You have the best personality!! You seem happy all the time and for some reason that tends to make me a bit happy when I’m down.
Happy to help!
Watching you makes me happy! You are fun!
I love your flower videos but I am so happy to see you also growing plenty of produce… In the times we are in… growing your own food is a very smart thing to do! 🙂❤️
That orange rust colored snapdragon is spectacular! So enjoyed seeing your veggie garden.
For blossom end rot try tums or rolaids in the soil around the base of the plant. They usually need extra calcium. For the aphids if they are only on one plant, then that plant has health issues. You could get rid of that plant or try a light soap solution sprayed on. Leave for 20-30 minutes then spray off leaves thoroughly with plain water. Spray the soil around the plant too. Make sure to rinse it off or plant will die. You are so fun to watch. I am a bedding plant grower for Moose Lake Farmer's Market in Minnesota. Zone 3a-b. Thank you for youtube-ing!!!!
I’m loving your shirts! Lol Ok, Bloomer! 😂😂😂
I think you should do a whole video on your T-Shirt collection. LOL. One of the things I always look forward to in your videos.
Haha thanks! I made this one the other day and couldn’t wait to wear it 🤣💓
😂😂😂😂ur reaction to the ripe cherry tomato ....chyummmchyummm
Your snaps are fantastic. Here in 8b Central Texas we expect 107 today and a heat warning is in effect.
So it could also be the birds may be eating the tops of your green beans. They do enjoy tender plants. One year they attacked my pepper plants that I was overwintering here in California.
And those snapdragon bouquet in both of your arms 🤩!!!
Cant win with people…use netting and people go after you for using plastic. Go the environmental route and the floppy flower police hop into action😂😂😂. Love the outtake’s!!!🌸💗🌸
Laughing my butt off at you dropping the Tomato out of your mouth! You are so...me. LOL We'd be trouble together you and I. Yay more Snap Dragon videos to come. 👽
Aphids are SO bad this year up in Nova Scotia also, it seems to be everywhere. Awesome to see your beautiful veggie garden, thanks for sharing :)
I’m so glad I’m not the only one battling the weeds! Garden is coming along so well 🙌🏻.
You are a gift!
Hearing the "snip" from your clippers is so satisfying! :)
Your gardens are the AWESOME SAUCE!! 🎉 I love it all! 😍 We have the pig weed too here in Northeastern Pennsylvania zone 6b. I use cardboard boxes for weed block on the pathways and I use triple layered, non-glossy newspapers with edges overlapping all around plantings. I put grass clippings over the cardboard & newspapers...and wet it down with a hose. When it dries it stays in place pretty well. It all breaks down into the soil over the growing season. My husband collects the grass clippings with a sweeper/bag attachment behind the lawn tractor. We let it age for a week or so ...so it's not going to harm plants with being too hot as it cures. It looks SO beautiful in the vegetable garden! 😍 It's not necessary but I feel less stressed about the weeds taking over and it really works. It keeps the weeds away for the season. Maybe you could test it out in a section next year to see if you think it is worthwhile? OR have your kids do it at the beginning of the season and tell them they won't need to keep doing it like they usually do. 😎
In any case, thank you very much for your videos and your bubbly vibes. Me likey very much! 😛🥰🌺🦋👏👏👏👏👏👏
I’m in pa too. I never thought of using newspaper as a weed barrier too. That’s genius! So much easier to manipulate around plants. Thanks for the tip!
Yay! I look forward to seeing your videos🌸🌸💕 xx Cathi xx 😘
Thanks Cathi!
You're vegetable garden looks really good!
Love summer and watching things grow!
Ty so much for sharing your vegetable garden! Love it! 👏 My stuff is behind too because we had a cool spring, but all of a sudden It went from 75 degrees everyday to 95+ so everything was suffering. I grew Barry's Crazy Cherry for the first time last year & was so amazed at the clusters!
The Pigweed is also called Jamaican Callaloo or Chinese Spinach. It’s delicious when harvested and cooked while young. It’s definitely invasive.
Great veggie garden.
You are too cute Nicole...Spitting out that tomato....eating the first one....singing to the snaps! You are truly in your space where you are meant to be and it shows. Love this video. Can't wait to see the zinnias!
I just ordered some tulips and I’m so excited. Thank you Nicole! Love watching your videos. I learn something new all the time!!
So much goodness to come Mother Hubbard! My husband planted starts from the compost. I thought they were pumpkins, but the fruit looks like a cross betwee a zucchini and a gourd!
I’m in the uk and we had a Problem last year with a big seed retailer selling cucurbits that had been unintentionally crossed in the fields- they produced bitter fruits that were poisonous . Apparently you can test the fruits by licking them before cooking or eating, if they taste bitter, don’t use them!
If you grow more than one variety of squash, the will cross pollinate, so the seeds will produce crosses.
Volunteers are always surprising!!
This vid is so summer perfect with all the flowers and veggies! Just curious, have you ever checked on the columbine that you and your mommy planted out in the woods sometime ago? Thanks and more flower power Nicole!
Foliage growth but no blooms on them this year! Hopefully next year otherwise it might be too shady for them in there.
@@FlowerHillFarm possibly, I had blooms this year on ones I grew from seed last year.
Can I make a request for a video of canning your famous tomato sauce pls? ❤️
Gorgeous snapdragons
Ok I’m relieved, I thought my sunflowers are tiny because I planted them so close to each other, but when I saw this video it made sense phew!
My sunflowers are about 2-3 feet shorter than usual too and I am located near Wichita, Kansas (zone 6b)
I just love seeings all your contents. You're so cheerful and energetic. I actually can feels all the happiness by just watching your video. You make my days feels more alive too. 🤩👍🏼👍🏼
I was just thinking, what ever kinda tomato taste good green I must have in my garden 😄
All your hard work is really paying off. So many beautiful flowers 💐
Ok, totally digging that tshirt.
Thanks! I made it LOL I couldn't help myself.
Ohhhh how lovely - Thank you for sharing! I admit I have a lot of garden envy. I’ve followed along and my garden is soooooo far behind and feeling very unproductive :(. I lost a lot of my seedlings to rabbits this year and tried to catch back up. Even my seedlings that didn’t get munch are still no where near the production you have. I will love the blooms vicariously through you since mine aren’t playing 🥰
Omg you have so much Abundance 😎😎😎
Lol! You reminded me of my son spitting out a cherry tomato! Beautiful food filled garden 😝😁😊😂😁
Thank you!
I wish I knew why my snaps won’t stand up straight! I’m wondering if maybe they’re just not getting enough sun? Who knows anyway love you Nicole keep doing what you’re doing you’re awesome girl!!!!
I had my first cherry red tomato yesterday from a volunteer. Isn't it exciting!🍅 Your flowers are gorgeous. Have you ever made tea from your basil? I've been it over in roots and refuge.
I love how real your garden is. I am in Niagara, Canada but we are zone 6b. Our farm looks very similar to yours tho and the weeds are REAL. This year we are dipping our toes in permaculture and so far its been good! It is an investment mulch and compost but its been so worth it my weeds are so much less in those beds thank goodness. Thank you for sharing I learn so much watching your channel!
I drop whatever I’m watching or doing to get to your video. Always worth it.
Those sunflowers are gorgeous!!! Your singing voice is lovely 😊 you definitely are a great actress and so much funI would definitely pay to see you on stage if you ever want to move down state! Just love you Nicole!
Thank you so much!!
The veg garden is looking fantastic! Awesome job. :)
Thank you so much for the bulbs being provided at wholesale prices ❤️ I can't wait to get them planted this December!!!
Your snaps are gorgeous! Growing them for the first time this year and I can't believe that I've never grown them before. I'm in love!!🧡 So enjoyed the vegetable garden tour...I also planted (snow) peas out REALLY late this year and our weather has been hot, hot, hot (+90's every friggin day) but they are flowering like champs and just starting to produce. It's surprising but goes to show that breaking the 'rules' can be a good thing 🙂
Watching your videos is the highlight of my day! I think you’ve made a monster out of my mom and me though we caught the dahlia bug/snapdragon/ sunflower 🌻 etc lmao 🤣 every time you’re planting we are too now. I was wondering though if you could make a long video of what a day in your life is like on the farm so people can see all that goes into it? That’d be so cool 😎.
Thanks,
Amber 🌻
immediately bought that shirt! LOVEEEEE A GOOD PUN
😂You made me laugh so hard at the end!🤣
Love your videos. Cherokee Purple is my favorite tomato! Great tasting big slicer that's an awesome stew/juicer.
I have some of those! Can't wait :)
They are one of my favorites too! I guarded the jars of roasted Cherokee Purple tomato sauce. Made the Best creamy tomato soup in the winter. I still think about every time I'm deciding which varieties to grow. Wish they grew better in our new place.
I would love to see your sauce making recipe. I am drowning in tomatoes this year and huge ones!!! I need help! Lol so if you do a video I would love that!
Your garden is so gorgeous! We are done with tomatoes and I had blight so bad. Or squashes are giving at the right number this year. I just love how beautiful all your produce is.
My tomatoes are starting to yellow a bit and I have a feeling I’ll have blight before too long. My potatoes also had some
Girl you are hilarious
I'm right there with you on just about everything. My sunnies are shorter as well but like yours, they are perfect for bouquets. My basil is short and really annoying me. I am zone 4a Northern Maine. Super cool spring. Had a frost advisory on June 18th.
Hi Nicole,
Always enjoy watching your flower you give very good information, Yes aphids are the worst I had them in my plant room in the winter. I mixed everything that I could Neem Oil, Dawn, Nothing killed them all. I grow flowers for my yard so I don't have to buy them at the garden center. I grew Snapdragons, petunias, marigolds, zinnias, and dahlias . Yes everything this year for me too seem to be smaller my tomatoes and peppers too. I have grown Giant Marigolds a few of them are two feet tall. My sunflowers were new kinds I never grew they seem to be growing slowly. But in a week when I planted them in the grown they doubled in size. This year to me seems to be colder at night. Im in OHIO zone 6.
I love your flowers, but I really love your veggie garden! Great job!
Thank you! Me too 🥰
Hahaha. That was me with my super 100. I also waited so long!!!
Garden without any weeds is like a stove top without stains, looks staged!
Sometimes, I clip off an aphid- infested branch and throw it away, especially if the aphids are mostly concentrated on that branch.
Good idea!
Cucumbers are one of my loves too. Cucumber salad, cucumbers taking the place of lettuce in BLT's, California Roll cucumber salad is really good too, especially with a squirt of the spicy sauce (mayo & siracha). I've only had 2 cherry tomatoes (Sweet Aperitif) so far this year. So worth the wait. Would have been sooner but the stupid hail storms took out a lot of my plants and seedlings. Cannot wait for tomato sandwiches with a big, juicy, warm from the sun, slices of tomatoes. Yum!
Mmmmmm all of these things! Yum
Your Snapdragons probably don't require the netting because it looks like they are quite a bit out in the open, so they can get equal amounts of sun throughout the entire day. Lucky you... if you don't need it, don't use it. They look spectacular and I'm jealous! My teeny weeny small space garden got a really late start this year because the hubby was trying to make it a raised bed for me, but there were some delays. I'm still hopeful of planting a couple things right now in pots.
Cucumber and tomatoes soup is delicious.
Love your "bloopers" 😍
Voles. They got my beans too. They just cut the tops off, I don’t think they even eat it. Leave your bean plants alone and they usually regrow.
Could be! They were chewed off about 8 inches off the ground, leaving the first beans alone. Hopefully they grow back!
My ProCut Gold Lites (seeds from GeoSeed) were the right height, but most of them produced side shoots with the cutest little daisy-like mini flowers. 🤷🏻♀️
The last couple years some of my pro cuts have had baby side buds. They are very cute! The shortness is definitely because of our bizarre weather this season. All of my sunnies are much shorter!
My sunflowers are also very short! Zone 7b
I was freaking out thought I did something wrong. They are also a week or two behind where they should be
Same boat as you Claudette! Being the 1st time I had planted procuts I too was freaking out. I planted a few varieties that were all 50-55 day to maturity. So far 2 out of the 4 types have bloomed but the others are at least 2 weeks behind. Just over here flying by the seat of my pants.
So relieved to hear this! My sunflowers are very much shorter and smaller. I'm in zone 6b.
About 5 varieties and all are short, even the Pike's Peak, which should get to 15 ft. (They are 3 feet, except one, which is about 7' so far)
Omg 😲 omg 😲 I need tulips 🤭😇
I have thrips all over my snaps!! I'm so sad. Have you ever had that happen? It seems the white ones are the worst.
Love to have your sauce recipe
“Getting to know you” 😂😂😂
Couldn't find your link to the snapdragon variety video.
Lucky ducky, here in Oklahoma we haven't had rain in over a month and today it's 111 degrees with many more 100 plus days to come and no rain in sight.
It's here! czcams.com/video/9-zP6x4Wj10/video.html
It pops up on the screen when I mention it, but it's also available at the link above! We definitely needed rain- it is VERY dry this season! Hope you get some soon
What in the world are all those white bugs flying all around you. They would drive me nuts, I was so worried one of them was going to get in your mouth while you were talking about the snapdragons, lol.
Gorgeous plants! I am coming to raid your tomatoes! I just moved and don't have any right now!
Thank you! I can’t wait to eat them 🍅
@@FlowerHillFarm I bet! Get the slig and throw one my way🤗😉
Slowly but surely
My sunflowers are short too! Weather being too hot?
What is your favorite cucumber for fresh eating?
🤣🤣🤣 I love you. Lmao
Yup, my sunflowers are shorter and my tomatoes are slow to ripen.
I love this channel! Where do you get your great shirts from?
The shirt I’m wearing here I designed myself. There’s a link in the description 💐
I bought 2 beautiful bouquets of snapdragons at my local farmers market and after 2 days they smelled SO bad I had to throw them out! I was so disappointed as they were beautiful. I wonder if there are some varieties that smell nice?
Sometimes if flowers have a bad smell it's from bacteria in the water. Maybe try switching the water? Otherwise I'm not sure!
Hi - will you have gladiolus in August? thanks
Help, please! I'm a grower - but I want to add cut flowers here in 4b Ontario. I ordered Dr A's book, and would love Lisa Mason Ziegler's but am having a hard time getting it shipped to Canada. My question is, should I join ASCFG?
Hi Nicole How do you control the squash vine borer on your squash? I always get them. I really enjoy your videos.
They usually claim a few of my plants by the end of August. I haven’t seen any of the moths yet but I’m keeping an eye out! I do check the bottom of the stems for signs of damage when I walk through.
When are they being shipped ? I’ve paid last month . I can’t wait , they will be beautiful!
In the fall when it’s time to plant 🌱
Thank you 😊
what is the benefit of closing the cabbage heads?
Have you finally converted Veda into a tomato sandwich fan?😉
Yup!
Question on snapdragons, I started them from seed for the first time this year ( a chantily mix). I cut them with one to three blooms were open and could see there beautiful pink color. But everything that opened after the stem was in the bouquet was totally white. Is that normal? Anything I can do to help the rest of the flowers come true to color?
Hi! Love your work, thank you for sharing. I bought First Lady (Mixed Colors) Snapdragon seeds and was highly disappointed with them (I will never tell them that, I do love them to bits) because they grew very small (10 inches was my longest stem with them averaging ~7 inches) and I have to watch them like a hawk in the July, Texas heat (Zone 9a). Do you have any recommendations for variety/seed for me to grown in my hot, Texas 9a zone? I have not tried Johnny's Snapdragon seed but would be willing to try anything to get blooms your size for my bouquets! Any advice is appreciated (I do watery my snapdragons regularly)
😂🤣😂🤣 "😝 no, not good"!
You can just bend one leaf over the cauliflower
Why are the sunflowers two feet short? Do you know? I've noticed some oddities in my garden here in Georgia as well.
I think it's just weather related. We've had very little rain and drastic swings in temperatures. Very hot and then very cold.
I do not think the aphid hits are a matter of luck. Many aphids are specific to plants and even varieties. I am sure you know this but many people think they are a general infestation.❤️
I just mean the aphids have not spread to the other identical plants right next to the infested one. There are 8 and the bugs are only on the one. To me that's lucky! Most of the aphids in my garden this year are on the weeds (lambs quarter).
I was going to order but you only ship within USA... bummer. ☹️ Sad Canadian Flower Friend here...
Hi! I'm not the one shipping, but yes- the supplier is a small business and doesn't have the capabilities to ship international at this time. So sorry! I know Canada has wonderful bulb suppliers!
It’s okay., I’m just whining. Love you. ❤️🌱 Keep growing.💐🌱
I'm sorry for my confusion but I have a question about the tulip order. On the form it shows shows a picture of a flower and asks for our name. Does the collection come with a mix of each of the varieties or do we only have an option for a certain quantity of just 1 type? Could we get a mix of all of them?
Those are just images that go along with each question. The actual order is placed below. No worries!
Yes, you get a mix.
I see it now. Big 'duh' moment for me. Thank you for the clarifications. 😁👍🏽🌱
Question: why don’t you lay weed mat and peg it down between rows? Some rows look a great size for it? I hate weeding and my goal this year (it’s winter in Australia at present) is to lay as much weed mat down as possible 😄
It works great, but if you leave it down for more than one year at a time, dirt blows onto it and weed seeds and they grow down through. Weeds also grow up through if it stays in place for a while. It’s a blessing and a curse!
I would assume when the beds are finished with at the end of the season all row and weed mat would be removed to till and add compost and things? I have a runner type grass and am hoping dearly the weed mat in the centre helps 😳
@@glenelkenfarm5577 I have that type of grass too. It’s the worst! Yes, the weed fabric helps, but I would recommend taking it up for the winter and then amending and tilling before you put it back down. Living Traditions Homestead has a lot of videos about it.
It’s not a bad idea. I have a LOT of space to cover and it would be expensive for the fabric. (I have THIRTY 100 foot rows total). The plan is always to mow between the rows but I always fall behind!
@@FlowerHillFarm Just like everyone else! No shame.
HAHA last scene meh its not good, I died laughing too hard at that... I am in zone 5b and waiting for things to get ripe as well
Hello and welcome and how are you 💏💏💏✌💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌷🌶🌵🌼🐫🍎🍅🍆NICOLE
Working your bulbs off....
🤣
Am I the only one who is over madame butterfly this year? They’re too frageelay!
I just said the same thing about Chantilly ones
Captain Jack's Dead Bug is no good for Aphids.
Yea, I don't really use it on my veggies- just flowers!
It’s still delicious… urg! No. Lol
Jesus Christ is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come be saved eternally and spend time with Him to know Him. Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need.
🕊️💕Live righteous and Holy because He said to and paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen hallelujah praise God thank you Jesus . 🙏
I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor, grace and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏
Jesus, Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love and to obey Your truth. That they are living in the truth being taught by You. That they know Your voice and word. Knowing truth from errors, discernment. 💕
We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Jesus should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Jesus for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 🔥
2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 💖
People need to turn from their wicked ways, Jesus paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. We live in obedience to His law, every word if it! He dwells within us all to be with and lead us in His ways. 💕🙏
Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Stop sinning you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus name may you see and know the truth in it's fullness.
Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
He's worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said.
Jesus said If you love me you will obey my commands. Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. 💖🔥🕊️🙏
Praise God 🕊️🔥 Hallelujah Jesus🙏💖
InJesus powerful name🙏🔥🕊️ 💖
