⚡️Power Outage SCARE ⚡️ : Planting the First Baskets of the Season 🪴 : Flower Hill Farm

[@jupitersgarden5097]

My husband always gets you and Laura confused too. And I’m like JOE, Laura is “hey guys, how’s it going?” and Nicole is “hi flower friends!”. Geez.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

😂

[@victoriakreative]

🤣🤣

[@latrans5]

Nicole, love your videos! I love how you are not bothered by being confused with Laura from GA. I love both your channels and watch both. You bring so much fun and interest and just a different bunch of gardening information that is different from GA, but together we subscribers gain a plethora of knowledge. Thank you and never change!! Wish I lived close enough to shop at your nursery.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thanks! Yes, the email said they were just north of me in Oregon and they cant wait to visit my parent's shop....that's when I said OH- they have me confused with Laura! :) It's happened a couple times. Can't complain, Laura is amazing!

[@Wazupiseeyou]

Over the weekend I was told to cast for Cruella. I wouldn’t mind being confused with Laura either. Lol

[@AngieBrittHEC]

​@@Wazupiseeyou😂

[@melissamiew4056]

Remembering how you were last year. Running around with you head cut off basically, to this. So much more confident and relaxed in what needs to be done. There really is nothing quite like experience. Everything looks amazing. You go girl, like a Boss.

[@gardeneroncarriagehill]

It seems crazy busy but yet calm. Great job!

[@adelinasuciu2162]

SHE’S BACK!!!! Long videos and teaching us everything!!!!!! Thank you Nicole!! 🤗

[@Heartofahomesteader]

I thought our weather was crazy, but it's nothing compared to yours!

[@Dwynfal]

Great job Nicole! A little tip, with your basket, offset the plants away from the hanging points so that most of the plants will fall in between each spoke. Makes for a better, cleaner finish and you're less likely to damage the plants when they are moved!

[@standinntherain]

We always did 4 plants in a Y shape, with one being in the middle!

[@rosalynnelson2254]

I'm glad things turned out OK with the power. I do ballroom dancing and swing dancing and nothing heats up a space quicker than a bunch of people dancing, maybe you could get some dancers on speed dial for an emergency all night rager if it happens again. A generator would probably work too though 😅

[@sandraengstrand2784]

🤣🤣🤣💃🏼🕺🏼🪩❤

[@jjbjjbh]

A big Hello 👋 👋 👋 And welcome to Ethan. Thanks Ethan for helping our friend Nicole. Hope we shall be seeing lots of Ethan and other helpers in weeks to come. Yayyyy the garden season has begun! Good luck with your nursery this year Nicole.

[@BrendaLGreen]

Weirdest weather ever, ! It got so warm in Mo. And then from 60s to 26 for two nights. My Daffodils are stunted because of it. Just not long enough. Glad your pushing on girl. We lv ya ♥️

[@rebeccazody1278]

Wonderful vlog! You all are working machines!

[@rhondawishart546]

A neck saver idea that we use at my nursery. Use a black crate to bring the pots higher. We just did 1400 plugs already good times

[@margarethairsine8648]

I love following along with all you do! The familiar strumming in the opening of your videos gives me a peaceful easy feeling .... I can't be the only one! xo

[@danakenoyer106]

So exciting. We😊

[@DeAnne9743]

Then I'm kind of sad when the strumming comes on near the end, lol.

[@laurieshields2337]

You crack me up. I do the same thing with my glasses! Also I’m very jealous of Ethan .

[@meagantrout2127]

We have a generac and it has saved us twice now in the past three years. Also I found you from Laura at GA. I don’t remember why, but she mentioned you several years ago and I subscribed immediately.

[@9091msb]

Going in the way back machine when I used to work in a greenhouse/nursery business, we would firm up the soils in the baskets so that the soil level is 1/2” or so from the top of the baskets while we planted. That allows for a water well so once your customers bring them home the water has a chance to soak in. But that is advice from 15 years ago - so take it as you like. And you are living my dream!!! Maybe one day I’ll take the leap to leave my day job and grow full-time. Until then - I’ll live vicariously through you ❤

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

I love when a plan comes together!

[@TheMistakenGarden]

I’m loving how you are explaining how you plant the baskets. I also always think you have to plant more to the edge, but this makes total sense ❤

[@bethhubbs9937]

Yay for Ethan working that pot filler like a boss! That prep work is so helpful.

[@eileenbartnick7202]

Hello! Isn't it amazing how some extra hands can make such a difference in your work load!! My moms favorite saying was "Many hands make light work"!! So so true! You are so lucky to have SO many "hands"!!! Happy planting!!

[@jennifergrassel1097]

Hanging board with the thermostat…put a chunk of pool noodle on there to protect your head. Love your videos. No idea is too big for Nicole to tackle! ❤️

[@n.w.414]

Great job Ethan!

[@pocketsofmayhem]

So exciting to see you planting 🎉 I work at a grower/ retailer and planted up 36” pots for our front display and had your “plant” closer to the center in mind 😉. You are doing an amazing job and amount of work🙌🙌🙌

[@bethhubbs9937]

Yay for Jules! What a fun energy she has. I can see why she became a part of the family. :) How fun for everyone to get together to help. I think it is super fun to be productive and, of course, to get one's hands in the dirt.

[@susancramer5668]

Amazing progress…and such great helpers!

[@cindyclark3969]

Your videos are so much fun to watch. What a hard working bunch of people.

[@susiethomas6032]

Love this time of year with the unboxing and planting up of the baskets etc. Hi to your new employees 👋👋 x

[@cbak1819]

Nicole all the ranunculus and anemones are sprouting up nicely🎉 thanks again for sharing your stash..😃💜

[@ofrecentvintage]

GIRL! I think I'm west of you and we had that same crazy 50 degree plummet/weather switchup! Snow and all. But it's already melted and another record-breakingly warm day is underway 😅

[@KaitlyntheGardener]

Hi Nicole! Would love a recommendation for a hose nozzle that lasts. ❤ Great content as always!

[@wendymarples8388]

I love to see you learning ways to make the process more efficient as you go. :D

[@daisyblooms4813]

Nicole, you could cut up a pool noodle (or bubble wrap) and attach it to that wood piece that hangs down from the ceiling so if people hit their head on it, it won't hurt...also, would make it stand out and easier to see 🙂

[@DragonflyArtz1]

This must be so exciting! Just to see it all happening! I feel an inner joy, I can't even imagine how you must feel?! I can't wait to see all of those plants fill out their pots! PS- I still love those tiny little Ferns! I just love miniature stuff! Peace!

[@madonnaschmid7707]

LOL..."I put my sunglsses down somewhere and dont know where they are"! I so relate to that:D

[@valerieoster8049]

What a blessing to have a young man to help save your back! What an exciting time for your growing business. Blessings!

[@Mimi-gj1fq]

Its that fave time of the year & The shade😎game is back😂🤣

[@elsafischer3247]

Is great to have your children involved in the business

[@reginaneufeld1092]

I am so happy for you enjoying your dream.

[@barbarafegley5566]

Your baskets will be so beautiful. I grew crazy tunia moonlight magic last summer in large planters. They grew like crazy.

[@julievanerem9578]

We call the 4 plants in a 10" pot the "Loaf Bread" layout... 4 corners of the bread get a plug. East ro remember for helpers too

[@thegardnersgarden]

Those baskets are going to be so much fun to watch fill in.

[@deb135]

Its nasty here in Northern Alberta, so seeing flowers and plants warms my heart!

[@altheab.8907]

You’re very well organized this year, Nicole. It’s amazing that those teeny little plugs turn into such things of beauty. Plants are awesome. 👍💕🌺

[@AQTGirly4U]

Look at those plugs going in LIKE BUDDA!!!!

[@eyrerosecottage1970]

I love lamium. I just discovered it a couple of years ago.

[@susanelms4590]

Absolutely love your planting and filling videos….. keep them coming x

[@Talula72]

Those BURRITOS! I would buy a bunch and plant them together!

[@donnamatthews4250]

I always love your videos! Treat Ethan good! He will be a really good helper.

[@kathystoner8916]

Gotta love any Stephen Sondheim reference. Attend the tale of Sweeny Todd.

[@vivherman2296]

So cool when your crew turns out to help. I'm wondering what you're going to put in the new greenhouse. More beautiful baskets? Perennials? You're going to be drowning in blooms!! But..what a way to go!!lol!

[@lindaparra6002]

You make 'work' sound like so much fun. I'm excited for you. I will have to look for a red, white, and blue basket in my area. Continued Blessings!

[@LittleIowa]

This young man looks like he is a blessing to you this year! helping pot everything and get the greenhouses ready.

[@leahbender7032]

I love watching your videos and seeing when you get the weather we had a couple days prior lol

[@katieshelton8117]

Your glasses cracked me up 😂 Thanks for your videos. I wonder if my local garden center would let me volunteer to put plants for a day or something just to get my hands in the dirt.

[@rattriffic]

I could literally just listen to and watch you plant plants all day. Weird I know, But it's just interesting and also calming. I'm so happy to see you bringing in letting go a little bit and delegating. So people can do some of these tedious projects for you😊.

[@SaeWhen]

lmao the sunglasses - love your production flow! KEEP IT UP

[@Doxie1914]

Every looks really nice. Good luck 🍀 on your 2nd season 🌸

[@قناةطبخالمغربيالاصيل]

[@suziqbrown7073]

How different it is this year in your greenhouses. Planting the plugs would be a dream job.

[@pamulapowell3951]

So exciting🪴🌻🌷🌸

[@shariglasser7192]

I bet by the season's end, you'll have Ethan laughing along with you. If i lived close, I'd be there helping you plant while shimmying to Sweeney Todd and Chicago ( all that jazz) 😂

[@dshollins5864]

Thanks for getting me in the mood to plant!

[@lisafenno4563]

We can hear the excitement in your voice!. Good vibes going your way for a great spring for you and the nursery

[@parkerallen848]

Love your videos Nicole!!🌺

[@sharonrickards3297]

Labor of love!

[@rattriffic]

That after the storm basket is Gorgeous ❤❤❤

[@laurelrosegardens6454]

I think that gold sedum might be called Ogon. We planted some in my sister's Texas garden but sadly, it is not hardy in zone 4.

[@kathystarnes6744]

Love it so much!💚💚💚

[@stacynagle5192]

Loved this one! Looking forward to the next one ❤

[@heatherjolly8389]

So satisfying

[@graylagran7443]

Yay Ethan!!!

[@karenm5681]

22:24 Try tying a couple strings or surveyors tape or ribbon so they hang a couple feet down from the thermostat so you’ll see the hanging things and not hit your head.

[@karenm5681]

Just as a temporary solution, of course…just takes 30 seconds to do!

[@SouthernYankee]

I love lamium and its perennial here in Va but the dang moles voles and squirrels keep eating it, along with all my bulbs. Next season I’m going to have to put chicken wire in when planting underground. I’ve lost hundreds of dollars of plants and bulbs due to the dang animals.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Maybe hire a trapper/exterminator?

[@dig_grow_cook]

Mystery yellowish sedum could be ‘Limelight’. Love that one. 😁

[@graylagran7443]

LOL Google maps says it’s an 11 1/2 hr drive from near Raleigh NC to your nursery 😂 only 711 miles! Wish I could road-trip it.

[@Nicollettesparkov]

I’m living vicariously through you!

[@wendycullingworth3879]

Great content as always. Now you have had the power outage scare have you got your backup plan sorted. Everything is pointing to major outages in the near future so generators would be good. Also, foodchain disruptions are inevitable so vegetables are going to be in high demand. It may be your best veg growing season yet!

[@408Dolly]

😂Lol! Laura lives in the next town over from me. I’m in Fruitland Idaho. About 1 mile away the snake river and Oregon border. We are practically neighbors. Andrew Seeds Garden Center is the best of the best top quality in our area. They are my go to.

[@lauras5312]

love it 😍

[@jennettussery4185]

Our Lowe’s has generac generator’s maybe you could order one from your Lowe store they sell here for around 6,000 in Milledgeville Georgia

[@suziecampbell3897]

I've watched a lot of your videos so I'm loaded up on A LOT of great info. I've got a notebook FULL of your tips!! My question is this?? what is all in your planting soil mix? and where'd you get your cool pot soil filling machine? Love your personality and your work and sharing ethic is on point!! Thank you

[@ready2run2006]

Hi Nicole! I’m not sure if you’re aware but there are Osmocote for commercial growers. Apparently only available if you have a business license. I’m not sure how different that is from the one you get at big box stores.

[@judysoedt916]

Put a pool noodle on the hanging board . Then it won’t hurt when your head hits it.

[@lindacacioppo9665]

Love it all 😀

[@maryrose4148]

Love you! Did I miss you planting shade baskets?

[@lisakucharski4034]

Confident and singing!! What type of potting soil do you use?

[@joywoodward5787]

Are the succulents hardy for your zone or are the house plants?

[@hopemorrison2367]

What is on the roots that you can just push it in the soil

[@katrienvh4289]

Hey Nicole, are you going to sell heliotrope ? They smell divine (sigh 😂) and flower all summer. Beautiful purple/blue. Great in pots but also in full ground.

[@TheWinteste]

love mitski

[@Dahliawoman]

Can you enlighten us on your potting soil mix combination? What part compost?

[@shandysgarden]

We all wish we were either Laura from Garden Answer... or Nicole from Flower Hill Farm!! Same tribe. You are my peeps!😂 ❤ 😊🌹

[@maryellenwalz7415]

I want to work for you! Think I could commute from Massachusetts? 🤨😂

[@debrabray8855]

❤

[@georgiahofto-is3rz]

Why don't you reuse the plug trays to plant your seeds into instead of soil blocking..

[@beverlyzientara4502]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

Sedums are so annoying to plant up when plugs .

[@sunflowersusan5616]

😂💕

[@cherylmyers9285]

Have you ever made a video where you DONT sing or make weird sounding words? Can't take it anymore. BYE!
