When I heard the news about Grandpa last year I sowed some Lupine seeds in his memory. The baby plants made it through winter and are popping up now. I am looking forward to seeing their blooms and I will think of both your Grandpa and my Grandad when I see them

[@carolynmarshall-nu5ob]

Your Grandpa was really special. In his memory, I'm binge watching your videos and letting ads run through to support your great channel.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Grandpa Gabriel is so proud of you. Now I'm singing Coleus....Coleus...

[@ilenehorowitz3060]

me too!!!

[@katrienvh4289]

I'm 49 and I lost all my grandparents before I was 6,5 years old, so I don't have many memories. But a lot of us thought about Big Gabe as "our" grandpa. He was such a sweetheart.

[@smellslikedirt525]

To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die.

[@altheab.8907]

I lost my grandfather when I was 11. I feel cheated that I did not get to know him as an adult. I’m 80 now….i still miss him. We were close. I miss your grandpa too. He was such a wonderful man. He became part of our extended families. He’s with you, for sure. Love and hugs to you, Nicole. 💕🌺

[@katemoore3787]

I love the name "The Big House." Keep Grandpa's memory alive, and his legacy lives on through y'all. Hugs ❤ coleus 🎶 coleus 🎶 coleus 🎶

[@klcpca]

Grandpa was so special to all of us... I miss him so I know you and your family miss him so very much. I believe he is with you every step of the way and is sooooo very proud of you! {{{{{HUGS}}}}} ❤❤❤

[@Bexab53]

The power I felt when you said that you feel him all the time. ❤❤❤ so powerful. Crying. Grandparents are blessings. Weren’t we lucky?

[@serenababy6358]

Just keep on singing 🎶 You & Grandpa were lucky to have had such a special relationship ❤️ 💖

[@denisefreese6166]

Oh my goodness. I am now singing that tune whenever I see my coleus or hear coleus. Love it. What a great memory. Thank you for sharing.

[@berlysblossomgardening2816]

You’re plants are beautiful and your grandpa is so proud of you ♥️🌺😊

[@michelebowermaster5373]

I was named after that song “ Michelle”. Love it.

[@courtneyrenegar4329]

Well, crying during a KZbin plant video wasn't on my to-do list for today, but here we are. Your story touched my grieving heart so hard tonight. I just lost my granddad on February 27....which is also my birthday. He had just turned 100 on Feb. 3rd. I'm so lucky to have had him in my life for so long, I just turned 45. He's the one who taught me how to grow vegetables and my love of the garden. Sharing our love for growing tomatoes was a way to keep us connected. I wish I could share his photo here. Love to you and your family, and I bet our granddad's are looking down on us smiling and chatting about plants. ❤️

[@lindsey4505]

My great grandma was ‘big grandma,’ (for so many reasons similar to how you talk of your grandpa) and my grandma was ‘little grandma.’ This is perfect. You are such a beautiful soul.

[@user-cp5ht1th6i]

I have the Coleus song stuck in my head love it il’ll be singing that tune when I plant those annuals. Thanks for sharing your Grandpa with us he was a special person.

[@kelbysmiles]

Love the name and the chipmunk serenade. The new camera view is so much fun. Thanks for taking us along.

[@jjbjjbh]

Brad and Nicole sitting on a tree. K-i-s-s-i-n-g ! That’s what This 68 year old grandma was singing watching you both. LOL. You guys were matching in orange today. What a sweet thoughtful tribute to The Big Guy Gabriel calling it The Big House. Also, that chartreuse coleus is a beauty. I always have potted chartreuse sweet potato vine on my porch. Makes everything look so vibrant and alive.

[@lisacourchaine9413]

I loved to see your kiss and hear you say “I appreciate you” to your husband. I just lost my husband who helped me a lot in my gardening tasks. Brad seems like a big help.

[@StormWarningMom]

I'm so sorry for your loss! I pray you find peace and comfort. 🙏

[@canadiangirl5159]

I had my grandparents into my late 40's early 50's, too. They lived to 99 and 98 years old. My oldest kids, who were old enough to know that they were lucky to have great grandparents, as so many of their classmates didn't even have grandparents any more. I've talked to my oldest daughter about how she dealt with them passing, and she reminded me of how when she was younger, how I would tell my kids to hug them while you got them, because we can't keep people. She said that helped her prepare for the inevitable. Live life with no regrets. I watched all of your grandpa videos. Always remember that you did hug him and he knew how much you loved him. Oh now I have tears and a lump in my throat. Gardening videos are so emotional.

[@DylanShumway-hs3mm]

The poem “When Great Trees Fall” by Maya Angelou has been a source of comfort for me in times of grief and your grandfather clearly was a great tree…

[@vivherman2296]

Of course,.. he's with you. Yes you were so blessed to have him. I never saw any of my grandparents very much..passed when I was in high school. You know he's gonna watch what's going on there. You were a big part of his life too!! Love the name, it fits.

[@michellepollino4986]

My mom named me Michelle because she loved the Beatles. Love that you named the greenhouse after your grandfather.

[@leahjunkins988]

Love, love, love when you sing and work! You are an awesome person.

[@kricket8ify]

BaHaha...born in 1982 in Quebec here!..no wonder I can feel so connected to you and your family....42 years old this year...ouff!! .... the Beatles are such a huge part of my self.....lol..not to mention all the Musicals....I miss Grandpa too. So much to say....so little time.

[@3pnow]

Todays video was such a treat, I recently went way back to see if there were videos I had missed and found myself at videos of your family caroling and a lovely video celebrating your grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. What a treat to watch you all together, celebrating your love for each other ! I know you know how very fortunate you are to have such a fun, funny, loving supportive family. Music seems to be a big part of the foundation that supports and creates your very special bond. Thank you for sharing your family with us ❤....I'm Linda from southern Ontario

[@rebekahmccabe3195]

I’ve never met him yet I miss him too. Thank you for sharing him. Love the name. Hugs!

[@OohMilitia]

I'm 33 and grew up listening to the Beatles with my mom as well :) Not sure why but Paperback Writer has always been my favorite.

[@BramptonGardener]

So bittersweet. Im glad you had sp much fun together, and he gotvyo be part of everything. Gone too soon, but forever in our hearts.

[@jillkeim3587]

You're such a hoot! My puppy was looking around like, What! With your whisteling and singing and such. So funny! ❤ Gabriel's Greenhouse. He was so precious.

[@roxanneboudreau9806]

What an awesome edit on this one! You have a lovely voice. How many have the 'coleus ' song on mental repeat today! LOL People who can be silly together have way more fun! The green house name is perfect! I loved meeting your Grandpa, the rest of your family and friends too!

[@manerviamcdonald4497]

Not me getting choked up while I’m on the treadmill 😅 I haven’t been subscribed to you for very long, but I just love your personality and your family. I can tell how close you all are and I absolutely love that for you!

[@loriswain8140]

Oh my goodness, I will forever sing that Coleus song. 🤣

[@kendallricker9633]

What a beautiful tribute to your Grandpa.

[@sandychristiansen1749]

When you said "the Big House" it brought back memories for me. We had an uncle that was not always on the right side of the law. If he wasn't at a holiday, the adults would say "He couldn't be here this time, he's at the Big House." We were pretty old before we realized the Big House was the state prison. Your Big House will be a new place to create new and wonderful memories.

[@maryellenwalz7415]

Great name for the greenhouse. And yes, he IS THERE!

[@clarissamiles]

I love the name of the greenhouse in honor of your grandfather. My son's name is Gabriel too and he's autistic and looooooooves gardening.

[@jamieflint2550]

Love the Beatles! My parents were teens/20s in the 60s so we had a lot of Beatles albums 😊 Also love all those coleus! I grew several from seed, and some varieties are already getting big!!

[@uteberg4781]

I understand you so much, missing your grandfather!!! 💖 We are all missing him! He was such a lovely, warm-heartet man! We all could need more of his kind!! Concerning music: Beatles 👍🏽 Sting & Police 👍🏽 Michelle fastforward 😂👍🏽 Happy easter from denmark!!! 🤗🌸

[@playmovictorian]

Hello from London dear Nicole 😃 You are so incredibly blessed to be surrounded by such a loving and caring family with Grand Pa who started the journey and still looks over you from above, your wonderful Mum who is a treasure to be cherished and so is your Grand Ma. Grief is indeed an incredibly difficult journey for us all as it takes us on a roller coaster of mixed emotions but I know that our loved ones are with us and do send us signs through the song of a robin or the delicate flutter of a butterfly. These Coleus are gorgeous and what fancy names they have ! Funny that they were fashionable when I was young and to see them back in fashion is making me smile. I hope that you will be able to enjoy a little time off on the Easter week-end and cannot wait to hear from your road trip with Brad 💚

[@kellyferren2705]

Love coleus and the Beatles my favorite song was oh darling ...

[@jenniferwolford4646]

Awe, Nicole!! 🥹 We all couldn't agree more!

[@MOOREISH5]

So sweet you are!!! And yes he is their smiling ❤❤

[@WRMRanch]

OMGosh I talk to my grandkids about my grandparents all the time to keep the chain unbroken ... it's the best...man those plants look amazing. UPDATE on your lavender if you ever have a chance busy girl. XO

[@donnanorris4733]

Hugs! We all loved your Grandpa :-)

[@elizabethtaylor2272]

Nicole you are so funny and blessed! I love watching your videos! Hey did Brad know the camera was on, he was some comfortable! You go Mr! ❤ You guys!😅

[@relaxingnatures81]

Wow so beautifull plants..missing your grandpa too

[@countrygirlgramma]

Prayers for you and your family. I know it's hard. My mom has been will be 9 years in August, and It's still hard for me. That just means they are still in our hearts.

[@crisa0390]

As a Notre Dame fan I can’t completely get behind “The Big House” (boo Michigan) But it is pure perfection at the same time!

[@darleneengelke16]

The big house is perfect for grandpas greenhouse. You are blessed to have such a great family with so much support. Grandpa was so special and I loved watching him .

[@betsymaltby6788]

"There are places I remember all my life, though some have changed. Some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain. All these places had their moments, with lovers and friends, I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living, in my life I've loved them all." John Lennon/Paul McCartney

[@QueenMotherRenee]

My favorite!

[@gaylecorwin3460]

I stopped at Lowe's on my way home tonight and when I walked past the seed stand I had to look for 🎶coleus🎶coleus🎶 and yes I sang it out loud when I found it 😂

[@thedirtygardener]

I love The Big House. That’s a perfect name for a perfect GPa. I planted Rodeo Drive and Chipotle together last year and they’re gorgeous!!! PS - Now I’m going to see the coleus song every time I pot up my coleus. 😊

[@aimeesgardens]

I don't think I'll be able to say coleus without singing it ever again 😂

[@tinaschaller8055]

Now I am singing coleus da da da bump bump bump!!!!

[@ritafreeman3252]

In tears watching this 🇦🇺🙏🥲

[@Talula72]

Nicole, the world needs more people like you! Most Coleus are not my favorite but I'm growing 2 purple colors from seed this year

[@debrabray8855]

A perfect name for The Big House.😊

[@margaretmininger9406]

The Big House.....I absolutely love it! I miss your Gramps, too. Such a fun and silly guy, just like you, his beautiful granddaughter. My fiancé and I make up silly songs all of the time, too; stay weird, sister! 🥰 (((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))

[@roxanneroehrig324]

❤🫂❤...love your chosen name 🥰. And WOW, such a wonderful assortment of coleus!!!

[@karmyleon3111]

So long as you keep putting out videos you’ll be my aura therapy😂😂you’re such a wacko(lovingly said)😊😊

[@MsFresh619]

The Big House perfect name ❤

[@dougieduck95]

I never had any grandparents as they all died before I was born but have lost my father and brother before they should have. Completely know where you are and how you help me deal with life and loss. My husband is bipolar and his meditation is vital to his mental health 💕💕

[@Georgeous.Garden]

Sweet memories. Looking forward to watching Gabriel’s Greenhouse flourish.❤

[@Mygardenspace]

Love the greenhouse plan for Grandpa! Gabriel is an awesome name! My kids grandpa (aka my father in law) was always making up songs and sometimes dancing a silly jig with it! His name was Conrad and now my grandson is Conrad after him. ❤️🙏❤️ so keep the songs and jigs coming girl! He was special for sure.

[@shericandee9882]

The very first concert I went to was The Police at the Carrier Dome.

[@mistygeller3193]

I’m going to be singing the coleus song for days!! 😂😂 You are so sweet, grandparents are very special aren’t they. My heart is with you. The ways that you honor grandpa are so special, without a doubt he is so proud of you ❤️

[@zazelda]

Your Grandpa was such a gem. I LOVED when he talked to us or you relayed messages from him. Nothing but kindness and love. Thank you for sharing him with us. We are richer for it. ♥

[@Thingys-Jill]

It would be fun if you could make a recording of your "silly songs" and play it in The Big House. Grandpa is still with you watching all that is going on.

[@Honkey-Donkey]

That coleus jingle is now stuck in my head.🎶

[@aussiebackyardgarden]

Much love, Nicole ❤

[@susancramer5668]

LOVE The Beatles!!

[@Freddyh]

Love you and big Gabe!

[@jcking6785]

I’m not going to cry, I’m not going to cry. The love in your family is so evident and so enviable (in a good way). ❤️❤️❤️ And I love your silly songs!

[@ginnysulya9805]

Hi Nicoleus, just a spontaneous type! Love how spontaneous you and your family are! It makes planting seeds a party and every memory of watching your grandfather was special! The love he shared with all of us and pride he had in all of you could fill 10 Big Greenhouses! My heart still aches for your loss but I know that Love will see you through! Peace and blessings! 🙏♥️😘

[@kiajohnson8595]

I was able to take coleus cuttings last fall and they are now ready for transplanting into the garden once we get above 50 degrees. Bless you for being so honest with your feelings with us, Hugs.

[@margueritelankinen7661]

Such a special emotional video remembering a special Grandpa in your life as well as in the lives of many others too.

[@marydrew3568]

Just hearing grandpa's voice gets me. My dad passed in 2020 and I haven't been able to watch videos with him in it. It still feels so unreal. I miss your grandpa for you and my dad.

[@jayjohnson3724]

Thank you for sharing. You motivate me.

[@laurelrosegardens6454]

What a lovely name and nickname for the greenhouse. We are indeed lucky when the people who matter to us are in our lives for many years. My grandpa died a year ago and his funeral was on my 39th birthday. I was lucky to have him for that long. He became a grandpa for the first time on the day I was born so I found some meaning in having his funeral on my birthday as well.

[@kristinstevens1349]

The big house!❤❤❤❤❤

[@jcalab6521]

❤ sending hugs

[@user-lv4zq5oe6t]

Hugs!

[@robertab4025]

Thank you for sharing your Grandpa with us. He is such a gem to your FB Family.

[@Katsimagination21]

Love you, Love Granpa, Love the Beatles, I am In LOVE ❤ with Sting and the Police, always have been since I was 10 years old ❤ And now ! I Love and will sing the Coleus song every time Implant it ! 😊

[@kim-is9tq]

This made me want to go back and watch grandpa's reaction to the glad blooms you grew... One of my all time favorite clips.. Ever! Can't wait to see which ones you add to his memorial garden. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@mattingleyhouse]

Argh, got me to my core... the big house, real nice.

[@soffyabad]

Is like the sea is behind you. We love Grandpa too, we miss him too. ❤

[@megansmith6807]

You have a lovely voice!

[@DebzZi]

Grandpa is proud as punch watching you continue uowards & onwards. Have a wonderful Easter with your awesome family. Love & hugs from S. Africa. ❤

[@marie9244]

Looking forward to seeing the Big House full and active and a beautiful garden around it. You were very lucky knowing such a loving grandfather and having him so long. He will always be with you in your heart❤ Happy 🐣 Easter from down under 🇦🇺

[@smburnette]

Love the name you picked for the " big" greenhouse. It is so nice that u have so many memories of grandpa on video. Now the song is stuck in my head....lol

[@desertedenblooms]

Gabriel is a name of Hebrew origin that means "God is my strength" or "a hero of God." The name has significant meaning to those of the Christian faith because Gabriel is the angel in the Bible who tells Mary she will bear the son of God

[@meandmysunshine1]

❤💞❤ The Big House is an awesome name. You used the name before you explained. I thought right away. Oh that is the new Greenhouse. Some days are just harder than others. The hurt gets less, but every now and then, it just slays you. Take care Nicole! Eileen 🍁🇨🇦

[@rebeccazody1278]

I love that Coleus song as that was my grandma’s favorite and mine too. Big Gab’s House makes me smile. Could you post a picture of him young? I bet he was a handsome guy. grandma probably a beauty. Hugs

[@ruralrouteliving]

The coleus song was so catchy, when I first heard it in the older video, it stuck to where I hear it whenever I see or read the word coleus! Glad to see it re-appear! I started the pinto mix coleus from seed this year, so I’ve been hearing the song a lot in my head.

[@Blake.Cooper]

I'm turning 42 next week! You are very lucky. Love your channel. Always wishing the best to you and your family from south central Kentucky!

[@janetbendes9216]

I Love my 🎶Coleus,👣 bum-bum-bump-bump-pump👣🎵Coleus👣🎶 🐿 I grew some Coleus 🎶 ❤ your video's❣️

[@amberlockhart1386]

I feel a type of void watching your videos still and him not popping in like in a lot of your older videos. Thank you for sharing him with us!
