up with dates,how to care for and harvest times. Awaiting two raised beds made by my brother it’s all happening
I'm growing Old Spice (Probably same as Old Time) and I keep thinking of my Dad's shaving mug when I was little. 😁. I'm excited, they germinated today in my lovely toilet paper rolls. 🤣 It's my birth flower so I'm happy to be growing myself from seed for the very first time.
That is awesome!
Are u in Canada Roxanne?

I'm trying to grow sweet peas for the first time this year. (royal family mix)
I'm growing a mix as well and it's my first time too!!
Thanks for putting a smile on my face every video
Gorgeous sunshine here in Maine, the snowbank are shrinking (slowly)...the seedling babies I started should be popping up in the next week or so! Your videos are hilarious and so informative for this little hobby homesteader! 💕
It is my first year growing sweet peas I am so excited! I am growing the Grower's Choice Pride Mix from Floret. Can't wait!
Mushroom trays are my go too! I am cheap as heck and the blue ones fit on my window sill. The bigger ones I do use but I will have to put it on a side table. Must be strategic! I have a smaller house and tiny yard. Lol
Perfect!
❤ your chickens and very grateful for your videos. I live a few hours north and our overnight temps are still well below freezing, my seedlings are a month old and no where near ready to be out there. Lol.
Your energy is contagious! Getting ready to harden off some annuals first year to start a cutting garden good helpful hints! Thanks
I just love your presentations. They always make me smile and feel good about life. Thank you for sharing your personality with us. You are adorable. I do learn about plants as well, but I haven't planted any cut flowers yet. I think I want to grow dahlias because - their blooms are dahrling.
Thank you Sherry 💐
Congratulations Kelly! I got the book form floret Farm, you are going to love the book.
I watch French and bluebirds every Sunday in the summer. And other birds as well. I feel like Snow White sometimes.😅
You completely crack me up! I Can’t wait to see those tulips too!
You're on the porch!! Spring is coming 🙌
Yay! It’s so close!
Love watching your videos. I'm a small backyard garden/flowers/chickens....whatever I can fit in the backyard kinda girl. Also love watching the birds come back. I'm in eastern NC so we've had the bluebirds for a while now, but at my parents they had a Painted Bunting show up for a few days, very exciting! We don't see those too often. Happy planting!!
Thank you!
Wonderful job! Thanks for sharing. You’re so encouraging!
Yay! Congrats, Kelly Blackwell! Happy growing, everyone!
With hardening off, instead of playing musical chairs with all the trays at a couple hour intervals, the seedlings can handle the temps during the day but the shade is clutch. If your don't have shade cloth, upsidedown baskets, sheer curtains, thin sheets, etc, anything to temper the sun's intensity and your babies won't get scorched if left out all day. Just check on them in the afternoon that they don't dry out.
My sweet peas reseed themselves in one spot of my yard every year. I leave the old growth and it insulates the next generation. I will try the pinching method.
yeeeeeh!!! can wait to go outside and start digging ‼🤠🙏😇🤠🌻⚘
Sweet pea color and scent eagerly anticipated!!
I can wait to smell all the beautiful flowers in growing this year! I was amazed at how strong my Lemond Scented Eucalyptus smelled!
I'm going attempt to grow Old Spice Mixed Sweet Peas. Thanks for sharing your beautiful farm life!!
Best of luck!
I’m a newbie cut flower grower and I love your videos!! Love!
You make me laugh out loud, and your excitement is so refreshing!
I love your attitude. I feel the same... big SMILES in the garden 🪴😃😃😃😃😃😃
Nicole I just love watching you.byour personality is so genuine and the goofiness over plants is something I totally relate to. Happy Growing!!!
Spring is definitely in the air at my house! We have hit 80 the last three days and I can see my tulips and daffodils opening up throughout the day. So excited for this seasons blooms. Thanks
Hi, Nicole. I had the same problem with the edges of my cell trays drying out first around the perimeter. My solution: Trim off the lip of the cell tray and all cells will sit flat on the bottom of the tray. Bottom water is now evenly dispersed. Have a great day.
This is a great tip! Thanks so much!
@@FlowerHillFarm I noticed soil and margaritas trim her trays for another reason then it dawned on my that I Could cut to fit.
Living for the outtakes 😆 Your enthusiasm is so contagious!
Your video's are so much fun! Today in zone 3, I am starting some Almost Black, Earl Grey and Restormel. Will save a few of each to succession plant.
I have been having so much fun starting all my seeds! I love seeing your videos to remind me to clip them back.
Nicole you are so funny😂. I just ❤️ watching your videos 🤗🌞🌱🌞🌻
I planted sweet peas for the first time this year and can't wait! I just have Beaujolais and John Grey. Planting so many things for the first time this year.... Thanks to you, Erin, Laura, and Sarina! 😁
I know you are ready to start digging!! I'm hoping to finish bed prepping this weekend! And yep... I burned my sweet peas because I didn't harden them off correctly. But I think they'll be okay... maybe. 😬
Beaujolais, My Navy, Old Time Mix, and perennial something. First time for this--can't wait for the fragrance. Totally get the grin...!
Nicole I totally love your quirky, sweet, goofy sense of humor, it makes me chuckle - thanks for that. I also love that you inspire me to trust that the flowers know what to do, I am braver in my planting thanks to you. And the smiling thing...I was getting a jump start on my dahlia bulb planting inside yesterday (aka the Impatient Gardener) and afterwards my face hurt and I realized it was because I was smiling so hard haha! I'm in Upstate NY in Plattsburgh and saw my first red winged black bird, which I consider the first true spring bird in our area, the birds are spring singing! Happy planting!
Everything is going to be looking so beautiful! Can't wait :)
So excited for spring! Can’t wait for all the snow to finally melt!! Your outtakes at the end are absolutely great! 😆
I am going to plant some sweet peas tomorrow. I love them! I love blue birds too! I'm coming with...you.
Another great video and they get me excited about diving in for the day! I'm a wee little flower farmer and growing sweet peas for the first time, no fancy varieties just anything i could get my hands on..love the learning process and the little victories. They say go big or go home, but I am frugal and have chosen the slow patient process with no major expenditures, yet still I continue to grow. Yours are my favorite videos to watch and I can so relate to the quirkiness. I could up my ante by getting in front of the dang camera and being my fun self..you make it look so easy! Confidence, my dear!
Your plants grow well because they like your energy
A bluebird! I am so envious. I was excited yesterday just seeing the first red-winged blackbirds and mourning doves. The robins should be showing up anytime. Today is the first day I have seen bulbs poking up, too. I am about 11 miles west of Lake Champlain which appears to be in the same zone as you are. I am going to be going out every morning to see how much taller those bulbs have gotten!
Hey Nicole! I'm starting a small flower farm this year. You're my fave flower friend/inspiration since we're both in upstate NY (I'm in the catskill mountains) and youre great and I thought you should know. 🤗
Sweet peas I'm growing this year are:
Turquoise, Richard and Judy, Yvette Ann, Lizbeth, enchante, mammoth choice mix and blue ripple. I'm PUMPED 🤠
Thanks for all the great info😍
I also am just starting my cut flower business, I love Nicole. Good luck to us both.
@@staceyhardymotorhomedecor Yay! Good luck, Stacey!💜🌹
Just came across your channel. Already follow garden answer & the impatient gardener! But you showed up in my recommended yesterday. Greatly enjoying your content!
It was nice seeing your sun. We are still in the 20’s-low 30’s. We had a couple of 40° days but I’m so ready for more. Your zone 4b is looking warmer than my zone 4b. You are so inspiring.
🌸🌼☮️-Kirsten
I am always bummed when the video is over... but the end is always the best lol! I am so excited to see you kick the thrip out of flower farming this year! 🌷💖🌸
You're the best, Mindi! Thank you -
@@FlowerHillFarm you really are a bright spot in the world! I am not a flower farmer, but I love gardening. After watching your video a few months ago when you took your extra bouquets from a bouquet bar to a local nursing home, I have had a burning desire to grow a small cut garden so I can regularly take bouquets to all the elderly widows in my tiny little town. I guess I just want you to know you are making a much bigger difference in the world than you realize you are by sharing your journey with us!
😭💐🥰
I love your humor!
Oo those sweet peas are beautiful
I love sweet peas too! I grew one kind last year and this year have expanded to a half a dozen or so. I'm really excited about the ones called Anniversary and Bix.
It's go time here for me! I will be 8 weeks out from my last frost date next week! The snow melted off the garden today...and of course I had to go count how many bulbs I could find peeking out of the soil! So exciting finding them all!
I’m growing Erewhon, Charlie’s Angel, Turquoise, Castelwan anniversary and glasnevin sweet peas - live in Canada so following your lead on planting them outside:) pls share! Love your videos and your permagrin
Oh my gosh! Just found your channel and love love love your energy. I’m in PA, so In the grand scheme of things, we’re practically neighbors. 😂 looking forward to watching more from your channel!
The "grinning from ear to ear while doing something you love" is so true....up until October, then I'm sooo ready for winter after all the harvesting and selling and canning lol. I have a half acre of veg up in sask canada zone 3a. Totally looking forward to summer, and have a smile watching all my little babies popping up out of the ground. Btw, love your channel....and attitude!🤣
I had terrible terminations from my sweet pea seeds this year but you’ve inspired me to start some new seeds! Yours look so gorgeous! So excited for SPRING!
I love it 😍!!! You're so funny 🤣😆!!!!
You crack me up so much. I’ve started planting flowers this year. I’ve never planted anything in my life. Well, let’s see what transpired. We are totally kindred spirits.
I bought the book on your recommendation! I love it! BTW I love your channel!
growing BLUE SHIFT from Floret - sooo excited!
Recently discovered your channel; you put such a smile on my face every time! Love your energy and content, I've learned a lot already watching you. :)
I also can't wait to dig!!!
Actually I've already covered a couple beds with plastic to warm up and I have been playing in the dirt 😆
The tune in the beginning really suits you I really like it. Can’t wait for your flowers to start blooming 🌸
Thank you so much!
I ordered 14 varieties of sweet peas from Floret's this year. Excited about all of them, but especially one called Blue Shift. Love your channel!
They look so good!!! I love the end too hahahaha!
“You look so good today, Frizz!” That was so cute and hilarious 😆 Is there a character in “Grease” named Frizz? Stockard Channings character? Ohhhhh no... that was Riz.🤣
This is my first year growing sweetpeas and I am so excited! I'm growing the growers choice pride mix from Floret!
I bought 3 kinds of sweet peas for the first time this spring. Then after researching more realized I should probably save most of them for this Fall since we are in zone 8b. But I'm trying a few of each anyway just to see what happens. They are pre sprouting right now and tomorrow I'm planting them in water bottles with the tops cut off. Lol. Recycling! 😊
I have Mammoth Salmon Cream, Early Spencer Mix and Old Spice Mix.
I’m with you can’t wait to dig....a d run my hands through a flat of plants again!! Home construction projects are preventing me from seed starting so CAN’T WAIT to storm your seedling sale! Go CUSE!
So excited! First year gardener in 8a and my zinnias, cosmos, and yarrow are hardened off and ready to go. Now to prep the soil.... :p haha
For sweet peas, this year I'm planting Earl Grey
, Old Times, Ocean Foam, Piggy Sue, Spencer Ripple Formula Mix, Streamers Mix, and Winter Elegance White. I'll also be planting ranunculus and anemones for the first time! So excited!
Your channel is growing like crazy! Good job!
Always honk my horn to the "shave and a haircut" tune. Love that! Lol! Also couldn't help but giggle at your Giada impression! 😁😁😁
I listened to the let’s grow girls episode and was hooked. Just got some more! In insane! 1/4 acre growing air warden,apricot sprite,Henry Eckford, Miss Willmott, Edward of york,Blue shift, Elegance red, Enchante,balmoral,and turquoise lagoon. To name a few
I started a Mammoth Salmon Cream and an Early Gigantea Mix. I’m so excited about Spring that I when I went outside on Thursday and felt how warm it was I couldn’t help myself but do a spring dance hoping that the neighbors weren’t looking...!🤭
I just love your energy. It’s a bit ‘’all over the place’’ but it give me energy. I usually watch your videos right before bed and I always feel motivated to do a bit more or tackle a task with a better happier attitude. Kinda random but that’s why I’m subscribed.
Any who , love the ranunculus update as it’s so foreign to even think about growing them in South Florida (I could be wrong) . I just love it here !
Thanks! I’m definitely all over the place 😂💐
I have 4 Boxers, They’re like potato chips, can’t just have one!!❤️
Spring is Finally coming! I we had two beautiful days in Pennsylvania, I had every one of my seedlings outside. The next week is going to be in the low 50s and 40s and freezing at night. Such a bummer.
So fun! I have piggie sues going that I’m really excited about!
Yes, when you don’t have a rooster, one hen will typically take over as Head B**** in Charge 🤣. Loving your channel ... you always crack me up 😂
My ranunculis are almost ready to go in the ground & I just noticed one is about to bloom! It's only about 6 inches tall... I think I started mine a little too early.. & I just filmed my unboxing of discovering dahlias and OMG! Its beautiful! And packed full of information!
Sometimes the first few blooms are shorter and then they lengthen out! There's hope yet-
@@FlowerHillFarm ok yay!
Hey Nicole - I’m growing 10 sweet pea varieties Apricot Sprite, King’s High Scent, Mammoth Salmon Cream, Nimbus, Mrs. Collier, Beaujolais, Mollie Rilestone, Henry Eckford, Miss Willmott, and Sweet Dreams. I started 9 varieties indoors and also winter sowed all 10 varieties. Of course the ones indoors are doing well. Will be pinching back today. I haven’t looked at my winter sown jugs lately. I’ll take a peak at those today sometime. I’ve been hardening off my ranunculus, too. I’m growing Cafe Au Lait, Sunset and Gold. Today I’m starting a crazy amount of annual flower seeds, indoors. I’m hoping for a wonderfully colorful display with all the different flowers I’m planning to grow this year. Catch ya on the flip side 💐🌷🌹🥀🌺🌸🌼🌻☺️
🌓Congratulations Kelly Blackwell,🎉🎉🎉🎉and love this video, thanks so much again for sharing. So excited.🙋🏾♀️🦋
Thank you so much!!
@@FlowerHillFarm 🌗 you are so very welcome sweetie.🦋
It's going to be 8 degrees Celsius/46 Fahrenheit, tomorrow in central Alberta . I didn't get much snow this winter. There's not much left to melt. I pinched my sweat pea seedlings back last year, planted them, and the did nothing afterwards. No new growth, no flowers, but they didn't look like they died. I recently notice on the McKenize seed package, that they are a Perennial Sweat Pea called Everlasting. I thought Sweat Peas are all annuals. maybe I wasn't suppose to pinch these ones back. I didn't pull them last fall, so it will be interesting to see if they come back.
I'm jealous of your bluebird sighting. I had 2 families the first year I moved into my townhouse but never since. Wrens have taken over one blue bird house but not the one originally used. I miss seeing them up close. They are my favorites. Funny story: accidentally overwintered a leopard frog in my guest bathroom! Imagine my surprise.
Absolutely love ya💚🗻😍😘
I watched you pinch the first few sweet peas and then I paused the video so I could run outside and pinch mine. I am trying sweet peas for the first time. I ordered seeds from Ardelia Farm and my four varieties are: Just Julia (violet blue/purple), Sunshine Peach (pale peach/pink), Sunshine Champagne (pale pink & cream), and Sunshine Cerise (hot magenta pink). Looking forward to blooms & fragrance!
You are a hoot!
