A lot of you are commenting that the rose might be an invasive species- we will have to keep an eye on it! We do have other cultivars of wild roses at neighboring properties that are NOT mulitflora- with pink and red blooming roses so I’m keep an eye on this one to see what happens!
I have a Lady Banks Rose that THINKS it's a wild species!!
I'm excited to see what that plant turns out to be!
Hi Nicole, I have wild roses on my property beautiful pink ones they can get out of hand but we just mow around our huge mound of roses. And when they bloom my friends are so jealous of their beauty. They are truely an asset 💕 I love my wild roses.
I'm glad you commented on this. I just came to the comments to see of anyone had said anything about the invasive rose. All is well. I pray they are a gorgeous, native wild rose, that you get to enjoy into your old age.
Oh thank goodness!!! The invasive kind is really not kind at all!!! I still have thorns coming out of my hands! :) Good to here!
Who else is waiting for the mother’s day bouquet video like me? I’m so excited for it😍❤️
Nicole, a heartfelt thank you for showing us all your improvisations ( apple picker,) and your relaxed attitude. We often feel we need all the right/perfect tools and for all our plantings to be successful for us to be legitimate. You have given us permission to take a breath, smile and carry on with our flower farming dreams in spite of not having everything perfectly together.
Crazy girl, filming and posting on the day after Mother’s Day. You must be exhausted.
Sounds like you had a great kick off to the season. Hurray for Flower Hill Farm!
I grew lavender purple tulips for the first time this year & omg! Purple is my favorite color!
The Fed Ex driver was probably just as surprised as you that he wasn't coming there 😅😂🤣
I literally just laughed out loud as this comment LOL
🤣
Wild roses have simple, but very beautiful flowers :)
Girl - I’m so excited for you! 🌺🌺🌱🌱🌺🌺
So Awesome!! Everything!! Your excitement and enthusiasm is Totally Infectious!!! That is the infectious I Love to get!!😁💚 Thank You!!!!!🤗
really looking forward to all the content this spring and summer! You're my favorite show. 😆
You are my biggest inspiration to get out of my depression to put my hands into the dirt....you've helped me more than you know.....we ALL LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU ❤ 💕 💜 💙 💗 ♥
♥️♥️♥️💐
Isn't it great therapy? I love it for that. I mean growing. Nicole too is so positive and like an imaginary friend. :)
I love your green beanie!
I am SO EXCITED about the upcoming change in the weather. I'm also excited to have some days without rain. I haven't planted anything out yet. I'm just a hobby gardener, not a farmer, so it isn't important for me to try to rush things along. I had no idea there were so many varieties of trillium! I just love them. There are 3 patches of them in my big flower bed from the previous owners and our woods are just full of them along with trout lillies, ferns and wild onion. The trails are gorgeous. You have so many things growing this year....you're going to have a great year. Not sure what happened with those empty tulilps!? That's crazy.
Yay!! My columbines are budding up too 🤩
Nicole, try adding phosphorus to your soil to perhaps remedy the tulip squishy no petals issue.
Thanks, Diane- so strange that those two batches were the only ones impacted!
Diane that was my thought... maybe just a lacking patch of soil or Those varieties are heavier feeders🤷🏻♀️
What a fun and helpful video! 😊
I just wanted to congratulate you and your husband on your success, your new tractor and All of the wonderful things that are happening in your venture! I admire the hard work and tenacity you both have, and I am convinced that even greater things are yet to come for you and yours.
Thank you so much!
So happy all your starters are doing amazing in the ground.
But that biofilm 360 is a nightmare. Heard someone else use it for their veg garden and hated it. It disintegrated in the hot SoCal sun but not evenly. Bits and pieces are all over the yard.
Thanks! I’m a much different climate so I don’t see it baking here in chilly upstate NY! It is made out of corn so it eventually breaks down naturally.
Been waiting for this for so long!!! so excited
Love you Nicole! Thanks for the beautiful joy you exude whilst exploring Nature 💗💚🌷🌿🌺☀️🧡🐞
I'm super sensitive to sunlight too. I'm never without my sunglasses. My daughter always adds them on my head or face in drawings. I use them as a headband when not outside.
Your tulips are gorgeous. I bought a variety pack in the fall soo all of the new ones are all a surprise and some are absolutely gorgeous.
Great video and thank you for sharing🌻🌼🥰
I like your style 👍
When Nicole put her hair up in a half bun.... I knew it was going down 🙌🏻👸🏼
Tulips often won't fill out due to a rain or nutrient issue. If you're feeding them then it's probably the rain.
Great video. Thanks for showing how the bed is created.
Your sweet peas look like mine. I thought I messed up. I thought they should be blooming. My experience is showing 😂
Don't worry about your Columbine one bit!!! I had to transplant a few, along with a hydrangea that just wasn't getting enough sun, and I was super blown away at the roots on those Columbine!!! They were huge!!! And just one Columbine plant had enraptured that hydrangea so badly I honestly couldn't tell which roots belonged to what plant! It was crazy! I could not believe how thick and long those roots get! They are some incredibly hardy flowers too! I moved a bunch actually, some for my garden sale, and some were quite large already, but they have all popped back up! And every single one of my Columbine are already blooming! It's amazing!
Our weather has been really weird, I'm in 5b. It was 85 in the middle of April, actually we've had more cold, like 34° nights in May!!! It's been so weird!
I really love those trillium!!! We have some really pretty forest flowers here too. Last year I was able to dig up some Blue Bells and they actually all came up for me this year, it was very unexpected since I honestly thought I killed them...lol, but they came up! Love the mystery flowers!! Loll, I had no idea what they were until they bloomed!!! It was pretty comical, and a great surprise!
I don't know about your land, but we have invasive "roses" that don't bloom, all they do is grow up ongo trees and have the most nargly teeny tiny thorns that get totally stuck in your hands! They are lined with thorns, and they can get big, I've been cutting them out the last few years. They will get 12 feet tall! Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you ever walk past one accidentally, I have huge holes and snags in my pants from them! They are the bane of my existence...and poison ivy, which has also decided in recent years to grow and try to strangle every tree, is in all the tall grasses. It's almost overrun the farm. Something about it being more humid in the summers here that it just loves, well I hate it!!! I'm highly sensitive to it, every summer I think about once a month I have to get a big shot in the behind to get rid of it!!! Lmaooooo!!! Tmi, sorry ha!!!
Thanks for sharing about the Bio 360 too!!! I saw another farmer use it in a video and yeah wow, wouldn't it be nice to have that tractor set up lol!!! I didn't know it was biodegradable, that's awesome!!! I'm definitely going to try using it next year...with my apple picker of course! ;)
I had that same issue with some empty tulips. Some of mine that did that had some yucky green fuzzy stuff growing on the bulbs.
“Sitting on a million bucks” 😅😅😅 you’re not kidding! Love your videos - glad I found you!!!
Looking good! Glad you had a busy Mother’s Day weekend! 💐💐💐 Love Pink Charm and Winston Churchill daffodils. Sorry White Lion was short, but it was beautiful. Your plants look awesome!
Thank you!
Just love your energy and enthusiasm. It’s very catchy. Thanks for all the info you share! I have no desire to be a cut flower seller but because of you I’ve grown so many for my own backyard garden. Now if the crazy weather would cooperate to get all these seedlings planted!
You are so welcome!
That's a beautiful bed
I started crying when you saw the Columbine buds……
Awhile back they had introduced biodegradable chip bags. (They did not last on the market because they were so noisy.) My science prof friend said that yes, they were biodegradable, but it took years to do it. I wonder if it is the same sort of thing with your not-plastic row covers.
It's so much fun to watch the farm transform. Man that is a lot of seedlings!! I'm currently battling flea beatles. I had no idea that they will target Amaranth! My newly planted out coral fountain look like green lace!! My Ranunculus are done for the season but I think they'll come back next year. Hope you had a great mother's day!
Ugh! Flea Beatles are awful!!! Good to know about the amaranth- I’ll have to be ready! They devour my eggplant every year
Multiflora Rose is very invasive on our property. It's not in the yard, but in our woodland areas that surround the yard. I pull it when I find it in a flower bed. I have an area where it gets so high because it is climbing up young trees. It makes a thicket you can't walk through. But, man it smells amazing. It reminds me of walking our kids down the long drive to meet the bus.
Some of my daffodils did the same empty bud thing, we didn’t have lots of rain like you, it was a bummer for sure
Ok seeing your ranunculus makes me feel better about mine. Mine seriously looks exactly the same as yours, I’m in zone 6a. I got mine in the ground about a week after yours but had them potted up on the porch for awhile before planting. This is the first time I’ve grown them so I wasn’t worried since yours haven’t sprouted yet.
I always enjoy your videos.
For the dirt problem on the white lion daffodils, you might want to edge the bare dirt border with wood chips to keep the dust down. Also White Lion is so lovely & fragrant (though short,) why not bouquets of just it alone? Would be stunning!
Your flowers are looking amazing. I just HAD to go to the market and buy myself tulips for Mother’s Day - and pretend they were from Flower Hill Farm 😀😂❤️👍🏼
Lavender and sage or 🍏 green, my favorite color combos.💚💜
Your suprise tulips look like "sensual touch".. I have some in my garden, they are like a soft orange color ☺️
Oh my they DO!!! very exciting thanks!
Love the glasses 👓😀
About the tulips check carefully inside it maybe little insects in there. ( little green insects ) they ate my roses before.
Nothing.
Can’t wait to visit your farm once the pandemic is over!😍
Hey my weather is doing the same thing here in Wisconsin. Weird how that works (I actually have family in upstate NY and we always joke that I get their weather a day later)
(Edited to add: I apparently hit done before finishing my comment. Whoops!)
Your plants for the seedling sale look gorgeous! We had a lot of customers request lettuce and pea 6pks too (I work in a greenhouse during May and June). (And beans too...) They grow so easily for me in my garden that I wonder if other people struggle? Maybe it's because the mart of walls always has them in 6 packs?
Swooning over your daffodils! Next year I'm going plant hundreds all over my garden. They're so easy and I always get distracted by tulips and other "shinier" bulbs that are higher care needs.
Apricot beauty has been on my list for tulips for a few years now...that color is sheer perfection!
A lot of gardeners and growers are having issues this year. It's because of the warm weather we had in the middle of winter. It interrupted the cold period for bulbs that need chill time and stunted stem length and ruined blooms especially on tulips.
Also in WI, just waiting for the last (hopefully) couple nights on freezing temps to pass. Then it's game on for getting everything in the ground!
Cant wait...
One more comment, bio360. I pinch it and pull up. Then cut off the pinch. Instant circle cut! Got a manicure the other day and the girl asked if I was a farmer. Lol. I secretly think she saw lyn byzinski's flower farmer book in my bag though.
Landscape rake. Check them out!
I used landscape staples or earth staples from dripworks. If the ground is soft the plunk right it fast.
I have those “ wild Roses “ too but I never saw a flower or a rose hip . Idk what they are
yaaay the surprise tulips look sooo coool cant wait to see it open!! I am thinking with the tulips is weather or phosphorus??
Hahaha! I used the Bio 360 two years ago and still had long sheets of it in the garden this year. The remnants got wrapped up in the tiller. I'm just not sure it gets warm enough here to break down in one season. 😥
I 5h8nk harvesting daffodils or even tulips more open than just about to bloom is more marketable!
There are a lot of drawbacks to waiting. Not only is bloom time lessened for the customer but it invited pest damage and weather damage by waiting. Farming is so much different than enjoying garden plants! It's a whole different world!
Hello Nicole, you probably already know this but cool flowers Lisa posted an article about how glads are bad bugs magnets, I see you planting the glads so close to other flowers, I personally am going to plant my glads far far away from any of my vegs and other flowers. Lisa doesn't even grow them anymore bc of the disease they bring to her other plants. Just sharing some info... thank you for the great info you share! I try to keep up with you lol
Thanks! My glads were fine last year next to the other flowers. Fingers crossed! They have been pre-treated for thrips.
All of my Bearded Iris turned to mush after a hard freeze bit the buds last May and they didn't bloom.. Looked a lot like what you showed with your tulips. Just a thought.
I'm just curious, why you don't put landscape staples to keep your fabric in place? Maybe you will gain more space to put plants?
Love your video by the way! So fun to see your garden growing!
This is not meant for staples, it is VERY thin and staples would shred right through it. I do use staples on my actual landscape fabric. But never alone. I’ve been repairing fields in below zero temps one too many times to just use staples. 😂 we live on a very windy hill.
Do you have a video of your favorite places to purchase your bulbs and seeds?
Ty!
I do, but it's sort of outdated because at least one of the companies is no longer- I buy a lot now from Ball, Leo Berbee, and Geo seed.
I just love how BP is such a ham for the camera?? NOT😂🤩I think ya got a good one there.
You should pop some wheels on those tables harbor freight has cheap wheels, then you can 1 person roll them out
Hi
Hey Jett!
Could the surprise tulips be a type of parrot tulip? Just enjoying your video this am with my cafe!
I think it is a variety called Sensual Touch- it’s gorgeous! I’m excited
I con't do the hair flip then tie thing before packing it in. Will I be ok? :-D
I’d be concerned. Just a little practice and you should be able to nail it! 👱♀️😂
Share your excitement about Christmas ferns. Have wanted ferns in a specific area but they would be trampled with work on house so put them in alternate place last yr and only saw 1 frond from each of 2, nothing from third but this year all 3 have fronds, 10 in total!! I love wild roses but when tried transplanting them they died, then 20 yrs ago found nearly wild roses and was happy in scented pink rose heaven since. Wanted ramps to grow in the yard, they too failed. Thinking you should have some down there already in the violet shot, course I can't crush and sniff. Ifn you do have ramps all over that is a good crop to eat and sell. In WV they have ramp mania in spring.
You pulled the bulbs with the tulips? Do you replant with foliage for them to come back next year?
Do you want to see your Peonies grow like crazy? I was making Tuna Salad and started to drain the water off in the drain and stopped, thinking wait a minute this is Tuna Water full of nutrients! I drained two small cans into a small container, added water (about equal parts, maybe a little more) and watered my "struggling plant flowers" in the front yard. 5 different plants all look amazing now!! I will never dump Tuna Juice down the drain ever again!! My Peonies are tall now with at least 3 buds! I can't believe it! Forget the putrefied fish guts! Give them the good stuff!
Interesting!
@@FlowerHillFarm Try it on 3 plants, if you do not see a huge difference don't do any more. :)
Since you pull up the bulb, when you harvest, don't you need an area where you let them multiply?
I raised so many things from seed this year and many of them are doing well but some of my small seedlings didn't make it outdoors. It was disappointing. I don't know what happened. Birds? Rain? Rollercoaster temps? What would be your best guess. Some of the failures included chamomile, tomato 'cloudy day', golden chard, some poppies and stock. Any suggestions?
Hi, that rose is more likely “dog rose”.
About your not blossoming tulips there are few reasons
1. Planted too late so root system didn’t develop well before soil got frozen.
2. Soil is heavy and vet so flower buts rot.
3. Cold and late Spring.
4. Too much Nitrogen. Leaves are taking energy from flowers.
5. Lack of water.
I agree, possibly a dog rose- the neighbors have some of those. I'm waiting until the healthy tulips in that bunch are ready, I am curious to see the difference in root growth. So odd that the other 2500 tulips planted the same day were unaffected.
@@FlowerHillFarm different varieties have different rooting time.
Probably multiflora rose. Not good, invasive. Small white clusters of blossoms.
I went to a big box store today intending to get several bags of mulch. I found an empty pallet. Since I was there, I looked around at their flowers, but nothing appealed to me. (Yep, I checked and no fever.)
I discovered fertilizer really works. About a week ago, I poured some Plant-tone around the back side of my peony where I'd weeded. I intended to weed the front side before finishing the job.
Squirrel!
About half the plant is taller and has buds. Maybe I discovered a way to extend my bloom season. Succession fertilizing. Haha!
I am curious about the bio360. Do you use only this or do you have some times when you use fabric?
loved it! I know it is too late for lisianthus plugs to order,would you like to share the information About the place, you bought the plug from, Farmer's Bell? So I can do that next year,thanks again for sharing your experience with us.
Unfortunately, typically Lisianthus is ordered months in advance. They will occasionally have extras though! The company is called Farmer Bailey.
@@FlowerHillFarm thank you so much for the information, I am planning for next year only,this year I am not able to do much because of my Clay soil, Getting ammended is almost feeding an elephant and on the top of that this is my first year with zero experience. I am following you on instagram too as renzinnia farm. I just love to follow everything you are doing with your land,You are such an inspiration.
What kind of camera do you use and tripod? My phone has no room and it is a struggle. Maybe cover the daffodils with leaves to avoid the splash. I just got gooseneck loosestrife - ugh. I got maybe 25 which is more than I can handle or ordered. I don't have a lot of room like you do. BTW in lynn byzinski's book she said this one is not invasive like the others! So! YES! I think the squishy tulips are immature. I had a couple.
I would pay for lessons from you on how to be comfortable behind a camera and in front. Oh my. I dropped two classes once upon a time because I couldn't. Just couldn't.
Hello fellow New Yorker
Why do you throw the tulip bulbs out & not let them come back next year? Beautiful flowers you have.
This is farming, it’s much different than landscaping - tulips don’t reliably come back and need to be rotated every year to prevent disease. Bulbs are composted every year!
We have an easier way to do the weed 360 fabric use pvc pipe in place of apple picker, then mount the pvc between two 'Rack-a-tiers multi purpose wire dispensers' (you're dad probably has a couple of these) then just roll it out easy peasy, use 4" wide landscape shovel to dig trench. That looks like a multiflora rose. If it is multifloral, PULL it out ASAP!!!🤯
I did that last year and it was a disaster for me because of my wind and just being one person. Keeping it on the ground is much better for my climate! I thought it would work for me but it didn’t 🤷♀️
@@FlowerHillFarm yeah wind can be atrocious 🤯
I am near Montreal and I have planted outside pre-sprouted Ranunculus 2 weeks after you (I think) - They stayed a bit longer inside. The are exactly the same size as you right now (you are my reference on that now) and I saw 1 bud on Ranunculus just 5 mins ago !! So it shouldn't be long before you see some ?
Aren't those white flowers at the end strawberries?
Nope, they aren't strawberries. I am going to use my Plant ID app and see what they are.
Can you do a video on the peonies? I have peonies and I’ve noticed ants all over them, how do you get rid of the ants for making bouquets
Yes the price in lumber is astronomical 😡
0:09 Trillium erectum! (they smell awful but you practically have to shove your nose in the flower to observe the fact). Ants disperse the seeds to Trillium plants but are not a requirement for success. I have a Trillium garden and it's annoying when the Trilliums start coming up in the lawn thanks to some ants helping the seeds to walk away.
Trilliums take the better half of a decade to reach a flowering age. 2 years to germinate, then the first year they have just one tiny leaf no bigger than your pinky nail and that's it for the year. They die back each summer. Second year after germinating they usually send up two leaves from the same hole. Then year three they make the typical three leaves Trilliums are named for. Flowering could happen any year after that and they're monofloral so one flower per stem per year. Thankfully the rhizomes are pretty good about dividing every other year or so, so once a plant gets started they can quickly form a small clump of stems but it still takes years to accomplish this. And something as simple as a deer nibbling at them can stress the plant into not making any stems the next year.
Thanks so much for your update! I’m just south of you in NY, zone 5A. Is it ok to plant my gladiolus bulbs that I just purchased? I also have some Columbine that I started from seed that is ready to go. I’m thinking I could plant both this weekend? Things look like they should be finally starting to warm up for us.
Yes, I would plant!
@@FlowerHillFarm Thank you! Hope you have a great day.
I hate the wild roses in my yard!
How are the deer with your peonies? I would like to try them but I have intense deer pressure, they even eat my chives!
They’ve never even sniffed at them 👍
How are you watering without drip tape under the bio360? Thanks
We average an inch of rain a week here and that is typically fine. I have a pump water system if we need to supplement.
@@FlowerHillFarm we do too, I was just thinking because the water doesn't go through the plastic that there would get too dry. Good to know you don't need drip!
The wild rose could be invasive multiflora rose.
STAY ON THE PATH!!!! 😂
Trillium is the Ontario provincial flower and illegal to pick. They are the white ones. Wild Roses are the Alberta flower and we are allowed to pick them, they are everywhere!,
Don't know how you find time to do TH-cam!
Did you install irrigation underneath your bio 360?
I do not. You can though!
I love your "squirrel" moments. makes me feel good about myself.
Looks like you have increased your workload a ton from last year! It looks great and I think your organization is really going to pay off this year.
Yes! Thank you! Definitely more work
What better than a Surprise?
A FRINGY SUPRISE!!!!
I potted 2 containers with 12 each of red tulips. I had 1 that actually bloomed, the rest looked like they were going to bloom but there was nothing inside the blooms. I pulled them all out and threw them away. I had given a friend half of my bulbs. She planted hers in the ground and hers bloomed beautifully.
Everything is looking healthy and divine! Keep staying so positive and producing your beautiful creations :)
Son of a thrip 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did you know the greatest ideas are made alone?
"Let me pull up a chair." Absolutely. 🌱🐿
I'm very interested in learning more about Bio-360 and using it next year probably. Do you have to put irrigation under it?
What a "Bonus" with the wild roses coming up! I told you you'd love the forest garden. Your also lucky to have trillium, and buds on the heliborus. I can not wait to see all your flowers bloom! Laurene
