“That’s Debbie” just made me lol
My lisianthus seeds are hatching ! I sowed them 14-1, and yesterday evening : tada !
Tiny, tiny, but with my reading glasses on, I can see them. Now the goal is to keep them alive.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Yay! Congrats Antoinette
Oh I’m excited about the veggies, I grow veggies at home, doing a seedling sale in may-June and I’m a hired flower farmer on ten acres, so I’m excited for all the content!
A new video from Flower Hill Farm?? Best Day Evarrr 😍😍😍
Yayyyyy 💐
I call Fridays in the summer fertilizer Friday, too. Only way I'll remember. 😁
I had chickens; they were so much fun! I concur about the poop statement - I was surprised by that fact the most! 😂💩
Growing your own food and doing animal husbandry really opens your eyes to the sterility of our modern lives. Especially grocery stores!
There is a lot of emerging scientific evidence that foliar spraying is the most efficient way of fertilizing your plants. I have been doing it for 3 years and it’s an absolute game changer. Soil health should still be your number one priority but foliar fertilizing is very important to a plant’s well being and productivity.
Can you show when you transplant from the starting tray to the cells?
OMG !!! You are a brave soul, I would have screamed til the neighbor in the next town calling 911 because they thought I was being murdered
You must be referring to the nice 🤣🤣
@@angelacase2331 wahahaaaaa yes !!! Oh god !!! They are scary LOL
putting the vermiculite is a genius move! The vermiculite holds moisture so it really helps to keep the surface humidity up. I love the mister, omg I need one!
Totally agree!
@@FlowerHillFarm oh and congrats on the subscribers, dang girl you’re over 12k now! Good going!
I sowed my Lisianthus seeds today
Wishing you the best!
@@FlowerHillFarm I only got one lol, it’s a white I forget the name. Never grew them before. Didn’t sow mine yet
Yay for veggies too! You've got lots of room.
Woohoo! I love growing all the things 💐🥕👍
I had to bungee cord the top of my bird seed bin to keep the squirrels and raccoons out!
Good idea!
It is really interesting to see how you doing from seed to flowers! I love your channel. Big thumps up from France 😋👍
Thank you Caroline! 💐
Congratulations on all that germination! You inspired me to try a little porch planter of Lisanthus even though I’m in zone 12 (hawaii!) 🤪. Might be too hot but I guess I’ll find out! At least I have humidity lol. Looking forward to having your videos to help with every step of the process 🥰 also excited for veggie content!!
I’m really excited for the vegetable garden videos. I love all your content, mainly your awesome (real) personality, you have me laughing all the time!
Thank you so much! I have so much veggie video/photos that I didn't even use this year- I'll have to dig it up and use it to preview the season!
I use a weed sprayer that has the stick wond that way u don't have to worry about when the sprayer that u have starts getting low on water and spitting air lol
P.S. loved your PJ, please post a video frequently, so much information
I love the chicken name “frizzle frazzle” 😂😂 so fun to say 😂😂. I love my trash can 🗑 storage too !!! That is how I store my bird food !!!, so many exciting videos coming up 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
It’s my favorite name to say I think
Please keep updating your seedlings 🌱 I sowed my seeds the same time as you and I feel like we are in this together 💕
Will do!! It's very exciting! I hope everyone tags with in their instagram pics!
Oh my gosh....your beanie, LOVE IT!
Thanks! It’s my Flapper Beanie! 💐
I JUST receives my packet of lisianthus today, I can’t wait to try them!
Yes Roxana! Get em going!
I call it Feeding Friday! And I totes forgot today so thanks for the reminder.
Get it girl!
Looking forward to watching them grow!
So excited to see how they continue to grow.
I love watching you! You make me laugh! :). Love your p.j. Pants! :). I’m a first time seed sower so I am trying Zinnias. I bought some from SwallowTail. It’s the shorter variety. I hope to learn a lot from you about how to keep my seedlings happy after they germinate. See you soon!
Waiting patiently for my seeds to arrive❤
Love love love your videos!
Thanks so much
I love the names! And I love silkies and Americaunas
They are so fun! Love them
So happy when I see that I have a new video of yours to watch 🐓 🌱
Yay, can't wait for your next video!
Coming soon!
Flower prayers coming your way for a great season!
Yes! Thank you!
After watching your flower bar video, I need Lisianthus! So pretty! PS I would’ve freaked out over the mice!! My only phobia!!😳 Good luck to your Bills! I’m a Packer girl!!💚💛
My coleus seeds did not germinate, however i did not use a heat mat or light (no money in the budget). Seeds purchased from HD. ..Its been 3 weeks and its been in the 30s zone 9a Houston Tx. 😑
Such a bummer 🙄
You rock!! I love your enthusiasm, it’s contagious!!!
Thank you Michelle!
This is the first gardening video that I've laughed out loud to. Thanks for that!
😂💐 You’re so very welcome 🌻
So excited to learn more about veggies with you!
I can’t wait!
Had to laugh at the gagging. Reminded me of my xray dream 😆😆😆😆😆
Um I almost mentioned your email Sharon! I swear I don't gag! LOL
@@FlowerHillFarm 😂😂😂
Started my lisianthus today as well!!!
Woohoo!
I got the Black Pearl variety of Lisianthus and took your tip to plant them in a full tray. Thank you.
I love the hat you had on. 😊
Thank you! It’s my favorite pattern 💐
In that selling seedling video you mentioned that is coming up, will you please mention if you need a license and pay sales tax and all of those relevant issues? Thanks.
Love your videos. My lisianthus are just a few days behind yours. Please keep teaching us. ❤️
It depends on your state if you need a license or not, but if you make any amount of money you have to pay taxes regardless. Unfortunately!
Ya i always get gitty 🤗🤣 seeing a new video thank you for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
Please keep sharing you seed starting tips - love to see all the steps!
Will do!
Wow, snow! Western NY is green grass and rain. Go Bills!!
Love the hat
Thank you! It’s one of my favorite ones that I made 💐
You are such a joy to watch! At the end of every video I always have a smile on my face! Thanks! 🌺🌸🌼🌻
You are so kind
I just bought suet cakes for the same reason. I have lots of cute little blueish colored peckerwoods in my yard right now. Also, that hat is EVERYTHING!
Thanks for the update. Must say, I love that hat!
Bet you made that🌺
You bet! It's one of my favorite. It's my late winter/Valentine's hat! And then my final one of the season is for St. Patrick's Day!
Beautiful chickens! i thought about getting some this spring but i know nothing about taking care if them. I have been searching everywhere for one of those sprayers i seen those a year or two ago i really want one! I did another seed haul today! Good luck with your seedlings!
Can't wait to hear about your vegetables. That really is my first love. Glad your seed starting is off to a good start.
Can't wait! I've been growing veggies so much longer than this scale of flowers- I'm excited to share!
Yay seedlings!! I'm about to start hardening off my snapdragons pretty soon!
Wonderful!
I too grew Rosanne Deep Brown last year and loved it! Makes a fantastic complement in a burgundy bouquet!
Oooooo good idea 💐
I do fertilizer Friday too
Starting my seeds today, would love to see videos on hardening off outside with and without your plastic green house. I bought the cheap plastic greenhouse last year and am so excited as my seed orders are trickling in!
Starting today I will be doing fertilizer Friday too.😊
Yes!
I cannot believe you dropped this vid today. I was just at the hardware store this morning wondering what in the world to buy to fertilize my flowers! Thanks a bunch!
Glad I could help!
Yeah!! Go Bills💙❤️
"I don't gag though"
You laughed, I giggidy-ed
😁
Another super informative video ! Thanks ! I’d love to learn more about keeping seedlings healthy and strong. This is technically my fourth time starting seeds and I’ve had various levels of success (failures) in the past most with stagnant growth about a few weeks in.
Hey Nicole, my name is Glenda Doyle and I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been binge watching them ever since. Love what you are doing and you are giving me the fever to grow flowers to sell. I grow flowers for my own enjoyment and most do quite well. I am 76 years old, but in good health which I attribute to spending lots of time with my flowers and vegetable garden. Just a little concerned that the work load may be more than I can handle even though my husband does help me some with things such as tilling the soil for my flower beds. I have a large Dahlia bed with approx. 100 Dahlias and after watching your support netting video, I plan to do that to mine this year as I have the same problem with wind as you do. We live on top a mountain in the Arkansas Ozarks that is pretty open. Problem is, I haven't found the type of netting you use with the 4 x 4 inch openings and 4 ft. width. Would you mind letting me know where it may be found? I have looked online but haven't found it. By the way, I love your being you in the videos. You are definitely entertaining. I actually started my own You Tube video 2 years ago but didn't have much success with it so I stopped making and posting over a year ago.
Hi Glenda! I am actually moving away from that netting next year for my dahlias and I am using a “corralling” method, running one line of rope along each side to keep them upright. The netting is called Hortonova netting and I have the link in the description of most of my videos!
@@FlowerHillFarm Thank you for your quick reply. I used paracord last year for support running it at several heights along each side of the rows lengthwise and then running a piece from side to side between the plants as they grew taller. I tied the cross pieces to the lengthwise cord. Basically boxing in each plant. It worked pretty well but took a lot of paracord and a lot of work.
QUESTION 🤔🤔🤔 Are you worried about replanting your Dahlias in the same area as last year? Is there residual disease or something in the soil to be concerned about? Learning so much from you keep up the great work. And so excited to see all your channels growth! Silver play button here you come. 🥰
Hi Natalie! The disease does stay in the soil for a couple of years. The soil would need to be remedied in order to plant there again this season- there are a couple of options. I am planning a video about that in the future-
I really enjoyed this video! This is also my second year of growing lisianthus. I plan to get them in the ground earlier than I did last year because they can handle the cold. Looking forward to your next video!
Best of luck! I am also attempting to get over my fear of putting them out early- and I will try this year!
What zone are you in & when do you plan to transplant them?
I started my lisianthus seven days ago still waiting ..your chickens are so cute and I love love love your hat
Good luck!! Thanks so much! I made it a couple of years ago - I really need to make more!
@@FlowerHillFarm I would so buy one ..
Rose is a suck-up... and we're so glad. Great product.
Haha!
How exciting to see your babies peeking out, all 21 varieties too! I started 3 varieties myself including also Rosanne Black Pearl, and V2 Pink & Champagne. I’m about 9 days in and through what seems like a microscopic lense I can see a couple dozen lisi’s peeking out! Such a thrill😆. Glad you talked about fertilizing seedlings, I hadn’t thought about doing that. But now I will. Oh and good to see you got Mr. Mister! I couldn’t resist sending it after you mentioned it, I love mine and use it all the time. Ok thanks again for all you share with us, it’s so helpful!
Thank you so much Rose! 💐💐💐
wow!,impressive,mine are not out yet, I must be doing everything wrong
That’s Debbie”. I like your eclectic flock.
Yeah you have liftoff aka germination! Def link that mister thingy. I have the worst luck with those!
It's on the Amazon link section! So handy!
I’m attempting Lisianthus for the first time this year thanks to your encouragement! I have the Roseanne brown & I hope to pair it with cherry caramel phlox, Bella of Ireland, bunny tails, dill & amaranths! I’m hoping my birthday seed blocks come soon so I can start here in zone 6a/b ❤️🌱💐thank you for being you!!!
That sounds lovely!
I'm in awe of the beautiful flowers you manage to grow despite all of the challenges you face with weather conditions.
Just wondering what type of eucalyptus you are growing? (I'm in Australia) 🙂
Going to start mine here in Germany today ... I imported some Jonnys seeds from the US .... I’m courious if I can nurture them across. Some fun project for lockdown too look after. 😜
Best of luck! 💐
OMG, “hey hey” is such a cute name. If I ever get a chicken.... it shall be named as so.
She's the funniest. My kids named her- it's the name of a cartoon chicken in the Disney movie Moana!
We actually had a chicken named hey-hey. About fertilizing your seedlings, when do you start feeding them and how often? I loved your channel and I am actually binged watching. You influenced me growing lisianthus and I will start growing them next year❤️
When you come live. We are all wait❤️💕💕
Very cool. Your Lisies have hatched!
My pansies........20% so far. That's 10 days. Hoping more decide they like to grow. Otherwise
I'm unimpressed............grrrrrr.
Totally understand why to germinate via the Charles Dowding method.
I do mini flood irrigation of trays that have potting soil and seedlings.
I pour water around the perimeter and this capillary flows to all of the soil.
I gave up on mist spraying. It's not enough water to really moisten the
soil well and I don't keep the things covered because I don't want
damping off.
The meat tray thing is a fab idea. So far I'm using IKEA trays because that's what
I have. But I am saving the meat trays for when more intense seed starting begins.
Yes, I'll definitely be filling the sides- I will only mist and cover until germination is finished! I have not planted pansies! I'd love to try it next year.
You are psychic!! I was literally just about to google how/when to start fertilizing lisi and euc seedlings when i saw you posted a new video. Yay!! And thank goodness i watched your prior eucalyptus videos so knew they would be red when sprouting. I might have thrown them out otherwise, thinking they were some weird fungus!! 😂 do you fertilize your lisianthus every friday also after germination? Learning so much from you. Thank you for being so inspirational!!
Perfect!
Veggies videos! Yes yes yes!
You got it! I have so much!
Great video! And so funny you post this because I am frantically trying to find Lisianthus seed! I cant find them anywhere that is shipping currently. Ya got any extras I can buy?!?! 😬😂😂 I can't wait to see how yours turn out!
You should call company's that distribute soda , they may have some used coolers for sale . You could paint it pretty and put it on your front porch .. A 3 door .
Thought: I follow many beekeepers/removers along with the "hornet king". He has chickens as well and feeds the larvae to his chickens. He does not use pesticides and it seems to be a great source of protein for them. Perhaps that might help you with feeding and cost if you partner with a bee remover?? Finally, I have been convinced to plant Lisianthus this! Thank you! :)
Good idea! I have a bee friend 💐
I have a mist sprayer like that but way smaller for giving my bearded dragon a soak and I spray my cuttings too.
I hate the smell of Neptune and I was so happy when it was finished then I changed it .
Awwww- a bearded dragon! What fertilizer are you using instead?
@@FlowerHillFarm
My daughter's pet.
I am using seaweed instead which has no smell by maxicrop
@@jin8339 Is it working as well as Neptune's? I will be starting me seeds in a very small space and I don't want to overpower my family with the smell of dead fish.....
@@margaretmininger9406 I love mine. It's thousand times better Bec of smell but it does same job as Neptune's.
I really don't smell anything and someone recommended that to me bec i used to hate the smell of Neptune's esp when some spills on my feet or hands. Yuk !!
I heard kelp is great too .
Are you wintering sowing any of your seeds this year? If so, I’d love to hear all the details. (Fellow zone 4b gardener in Minnesota). Love your videos.
Hi, you have handles on both sides of the drum, why not use 2 bungy chords and they will keep the lid tight...
Good idea, the aluminum is actually bent on the lid though and the mice squeeze through!
Have you thought about echinacea plants...they’re pretty and the bees love them. The birds love the seeds in the fall and I save tons of seeds even though they come up every year...just a thought....
Hi Carrie! I have tons of echinacea seeds and many plugs coming this year. They are amazing native flowers. I’m excited about them! Thank you 💐🥰
Be careful with your echinacea. I planted probably 6 or 7 plants of different color. Now 4 years down the road I have pink echinacea everywhere. They cast their seeds everywhere between my roses in my dianthus, in phlox, poppies, lavender, in everywhere. And they are now all pink! If someone knows why please let me know but for now I’m giving away lots echinacea.
Did you make that hat? I love it!
I did! Thank you 💐
Did you leave your lisianthus under lights 24/7 during the germination period? Or turn off the lights at night? I love that mister! Found mine on Amazon. Thank you for the videos! Always makes my day.
No, I turn them off at night
❤️🌸-K
Love that hat. I was wondering how you decide what flowers you plant and when you start them indoors?
Thanks! It's one of my favorites. I made it a couple years ago. The seed packet will usually tell you how long before frost to start the seeds. I spend a lot of time doing research on my seeds to figure all of that out!
@@FlowerHillFarm Thanks, I'll do the work. You have inspired me to grow more flowers from seed. In the past I've just bought the starts from the nursery or big box store but that is so expensive I can't have as many flowers. I have winter sown some already and will be stating some indoors.
That's so raven.....
Love that show!
Hi Nicole
Do you run a fan on your seedlings? I have found it helps reduce fungus and damping off😊
I do have a fan down there!
😂 you have a chicken named Coco Chanel, I have a brown teacup chihuahua named Cocoa Chanel 😁
Awwww! Love it
Literally me also trying to decide where all my veggies will be going 😂
I'm definitely having some concerns about where they are all going LOL
🤭😅😂🤣 You made me laugh 🤣😂
Yay!
Smells like Sea world 😆
Absolutely.
I’m new to gardening and have successfully germinated lisianthus! “Now the hard part begins” - they are now two weeks old - do I keep the humidity dome on? If so, how long? Also, when should I take off the heat mat? Sounds like maybe week 3 or 4? And lastly, should I keep misting, top water, or start bottom watering now? Thanks!!
Do you watch FRESHCUTKY Cut Flower & Vegetable Garden, she has a really good channel too. Look forward to seeing how your Lisianthus come along, I love those too. Ravens fan here. If the Bills somehow win tomorrow =^) and go all the way to the Super Bowl, if they play the Bucks, just know there's at least 3 families here that'll be rooting for the Bills all the way
Yes I do! Tonya and I have mentioned eachother channels before in our videos! She's very sweet. My husband has been a huge Bills fan his entire life and I sort of married into it LOL. We will see what happens!
@@FlowerHillFarm Tell Brad Pitt Congrats.
Hi, I’ve never used grow lights before as I grow in a heated propagator in a greenhouse. We currently have about 8hours of day light a day. Do you think this is enough for the lisianthus. It does work quite well for my other seeds to germinate.
8 hours of sun is not r to 8 hours of grow lights. We keep grow lights on for 12-18 hours because they're not as strong as the sun. 8 hours of sun should be good enough, even though this time of year the sun isn't as "strong"
I'm so sad I got 0% germination on mine. I'm going to try again.
Oh no- how long has it been?
Did u put holes in the trays that u use for your seeds?
Okay my Neptune bottle says 1 teaspoon per cup of water?! 😳
Am I going to fry them?!
So for lisianthus I got fine vermiculite to sprinkle on top when starting the seeds. The pieces are about the size of the lisianthus seed. Is that the correct size vermiculite? I was worried it was too large. Thanks!
Some of mine were covered and some seeds you could see. All of mine came up! Just do a light dusting - not super thick.
