Bouquet Building : Flowers from Gina : Where's Brad Pitt? : Lupini Beans with Grampa

Hi Flower Friends! So many adventures to fill you in on! Enjoy :)
Today I'm picking up a harvest from another local grower (Gina) to share in the flower world! My grandfather is overwhelmed at the love from the last video so I posted a behind the scenes video of him making Lupini Beans here!

You have no idea how much your videos have touches people's lives, at least mine. On a good day, your videos with your contagious goofy happy-go-lucky personality plus beautiful colorful flowers makes my day even happier; on a bad day, such as after having an argument with the other only breathing living creature in our household aka my husband, your videos are my hideaway heaven. Especially nowadays that everyone is distancing themselves from each other, I can't just call up a friend to go hang out and be away from the house, so I watched your videos and then all clouds are gone from my head. So just want to say thank you

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I'm crying 😭💐🥰 you're too kind. You keep me going. A million thanks 😭🥰

[@kimberlygreidanus5639]

I was thinking the same thing...these videos with your flowers, personality, and wit brightens all of our days!! It's raining, windy and these sure make me excited to get out in the gardens Thanks so much for sharing with us all!! Bless you

[@adunn5173]

Nicole, you’re adorable. I love the singing, the humming and whistling, and all your fun antics. I love growing cut flowers and making bouquets. And I love watching the making of them. Thanks for all the smiles and laughs. Your grandfather is smiling in heaven. ❤

[@snowwhite5196]

So nice to see the video of grandpa at the end. I somehow missed this video when it was first posted. Glad you have this beautiful moment with your grandpa to look back on. Grandparents are the best! ❤

[@LINativePlantConservation]

its really touching that you customized that coral bouqet for Lily. Words cant even describe how beautiful you an your flowers are

[@dottiesworld979]

Girl that purple Lisianthus has me SCREAMING 😍😍😍

[@tracyhillman]

Love your grandpa!

[@Angela410R]

Your grandpa is absolutely delightful❣ I have a friend that has been wondering how to prepare those beans and considering that she grows them that's the problem😂 truly she does grow them and does not know how to prepare them. I'm going to forward her to your KZbin channel and your grandpa and allow him to teach her exactly how to prepare those beans. Would you tell your Grandpa thank you very much because he has taught a lot of people how to prepare those beings. And now we all know how delicious that they look and they can taste. Thank you so much for sharing your grandpa with the rest of the world. Hugs and kisses Grandpa and GiGi the two of you have made our day🤗💕

[@tinasmallwood4958]

Love your grandpa!!! I’ve never tasted those beans but I’d like too. Thanks for sharing.

[@jwright7948]

The first and peachy coral bouquets.... I can't even... perfection.

[@BayonneHockeygirl19]

You are the best!!

[@bobmariano3731]

Lol Love the T-Shirt 👍😘🌺🌼🌻

[@TheEldersHomestead]

I know this was a year ago, but your love of flowers, gets me excited to grow cuts as well. And that lisianthis, is stunning. Im hoping I can grow some this year.

[@christinekayrhine6161]

What a precious man, Grandpa Gabriel is. 💖 Just found your channel a few days ago, and I can’t stop watching.

[@mrsstacytaylor]

I love your grandpa! He’s wonderful!! 💕

[@evemaewill4]

I love watching you put the flowers together, It’s just not content I have really found out there? So beautiful!

Beautiful bouquets and adorable grandfather!

[@pennyemery3286]

I love how aware you are of the animals and birds that around you and how you respect and enjoy them.

[@suwyandot330]

You are a joy and fun to watch! Thanks for brightening a rainy day.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thank you so much! ☀️

[@christjananichols9608]

Wow, those flowers are gorgeous! How fun, putting all the bouquets together. The face expressions you make when you are done with each or when you find the perfect flower...so fun! Inspiring me to one day have a garden full of cut flowers to enjoy.

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Thats awesome about your grandpa! My grandma and grandpa, and dad, passed before I was 9... so treasure your time with them!

[@DeRicha762]

I love watching how much joy you are getting out of arranging your bouquets ☺

[@nataliedonaldson776]

The yellow on the gomphrena is actually the flowers. The pink (white, purple, etc.) colored part is called the Globose head. And, is made up of bracts. Modified leaves that are usually brighter than the actual flower. Like in poinsettias. There is my nerd contribution for the day. 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓 Keep up the good work.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

🤯🤯🤯

[@FlowerHillFarm]

This is so interesting! Thank you 💐

[@amandabispo2949]

Lupini beans are fantastic! I had never actually heard of them until last year when my husband's family sent him home with some. His family is Portuguese and they were raised on them. I want to learn how to make them myself...I have Lupine seed that I have never planted. Totally love your Grandpa...he has an amazing spirit that comes through so clearly.

[@emilypalmer1244]

not even two minutes into this video and im smiling from ear to ear,,🥰 love and cherish your videos, good health to you and your beautiful family!!♥ Always love seeing you upload

[@T3103N]

Omg is exactly what I yelled out when he started talking, he's so great

[@FlowerHillFarm]

He's the best!

[@phatcher25]

I enjoy watching others make bouquets. Good use of complimentary colors today!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thank you! I'm learning every week 🌻💐🥰

[@dottiesworld979]

Omg I need that shirt, my love works for Ball 😂😂😂😂😂

[@dianep2691]

Love the lime yellow white combination 💛 😍

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Me too! So much 💐

[@elliestell2696]

Your bouquets were absolutely beautiful and the trunk of Gina‘s car was oh wow

[@evemaewill4]

There is so much structure in the glads and sunflowers, those little flowers bobbing about (maybe gomphrena?) really change the look and soften those bouquets, so pretty!

[@kimmurphy6864]

I love the Roseann Brown. And the coral bouquet is my favorite 💕

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thanks Kim!

[@TheGrowingGardensGal]

I loved this video! The purple and orange and sunflower bouquet. Omg! Love it!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Yay! Thank you!

[@keishas.2919]

Your grampa is precious! I miss mine. I need those beans in my life. The flowers are beautiful! I think if I was in your csa I would just want a surprise bouquet, each week I get what I get! Fantastic!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

The beans are ADDICTIVE. So good!

[@maikes8997]

Yayyy another video! All those flowers and you make me smile from ear to ear! And I just love your intros with the music- it is so calming 💚. I totally understand Brad Pitt not wanting to be filmed 😂 I’m the same. .... And „hey Veda, what a great smile!“ .... greetings from Germany 👋🏻

[@karikesti8629]

I discovered your channel last night and I think you already might be my favorite person on the internet. Awesome flowers too!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thanks!!

Really loved the add on with your grandpa at the end! He reminds me lots of mine, miss him very much. Mine (french canadian-looked italian and was always singing in italian like your grandpa was doing at the start. Thank you for this sentimental moment xox

[@sharongeorge4096]

Flowers are gorgeous, you’re a ball of fun but that shirt takes center stage!! 😂😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@ElderandOakFarm]

That 2nd bouquet you made is stunning! & I love the coral one!

LOVE the bouquet !!! Major LOVE

[@mrs.riche3939]

I ❤ your Grandpa!!!

You're so lucky to have a grandpa like that! Also . . I had to have that t shirt and just found it online 😁

[@teresasuderman2199]

I love how excited you get about how beautiful the flowers are. You're just so adorable! Love your videos!

[@dc0145a]

BBBBeautiful bouquets Love those lisianthus blooms Where's Brad ;) Fresh tomato sandwich -Hope it was one from your garden. Thoroughly enjoyed the Lupini beans with grandpa. Sending love to Grandpa from NH. Grandpa needs his own channel. :) My dad is in the kitchen at this minute canning bread n butter pickles and sweet relish. Grab Your Balls lol

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Yes! Definitely a homegrown tomato 🥰🍅💐

[@Katsimagination21]

That bouquet should have strawberries in it !!! ❤️

[@cgeorge8338]

Beautiful flowers! I love, love, love the ageratum!

[@meandmysunshine1]

Thank you so much! Loved "helping" you put together the bouquets...haha! I am learning so much from you! You are so sweet and I love your fantastic, outgoing personality! You are doing a great job!

[@bloomandco.designworks3869]

I have the same shirt! Yesss!!! I’ve never seen anyone else with it! So awesome. ❤️

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I love it!

[@jessicaeiss2541]

Nicole, this was a great video. Those champagne lisianthus and bouquet were beautiful for Lilly. I think that was my favorite. I want to thank you for having soft background music that isn't competing with you speaking in your video too. Too many people add music that's much too loud, and this was just really nice to listen to. I had an idea while watching your video, and then saw your one vase at the end with the bouquet in it, is to maybe talk about vase size and necks for holding the glads and sunflowers, but you did say to keep them rubberbanded.

[@taniabudge5418]

Your grandfather is adorable!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I agree! 💕

[@alexf7934]

Omg. I identify with your expressions to. the. core. Love it. Thanks for the entertainment and education :) Super looking forward to starting my own cut flower garden this summer (In upstate NY too!)

[@gardengirl7446]

Sarah Raven uses a recipe that likens bouquets and arrangements to a wedding in that each bouquet needs a focal flower like sunflower, dahlia or lily = The Bride, Lacy flower like ammi or feverfew = her veil, spikes like snapdragons = the groom and groomsmen, Zinnias and other discs in same or contrasting color = bridesmaids, funky bits like berries, plumes and seed pods = the crazy uncle, and surrounding them all, greens like basil = the church

[@gardengirl7446]

I'm sure you've seen Floret Erin's summer mini course where she makes bouquets at lightening speed? After watching that it's hard to watch anyone else do it because it seems soooooo slow....but you are a nice relaxing alternative! ❤

[@FlowerHillFarm]

It’s a much different process- that’s for sure.

[@kirrageorgeson5473]

Wow you are so Passionate!!! I’m just getting my flower and herb market garden started here in northern NSW Australia and you have given me so much inspiration!!! I hope you continue to make videos like this because I will definitely be watching them all!!!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

You can do it! Thank you so much, I plan to continue.

[@kimmurphy6864]

The Italians are passionate 💕

[@melissafredsall1031]

Gorgeous bouquets! That orange/yellow/purple though - my favorite! Enjoyed the lupini beans video - learned something new. Thank you for sharing it!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thank you! 💐🥰

[@betweber266]

First time watching u glad u got off swing (dizzy )lol. Love the flowers .i never grow glads but love them.going to look in on u again fun .

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Hi! Sorry about the dizzy 😂 Glads are so awesome. So many color options! 💐

[@janicewoods3072]

Your shirt is hilarious! I think it's hilarious that your husband's name is Brad Pitt and he is so opposed to being on the camera. Your grandpa loves your flowers, he was so cute. Every flower you show makes me want to get into my yard and start planting. I love your videos.

[@maikes8997]

Hey Grandpa Gabe 👋🏻 I hate beans, but I would try yours!!!

[@jackturner4917]

New subscriber here. Watched a bunch of your videos recently. Great content done in a fun way!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Hi, Jake! Thanks so much 💐

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Do you ever do lives? I think a live video would be great where you ask people "should I do this one", etc.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

😂 I'm doing one next Sunday. Announcing it today. It's a Q&A though

[@canadiangirl5159]

My cat loves hair elastics too. Her food and water dishes are usually full of them, as she takes mine off of my bathroom counter, until none are left. Yes, when I can't find any, I have had to take one out of her water dish so I can use it. (I wash it first of course)

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Not gonna lie- I regularly dig them out of her dish! lol

[@CarolineJensen]

Oh my goodness! Your cat looks just like mine! ...and I just committed to starting a flower farm. Thank you for the keeping-it-real inspiration! ❤️

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Awesome! 💐🐱 you're welcome 🌻

[@annedwards358]

hat: so cute!!

[@sktn61]

That was so fun to watch, I love all your videos, and those lisianthus (fainting!) I must find the secret to growing them!😍 Your grandpa is a NATURAL in front of the camera ( I was watching the tv in the background, looked like Andy Griffith 😁)

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Aw, thank you! The lissies are a MUST. I need more. I'm pretty sure it was Andy....they always have this channel on with old sitcoms. Feels so cozy. I wish people could smell their kitchen. It's one of my favorite smells.

[@amoore0713]

I ordered that shirt from an add on Insta a few months ago! Anway, your flowers are beautiful!

[@KJ-cp4bo]

That was fun! Beautiful flowers. Love your sunflowers & bouquets. Could you ask Veda to talk about how she grows her lisianthus? I haven't been game to try them yet. Grandpa Gabe, love your work!

[@kreativelykinya]

Okay, yours is the new YT channel that dominates my feed/playlist and plays in the background while I’m asleep. 😂 I’m learning so much about flowers that I never knew about. Girl!! Those lisianthus.......SWOON!! Where have they been all of my 46 years?!?!?! I’ll order seeds to try for next year. My patio container garden is going to be maxed for this this growing season and the seeds I’ve already started. I thought I was excited about getting carnation seeds (my favorite grocery store affordable for my budget and exquisitely gorgeous flower for when I want to treat myself) but I had no idea that they are supposed to have a scent!! So I’m growing them to experience their scent. I’ll have to give glads and scabiosa a try too. All of your arrangements are so fetching! Girl, how do you get any work done? I’d be fired because I’d rather spend time with the flowers. Until I saw a snake and then I’d get over it. 🤣

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I can not wait to smell those carnations again!

[@mamatriedhomestead8598]

Just came across your channel (from You Can't Eat The Grass) and I've been bingeing ALL day. I love your enthusiasm

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Awesome! Thank you! I am a HUGE veggie grower (my first love)-- I just really haven't made videos about them. I've had some requests so I probably will this year. I have a ton of veggie footage from this past season that I can compile when I talk about my veggie seed stash for this year! I'm so glad you're here! The segment I did for my local TV station this year was mostly veggies. Those beans are called "lupini" beans and you can usually find them in the dried form. Have a great night!

[@mamatriedhomestead8598]

@@FlowerHillFarm oh goodie! I look forward to the veggie seed video. I thought the name of the dish was lupini, ha! I've never come across that variety here. Dried beans are a staple for us southerners so I'm frequently buying them to add to my stash. Maybe it's a regional thing?

[@FlowerHillFarm]

They are not commonly found in stores. There is an Italian Market near us that sells them. You can also buy them online!

[@NatalyaBerezneva]

So gorgeous so I’m speechless, just making noises like you: Waw, ohh, whooo:) Where Gina gets her Luisiantus seeds from? I really want to grow them. Thank you.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Right?! Gina orders from Geo!

[@CottageGardensonForest]

I read that on the procut and other hybrid sunflowers that there could be some that varied in either color or form. Do you think that might be what your non planted varieties are? I wasn’t able to successfully grow lisianthus and I only tried after watching you so I think I’ll try again. I love the color of that Roseann Brown!

Love Grandpa & his lupini beans. Never heard of them but eager to try 'em. (He might enjoy watching "Gina, Italian Grandma cooks" in NJ).Tell me, do u have to add support to your beautiful glads? Also, do u know the variety of the bright orange celosia?

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Hi! I'll pass that on! Thank you 😊 I used hortinova netting on my glads. I grew a celosia mix so I'm not sure the variety!

[@colliecoform4854]

Just found your channel a few weeks ago and have been binge watching since then. Had to order more seeds immediately after your first video! One comment. Are you right off the Northway? Thru way? I use to go up to Saranac Lake and Plattsburgh a lot. Seems like a major highway for that amount t of road noise up there

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Nope, it's a state highway. The road noise improved when I got a better microphone. Sometimes traffic is slow, sometimes not so much!

[@colliecoform4854]

@@FlowerHillFarm Wasn't complaining and the mike probably amplifies it. I'm away from any highways these days but our road noise has gotten horrendous with the increased population.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I only sell with a vase when it is requested. Everything else is just banded.

[@care7663]

You convinced me to grow lisianthus this year! (Well, I had never heard of them- I didn't really need convincing haha) I'm having trouble figuring out how early to start mine. We usually kind of skip spring. Our Temps in feb & mar are around 30-50 (during the day) & then by April we usually have Temps around 70-80 (but still have a couple nights that get to below freezing, usually just around 30 degrees though, not too cold... our last frost date is usually mid-late april) & then by may our Temps are 80-95. Idk if any of that information is of any use or has any affect on when I should start them, But could you give me any guidance? I know you're not a pro, so don't worry, I'm not going to get mad at you if what you say doesn't end up working! But I can't find any help on this! (I'll be starting then inside under really good grow lights)

[@lifeontheborderline1522]

Do you get seeds from your batches at all, or you buy new each season/year?

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Mostly buy new but looking forward to experimenting with seed saving!
