For perspective. This video takes place over five hours. Lisa helped me for about one hour. That's the magic of editing! The video itself took me about three hours to edit this morning.

[@deidralewandowski2659]

you are amazing

[@DebzZi]

Love your spirit, have been binge-watching your older videos while I lie in bed with 'flu' or who knows what virus! Love your clowning around moments, makes me think back to myself in my younger, carefree days 😅 🙃 ❤️ thanks for making me smile today, looking forward to getting back into my garden soon!

[@richbishop7896]

You made me cry too Nicole with your reflection on beauty your giving to others. My time in the garden is my escape from the troubles of life. I need heart surgery and was diagnosed with lung disease this year. Your videos have brought me joy and entertainment. Bonny

[@FlowerHillFarm]

You got this Rich!

[@michelesimpson2237]

🙏🏼

[@DalhiaSun]

Good luck to you Rich. Watching Nicole will keep you smiling 🙂.

[@mtairyherbs]

I just freaking love you. I’m so addicted to your videos. And I can appreciate your sentiments at the end. You bring beauty in more ways than the flowers. Your videos bring hope and joy to us all.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thank you so much!!

[@banabajardine]

I also feel the same way about bringing beauty to the world. I wish more people were able to do that too.

[@jenniferwolford4646]

Not only do your flowers bring beauty but YOU bring beauty to all of us who love to watch and follow you Nicole!! Thank you!! ❤️

[@DragonflyArtz1]

THAT is Garden Therapy at it's finest. If you are not humbled by the deeper meaning of it all and your connection to that, then you are missing the point of it. Something about having your hands in the Earth reaffirms that connection of everything and it is a beautiful experience. Peace. =I=

[@workingfolk]

Clothespins work great for clamping the row covers to the wire hoops inside the hoop house. No wind to pull them off. I'm told they can even be used for hanging clothes outside. I'll have to try that sometime.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

🤣🤣 nice!

[@DragonflyArtz1]

I tried using them to hang clothes once. I gave them all of the proper instruction, but they just sat there!🤔

[@cindyhingley]

@@DragonflyArtz1 😂😂🤣

[@Edu_Kate]

I love how supportive gardeners are. That's a great idea. Especially since I no longer have my clothesline. I used my salad spinner to sift regular potting soil so I could use for my winter seed sowing. Reserved the bark chunks to mulch outside.

[@VanessaLong]

I could hear the angels singing when you planted your first ranunculus IN THE HOOPHOUSE and you had me crying at the end. It truly is a privilege to steward our land. Thank you for the inspiration and joy that you bring through your videos and work. 😍

[@mio.giardino]

I was screaming “there are chickens behind you!” so loudly that my neighbours probably heard me. 🤣😂 I can’t wait to see them bloom! 😍

[@FlowerHillFarm]

LOL They are sneaky!!! Always when my back is turned LOL

[@catfeltin8440]

You are pure sunshine! I'm having a bad day today feeling alone in my endeavor and you come along singing and laughing! Thank you! You are already bringing beauty to this world!

[@tracyoconnor-mcgraw4952]

Oh Nicole …you are so special ❤️ we all love you . THANK YOU 🌻

[@lorihuizinga7932]

So happy to see you in your polytunnel. Watch your chickens if they have access to the tunnel. My chickens hit my few trays like an all you can eat salad bar last year. Ah the lessons we learn 😊

[@curiouscat3384]

Haha Yes! Even though I KNOW that lesson I absentmindedly left the garden gate open for a SECOND yesterday after planting flats of romaine lettuce seedings. When I turned around 5 chickens had topped off every single one from 6" to 3", grrr. Oh well, cut and come again and maybe they'll get bushier, lol.

[@Talula72]

I love your reflections at the end. You absolutely DO bring beauty to this world. And not just to your customers but all of us who are able to live out your farm life with you, from a distance. You have taught me a lot over the last 9 or so months and I have a small tray of Lisianthus seeds I started because of you.

[@mistygeller3193]

Oh my god you are the best pick me up fun little squirt! 😂 And I completely understand how grounding and reflective gardening truly is. You are doing something wonderful there! Thank you for your hard work and dedication!! You are appreciated!

[@thedreamingbun5998]

These baby ranunculus already bring so much joy at this stage in their life without even blooming yet! To me, fresh growth in early spring is the ultimate symbol of hope. 💚

[@DalhiaSun]

Wow just freaking WOW! YOU are AMAZING!! Your flowers should sell for 10X’s more than you actually can charge. I admire your strength and energy. In my best day I couldn’t compete with you AND YOU went skiing this morning!?!!!! WOW! I need a spa day just watching you!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Wow, thank you!

[@MegaCabCummins6]

Something to help you with plant spacing. Make a frame to hold a 3-5 foot section of the netting, then you don’t have to mess with stretching it out ect.

[@katherinekelly4782]

Thank you for the chicken footage! The girls are my favorite part. Just seeing them out and about exploring is so fun.

[@vivherman2296]

Ok, so I have watched this video a few times.....and have to say...just love it! I have had those feelings and it's hard to explain them . Love the hoophouse dance. I hope you will show us that again soon. We can tell how happy,and excited you are! Sooo happy for you! Wow! Yes it's a blessing to spread flower love.

[@daisyblooms4813]

Nicole, you are a sweet soul. So glad I found your channel.

[@deb135]

You are hilariously funny! LOVED THE OUTTAKES! Your hoop house is gonna be flooded with beautiful colour very soon!

[@AngiesPantry58]

I agree with you this world needs all the Beauty we can bring to it.. I can't wait to see how beautiful the flowers are going to look when they are in bloom.. So excited for you.. Big hugs. As all ways thank you for being you and making me smile and laugh in your videos..

[@cindyclark3969]

You are definitely bringing joy at a time when it is desperately needed.

[@chrishobsonwhalen5238]

Love your goofy side and love your reflective side. Mother Earth certainly does need more beauty, especially right now. Thank you for providing that beauty and like you said happiness for those that will have your flowers gracing their homes soon.

[@michelesimpson2237]

God Bless you Nicole. You have a beautiful singing voice

[@yourwardrobewhisperer4606]

I 💯 started flower farming to bring more beauty and joy to the world. I too get extremely emotional about it so thanks for sharing!

[@filmseedstudio1610]

I keep regular deliveries of cayenne pepper going through the year after seeing how fast it deterred every single rodent in the neighborhood. Lol. Also, rest up, mama. That’s gonna be a mega sore back for the first planting. So excited for you! I’ve got my low tunnel set up for the ranuncs that are screaaaaming for ground, but we have endless days of 35mph winds here - it’s our norm here in SD… This weekend though! The next ten days is looking epic! 🌻🌻🌻 Also, last year was the first time I sold bouquets to people - and it was to someone who won my donated bouquets at a cancer benefit for a friend… so I feel your words at the end of the video. Feeling how impactful these beautiful babies are is SO overwhelming. In the best way possible. Keep going, mama! Keep going.

[@jeanneamato8278]

Not only do your flowers bring smiles and joy but so does you. Thank you from the bottom of my still laughing and smiling heart.

[@rosee941]

Good luck little babies! Grow grow grow! If the pest deterrent doesn't work, maybe they could use those little shovels to fight off the voles?! 😉

[@mariafolch8067]

Nicole, it dawn on me that if you put those wires, at 16:09, crisscrossed, they would hold up better and not sag in between sections. Just a thought!!

[@aolson8185]

Best Q&A ever!!! 🤣 Also, I love your singing and how you make the songs fit the moment. 🎶❤️💗❤️🎶

[@stanamessinger2886]

I’m sooo thankful to have found you! You’re real 💕

[@bertildatolentino27]

Gardens is a balancing act. Good exercise and if your fingers are clean , your not having enough fun.

[@dustyacres]

I had a tear come up before you mentioned how emotional you are. Your enthusiasm is one of the wonderful things about folks around this great country we live in. Keep up the great work for the patrons in your area. They all deserve your gratitude.

[@matthewheeke4377]

You are an amazingly hard worker. Very self driven. Your flowers are always gorgeous. I can’t wait for the flower bars this summer.

[@QueenMotherRenee]

Grandpa says that you bring as much beauty to the world as your flowers. We were crying at this thought. Your honesty with your feelings that comes from the heart is as refreshing as your spring bouquets!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Awwwww Love you both

[@joannejohnson1945]

It is so important to be grateful. We are so lucky to be here, doing what we love.

[@johanernapoll3485]

Love your thoughts about the world need more beauty now. I am planting more flowers. More beauty

[@tammywinter9268]

You are such a hard worker, and wacky! But it’s fun….thank you for sharing your farm.

[@carolineholland4178]

Your videos are so much fun to watch you are such a laugh 😃 (this is a compliment in the UK) At the end of this one I cried, it was so emotional but you are right! Your flowers will bring a smile to so many people that may be feeling anxious about what is going on in their lives, in the world. You brighten up the lives of all your customers and all of your subscribers ❤ so thank you! I have been reading The Well Gardened Mind by Sue Stuart-Smith...your videos are just as therapeutic as this book and gardening itself especially on a wet and windy day. Your singing and theatrical performance is so much fun. 😍

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thank you so much Caroline

[@Cherryparfait41]

Love dirty fingers!! ♥️😅 our southern Ohio winter to spring sched is the same! Love that you’ve set yourself up with hoop houses! YAY!!YAY!! YAY!! Way to GROW!

[@banabajardine]

Thank you for this video! Great to see the plantings put in the ground and I think the grid pattern is awesome. Great idea! I didn't know this kind of product existed. 👌

[@FlowerHillFarm]

It's typically used to help support the plants, but it's helpful for other things too!

[@amyfilak5818]

Oh my gosh!!! I have goose bumps for you. And I so loved the Shoop song bits!!!! You inspire me and make me chuckle. Love it!!

[@MonicaKatie]

Wow, you still have a lot of snow in your area. I can see why the hoop house is very necessary. Funny to see the compost party 😂.

[@mollyo4213]

HOOP, there it is!! Great job Nicole!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Boom!

[@MinnTee]

Girl, you be crazy and I love it! Congratulations and thank you for bringing beauty to this earth!

[@carolhendley760]

I don’t think you have a clue how very inspiring you are! 💐I am so happy for you, I am purely tearing up. You’ve dreamed big and have worked so hard ( along with your awesome family) to see your dreams come true. This world needs a big dose of the beauty and joy you bring. Now I’m going to go sit in a corner and have a cry, the good kind of cry. Thank you for brightening my world. ❤️🌍❤️

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thank you Carol 💐

[@brendaalexandres6657]

Loved to listen to your reflection.

[@marilynramdhan6455]

Nicole, I watched this video 2x because you are so endearing! Your antics along with your great gardening content makes me so happy! Thank you!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I'm so glad!

[@maggiebucklin9520]

Thank you for your soul sharing, I also have been feeling a sadness and a need to plant for my soul and those whom I share with. Course mine is just tiny compared to yours if I get just one smile it's worth it! Thank you again!

[@New.phone.who.dis1286]

I love you. Seriously. You are the best gardening content creator there is. You’re so real. You aren’t afraid to show the mistakes. You’re so happy, outgoing and not afraid to be yourself. You’re my absolute favorite!!! Please don’t ever change!

Your enthusiasm is contagious. I love how you keep it real. You are a shining light in the world right now and we all need that now more than ever. Thank you!

[@rosepeerbolte3297]

Just had to watch this video again. My first hoop house arrives in a few hours and I am so stinkin excited! We have enough mild days in the forecast to get it set up before the next big freeze!

[@nikkichevere]

i would like you to know nicole that i spoke to longfield gardens regarding am order i placed this year and the associate i spoke w was amazing and she and i spoke about you and she is just like me and a huge fan!! between you and northlawn farm i just you beautiful ladies . but i thought it was neat that she watched you too!! i just want to thank you for always bringing joy into my life and making me laugh ..u never fail at that 🤣🤣 i literally had you videos play all day today while i was tilling and deweeding some new space.

[@danakenoyer106]

I do understand false springs! I live in zone 5b at 7200 ft in Colorado. We have our second false spring staring tomorrow lasting 10 days. I am sure we will have a 3 false springs before a couple days of true spring then boom summer. I winter snow and sow inside under lights. Now I am coveting your hoop house......in a nice friendly Gardener way.😍 If I lived close I would so come help you plant, sing and dance in the hoop house. Your reflection was spot on. What the world needs now is good food, good friends and a garden full of shrubs🪴🌿🌾☘️, flowers🌺🌹💐🥀🌻 and trees🌲🌲🌲🌳🌳

[@stephaniewarren9285]

Ditto ALL the things everyone said because I don’t want to cry as I type! Question: I have a spare fridge. What do you think about pre sprouting Ranunc’s in there to keep the cool temps? I struggle with not having a cool dry places to store things. It may be cool, but not dry or dry, but not cool! The struggle is real! 😩 Also, saw your shout out from Sunflower Steve in Roots and Refuge podcast! You girls have been a blessing to many! ❤️

[@heidiclark6612]

Hi Nicole. Just a idea for you regarding the voles. If you make a trench right out side the perimeter of your hoop house as close as you can to the sides and bury about 18 inches of chicken wire, it will take them longer to figure out how burrow in.

[@wildbirdfarm]

You have a beautiful soul 💜. And, speaking of voles, watch out for holes by the plants. We have a vole we are trying to catch in our hoop that digs up the corms and eats them. I’ve lost quite a few this spring - sneaky vole.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

My peonies are loaded with vole holes. That’s why I initially bought the repellex. No holes in the tunnel yet 🤞

[@sunflowersteve3940]

OMG. I think that was more bloopers than mine😄

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I left quite a few out. I was in a silly song mood yesterday 🤣🌻

[@juliepizzolato1911]

You certainly, beyond any doubt, bring beauty to this earth and to all of us lucky viewers...Loving all you share from North Idaho zone 6a 💚 🌻 🌿

[@susancramer5668]

What a nice friend to come and help you! Your rununculus is amazing. It is going to be so beautiful. So glad you got a hoop house. Your work ethic is second to none! Your dedication and sunny disposition are an inspiration to all of us.

[@virginiastephen6310]

I am so excited for you, Nicole!!! You and your family are doing absolutely amazing things! I can't wait to see all of the beauty blooming in that hoop house! I totally get the emotion and can connect with you on so many levels. I had a customer purchase two orange zinnias from me last year. She said it was in remembrance of her son who had passed. Orange was his favorite color. I got so emotional and it was in that moment that I truly realized how powerful flowers are. We aren't just growing flowers here. It's much more meaningful than that! Thank you for all that you share! 🙂❤️💐

[@leahjunkins988]

I absolutely love your videos, not only for the flower knowledge but for your SINGING voice! It is awesome and I hope you sing a lot. Best of luck with all of the hoop house plants.🌸

You bring so much joy to growing flowers! If I ever need a smile or a good laugh I watch your videos. With the added bonus of all your amazing flower knowledge! Sending abundance of flower growing vibes. 💚

[@NicolesGardenNS]

I've been watching you for a few years now, ever since I started searching how to grow Lisianthus from seed I think two years ago at least :) The lovely music makes me happy every time I see you have a new video. I'm so excited to see this new hoophouse! I can't fit one on my tiny urban property but it's a dream, for someday :) Here's hoping for a wonderful growing season!!

[@BushPoppyFarm]

That stuff should work. After rodents absolutely decimated my fall planted ranunculus I started using RepelsAll which is the same type of product(putrified egg solids, garlic, clove, thyme oil). Works great. No more visible rodent tunnels or activity. Good luck!
