Finally- FLOWER OVERLOAD : Early August Flower Farm Harvest : Flower Hill Farm

[@curiouscat3384]

Nicole you are my oasis. I watch the news and then your video pops up in my feed. I come here and am instantly soothed by your gentle acoustic music and stunning photography. Then your cheerful, passionate, optimistic, sometimes silly personality makes me chuckle and I feel refreshed when I leave. Thank you for sharing your farm and business with us. :)

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Wow, thank you!

Don’t watch the news!

I would love a bouquet of your "reject" or "too far gone" flowers!!! Who's with me🙋??

Your vid is so therapeutic in the covid time....I'm from Trinidad n we don't have those beautiful flowers....loving the dhalias💖was looking on Johnny seed n it had been out of stock for soooooo long....u are amazing n love ur energy💟💗💕💞💖

[@dalesgander4285]

Hi Adele, I'm from Trinidad too! Small world 😀 I love looking at Nicole's channel so I can drool. I however did get some zinnia, dahlia and teddy sunflower seeds in Aranguez though. Can't wait to start them!

[@adeleramsaroop4759]

When u get it started u can send me photos so i can drool too lol

[@adeleramsaroop4759]

@@dalesgander4285 hi Dale...how r u? Where in Aranquez did u get those gorgeous seed..is it the one on the plant shop on the highway or in Aranquez it self? Can u message me the the name of the plant shop pleeeeeease...thank you in advance 😊

My favorite tip is the "shake the stem" . Keep those ideas coming!

[@pdxwriter5363]

Zinnias have such a geometric purity. Thanks for sharing your humor and videos; I always learn something new about gardening.

[@blessedfairyKVB]

Nicole - Thanks so much for shooting this harvesting video. One of the things I struggle with the most is understanding the size of mature plants. Often times, I only find close up images of the blooms or other photos without anything next to them, so there's no perspective to determine scale. This video was extremely helpful in that regard. Also, I really appreciate you sharing tips on the proper stage for harvesting versus a bloom that is "too far along" to include in a bouquet. You're awesome and a wonderful resource. Have a great week!

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Yes! It is so helpful when it comes to seeing the mature plants! Like I'm currently working on my 2022 seed order & was going to order agrostemma- well I thought they were small blooms like the ammonium & baby's breath! But no! They're pretty big!

[@jjbjjbh]

The cosmos dancing in the breeze. With the background music. A sight for sore eyes. So jealous of you Nicole for the amount of time you spend with your gorgeous flowers. Your hard work paying off. So happy for you.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thank you so much!!

[@barbaramccann7944]

All this flower harvesting and bouquet arranging, PLUS videography and editing, you GO girl!.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

You're the best! It's a LOT - this was all today-- I sprayed for bugs this morning for an hour before harvesting- six hours of harvest and then editing for about three hours. It never ends!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Wow, Nicole, you are a machine!

[@ayina114]

6 hours! I didn't know that harvesting flower would take so long!

[@danikit7994]

And mom!!

[@sharonrickards3297]

I'm so impressed, you are a very determined, hard working Mama with a passion for beautiful flowers. And quite the comedian! If I lived near you, I'd be one of your best customers. Best of luck with your sales.

Watching your videos brings me peace and you’re hilarious. Thank you for being you.

Our grocery store just gave me 11 flower buckets - for FREE. So excited!

[@cheriemartin3767]

Nicole, I am SO EXCITED to have found you, which was from the KZbin channel " You can't eat the grass" I have been envying her flower beds thinking I would not be able to achieve that living in zone 4b.. THANK YOU for showing we can .. I am 4b central Vt. I have flower beds galore and couldn't bring myself to cut the blooms from my beds and have been dreaming of creating a cut flower bed.. This will be my goal for 2022. Right after watching all your videos ;) I love your enthusiasm for each precious bloom. I do will do a happy dance as each bloom arrives :) P.s after watching your joy and excitement, I did it.. I went out and cut myself two bouquet.

[@alyssayounan]

Thank you so much for sharing all of the good and bad. More so the bad. Digging for the thrips was awesome. I would never have thought to do that.

OMG 😱 the Rose Lillies - they are like the tissue paper flowers I made in 2nd grade! I always chose the pink, hot pink and red tissue papers to make layered petals- can’t believe it exists in real life!!

[@anthonyrau5313]

Dearest Nicole, I have now been following your videos for over 1.5 years all the way from South Africa, from before we took the big jump to move 500km, buu a farm and turn it into a flower farm. I follow loads of channels, listen to the flower podcast with Scott (Ascfg), and do hours of research, but I have to say you are still one of my favourite and most inspiring channels to watch! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and lovely, real and relatable personality. We are now a year into cut flower farming, grow an almost identical mix of varieties as you (largely inspired by your successes), and now supply 3 large grocery stores, and have a super busy stall at the local farmers market. In our busiest weeks we sell up to 300 bouquets per week. We are currently buying in alot to supplement what we grow until our production qties are sufficient, but are very happy how things have grown. I just want to say thank you, you were and still are one of my biggest inspirations! Anthony from Knysna, Western Cape, South Africa

[@BrightestBlessings7899]

I love cosmos!! We grew some this year, first time ever! I will grow them every year now.

[@backwoodsbaby9729]

What a feast for the senses. I’m home sick and this is helping me dream about what my flowers will look like! On a much smaller scale! Lol. Love love love!

[@45jessiemad]

I just want you to know, I appreciate you taking the time to move the camera around to get all these angels. I know it's a pain to stop and move the bucket and the camera 📷. Girl I hate washing buckets too! I haven't been to my market in 2 weeks and still haven't washed the buckets I used 3 weeks ago. 😅

Hi Nicole, thank you for sharing all your flower news, the highs and lows of everything you grow is refreshing. When I see your notifications I wait for a gap in my day and make a cup of tea and then when I hear your intro music I go into calm mode and know I am going to be entertained, laugh, sometimes cry but mostly be massively inspired. Thank you and I can’t wait for longer videos of harvesting, arranging and bouquet bars. Thank you from Yorkshire, England xxx

[@hakimaelhassouni962]

Dear Nicole, I enjoy watching part of your life, You are such an inspiration. Your joie de vivre and your conversation to either the big web void or your family make me smile, so THANK YOU. Love your flowers, love your show, and maybe that is the secret for such happiness, been surrounded by the simplicity and the beauty of the flowers, the nature at its essence. You were talking about not been major in theater, so what was your major, if I may ask?

Amazingly gorgeous flower farm, Nicole! Beautiful job! I must admit I am one of those people who would enjoy a real-time, non-sped up video of the flower harvest. There is indeed something soothing, comforting, and life affirming about harvesting flowers. When I am in my office, I watch gardening videos, and feel like I, too, am in the garden. Thank you! You are an amazing lady, Nicole, an awesome mother, a fun jokester, a generous heart.

Hi, it might be beneficial to plant lots of wild senna and other beneficial herbs/flowers around your glads. They attract a lot of lady bugs. I planted some wild senna this year and the number of wasps and lady bugs that live in it is incredible. Hugs your way.

[@Edu_Kate]

I love to strip...leaves. Oh Nicole, I'm so proud of you. Months and months of planning, planting and caring for all these flowers has finally rewarded you. So beautiful. You've introduced us to so many new plants. I'm considering growing a small patch of cut flowers next year. How does one choose though? I love belting out a good show tune.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thank you so much!

[@littlemissblueyes100]

Until watching videos.. it never occurred to me to strip leaves! I rarely brought flowers indoor.

[@karenlundgren4782]

I love your flowers Nicole!!!! They are so so gorgeous! I would love to grow flowers like you and I would definitely go to your Bouquet Bars if I lived there. But unfortunately, I live in Wisconsin. I have been having a terrible problem with my Zinnias. The Tarnished Plant Bug is all over them and destroying them. The leaves and buds are chewed up and if the Zinnia blooms, it is deformed. They look horrible! Someone told me the tarnished plant bug won’t eat holes in my zinnias. They thought it sounded like a worm issue, but I don’t see any other bug - only the tarnished plant bug everywhere. Can you please help and give me your advice and what to do about this horrible bug! Thanks!

[@patnalley9148]

I found your channel 7/2021 and have enjoyed it so. I have been watching some of your past streams, last night I watched one (not sure of the date), at the end you talked about how some people had kind of disappointed you in how they reacted to your choice to grow flowers for a living. Nicole please know that what you do is so much more than growing flowers (even though they are AMAZING). You help people like me that due to health issues are no longer able to work in their flowers as they would love to, there is nothing like the smell of dirt. Keep doing all you do, remember you are gardening for us too.
