🌿My Hydrangea Field Plan🤞: Pruning Hydrangeas w/ Sunflower Steve ✂️: Kings Mums : Flower Hill Farm

[@carolom8411]

Sunflower Steve absolutely does need to start a channel

[@laurabaughman1272]

“Now we’re cooking with gas!” I loved seeing Sunflower Steve! What a beautiful farm he has. Thank you for including him in this video, Nicole!

[@francineschnereger8246]

Sunflower Steve doesn’t need to improve . He’s just fine the way he is. The information and presentation are valuable. Just do it, Steve!

[@LitlPoot]

I would totally watch a Sunflower Steve KZbin channel ... he did a great job - and he's funny too !!!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I agree! The problem is actually time. It takes several hours to put a video together and manage a channel and he doesn’t have that kind of time in a day! 🎥

[@Edu_Kate]

@@FlowerHillFarm And you do?! 😜

[@mikeyfoofoo]

Distilled water, and Crowning Glory for the leaves to make cut flowers last longer was a great tip.

[@NatalyaBerezneva]

I am asking you nicely- NO, I demand more sunflower Steve learning videos on your chenal on everything he can share with us. Thank you so much, Nicole :):):)

[@jcking6785]

Let Steve know that his bloopers are totally charming! I’ll take real over fake any day! The mums you selected look so spectacular; can’t wait to see those in bloom! 💚🪴🌿💗

[@artistinagarden]

Bhaaaa, Oh Sunflower Steve is hilarious! Love the outtakes! Can't wait to see your hydrangeas grow Nicole, so exciting!

[@QueenMotherRenee]

Really enjoyed this collaboration! Two genuine people showing us the realities of flower farming, sharing what they are learning along the way! Giving us a wholesome laugh here and there helps to make it memorable! Kudos!!!

[@bethheerten1132]

"Add to cart...add to cart...add to cart". I know the feeling.

[@agal-m924]

We are already in Love with Sunflower Steve!!!

[@karenbuchanan2340]

I for one would follow Steve and his antics on his farm 👍 Your enthusiasm is contagious...Lol, I don’t need coffee I watch your videos-love it, and your expansion of 🌷🌻🌷Flower Hill Farm🌷🌻🌷

[@sharongeorge4096]

You absolutely cannot go wrong with limelight hydrangeas! I have taken best of show at the Woodstock fair three years in a row with mine. They get absolutely huge! So excited for you to be adding these to your flower assortment I know you will love them♥️♥️

[@vignettefarms323]

I have 'Oooh..add to cart' issues with all seeds, plants, flowers, too! Oh my word!

[@Weeks25]

Steve don’t even sweat it you did great. Who cares if you mess up it’s just KZbin 😁 I agree with everyone else I would love a channel about your flower farm. You messing up while taping your video is what’s making all of us love you!

[@dc0145a]

OMG sunflower Steve!!! I would totally subscribe to Sunflower Steve channel. Loved his video; so much knowledge to be learnt from Steve. TOOL TIME with Steve 😄🥰

[@taniabudge5418]

Sunflower Steve, you did a great job! Thanks for sharing more of your flower farm! I can’t wait to see your lilacs!

[@gardengirl7446]

Sunflower Steve is very entertaining. He needs his own channel. Please. ❤

[@marydrew3568]

Hahahaha! Sunflower steve made me giggle and smile this morning. Also- ADD TO CART! The struggle is REAL!! 🌻💖🥰

[@CapriceGVR]

Steve is awesome! He didn’t quit! Yay!

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Steve, you are crackin' me up!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Right 😂👆💐 had me giggling all day

[@JAYNEmM1962]

Wow what a sweet heart sunflower Steve is.

[@lifesprodject5265]

Awww! Just gotta feel for Steve. He did a great job! Power to the editing God. Lol

[@squyrestudio2703]

Oh my gosh, SFS is adorable. I would totally watch his KZbin channel. Thanks for this vid and the updates 👍🏾

[@breasuna]

That was adorable:) yes please more sunflower Steve

[@kristinorourke3353]

Love the sunflower Steve collabs! #keepingitreal is the best way! 💚💚💚

[@joanies6778]

OMG... great tip using distilled water. Thanks!

[@aleahlund123]

Sunflower Steve is my hero. I’m the same way in front of the camera. 🤣 I’m on the border of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, Steve. Let’s be flower friends! -blooming bunch flower farm

[@kathrynelkin1519]

That field is going to be awesome🥰

[@ColorfulBooknester]

We got our mums from Kings a couple of weeks ago and the little plants were soooooo cute! I just kept saying to them how cute they were!

[@SouthernYankee]

Awe sunflower Steve should start a KZbin channel we would all follow him. I planted my first pinky winky hydrangeas last year and I absolutely love it. It’s white and like an ombré pink! Stunning! And it’s all green with leaves again.

[@amandaludwig8824]

I'm already less than a minute in and needed to comment - when you mentioned that the name of the tulip was "Mamma Mia," I immediately sang "Mamma Mia!" Not even a second later you sang the same thing! I began to laugh and thought to myself- that is one of the reasons I love watching your videos! I feel like I'm watching a friend 💕 I'm a flower friend for life 🪴💐🥰 thank you for all that you do!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

💐🥰

[@mellymelle76]

Sunflower Steve did great!

[@mrs.riche3939]

Sunflower Steve is GREAT! Don't change, be you!! Imglad I'm not the only one who uses non cutting items to cut! Happy growing season!

[@amoore0713]

Steve! Its really tough to film yourself! It definitely gets easier and easier but still tough! 💕 you did great!

[@colliecoform4854]

I just !I've Sunflower Steve. He definitely needs a KZbin channel. It would be great bloopers and all!

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Great job Sunflower Steve! You did great! Thank you for sticking to it!

[@karenmccleary7616]

You ordered the mums because sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do...simple as that. Can't wait to see how beautiful all of your blooms are. Love how SS said, that he would pay his kids to do the cleanup because he didn't want to 😂

[@amyrainbow237]

Awesome video as always! So fun to see SFS trying his hand at filming! Tell him he did a great job and not to be so bashful! I really want to start a lavender farm once I've finished the renovation (and sold!) the place I'm in now so I am really looking forward to seeing how you do with planting out your patch and what varieties you try!

[@GavinAndShea]

Love the blooper reel! Thank you for sharing the information. Best wishes, Dorothy

[@amoore0713]

Now we're cooking with Gas! 😜Thanks for the tips Steve! Those ruby spirit hydrangeas have been on my list for awhile now! So pretty!

[@mysuburbanadventures9241]

Love seeing you guys actually working the Field and how you do it. Great info thanks for sharing

[@suburbangardeningcouple]

Wow 🤩 hydrangea field love love love x infinity!!!

[@gardeningmadeeasy5442]

It will look so pretty!

[@tracymarsh9142]

Good job sunflower Steve 😊🌻 I would totally watch your channel too

[@dawnaadams7807]

Steve is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing Steve and his knowledge with us 🥰

[@gardengatesopen]

Ahhhhhh, my kingdom for a field of Lilacs ever in bloom...

[@FlowerHillFarm]

👆same

[@gardengatesopen]

@@FlowerHillFarm Can you just imagine... ? (I KNOW you can!) Kids yelling, "Hey Mom!! Are you coming inside tonight??" Mom, "No, not tonight! I'm sleeping out here again!" And so goes the story, under the blanket of never ending Lilacs...

[@Edu_Kate]

My back yard neighbor has a very tall hedge of lilacs. Once in a while they grew over my fence and I could sneak a few blooms for a bouquet. She's moving away and I can only hope the new owners will keep them or maybe prune them to a better height so we all can get some bouquets. 😊 I'm still planting some in my yard. My 70+ year housing development is named "Lilac Way" after all.

[@Weeks25]

I have a few really large lilac bushes along my backyard fences (In a subdivision) an a couple other flowering bushes/trees. MAN OH MAN the lilacs smell soooooo good! Either the other flowering bushes an trees don’t have much of a scent or the Lilacs just overpower them. Fine with me though 😂 I’m trying to propagate a couple Lilac cuttings right now. Fingers crossed I can start a couple new bushes from the cuttings. Trying to grow some more hydrangeas from cuttings too. New to the whole cuttings thing but have had success so far with Lavender, Rosemary & Thyme.

[@gardengatesopen]

@@Edu_Kate Ohhhh, that sounds wonderful... Now I'm wondering just how hard is it to get my street name changed... ?

[@gregciotti2620]

Great job Sunflower Steve..

[@heatherbright7214]

I can. Oh wait for both Steve's and your next video. Love this.

[@jenniferandrews6487]

“This is the part where you fast forward and it looks like I did the whole row in two minutes” 🤣🤣🤣 My guess on Instagram was right!!! I had guessed either Steve’s sunflowers or hydrangeas....also so happy that it’s Limelight....they are my personal favorite!!!

[@cslheawood]

Hydrangeas😍🥰 I love them, the paniculata’s are my favourite🤩

[@hillarysoo3632]

He is so adorable!! Such a good complement to you! More Sunflower Steve please!!!

[@tarapeterson1729]

😍😍 hydrangea field!!! I would put a chair and just enjoy

[@christophertaylor9826]

Love your videos and Sunflower Steve.

[@mariatosado4708]

I really love Steve💜😍😘

[@jessiemcbride3465]

Omg the outtakes are amazing! So funny! Great video all around

[@kellyferren2705]

Those mums look amazing

[@wendycullingworth3879]

I LOVE sunflower Steve. He's such a great guy. 👍

[@yvonnepegram3859]

Love sunflower Steve

[@SharonLaMotte]

im a crazy flower lady.....love your enthusiasm

[@joelc9421]

Haha great video. Love your channel. Sunflower Steve is awesome. Tell him thanks

[@bryonyhellis]

Chrysanthemums? Now there’s a rabbit hole I’m going to willingly throw my self down 😆 Loved sunflower Steve, thanks for introducing us all to him!

[@threeliliesflowerfarm9129]

Steve's info is so helpful. I hope he'll share his drying technique when the time comes. Love the Tool Time reference and who doesn't love a dose of humor and a good blooper? Can't wait for the unboxing of your hydrangeas Nicole.

[@jennyugarte8697]

I would definitely watch a Sunflower Steve channel. He did great. I love chrysanthemums and King's Mums are awesome but some of the cultivars you ordered may not bloom before frost. Been growing them for 3 years but I have had to bring them into my heated greenhouse before the frost hits my area to wait for the blooms. The blooms have a vase life of over 2 weeks. Sometimes I can get them to last 3 weeks. Love them.

[@Edu_Kate]

So, after watering in some violas I planted in my rusty urn yesterday, I looked over the weed situation around it. Mmm, I'm going to have to get after those. I gathered the tools, a large piece of cardboard to sit on and started working on weeding. My neighbors went on a bike ride, we chatted a bit to catch up after our winter hybernation. They returned from their trip and I hadn't moved an inch. That's how thick the weeds (and quack grass 😠) are. I filled a 5-gallon can! Loaded up the car with stems from my mock orange I cut to the ground in March and hauled everything to our municipal yard waste site. Mmm, across the road is a Home Depot store. I just wanted to pick up 3 bags of mulch (I'm trying to break down chores into small projects so I'm not overwhelmed). Gosh! They have plants! Two foxgloves, 3 PW violet rage salvia, 1 drinking gourd hosta and an 8-pk. of alyssum later I have begun 2021 gardening season. I have many lily bulbs to pot up, too. You inspire me, Nicole.

[@Edu_Kate]

And my tulips are color cracking. A couple even opened.

[@ede-jomadden8182]

love that Steve!

[@Shridra]

Hydrangeas and lilacs are two of my FAVORITE flowers. I didn't actually know they could be cut flowers too! When I get a house I'm putting a lilac bush right outside, both because I love them and because my husband's grandmother always had one

[@leiaflash5055]

Sunflower Steve is hilarious! No wonder you two get along ;) Love the mums you chose and I'm excited for your future hydrangea and lavender fields.

[@Artzenflowers]

I too cannot wait for the Lilac video and more bloopers! I hope you linked the source for the mums, I love them and can grow them here!

[@peggyjk]

Great job Steve! We look forward to seeing more of you, even if you struggle! 😃. Nicole those mum are very pretty, wow! Both of you must be running in circles trying to get everything trimmed and planted, I’m tired just watching! ☺️😉💐

[@julielamb9983]

Love Sunflower Steve!! Can't wait to see your flowers to bloom also!

[@Annathranholm]

Oh I love him, he is so funny😊 a perfect workpartner for you.

[@lisacook7917]

I love Spring meadow. That place is amazing. They are only a couple miles away. When you’re ready to order Lavender, let me know. Walters Gardens is about 15 minutes from me. I’m there every Wednesday picking up plants. Their lavender is gorgeous.

[@maryday7602]

Thanks for sharing your life’s work. Really great to watch you enthuse over your plant babies. Make sure you catch all those plastic peanuts! Don’t need that invasive (fantasy) plant sprouting on your farm!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I hunted them ALL down LOL

[@tjo1233]

Beautiful

[@samanthaw1419]

He's so cute! The mums need very careful pinching out lady😁 A new rabbit hole to fall down.

[@winkfinkerstien1957]

Wow, valuable information! Thanks so much for sharing! My hat's off to you and Brad! Best wishes to you and yours! Go, go, go! :)

[@daiseegray9110]

Spring meadow nursery is whole sale, I live 10 minutes from this beautiful nursery. Woohoo they will be beautiful 🌼☀️

[@sarahlovesdonuts9601]

Quick, patent that “Blue Screw” box opening tool! Sunflower Steve is a hoot! Ty for these videos.🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺

[@MariaFuentes-dr7hm]

Y’all made my day!! Thank for the info God bless

[@sjwestmo]

Yay Steve!

[@kimberlyscott2851]

I loved Sunflower Steve's video! The outtakes were sweet. I hope he keeps doing collaboration videos with you. I love hydrangeas! I want to plant a few here this year. You make me want to buy all the flowers!! haha!

[@stephaniecampbell3015]

That will be an awesome hydrangea patch! If you can get some Bobo hydrangeas that would be a good smaller white panicle hydrangea to add to your patch.

[@karinichols3715]

Sunflower Steve is just pure Wisconsin--absolutely love it! I live in southeastern WI and I kinda want to stalk him to see those fields. But hey--no fear...I only kill seedlings lol

[@92584wa]

love the matchstick

[@sweetolivefarms4580]

Your videos are so great. Informative and entertaining.

[@miavanga4836]

Ok love your energy and always interesting facts. Just starting to grow more flowers so I can create my own arrangements for the house and occasionally for friends and family. Thanks for the inspiration 🥰.

[@nicolechew1029]

He needs a youtube channel 🤣 love him!!

[@ButterflyBox89]

I loved tool time, huurgh

[@jennaaw9073]

Loved seeing Sunflower Steve's clip! So funny! Even though I am in an suburb association, I am aspiring to have a cut flower garden. I live vicariously through you guys! Limiting myself is SO hard!

[@kimwilliams7051]

Great video

[@amyguest5192]

Sunflower Steve is amazing just the way he is! Question: have we been growing hydrangeas all wrong? I've never pruned them that deeply.

[@alissaeyre8302]

That was so great!!! I've tried making some short videos for Facebook and I'm horrible at it!!! I totally understand how sunflower Steve feels! I'm excited for your hydrangeas, Nicole! I have 3 paniculata types and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I couldn't believe how many blooms I was able to use in bouquets last summer!

[@gretchenkaszuba734]

Cool plants!! Don't let the chickens get the peanuts!!

[@Lillystromhollow]

They're going to look wonderful!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I hope so!

[@pamschill7879]

Sunflower Steve does a good job explaining things. He just needs practice & coffee perhaps.

[@miachavez2728]

Love that momma Mia tulip 🌷. It is my fav color and it has my name too !!!💜 😁

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Get some!

[@stacyssassystyles]

I'm so excited for all of this!! We just move out to a bit of more country area and I have so much coming .....you guys are helping me sort it all out!

[@karenslater343]

Sunflower Steve is lovely thanks for sharing can wait to see your farm full of flowers ,I’ve got flower seedlings growing I plan to fill up a raised bed in front of my Dads window so it looks like a large bouquet 💐 I’m new to this so can’t wait to see if I can do it.

[@MrsLovelyPendragon]

Omg that momma Mia is GORGEOUS 😍 I am not a fan of tulips or daffodils buuuuut since seeing all the pretty varieties I'm thinking I may get some next year. Love how you educate along the way in each of your videos!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thank you! 💐
