  • Hi Flower Friends! Join me on the porch! Today I ramble on about joining forces with other local nurseries and growers to order wholesale- everybody wins! and GUYS - I found Specialty Cut Flowers for MUCH LESS than $262....and the author signed it for me! EEEEEK! I'm dealing with a little zinnia blight, I think. Also- I found my new TH-cam curse word..... hehehehehe

    I have followed about 25 You Tubers over the last year. Since finding Flower Hill Farm, you have quickly become my all time favorite. I love your humor, your genuineness, your humbleness, your exuberance, your adoration for flowers, your willingness to share your successes and failures, the list goes on. I especially love how you highlight individual flowers by photographing them up close. When you share your Mikayla Miranda Dahlia I immediately ordered it! Please know you brighten my life and the lives of many others. Thank you so much for sharing your flower life with all of us. Your enthusiasm is contageous!

    Thank you so much for being just you and showing us your beautiful flowers.
    Thank you also for staying positive no matter what.
    Thank you for not sort of telling us you need Payton because this old 71 year old lady living in the UK would love to do many Payton (sp) dyslexic, but just can't.
    Have only come across one person actually demanding that if we watch her videos, we should pay.
    Upsets me so.
    So thank you.
    You and your lovely family are a breath of fresh air and I am always happy to see you.
    God bless in all your ventures xxx

    As I’m watching this video again it made me giggle when you said someday I’ll have a shop, and now you have a huge business with five green houses. I’m so happy for you, you’ve came along way in a very short time l. That would totally be my dream job, as for now my garden vegetables and flowers are my hobby.

    I'm so glad you shared your floppy Zinnia stems. I have read that you are supposed to 'shake' them and somehow tell if they are going to be a stander or a flopper, but I don't seem to be able to tell the difference and I always have a few that flop. Glad I'm not the only one! I feel better!

    I really enjoy your videos! Your the flower friend I wish I had. I think I scare friends away because of my love of gardening. It's good to find a friend who has the same passion for it. I have friends who get absolutely offended if I say I can't do this or that because I have to get my garden chores done. Or they question me, "how could you possibly spend 8-10 hours in your yard". They must think I am lying. But I am not, come Spring and Summer.....you can find me many days in my yard from sun up to sun down. Few years ago when I had a serious slug issue eating all my prized hostas, I would be out there until midnight, killing slugs. Hahaha I think that's when some of my friends think I lost my mind. 😛. Nope, just had to save my plants 😁

    Hi Flower Friends...it's time to grab a coffee & catch up with you & your flowers. I've always grown perennials and only a few annuals. I like the progress updates on what works for you & lessons learned. Can't wait to see if those Midnight sweetpeas bloom. I'm interested to see what you do for frost protection to prolong the season. Do growers use seaweed as plant feed in autumn there? Thanks for the video.

    Love your video! FYI--you might be surprised about your kitty and the Oriental lily. I had a gorgeous persian cat for 16 years who would nibble plants at random, but when I brought lilies into the house and happily pull flowers out of arrangements with abandon. With lilies, she would sit near them and put her nose next to them to smell their scent--it was obvious she really liked the fragrance. But she never ate them.

    Great video!! Usually zinnias and phlox get hit with fungus, and a baking soda and water mix will take care of it, also beats back black spot and black rot on grapes. Keep it up!! And those glads are to die for!!!

    • @janetcorrao5072
      @janetcorrao5072 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Now that I am looking at the zinnias in the vid, it looks like a combination of black rot caused by high humidity, too much rain and high temps last few weeks. This is where you mark the varieties that did well, and those that experience stem collape as a result of the rot. And make sure when you clean up to trash and not compost the diseased plants!!!

    You can use it cover the entire vase and bouquet of Lilies, and that way they are safe to have in the house!

    I’m from upstate New York too Depew area near buffalo! I now live in virginia and we got so much rain in August like record breaking numbers so we have black spots on our zinnia leaves too. Most of mine are still performing nicely in the vase. This is my first year gardening and I’m loving it. Will you show how you do the oil treatment to the zinnias?

    I’m totally behind on my TH-cam watching this week. I have a backyard veggie garden with some flowers but very limited space. I live vicariously through your lovely flower farm. Just wanted you to know that your content is very informative, entertaining and I always have a chuckle. I know you grow many things but I would love a “best in show” from what you have grown video. Also, a wrap up (u live u learn)-what did well and what didn’t (what u killed😜). And a “hello flower friend” t-shirt would be great wit an illustration of one of ur bouquets maybe.Please no white cause I don’t understand why 🤔people keep making white T-shirts for gardeners.🌻
