You're so authentic I love it. You made me smile and laugh and go ooooh over the flowers. I know what you mean about the magic of white. It's pure and gorgeous.

Cool season cover crop: daikon radish! Also breaks up the soil. I also wanted to share that my glads are FINALLY sending up flower spikes.

Yay Peggy! So happy to hear. I'm definitely reading up on that radish. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Nicole, I came across your channel not too long ago while watching one of gardenanswer video's. Now I am addicted 😂😂. I binge watch your videos now Lol. You pour your heart ❤️💜 out in these videos.. How can anyone not like them?? Love from France ❤️💜

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thank you so much 💜

[@itsallaboutlight]

I know I'm watching a flower farmer when they harvest the flower and immediately strip the leaves off... in preparation for a bouquet. 😆

[@ElderandOakFarm]

I would love to have all of those honeysuckles & stuff you have on your property!

[@craftyfoody]

I enjoyed that video so much. Thank you for your delightful personality, Nicole. Also, I appreciate the tips about when to pick.

I truly enjoy this blog so much. I feel you are so down to earth , friendly and funny. Yes, you should do soil solarization and than grow cover crops. I just finished solarization and soon I am starting on cover crops soon. Your flowers looks beautiful 🏵️ ! Very cute baby too and congrats on new addition to family. 🥳

[@kendastaudenmaier3689]

I enjoy your videos so much!

[@dawnd9222]

Do you listen to the Porch and Prairie podcast on flower farming.? I HIGHLY recommend that podcast. Start from the first one and go all the way to the last. A true eyeopener for all flower farmers.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I'll check it out! Thank you- I need some good car audio

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Oh how I would love some of those viburnum, crops apples, & oh especially Honeysuckle! Those are so nostalgic for me. I remember them being around my grandmas house when I was younger, before she passed & pulling out & eating the nectar. They can be invasive here in Indiana if not controlled though.

I watched a lot of your videos before "the seed was planted" 🤭 in my brain to start a cutflower garden, so now I'm rewatching because I didn't pay attention to the flowers the 1st time! 😂 (I mean I paid attention to them of course, but didn't pay attention to the varieties- like the bee balm- I didn't realize that was good for cutting)

The Blooms were beautiful! And that little bud....Amelia James....well...she was the best little blossom of the day! Happy that you got to enjoy her! Did anyone buy your mixed up Zucchini? I’d like to bread and fry that up if they didn’t....or maybe zucchini meatballs? Really enjoy following your videos! I look forward to each new one. Good job getting Brad on camera. He’s a man of few words but capturing him wearing your logo says it all!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

You can have the zucchini! Come get it 🥰

[@QueenMotherRenee]

I fried up that mixed up zucchini with garlic, black pepper, a few pads of butter along with olive oil. Inside was more like a yellow squash. Paired it with a regular zucchini and it was Delicious!!!

You should add some winter berry in your landscape

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I have 100 winter berries planted in a lower field but I should add some to the landscape by the house for fun!

[@onetwocue]

@@FlowerHillFarm awesome! I love winterberry. I'm a landscape designer. From Philly and love using that plant. I don't flower farm yet, but I plant flowers that are beneficial to our pollinators. They do love all the herbs I planted. Have you thought about using canna and using their leaves as greenery? Cannas add that tropical touch and the leaves last about a week. Especially if you get the yellow green foliage type. Also I hear that coleus make a great foliage filler and will also root in the vase for anyone who cares about that

[@ruthaskea6110]

I would love to know what the side pocket thing you wear when you pick flowers is? I assume you put tools in it.

Good morning! Just discovered your channel today, great content! 👍👍👍 Random question: You mentioned that deer have eaten your wildflowers, how are you planning to combat them? I am trying to start one this upcoming spring and foresee having the same problem. :-( Are those solar repellents (13:29) on green posts by your sunflowers?

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Yes, those are solar repellents by the sunflowers! To combat deer in my Wildflowers I will be buying different deer resistant seed next year 💐

[@davidmitchell1304]

Can you surround your beds with things deer hate and then around that put things they like? Kinda feed them, then they hit something yucky and turn away. Just thinking

[@shinedivine9796]

I had a dream last night that Sean got me a bouquet of your flowers and Jason Mimoa for my birthday 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 which isn’t til January. I’m not sure which I liked more 😶😳🤣

[@shinedivine9796]

ALSO... we postponed our wedding Bc of Covid but I think this would be amazing for my bouquet. My aunt is a florist so I could choose and purchase the flowers from you and have her arrange them 🥰😍🌹

[@FlowerHillFarm]

What month???? I'd love to provide buckets for that 💞💐🌻

[@shinedivine9796]

Flower Hill Farm we’re having a real hard time planning on when. His one sister has to fly in from Vancouver and Covid making that impossible with the 14 day quarantine. Also we have elderly (his mom and my grandparents) that would be too scared to come. Ugh. Prob next summer. I def will go thru u for flowers tho!! OH andddds his brother is trying to plan his wedding for next summer also so this is a nightmare lol

Let me check for you...I'll try it on my son's head 😂

[@sharonjennings1282]

Approximately how many flowers should you have to open a bouquet bar for the day? I know that's kind of random but what would your suggestion be for the first time trying it?

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I couldn't tell you stem count but I'm not comfortable doing a bouquet Bar with fewer than 6 buckets of flowers. Even then I will occasionally have to run out to the fields and cut more.

[@WeLiveALot]

Strange question. But I have to ask. That music you play quietly when you talk. It sounds so familiar but I cant put my thumb on it. Would you be willing to share what it is?

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Hi! It's a piece of music I found while scouring the KZbin audio library last year. It is called Fresh Fallen Snow. I fell in love with it and I don't think I can ever change it now! 🥰

[@WeLiveALot]

@@FlowerHillFarm Its a great tune. My wife and I have been doing some research on starting a cut flower garden and your channel has been awesome. I found myself humming that tune. Keep up all the great work, your videos are great! And thank you for responding!

[@gillianmuspic2337]

You made me laugh when you said some people wanted the mis-shapen blooms it reminded me of going with my mom to a rose farm to get blooms for my sister's wedding bouquet. The farmer kept wanting to cut the perfect long stemmed blooms but she wanted ones with more personality and bent stems. It was made worse because he didn't speak English. He finally allowed her the stems she chose and was reassured (sort of) when we showed him pictures of the final product🌾

[@brittneyruss3307]

What are the Honeysuckle bush things called? Because where I’m from a honeysuckle is a vine. And I’ve looked for the bush with the orange berries but idk what to look up because I just get a vine when I look it up.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

They are just Honeysuckle Bushes. They are invasive here in New York- not vines at all. I know there are honeysuckle vines- these are different. My bushes can grow up to 15 feet tall here. Here is some info and pics from the New York State website nyis.info/invasive_species/honeysuckle/

[@brittneyruss3307]

Thank you! I love the look of them!

share your potato salad recipe 8)

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Sure! Super simple. I don't measure anything. A few pounds of potatoes (enough for a large bowl) I usually chop up 6 or 7 slices of bacon. 4 or 5 chopped hard boiled eggs, and at least a cup of thawed frozen or fresh peas. Canned are too mushy. Then add mayonaide and garlic salt to taste. The best!
