It's nice seeing you enjoying gardening and life again.
I love that you sing to your plants babies! My mom grew the most beautiful flowers, and she told me when I was little that you have to talk to them. I am following her directions every day. But it is probably a good thing that no one sees me doing it.
I enjoy watching you so much! You make me smile!❤
I love that you show the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly😩😉. Makes me feel like less of a slacker. Love you guys.
My mums come back every year. I'm zone 6. We were zone 5 for centuries in Northern Utah and only changed to 6b a few years back. They've always come back as far as I can remember.

I love seeing the flowers come back. Gives one a little hope for spring.
I think people like you, and I mean that in a good way, get so much done because you can handle things being less than perfect and just keep on rolling.
Nicole i love watching ur videos, u have a great personality and way with life its affectious. Love how ur so passionate about everything garden/flower related. Keep up the good work.😊
Yep, I hug my ranunculus too!
The strangest winter!
How cute is it that she sings to the plants, i do that too haha. I sing or play Edelweiss to my plants. I like to practice playng the kalimba in the yard. Between me and the house across the street where a music teacher does home lessons, my gardens hear a lot of live performances 😅 I even know how to play Fresh Fallen Snow (the theme song to this channel).
my kids and I sing Little Bird, Fly Through My Window to our baby chicks too.
Also im so glad your mums grew back! They are amazing cut flowers and ro have some that regrow for you is a blessing indeed. I have a gorgeous dark cranberry red mum that my husband picked out for me five years ago, when i was pregnant with our daughter. It's still going strong. Dies back and re grows every year. Its one of my favorites.
Bring snow in, let it melt. More snow, more melt. = watered :)
Put a couple sprinklers in your hoop house 😊
Yes, you will get it done, you always do! Enjoying the updates.
I live in middle left side of Michigan about hour from Lake Michigan. On February 12 th my tulips was up about 4 inches. Crazy winter we have had here. I love watching your videos. So nice seeing green in the hoop house. You got this girl...
You will get the hoophouse all cleaned up. It will be fine!
I love how your Chrysanthemums did not die! I live in eastern ON, Canada and I have been growing the large bloom Chrysanthemums for about 7 yrs. This past spring, some rizomes survived that winter. I cleaned that garden all up, in the autumn, so was really surprised to have about 12 plants grow up. I have had the odd one survive, but mostly I take mine all in and do cuttings. That is great!
We had a wired weather here in north georgia zone 8, so many freezing temps and heat and repeat! Blessings!
Here in northeast PA it's the same. We tilled our garde no the other day!
Maybe add some worm castings to the powder/dirt to help with the soil microbiome?
Love seeing your beautiful face ❤❤❤
Such a beautiful blue eyes!
Probably roll up the sides of the plastic for a bit of snow and moisture during winter 👸🏽🫶🏽
HI NICOLE
IM with you I'm in Ohio zone six, crazy winter weather. Up till we had the 5 degrees my snapdragons were still growing. I grow a window box just for seed. You give us all such good helpful information. I grow for fun. Will say I love my hearty hibiscus, experimenting with amaryllis bulbs have them still in the refrigerator. Have a window box of seedlings.
To get your soil to to accept moisture more readily, try using baby shampoo. It's environmentally safe and will make the soil less hydrophobic. You can mix the shampoo with some water into a hose-end sprayer and spray the area. Then follow up with about 1/4 inch of water.
We've seen that film before re: hoop house! We have snow here either and it been above freezing for 2 weeks...and we're in Minnesota!
Love your humor at the start, I needed that. Last video you talked about ranuculous and I realized the sprouts I have in the house are calla lilies...not sure where ranuculous went, don't hardly care at this point. Love when you keep it real. 49o sunny today in IL, scared my fruit trees will get hammered again this year.
I'm in Serbia, we had three weeks of extremely warm weather. It's been pushing up to 20 C, and above freezing even in early mornings. Half of my 80 winter-sown water jugs germinated. And yes, I am a megalomaniac.
Those weeds are protection.. farmers cover crop press it down and plant right in them. I can send you a link. The benefits are crazy... I'm going to try it next fall in some areas.
I’m in central Minnesota and you described our winter so far. I’m 68 years old and have NEVER experienced such a winter. My grandchildren think that winter is over. But I tell them March is USUALLY the snowiest month of the year. I LOVE your channel. It’s like living my younger nursery/greenhouse life all over again!😊❤️
So fun but for moisture i just put a ton of snow in the hoophouse and just let it mlet but you do not have snow so hose is just might better than wait for snow.
I get the grass on the side of your green house, mine has it too! But I can’t roll up the sides and burn mine, I don’t want to put any kind of grass killer in it so I think for me, it will be cutting or pulling- on my knees! Love you girl! Hugs from Texas!
I live in 5 b and have had mums come up several years in a row. But a cold winter will kill them. -16 below.
This winter has been so weird but woohoo for returning plants!
Thanks for your silliness and your little song at the end. My grandma used to sing that song to us when we were itty bitty.
❤️
My Gramdma sung the “Bushel and a Peck” song too. 💞Good memories.💐
I am so excited to have found your channel - I live in Bridgeport, NY (Central NY) I love Floret's and Garden Answers and my favorite grower is Proven Winners...I am in the process of planning my garden. My dream is have a small cut flower business...looking so forward to following you
Yes, it's a very weird winter, for sure. Now, with burning the weeds. Won't that spread the weed seeds? Maybe cut back the tops, then burn. Anyhow, thank you for sharing. Always great content. Have a wonderful day 😊
So fun that the feverfew & mums are coming back!
Very exciting. Love those early freebies. That's what you have been working towards. Singing definitely spurs growth.
Please wait until the night temperature is steadily above 45° or greater to cut the dead geranium stalks. Mine come back each year doing it that way. As for the weeds, I would be very careful using a torch close to the hoop house lining. The flames may reach up and burn them. I would raise the side of the hoop house lining and weed wack the hell out of it. Then, dig them out and fill in the trench with gravel. Also, you can line up the trench with a weed barrier like the one you use to plant before putting gravel on top.
You have lots to do. I hope you get some help!! Keep that spirit going!! 👍🥰🌱
The mums are alive!!! Lol
It's been AWESOME!!!! Only wish it would be the END of our winter lol. 53581
Great news for the hoop house, Nicole. Early blooms are a good thing. Ranunculus! Wow! Amazing.
Wow a lot of beautifull plants coming❤❤❤
We have a product here in Australia called “Wet A Soil” and it comes in granular or liquid form and you put it into a hydrophobic soil and it brings it back to beautiful planting soil. Do you have that in the States? Can you spray your weeds?
Also, I love the ADK and I love that you are close to me. Do you have a garden store?
Yes, we do. It's in Boonville.
Hi Nicole, I agree it has been a mild winter so I hope the bugs don’t come back with a vengeance! Trying to more companion planting this year to protect the flowers I am wanting for bouquets. Looking forward to seeing your beautiful garden in a few months 💖
That so exciting!!!! Time saving and money saving, congrats
❤
It is warm and snowless in Minnesota as well. Also warmer than a typical winter for us.
أحسنتي عملا
Thanks, Nicole!
I love ranunculus! 🌹
I love that you have some 'Nuncs coming back! I'm in high desert Colorado, zone 7a. We've had ridiculous temps as well. I left my lisianthus in the beds, and they are putting on new green as well!! Not sure if they'll survive, as we're supposed to get colder temps too. But exciting nonetheless. I love your videos and have a similar approach to what i can realistically put my energy into. So thank you for your honesty, your cool farm, and all around happiness you display! Much love 💕
NW Ohio We had a week of 50's and 60's last week. All our spring flowers are popping up. It's closer to normal though this week. I guess enjoy the warm while it's here. 😂
We had Hyacinth and Daffodils coming up in January, then a very hard freeze, so may of them were horribly burnt. Many more, including tulips, are really coming up now, so my fingers and toes are crossed.
39 degrees and no snow here in SE Minnesota! Not our usual for February.
My daffs have been peeking thru the ground since November - they are so confused! But they are green and just fine. I'm Zone 5A and we have had temps down to -20 and snow.
i wont cauz problema for daffodil... we get normally -20 celscius .. we didnt get that this year in montreal.. and yes its true lot less snow.. but thats not the 1st time... and this is why we should pit our dead leaves as mulch. when i see all the brown bags in the fall to be pick up... should be done in the spring.
I realize you do not care for chemicals, however spraying along the inside and outside edge of your hoop house would help you in the long run, and save your plastic. I would use the whipper snipper on the feverfew!
Love seeing your contagious excitement over this year’s plans for your cut flowers. 💐 🌺 🌸 Just wondering if you could roll up the sides of the hoop house when you’re expecting a little bit of rain or a light snow to help moisten the soil…?
I’m curious if planting a cover crop after you pull your flowers and just letting it do it’s thing until the following spring would help with the super dusty dry dirt and also the weeds? It would definitely benefit the soil, but would it solve these 2 problems for you next year?
Hi Nicole. Hurry! Water the plants in the hoop house. Your heirloom mums look really thirsty.
I am in zone 7a (outside Phila) and today we got some cold winds around the 30F degree level. But last week it was close to 60! What do you put in your garden for compost?
❤❤❤❤❤

I know you covered this in a different video but of course because I am looking for it I can't find it. I would like to know what kind of weed fabric you are using. I don't have a hoop house, I do have an area I would like to garden in, but I know from previous experience I will have a massive battle with weeds in that spot. So I thought I would try a weed barrier, but have no idea what kind to get.
😻😻
Where can I get Heirloom Mum seed ?? ❤😊
I’ve tried larkspur for 3 seasons. I get sprouts then nothing 😢
Greetings from Ukraine!
Nicole, please answer the question about the device that turned your shed into a cooler.
Who is the manufacturer and where can you buy it?
I have friends in the USA who can buy it and bring it to me.
I really like watching your videos. Your bouquets are beautiful. Thank you for them.
Sorry for my English.
Sincerely, Larisa
It’s called a CoolBot and it looks like you can get them from Johnny’s Seeds, but they’re quite expensive.
Your English is perfect.
I am so grateful to you@@cynthiafisher9907
and a barrel and a heap, a barrel and a heap and I'm talking in my sleep about you.......
Be Very Careful Burning Weeds, it will melt ur plastic, even on top from heat, ask me how I Know 😢😂
Stupid question if a seedling tray is half dry and the other half isn't should i bottom water or overhead water the ones that are just dry?
Sometimes I'll just water really dry rows but I usually bottom water regardless (sometimes I'll tip the tray in the direction of the dry seeds)
That's not a stupid question! It's a smart question to ask, because you can't seek knowledge without asking! I know Nicole already replied, and I agree I find that bottom watering is good and it's what I usually do, but a spray bottle is also handy to spray the top if things are only a little dry. it's gentle enough to water without dislodging the seeds or knock down baby plants.
Be careful not to take too much on…
