Suggestion, get your mom a magnifying stand that is used for embroidery. Works like a charm for my old eyes. 💓
Thanks for the tip!
❤
I have a lit magnifying lamp with weighted stand. Works well to get light on soil blocks to see seeds & place them. I bought it for my husband to tie flies for fly fishing, but I borrow it. Haha
Or a dental loupe :)
That’s a great idea.
“Don’t start your seeds alone.” So glad to see you and your mom together.. I do miss you all with your grandpa.
Yay!!! So happy the baby’s breath got there on time for your project. I was a little nervous, making sure it was the right one. I hope you get good germination. ☺️ You and your momma make a great team. You ladies put a smile on my face. Thank you.
Coming in to the rescue with that baby's breath 👍👍
Here in SE coastal NC I have (eryngium) sea holly that acts like a perennial! Yay!
Your mom is a dream. My mom died last month. She was my dearest person. Treasure these moments
Aww, I’m sorry. My mom died 19 years ago. It was a really weird feeling for me, almost like I was floating in the universe. I’m sorry for your loss, but glad you had a wonderful relationship with her.
Your mom is a saint….snapdragons…Oey. That is deserving of a very special dinner! Anything for our children. Your entire family is a blessing. 💕💕💕
More mom, more mom, we love her!! My daughter and I watch from WI! Our favorite channel! Nicole thank you for showing my daughter how important it is to be yourself! You are great!
Nicole, now I know where you get your fun and musical personality! Your mom has a great sense of humor and is relaxed in front of the camera. I love seeing your family members included in your videos. ~Margie🤗💚🎶
That's why we like your videos Nicole because you show and tell it like it is. Bonny
Whenever I see blocked soil, it makes me want brownies!!!!
Your mom is such an angel!! Taking on the smallest seeds..... given to her by accident, if course. 😉😉😉 And I totally agree, you needed to have companionship through this planting seed season!! God bless your mom!! Happy gardening!!
Lovely to see you having such nice time with your mom…
Flower Mom is the best!
Nicole one of the best aspects of your channel is the realness. I truly appreciate your humor, your pups, your family and your funky heart shaped shades you rock…😂😂😂 keep doing you I surely appreciate you. ❤❤❤ from Croton on Hudson, NY.
Watching from Germany. The longer videos are GREAT! ❤
You and your Mom have great musicality! Love watching you together, so much fun.
Love seeing you and your mom sowing together ❤ I get a bit teary-eyed. That's the same humor I had with my mom 😅
I also love that you show stuff like clearing the table and other "normal" things others pretend never happars, because they always have a perfect and tide home 😂😂
When I seed cells it helps to have a little piece of paper that i move over each time i seed. Sometimes that is one of my kids job, to follow me and move the paper
So glad you are going to get help to lighten your load. You won’t regret the time you spend with your kids. It goes so fast and there will always be work to do.
I love your mom! You are great together.❤❤
Hail Queen Mum! So good to see you again!
Love that you were able to start seeds with your mom. It’s always fun to watch you interact & reminds me of how much I enjoy spending time gardening with my own mom 💚
Always enjoy your content. For years the "tooth pick" method has been a game changer, one of the many tips and tricks I've learned from you. Love that you don't go all high end with your sowing method; accessible to all...no fancy equipment needed. And BTW, keep singing, puts a smile on my face. 😺
Your face you made when your mom asked about the size of your seeds! 😳🤪LOL!
Love your mom’s hair cut!! It frames her face so lovely. Takes years off her appearance.
Rock it, mama!!
I’ve been watching you for a while now. I just grow for my own city garden and I love your content. I learn so much and the fact that you show when things aren’t perfect is so reassuring. Thank you 💜🌿
I absolutely LOVE your mom’s hair cut ❤❤❤gorgeous!!!!
The Grinch side grin 😂😂😂 Serena from You Can’t Eat the Grass has THE BEST method for sowing snaps! Sprinkle them over the soil and then when they’re still super tiny, carefully prick them out and transplant. I tried it one year and they did great and I will never go back to trying to sow tiny individual seeds 😂
Thinking of you all. It's hard losing someone close and doing things you used to do with them, without them 😢💖
I was excited when you and your mom started singing “Witch Doctor”. Nobody i know remembers that song!😂
I think you've done a good job of showing both sides of the farm - good and bad. When I neglect part of my garden, not even farm, I have a hard enough time admitting it to myself, let alone the whole internet.
Oh yes, love the longer videos 😊
I love your mom!
Love your moms haircut
Love those orangey red pots on your Hoosier!
This is so wonderful. My dad taught me to garden as a kid and it has stuck with me ever since. I'm 62 now, and still gardening, my dad's not around anymore, but every time I plant a seed, harvest, do anything garden related...I think of my dad. Wish he was still around to garden with me.
The swift blocker was a game changer for me this year. I was able to rapidly make all the soil blocks I needed and my hands weren’t killing me when I was finished. I blocked them onto extra long trays and then used a pancake flipper to lift up however many I needed at a time.
I planted some seeds yesterday....it's so nice to have your mom help you a labor of love!!
Thank you so much for showing the hard parts too! As a new flower farmer I would have been so discouraged year one I'd no one had shown the struggles. Instead I'm like oh Nicole from flower hill farm or Laura from garden answer had a video about that too! ❤ so really tha k you for being real.
Your mom is too sweet!
How wonderful we got all those happy moments with your grandpa, we all bonded and hold him in our hearts ❤️, enjoy all your family ❤️
I invert a bottom tray over the light phobic seeds. The vermiculite leaks. Thanks for another great video.
First time watcher here. I love your video! You are hilarious. I live in the suburbs of Chicago and only have a small amount of landscape, but i use what i have. Hoping to get some beds for along out back fence this year. I always admire the farms around here and wish for just a small piece. But, i'm making the best of what ive got. Soil blocking for first time this year. Looking forward to your updates! You and your mom are great!
Goodluck in this new season from me, the guy who owns Flora nursery
One day, you will barely remember what it was like to have the kids still at home. Treasure every moment.
I always look forward to your flowers. 💐
You make my day here in Piedmont, Mo. My snaps are ready to go out . I'm so excited for my first time Snaps. Lv you guys😊
Thanks, now I have the chimney song in my head 😂
Yay lots of seeds!!!! I guess that means I need to start my cool flowers too.
I love the age of Benjamin and Samantha. They're so adorable living their best life.
They are absolutely precious!
First of all, impressed your mom could do snap seeds without glasses on. Does she wear contacts? She has a fun personality and I see where you get your personality from. Not afraid to be silly, sing, etc. Love your relationship. Have you ever tried winter sowing your snaps? I do these exclusively outdoors now because they're such pains. Works great!
I watch Laura and Jess also. You are in good company
Love your sense of humour!!
Love Select Seeds!!
Good work!! Glad mom came to help!!!! 🌱🌱🌱💕
I hope you always show us weeds and all, because we’re all dealing with the same things and I learn best by watching how you deal with everything. Mom looks fantastic! I’m glad you girls are sowing together! I have potting soil but no compost for soil blocking. I hope it works.
Nicole you’re killing me with the “I had no idea “ smurk 😅
Laughed out loud!
Omg, that tail on your kitty!! Gorgeous fluffball.
You have a wonderful Mom! ❤️ That is so nice of her to help you with your seeds! I also hope Laura and Aaron's kiddos continue to make appearances. They're too cute!
Hi Nicole, seed starting with you and your family is like watching holiday preparations! So much love and fun! I lost a lot of my Ranunculus last year to rot as we got a very warm spell before I was able to get my plants in the ground! I’m always thankful you share the joys and challenges of being a flower farmer! Peace and blessings on you all! ♥️🌹
You have a fun mom! 😊
Whoop whoop! Spring is coming!
now I can truly see where the singing comes from!!! love your whole family!! Stacie from rochester here!!!
You made me fall in love with lisianthus. I have had zero luck starting them.
I love the way you do seeds, Genius❣️ That's how I did them, minus the seed blocker. I'll get one some day. For now I mush it together and water threw the side walls. Plus the celo cups for bigger plants. Growing flowers gets big fast and I appreciate all the help I can get❣️
I am SO HAPPY that you are hiring help this year! Yay!!! When is your birthday Nicole?
December!
@@FlowerHillFarmI knew you had to be a December baby I am as well and I’m drawn to fellow Sagittarius friends!
The most wonderful time of the year!!!! Family is everything.
I love your videos!! I started a very small flower farm but had some health issues & can't continue this year 🫤 so I've been living vicariously ❤
Watching this made me go and check my petunia seeds (no movement yet. They be slow) and then start pestering my bestie about our garden lol
Love this video!
Your Mom is so sweet & seems so fun to be around! I lost my Mom when I was 28, cherish these moments 😌
Loving your videos! I am obsessed with flowers atm! I heard from other sources that vermiculite lets light through, so I am using it for seeds that need light to germinate. So far it seems to be working. Always great to see all experiences of how to grow from seed! Looking forward to a seedling update ☺️
It definitely depends on how fine the vermic is and how thickly you put it on! Mine is very fine and I load it on for dark loving seeds. I've also used it sparingly on lisianthus and other seeds that need light and that's worked great! :)
Love it all! Love to see you and your mom having some fun❤️❤️❤️
They look like brownies!
“Are your seeds bigger?”
Your face! 😂😂
I used channel trays last year for my snaps, and they turned out so well that I'm trying it again this year! I can't thank you enough for recommending them, they save so much space in my little lighted greenhouse tents :)
I'm so glad!
I have noticed something about your mom she may not be on camera a whole bunch but she is always there doing something from cleaning to painting the greenhouse when u first got it and painting the tables to seed starting ..everything she is always there amd she is amazing
I need to start seeds too! Last year and this year have been a bust. Last year I was fostering some puppies that dragged all my seed trays off the table and chewed them up 🙄 and we were also training for a bike ride so time was limited. This year hasn't started off good either. Been gone 3 out of the past 4 weeks out of town and the seeds sprouted but didn't have sunlight for a couple days. Ugh....sometimes it's a good year and sometimes it's not.
Yay! Flower therapy 😁
This so touched my heart. Look at you guys getting down to growing. You could do some serious dusting with Evie's tail!! That greenhouse is going to look like everyone else's spring messes. Keep it real..and just let us tag along with you! So glad you can get some help in there... you gotta have a life, too, ya know. I think it'll make a big difference for you. I really don't know how you keep things straight..my brain would explode! Yay! I got C. Chiminee, too.
Phlox is my fav as well. Not into red flowers but i may have to try that variety this year ❤
I'm so happy to see you post this video. This head to have been really hard for you. We Are all sitting here trying not to cry while watching it knowing how much grandpa is missed😢❤
Get a LED floor lamp. They're released small and they have a flexible head. They're less than 30 bucks. They work great and you can point them directly over the seeds. And it makes them show up even the tiniest ones because you can put it on Different types of color. It will make it so you can see a black lavender seed on black soil. This might help your mom so she doesn't lose track😊
Aww she just loves her grandma 😅..these r my favorite videos thx
Great job!😊
So excited to see you and your mom starting seeds! How do you handle seedlings care when you are out of town?
Great video, wonderful you had your Mom helping, the best times in life spending with your Mama ❤
i love when you release new videos! such a treat. Will you pot up these soil blocks into bigger ones?
Thank you for a great video and you make me smile every time I watch your videos
Love you and your videos.
You might want to ask about ability to lift, stoop, get dirty, be around fertilizers, following directions, andgardening experience (which all can be learned). Edited to add that most electric companies charge a premium for electric from 4pm - 9pm, so you might want to adjust your light timers.
Snaps were so much easier doing it the way Serina from You Can't Eat the Grass does.
Pizza table? Nice
For seeds thatneed darkness I put some cardboard on top. May be worth a try? Great you‘re sowing together. 👍 I also need a sowing pal 😂
I just got that sprayer!
Thank you for another Great video.❤❤❤❤❤
Wow a lot of seeds done..good job❤❤❤
You and your Himalayan salt are very relatable.
Barbie tables,love it.😂
The red bugs that make red dye plus the dye for Ruby Red Grapefruit juice are coccineal bugs.
Thank you thank you for these amazing videos! So I have had the same germination issue with phlox. Now I only presprout them on a wet paper towel in a baggy in the dark. 😊
I would love to work for you. Dream job! Come on! The only problem is the cross country commute. I live in Utah 😢
You could do stand up! Lol
Sending love ❤
