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!

[@anitaswart.]

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.

[@jwright7948]

I could have cried when I saw you posted a new video! I needed this today... i started homeschooling 5 of my school aged kids and my brain hurts and heart hurts a bit as I transition my time from gardens and canning to school lessons. Drinking a second cup of coffee while watching your flowers with a thankful heart now!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

You got this! I'm so glad I took the time to check in with you all last night. My days get so rushed (sounds like you know what I mean) that I usually only have time to do a video on my days off but I really feel the need to connect with you guys more!

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!

[@karie3]

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 😁

Stumbled onto your Flower Farm site just recently. Love your contagious ramblings, stopping to say something to your husband or daughter, and then you turn back to the camera, and without missing a beat, continue right on! My Amaranthus self seeds! (I am across the border in ON) and if I wanted to I could easily have 300 plants, instead I saved 3. I think mine is the same as yours. You will have lots of these plants next year! Thank you for posting and for sharing your information so graciously and generously! ♥️🇨🇦

[@younglee3285]

Yay fellow Canadian! I’m in Ontario too! 🌺

[@janetcorrao5072]

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]

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!!!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Great advice! Thank you!

[@vilmataduyo8347]

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.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Oh wow! So interesting! Thanks

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.

Lilies in the house - I'm thinking of those large chicken wire, or screen Cloche thingies. They are bell shaped, and some can be quite decorative. You can use it cover the entire vase and bouquet of Lilies, and that way they are safe to have in the house! "Room Perfume" CAN be Yours!!!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Wow those are great ideas! I definitely like where this is headed

[@gardengatesopen]

@@FlowerHillFarm - how about we think up a new name for the Cloche while we're at it?! It's just such a weird word... I think it's French, or something, right? Well anyway, I haven't had enough coffee yet today to even BEGIN naming things, so... yeah, that'll have to wait... Bcuz I'll tell you right now the only thing I can think of is - The Lilly Cage. Obviously when I say THAT out loud there's only one response, which is - the sound of crickets. And then even the crickets fall silent. Anyway - I'm thinkin you should rename the Cloche. ♡
