I wish I didn't have to worry about snakes where we live, and walk through my garden like you do. Beautiful sunflowers!!

[@christiensgarden3325]

Nicole when I grow up (someday!!) I want to be just like you😂😂 You make my KZbin day 😂

[@janetzveare7459]

Loved this video! You are hilarious and always make my day! So jealous over your veggie garden. It’s super hot and humid here in Florida now, so the veggies are suffering a bit. Thank you for showing your harvest. 👩‍🌾❤️

[@kuchdilsecreationsbysonali9605]

Cherry peppers remind me of ur grampa filling peppers,eating half🤣😁soooo adorable 🤗🤗🤗

[@zakiakitchen5817]

Beautiful beautiful 😍👀👍

[@FLOWERSANDSLOTS]

SO GLAD you mentioned the hat. I WANT ONE!!! :) Those peppers look amazing! Well, everything does...who am I kidding. :)

[@camicri4263]

Awesome harvest, Nicole! 🤗💗🤗

[@patriciarichter2342]

Are you selling your hat.would like to buy one.

[@yoclark2723]

I think I'm 12 in the brain too. I noticed the butt right away. My tomato crop was decimated by blight but I got 6 pints of spaghetti sauce. I love Sunflower Steve's flowers! I got in on the sale early but won't plant till spring. I love harvesting and your patch is fabulous!

[@livegiverun9275]

You make me smile... in every single video :) Thanks for sharing your positive energy!

[@lchugh6187]

I love how excited you get while harvesting!

[@musicmixer787]

Wow, really wow. We don't have that kind of sunflower here in the Philippines. I like your style of gardening. You have ample of space

[@rubikitchengardening]

You are so pretty and your veggies so healthy great harvest

[@thegardnersgarden]

Those tomatoes look wonderful. Yum!

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

Love the bloopers!

[@chrispetersen6402]

I’ve been harvesting my tomatoes when they just start to color up. I put them in a basket and bring them inside. It’s been working great!

[@lindaalbano6868]

Thank you,you put sun shine in my day

[@ericjorgensen8028]

Fuzzy caterpillar reaction? Apply Common lawn Plantain leaf as is (you can chew it too, but that's a little icky) and it may help. Works on stinging nettle, bug bites...and more (!) Might work for the catepillars too... I'm not spelling that well tonight...or correctly

[@nicolethijs5428]

I wish we could buy Steve’s sunflowers in Europe!

[@cass77788]

beautiful peppers, there's nothing better than a great pepper to eat on your omelets, sandwiches, eat raw or cooked with anything...I was so happy to see sunflower steve's new van gogh sunflowers!!! wowza,,,they are perfection!! just gorgeous!! love the tomatoes as well (the butt one lol) Beautiful and bountiful harvest!! God bless!

[@kuchdilsecreationsbysonali9605]

Love ur singing,ur spirit and zest and do take us along for the bouquets making also🤗🤗🥰

[@RC-mc6rc]

I enjoy all your videos! Right up at the top of my favorites!

[@karenslater343]

Wow fantastic harvest

[@juliafiore120]

Great harvest, Nicole👏🏻👏🏻 Love Steve’s hat!😍😍 Great idea; plant up a trellis so you can snack while working outside 🙌🏻Brilliant 🤓

[@meridabowes3796]

Those still pictures of the harvest at the end were gorgeous 😍

[@christophertaylor9826]

Great harvest.

[@blackberrythistletea1534]

Acre Homestead sent me..loving your videos. I subscribed 🌻

[@Irishjay-gu5pb]

My Dad's been growing King of the North peppers two years in a row now and wow are they incredible!!! The plants are huge, extremely prolific, and extremely delicious! We love them, they've become a garden staple! Very easy to save seeds from too! ;) California Wonder is another one we grow too! :) Great stuff! Glad you're enjoying them!

[@SixAcresFarm]

Wow, what a good veggie haul. Makes me want to make stuffed bell peppers now. Gorgeous sunflowers 🌻

[@majoyap3403]

The butt tomato got me cracking. 🍅🤣🤣🤣 Love your veggie patch.. It's so productive ❤️

[@jwbowden674]

Made stuffed peppers with my first pepper harvest including tomato sauce from my own tomatoes! One of our favorite dishes! I will look for Long Hot and King of the North seeds for next years garden.

[@glenelkenfarm5577]

I love your videos I started coming here for the flowers but as a veggie lover I am so pleased to see some veggie content as well! Can’t wait for the nursery Reno content as well. Keep up the great work!

[@martystevens2313]

If the zuchinni gets too big, I deseed it and either marinate & grill it or make Katherine Hepburn's zuchinni soup recipe ( I'm vegan, so i have to modify it but it is still delicious!)

[@edenridgefarms]

I’m so glad I started following you. You absolutely crack me up and uplift my day!

[@wildfoxflowerfarm4480]

My goodness I love Steve's sunflowers omg they look like sunflower stars 🌟 🤩 💛 very beautiful 😍

[@GreenFamily2007]

I love seeing your veggies!!! You should make more videos showing your vegetable garden.

[@itsmewende]

Beautiful veg and sunflowers. My no dig guru Charles Dowding also mentioned Joe Gardener, said picking them green lets the plant put more energy into the plant instead of ripening tomatoes. I see veg for sale at Flower Hill Nursery.

[@n.w.414]

Fun In the veggie garden with Nicole! I think you need a wagon you can pull around when harvesting, Nicole.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

hahaha the wagon is currently full of flowers LOL

[@n.w.414]

[@BramptonGardener]

Those sunflowers are really amazing! Wow I love them.

[@venusgarden959]

Great job 👍👍👍👍

[@freakyjmt]

Harvested my first Steve’s bloom today! Amazing!!

[@lucpar23]

such a pretty harvest!

[@CarolineJensen]

I love them! Mine are smaller too as I planted them close. I love sunflower Steve’s sunflowers!

[@__rachel__ck]

I’ve been making stuffed pepper casserole and I personally enjoy that much more than stuffed peppers themselves. Much less stress with prep in my opinion

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I love your veggie garden jungle! Earlier tonight I sliced up a few yellow summer squash and friend them in butter with garlic and onions and sprinkled them with steak seasoning. SO yummy! And I don’t even really like summer squash.

[@DragonflyArtz1]

Exciting Sun Flowers!! You have a wonderful Veggie Garden! Tomato Sammies Mmmmm! I really just want to drive your 4 Wheeler all around your yard. Zooooom-----------------------------------

[@scottwhite4645]

Hello Miss Nicole ! I’m sure you get all sorts of recommendations for different varieties of flowers and vegetables… so here’s one more 😆 Like you I enjoy bell peppers and over the years I’ve tried at least 25 different varieties. I garden in WI zone 4b and two peppers which produce huge thick walled peppers are “Revolution” and “King Arthur”. They ripen from green to red and are great for making stuffed peppers. You can get them from Johnny’s and Seedway. Good Luck with your new project !

[@krisnugent1250]

great to know others snack while harvesting...if I take care of them then I get first dibs!

[@elashajackwitz3031]

Those sunflowers are gorgeous 😍 hopefully that variety will make their way to Australia, I’d love to be able to grow them.

[@kittiew260]

I can't wait. My 1st Steve about to open. Ty tips on his seeds. I was behind due to construction but I am waiting for the beauty. Awesome harvest I am almost to my tomato sandwich.

[@susiebates3577]

Your sunflowers are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing! Will you be having another seed sale?

[@dcsblessedbees]

That's a cool looking sun flowers, I want to grow those for my honey bees.

[@TheGardeningMe]

What an awesome harvest! I tried King of the North many years ago and it didn't do that well for me at all....but you've inspired me to give it another go next year. Thanks! 🙂

[@jeanneamato8278]

Such abundance!

[@jenniferapiary]

Wow🌻🌼

[@tjohnson1100]

Beautiful 🤩

[@EvieMasterton]

I just love your attitude

[@cassiec260]

I was sowing some Cherokee purple seeds when you mentioned them. I’m in the Southern Hemisphere so just getting started

[@anniecampbell8554]

Plant tags seem to be like socks in the washing machine for me - I know I had them at the beginning of the process but when I need them I cannot find them for love nor money! Most of my cucumbers seem to be ‘green’ or ‘yellow’ even though I know that as seeds they had more character…

[@nnagle9224]

I am trying Joe Lamp'l's pick it early too.

[@atefbasha1809]

How are you Nicole 💏💏💏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🐼🐨🐭💪🐨🙌🐔🐰🐘🌼🌷🌵🍎🌶🍆🐐🐑🐏🐂🐗🐽So so so much more too

[@songsgardensbyjenniferlynn3242]

I love your intro song ❤️

[@kmagslove3983]

Oh man!!! What a great harvest!!!! I lost ALL my Sunflower Steve sunflowers (100 of them) to a groundhog family. I was pretty crushed. They also dined on my zinnias and 450 dahlia plants. But I was most sad about my Sunflower Steve Sunflowers. Every last one of them was destroyed. Yours are so cool!!! How fun!!!! Also, Im a bit jealous your peppers are ready for picking. Mine are all SOOOO SLOW this season. How awesome that you can sell your extra produce at your new nursery and the market!!!

[@donutdomination139]

Oh man! 😩

[@cass77788]

i would have cried for a week after losing those SS seeds!!

[@HHeirloomIA]

I harvest tomatoes very similar to this...definitely to prevent all that you stated. Lay them on their shoulders in a box with newspaper. They ripen lovely. Haha, a plumber tomato😜🤣

[@alanamcguire1921]

Share your recipe for stuffed peppers in a video could be fun

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I will!

[@BramptonGardener]

Wow that that pepper plant is showing off.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Right! 🫑

[@gardeninfatuation964]

I hope your neighbors lock their cars cause that's enough Zucchini to start sneaking them in their vehicles 😆 🤣 😂

[@bathblooms]

Great video! After years of saying vine ripened is the only way I now try to get them at the first blush stage. The science says that soon after color appears the plant seals the fruit off and it just hangs around - kinda like a lazy teen 🙂🖖

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Yes! I’m trying to grab them early as well 🍅

[@cass77788]

good info !

[@pattymarquez7962]

Stuffed pepper soup is another way around not having the flat bottoms

[@FlowerHillFarm]

YUM!

[@jamiekelly5779]

Hi Nicole i have droped u a email about the nurserie and I hope u all the best

[@julieagain]

You should try Jess’s ( Roots & Refuge ) brown butter tomato sandwich. It’s a total game changer.

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

For Heaven's sake, lady, how do you manage to get everywhere, how many Nicoles are there?😂 My favourite summer meal is fried peppers and egg plants, layered lasagna style: peppers, some marinara sauce, chopped garlic and parsley, than egg plant the same way and so on... With a slice of feta or similar cheese.. a perfect meal! The best thing is it can be frozen in small boxes so you can have it in the winter as well!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Wow this sounds so good!

[@rebeccaglenn7169]

oh those sunflowers are incredible, when can we get them?!

[@triaschalari923]

I just remembered that my grandmother used to say to me to be careful around cucumber plants and not step on them, because they don't like it and then they produce bitter cucumbers!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Vengeful Veggies!

[@katrienvh4289]

Hi Nicole, nice harvest! Ever thought about growing "Long trailing" zucchini ? They are great climbers and produce a lot.

[@Cainm01223]

Thanks for sharing Sunflower Steve’s blooms. They are gorgeous! Are they sterile or will they self seed if left alone? Thanks!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Do you know where sun flower Steve is located in Wisconsin? I would love to do a drive by when we visit friends in September. I love to see fields of sunflowers in bloom. I didn’t get any planted this year but I’m making plans for an area in my small garden to show case them next spring. 🌸💚🙃

[@marydrew3568]

We have had such a cold and rainy spring that everything in my garden is so late! I just harvested our broccoli today. I cannot grow a pepper to save my life and I can't figure out why! 🤔

[@robindavis4843]

OMG!

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Lush ish ❤️💚❤️

[@kiajohnson8595]

I have a landscape rock that looks like your special tomato It is in our front yard special feature facing the road and I have named it 'kiss my a$$'

[@jamiekelly5779]

Hahahah

[@debrabray8855]

What a gorgeous harvest! Summer gardens are non existent in south texas, so I'm looking forward to the fall garden. So many things to grow!

[@dksgardenoasis]

Share your Italian sauce please. I have San Marzano's too! Love the video...It's vege a plenty time now...I have a lot of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and 1st time growing shishito peppers. Potatoes are starting to flower and patiently waiting for my dahlias (1st time growing).

[@gumdropgardens]

"Harvest on the table" made me laugh harder than the tomato butt and I don't understand why.

[@LittleGardenBigDreams]

First today 🤣🤣🌸xx Cathi xx

[@cherylcarlson3315]

My tomatoes are not setting near as well with temp swings and none near even pink zone 5b. So want BLT!

[@risalangdon9883]

Hey Nicole 👋. Question?? Watching on my phone so can't zoom much. But is the hat you are wearing part of your merchandise??? It's really cute.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

It's Sunflower Steve's logo! He will be selling the hats soon, I'll keep you all posted!

[@squashit339]

Can I ask what garden shoes you're wearing? Fun video!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

These are low bogs 👍

[@lesliem3]

Your yellow squash are beautiful! What variety are they with that stripped color??

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Goldmine

[@mrlang30]

Our Nadapeno's tastes like a regular lunchbox green pepper. Did I pick it too early?

[@FlowerHillFarm]

I think they're supposed to be pretty mild tasting. I haven't harvested one yet!

[@katipohl2431]

What's the name of the sunflower variety you show in the beginning?

[@gardingyrl3501]

Do you still have your tulips and daffodils available

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Sorry, the tulip sale closed a couple days ago! I have not offered daffodils but that might be in the near future

[@coxhomestead545]

Do you stuff the peppers then freeze them?

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Yes!
