I really miss these flower farming videos
Hey Nicole, just like you manifested your childhood home, you will have your shop too! I'm cheering for you! Greetings from California. ~Karla.
Nicole picks up her crate of harvested tulips.... I can tell she's in her happy place! 🌸❤
Yes! I'm so glad I found her channel! I have been having a blast harvesting tulips & daffodils, & playing around with making bouquets & I cant wait til all my annuals start to bloom!
I wish we were closer. A friend bought a refrigeration unit from a flower shop and used it for produce and not selling produce any more. It’s approximately 10’x15’. .
Maybe her husband would drive to get it for her....worth mentioning she might have not seen you comment...
Hey Nicole, I loved your information about keeping the flowers dry in the fridge. Could you maybe do a video in the future of a list of methods of how to a)prolong flower life and b)hurry bloom? I know you give our pieces of this info in your videos but I think because you've had to adapt to not having a large fridge, you probably have amazing tricks to control the life span of a cut flower.
Such a hard worker!! Your mom, too!!
Nicole, get a non working box freezer put it outside you can then use it as a fridge until it gets Hot outside! 🌹🌻
Nicole, all your fans will donate for a big fridge for you. Set it up. Godspeed
I'm dreaming of next years tulips! I only had about 500 this year and they all sold like hot cakes! All I have is a spare refrigerator too. Lol it works. 🤣
I have to tale a nap though, while my 2 year old is napping or ill regret it later! So I have to watch later!
Tahiti is my favorite and they smell like tropical fruit😮
Tons of restaurants closed this year permenantly, industrial refrigerators are easier to pick up used than ever before. Some of your local refrigeration repair people may know of good deals and/or there are restaurant auction sights.
Yes yes yes!!!
Wow, you're going to have such a beautiful display of tulips and daffs for Mother's Day! It's so nice of your mom to be helping you with your porch!
Have you checked out Facebook market place for maybe just another fridge! At least for now. I checked my area and a ton are available pretty cheap.
What an exciting time for you! Your business is out stripping your space. You are getting orders from your CSA and the florist. Your youtube is growing as well. You will work thing out and keep growing bigger and bigger. I wish you the best!
Thank you 💐
Listened to podcast this morning, very informative, he said refrigerator is a must, and I liked how she stores her tulips in craft paper and stores them in crates
Mom's are the best!
I love watching the process. My back hurt on your behalf watching you bend to rinse the bulbs. lol. Your mom and mother in law are treasures!
My head is spinning, between sowing, planting, harvesting, marketing and selling you must be exhausted! Not to mention that you take the time to share your journey with all of us...filming and editing takes time too (and reading all of our comments...which you do!). Love all the family support you have. As stressed as you may be, you always have a smile on your face and because of that we do too.
Can't wait to see all the flowers opening up!
Time to start trading bouquets for fridge space with near by friends 🌷🌷🌷
I’ve contemplated this! 😂
Air conditioner in a small space could work .
Not sure if it’s an option for you... but I’ve rented a refrigerator for big parties. It seems it was $40 for a week or so.
You are great!!!Loved the video and daffodils.
You have such nice parents and in-laws to help you so often! So sweet to see 🥰
I love the hyacinths in beginning.. very cute.
zone 7a had a couple of tulips too short for vasing but left them in the garden for a spectacular show and learned to enjoy them there (not selling just enjoying). love your adventure.
Thank you for sharing, loving the content. Its always fun to watch.
When you get your Trex or TimberTech deck, you will love it. I replaced a 30 year old deck; only needed to shore up original frame and new TimberTech deck surface is WONderful!
I’m so excited to one day have it! It’ll be a couple years I think before we can save up for it 💐
I can’t wait to see your bouquets this summer!
Good luck Nicole! I am so excited to see your progress. Everything will work out the way it is supposed to if you have faith ;)
So excited for tulips !!!🌷 😁
Nicole, have you ever done a video just on the different companies you purchase all your bulbs from, the reason why you choose a certain one over the other, your experience with each one and just any specific reasons you prefer one over the other, who might have the best variety, and so forth? Thanks
Not recently!
@@FlowerHillFarm Do you store dafs in the frig in water? How long will they keep?
Nicole, “ My refrigerator is full of daffodils.” My brain “so where do you keep food?” Before the identification of the “flower fridge” with pizza and leftovers. And guest water. Sounds like a perfect balance to me 🤣
Helloooo Sweet Daff 👋
Talking to you Nicole.
That's your new nickname!
🟡🧡🟡🧡🟡🧡🟡🧡🟡🧡🟡
I love it!
Nicole have you ever considered going to a restaurant equipment and get walk-in cooler from liquidation auction in your area.
hers to hoping yo get a cooler for mothers day ;)
I hope and wish you get to build that shop and expand your business… I am amazed of what some women are capable of, kids plus business plus side hustle…I ve always dreamed to start my business too but when I see what’s involved I get chills.I wish I was more brave 😂.
The flowers are beautiful! I wish I had just some of your knowledge of growing flowers
I adore you and your videos! I am new to the daffodils and tulips this year! Planted 1200 last fall and have learned quite a bit from you! Thanks :) I'll be picking some tomorrow and storing in a college sized fridge that one of my kiddos left behind to hopefully hold until our self serve stand opens a few days before Mothers Days!! xoxo
I love daffodils flowers ❤❤❤
Best wishes! Praying for you 🙏🏻 I bet your going to have a great shop in the future 👍🏻💐
I had no idea they can last that long in the fridge!
The thriping trucks go by, quite please, filming in progess.😂🎶😂. Your spring harvest is already so beautiful. I'm sure you'll have plenty to go around including for Mother's Day, knowing you! Rooting for you from Massachusetts!
And also---have you ever looked into purchasing a used fridge from your local electric company? I don't know where you're located but some electric companies in my state offer a free pickup service for people who find themselves with too many fridges. Some of them they rip apart to do - something - with, and others they offer for sale. I have a gardener friend who picked up a BIG one for fifteen bucks. Just a thought!
Great snippet of music around 11:23-11:35!
Looking forward to the parrot mix. Trying to decide if I want to grow some
Wow!
How can anyone give you a thumbs down I guess they are jealous
OMG, what a great video and I'm so sad that I've not found your channel until now! I suffer from bulb MANIA in the hugest font possible...and this video really hit home. I don't sell my flowers and I don't have thousands, as you do, but I have a WHOLE LOT and every year I somehow manage to find room for more and more and more. I think I might even go so far as to say I have a little bit of a *ahem* "problem" with scented narcissus---King Winston lol, Delnashaugh, Tahiti, Actaea, Vanilla Peach (silly me thought these might smell like peaches! lol - no, but they smell fantastic)...and so many others. Didn't know about the "color crack" - great tip! Now I'm caught up in my annual amaryllis/paperwhite insanity, while also watching the UPS guy deliver more and more and MORE tulips and alliums and frittilarias and...since the ground is frozen I'm scrounging for pots. No idea if you'll even see this but if you do, THANKS AGAIN!
You doing such a good job. Very inspiring!!! So much energy!!! Where are you getting so much energy? Straight away start to look for some books, bulbs and cut flower seeds in EU but not a chance. You are so amazing with mimic and acting, yawning and sneezing!!! I wish i could do a tiny bit of social and workaholic as you are. Please any chance to get a chance to communicate with your dearest friend Jenna (hope got name right)? Thanks a lot. 🤗
The tulips look good, I know you think they are a bit short. Have you seen Serinas (can't eat the grass) tulips. I feel for her. It has to be the strange weather.
I just saw that video they are beautiful but way to short
Love your videos. Could you show us your Dahlias sprouts indoor please and a seedling updates. Impatient to see how they are doing
i didn't plant any daffodils or tulips maybe next year! I did get some iris and glads in. I am enjoying watching this video for future reference. T.Y.
Just a thought Nicole. Cutflowers are a specialty crop there are federal grants for farmers growing specialty crops. If your interested I can look for the link. Then you could look into building a container cool box?
Hi, you know if you don’t have enough room in fridge for tulips with bulbs you can put them in cool place on ice (2 inches) in a bucket vertically wrapt in paper. No water.
Hahaha the bags of clothes. Totally relate. Except our thrift stores around here stopped taking stuff cause they're so full! 😳
Oh man! Ours finally opened back up a few months ago. I’ve already made one trip with maybe six bags 🌼
@@FlowerHillFarm
We have drop boxes called Planet Aid and also one for the Children’s hospital and that’s where I take all my donations.....
There’s plenty of diy flower cooler videos on TH-cam. You just need an ac unit, some wood and some insulation.
That’s the eventual plan!
Maybe a old refrigerator truck?........
😍😍😍🌸💐 hope they last 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
What about some coolers with frozen water jug to store tulips?
Enjoyed the Mario bros desert theme music!😆
Your green hat looks cute on you...I saw where you can take peony buds and keep them in a fridge and hold them all summer to open...
I love Japanese Iris and the dried flower pod makes a pretty accent to a flower arrangement...my regular Iris are slow to open this year...do you have any remedy to prevent the brown streaks that are in the leaves......should I spray them now before they are attacked....
As a cool room couldn’t you make a room in your basement or barn like we did to hold our hanging beef and pork when butchering with air conditioner....just a thought.....🌻
Wish I was closer (or if you were closer to me-would hate to give up my zone 7b in GA)! I would totally buy a CSA! Interesting about how the daffodils store dry for so long. Who would’ve figured?!?!
HI Nicole Do you save the bulbs and plant the next year?
Your mom is the 🐝🐝🐝 knees! Thanks for the daffodil dry storage tip. 😊 Where did you get your green hat? It's adorable and I love the color!
I made the hat! Thank you 😊
i am so jealous, but good jealous. It inspired me to grow my own the next year. Hard worker. you said you liked when the stems are shor, correct? i did not hear this part well. Why do you like them shorter? i thought people prefer taller stems. thank you for sharing! 🌷🌼
Ohhh I was kinda whispering - I said I did NOT like it!
Do you have a list of flowers that are good for refrigeration? Hate the fridge? And longest lasting in and out of fridge?
My biggest problem is knowing when to harvest particular flowers. Meaning, at bud stage, after, before, etc. Peonies, when they crack open, etc. Is there a book that you'd recommend for that?
Girl! Kids grow way too fast! My daughter is 11 and already taller than me. 😅 ordering shoes is much easier now since we wear the same size. 🤣
What do you do with your tulip bulbs after you harvest them ? Do you throw them out and buy new ones every year or do you store them also how do you store them if so
They will not produce a reliable bloom. They are annuals in farming.
What are you doing with the tulip bulbs? Are you towing them?
Do you set your refrigerator at any special setting?
Nicole, I might’ve missed this but why do you pull out the daffodils rather than snipping them with a pair of scissors. Just because it’s faster? I would be afraid I’d pull the whole thing out. Love your videos I’ve learned so much. 🐝
Longer stems! I pull the entire tulip out. Bulb and all. I’ve never once accidentally pulled out a daffodil bulb- they’re down there pretty good. Yes, it is also faster, but it’s really for a longer stem for the daffodils
@@FlowerHillFarm Thank you, I’ve i’ve learned from you that I’ve been cutting my flowers when they’re in full bloom, when I should be cutting them when I just see them start to open for a longer vase life. Why I never realized that I have no idea, but thank you so much.
Love your videos. Wanted to order a soil blocking set, but it seems that you are out. When are going to have more that I can purchase?
Hi! I do not sell them. I found mine at thegardenersworkshop.com
What temp do you have your flower fridge set at? I tried holding over dads & tulips & they all wilted & wouldn’t rehydrate. I’m assuming it’s set too cool.....also my Tahiti dads are white not yellow! Go figure! XO 😘 thanks for all the tips!
It’s around 40 but can be down lower.
What is the video on the surprise tulips that you planted in Dec? I would love to see what he sent you.
It’s there! Look under my video tab
I have been looking for Sir Winston Churchill everywheres! I can't find any suppliers that ship to canada!
I put the cuttings that I cut from my sweet peas to pinch them and I put them in a small container of water, they are now growing Roots can they also grow to flower if planted in soil?
Yup!
Love your hat...pattern where can I get it.
You need some felco pruners!! Must be hard to keep track of what bulbs are what after you cut the stems off. But I know you have a plan, lol.
We don’t keep the bulbs! They don’t produce again the next year after cutting
Flower Hill Farm really!? I never knew that. Thanks.
@@n.w.414 Color Blends is where I buy my bulbs wholesale and they say if you purchase mid blooming tulips, let them die back completely before cutting them down, don’t plant anything over or around in the summer that would get watered the bulbs do have a good chance of coming back. I did this summer and will see next spring.
Beautiful flowers..can you replant the bulbs?
They do not typically produce a bloom again the next year. They are annuals for me.
Great video ! Do the tulip nets protect from Deer?
It’s an added measure to prevent anything from chomping on them, yes!
whats the dimensions on the tahiti patch and how many were planted there?
Could you get another used frig and put it in the garage or the basement?
No room! I’ve already taken up too much space 😂
What do you do to keep the weeds out after the daffodils are done blooming? Last fall I planted a 100 ft row that are just peeking out of the dirt. Weeds are showing already. I might have a big mess!😬
I do nothing. It's a grass patch when it is not daffodils.
What do you do with the bulbs on the tulips that you pulled up? Value your information.
Hi Nicole, first thank you for all your informative and funny videos! I've made a search in your videos but I can't find one that shows the right stage to harvest double tulip, can you help me? It's my first year flower farming and growing tulip for cut flowers. Thank you for your time!
I just posted a pic of double tulips I harvested on my Instagram @flowerhillfarmny
They are nearly open
@@FlowerHillFarm Thanks, I just saw the picture. This is the best stage to keep it in a cooler or your filled fridge? :)
Is the netting to prevent deer?
I love your hat and boots are they the same brand? Will you please tell me were you got your beani!! I collect them!! Lol.
I actually made it myself! I crochet 🧶
The boots are Bogs 4H edition
Question- my anenomes started flowering, but the stem is literally a few inches tall. Can't cut for a bouquet. Will the following stems grow longer? Is there a fertilizer I can feed it? Ranunculus plants are also short. Tips?
The first buds are shorter, they should lengthen and be usable in two weeks.
@@FlowerHillFarm oh good! That's a relief! Thank you ☺
Question...do you support your peonies. If you do, what do you use?
Mine are harvested before they open so they do not require any support! 💐
Will the daffodils come back next year? how far down are you 'picking' the daffodils - hard to see in the video.
Yes they come back. I reach down into the stem about an inch and pull
Question, I harvested tulips with the bulbs put them in the fridge. Is it normal for them to wilt? And how long before you need them do you take them out and put them in water? MANY THANKS
It can be normal. I usually hydrate them overnight and the vast majority of then recover. I'd give them at least 2 hours of hydration before trying to use them in arrangements.
@@FlowerHillFarm thx!!! So greatful😅😬😁
Just curious, why do you harvest into crates instead of buckets of water? Seems like crates would be lighter and easier than buckets full of water but I've never seen it done like this.
They’re being stored dry. I don’t harvest into water when I am dry storing. Harvesting tulips into crates is standard in farming!
@@FlowerHillFarm how long a life can you get from dry storage? And do you cut them at a different stage? I would love to see you dedicate a video on dry storing. You give tidbits of wonderful information yet always leaves me with more questions. Thank you for your transparency. My local flower peeps are stingy in sharing.
I must’ve missed it but which one was the “special treasure”?
They were revealed in this video: th-cam.com/video/KpVFVOBETG4/w-d-xo.html
Hi Nicole why do you include the bulbs when you pick the tulips?
Longer storage post-harvest! It also cleans up my fields for the next crop. Tulips are annuals for farming
Are you going to replant the tulip bulbs?
No, they are one and done.
What is the purpose of the netting over the tulips?
Chewing deer and bunnies have a harder time when they are covered!
Can someone tell me why are the bulbs being pulled? I know She mentioned tulips are annual for flower growers but why?! Thanks!
Tulips need to be moved to prevent disease, they are not reliable perennials. They rarely come back once they are cut. I’ve done several videos on the topic 💐
@@FlowerHillFarm thank you! Sorry I’m new to your channel and I’m watching every video!
U need a second hand frig in garage. My hubby has one for 🍺 why not flowers
We have a third one in the garage!
@@FlowerHillFarm you need a big walk in then. How do you keep up with it all and stay sane. You are the 💣💐💐💐💐💐
Someday 🤞🤞🤞💐🥰
