I Literally Have No Words : Zinnia Germination Update : Flower Hill Farm

[@crt9082]

Hey if you just do a whole video with no talking and just showing progress i would still enjoy it !!

[@karenm5681]

That lighting really does bring out your stunning eyes. Ice blue is right! Beautiful.

[@katiegray14]

I’m a huge fan of Floret, so I probably wouldn’t mention this other than she’s not selling seeds this year. But Johnny’s is selling (NEW!) zinnia seeds that are similar in colors to a couple of Erin’s varieties!

[@DigginandDoin]

I peeped that on their site too.

[@DigginandDoin]

I had some zinnia seeds overwinter and emerged in my yard near the flower bed where I planted them earlier this year. I dug them up and moved them to one of the beds and they’re still blooming. Zone 7A in Virginia.

[@stevo4535]

Your intro song always gives me peace. Love your content

[@sunitashastry5270]

Rest up, girl, sorry to see you like this.Looking forward to all your items!

[@emptychallice]

Rest your voice! I once lost mine completely just from stress!

[@jordonsflowerfarm]

Hey Nicole! Did you see Johnnys new zinnia seeds? Amazing!!!! You gotta check them out!

[@wordvendor1]

Johnny's has some great new comparable zinnias!

[@kittiew260]

[@pamspreutels1473]

The Johnny's new Zinnias look lovely!

[@janiceweber5621]

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

I have tons of Zinnia seeds I harvested from last spring. Looking forward to planting them in the spring. You need some hot tea witj honey for your throat. Get well soon❤

[@timothykrott7248]

I planted zinnia seeds in my germination chamber. They are viable and growing.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Great!

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Your videos make me so happy.

[@lindahopkin]

Feel better soon Nicole

[@camicri4263]

Blessings!

[@BramptonGardener]

I'm so glad they're germinating. I checked my seeds (not floret) but they were so thin, nothing inside I didn't bother saving.

[@cbak1819]

Nicole.. I'm glad to hear you are recovering. I received the feild Guide from dr. Armitage today🎉 thanks a bunch for recommending it. I heard you could start early and pinch them/Zinnia, several times by the way.. i put out in May after frost..they lasted until late Oct. they even went through 1 or two light frosts. You should keep it going and see what happens😄

[@billshanks1419]

Ginger and honey in your tea. Feel better soon.

[@RobertGreen-v3d]

Take care girl, we lv ya 😊

[@MattTheVegan]

Hope you feel better soon! 💚

[@BramptonGardener]

ohhhh gosh don't strain!!!!! I lost my voice last year and it was wild!!!! hahaha Yes I'd forget and literally nothing came out, NOTHING it was so difficult. I used a text to voice app on my phone haha. same I had no other symptoms just lost my voice. glad you're doing better.

[@arealtorwitharescuepurpose1875]

❤ feel better

[@hanna7644]

Hoop house! 🎉

[@rebeccamclaughlin4992]

Can your Aunt Jan paint a hand painted Flower Hill Farm ornament we could buy? Would be so cool to have a new design with the year on it each year!

[@reneemartin5558]

Used to wake the kids up with loud thumping club music. Happy jam music, almost club music, but at G (Disney) level.

[@ReadingintheRedwoods]

I also lost my voice this week! It sounds like we got the same thing. REST!!!

[@lisahahn173]

your eyes are piercing today. 🤩

[@dameannemac]

Were those rain clouds in the background? We haven't had a drop of rain in 40 days. Serious wildfire danger here in the Catskills. Yes,your eyes are ice blue. Stay well.

[@sunmoonrise]

There are days when Nicole reply to my comment...i miss those time ❤

[@mraereed]

I had laryngitis in my 20s! It's so frustrating trying to communicate! I had to try to find my sister in a night club! 😂

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

Take care of yourself and family. We can wait for videos.

[@parkerallen848]

You kinda sound like Jennifer lawrence 😂 hope you get better soon!!

[@Edu_Kate]

Ugh! I understand losing one's voice. Get in some extra rest. I must have an addiction. As soon as you said peony roots, my ears perked up. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I have lots of peonies and it's pretty late to be planting in Minneapolis. I'm excited for the three I got this year. Two are super fragrant Duchesse du Comtesse and the other is an Itoh Julia Rose variety. I may or may not get blooms next spring as they're young. Happy planting.

[@angelhelen84]

I missed Floret saying they are not selling zinnia seeds this year, do you know why?

[@michelleemerson6253]

Nicole, did you see the orb go behind you as you were talking? Start watching at 4 minutes and 11 seconds.

[@jeantuthill4977]

Grampa's with you, Nicole! ❤

[@rgrdesigns]

Could the slow germination be due to cool temperature in your basement? Get well soon. Excited to see how things progress.

[@helenlatimer9230]

Hot lemon honey paracetamol and REST! REST! REST! ❤

[@crt9082]

Btw maybe you needed a heat mat for the zinnias ?

[@FlowerHillFarm]

It's 72 in my basement so I opted out of using it for just the one pot. I also didn't think it would translate to much heat because of how deep the soil was compared to the soil blocks or smaller cells I typically use. I'll definitely use the heat mats in the spring!

[@RhondaVagt]

What kind of lights (on the grow rack) are you using ? where are you purchasing them ? Get well soon take care of you !

[@juliemaloy2138]

Nicole, I have many unopened packs of Floret zinnia originals from this year that I did not use. Can I send you some?

[@micheleparisio6573]

Hi, I thought it was illegal to reproduce flowers for commercial benefits? What does Florets say.

[@memethomas5402]

But keep in mind..Your seeds are open pollinated...maynot be anything like a FloretFlower originally planted.

[@mariefradette7220]

Where did Brad get your compost from?

[@dottiesworld979]

Does anyone know why Floret isn't selling seeds next year

[@susanmason3432]

Please rest your voice. I would enjoy seeing video of your team working with short description typed in.

[@drekfletch]

I heard Kale-nders at first.

[@SandieLaTrace-f2e]

Laryngitis is not nice to get I've been there and have had that take care of your self. I have a question for you about your grow lights. What is the brand name of your grow lights?

[@mraereed]

Wait, should I be starting my zinnia seeds in mid-Michigan if I want to plant them out in the spring?

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Nooooo. I was just doing a germination test to see if the seeds I collected were viable!! No worries. I start mine only a few weeks before planting them outside.

[@mraereed]

@FlowerHillFarm Ok ok thanks! I just ordered a whole garden full of seeds and tubers! I can't wait to get started! you've truly inspired this old lady's heart. 🙂

[@syntychiahintsin-tee-shaks2256]

This was a weird year for Zinnias. Normally they would germinate without issue. I got almost zero zinnias. Hopefully 2025 will be better.

[@juliepuhr9806]

I didn’t have great luck this year either , central illinois

[@syntychiahintsin-tee-shaks2256]

@ Long Island NY. It was so strange. I’m buying new seeds this year.

[@Thingys-Jill]

Maybe you should check the Lost & Found at the nursery for your voice?! LOL Feel better.

[@sallysham2676]

Full of Ticks …. in my slings of Vermont Compost last 2 years! Nightmare. FYI

[@mraereed]

Get chickens. We had 33 of them up until a couple of years ago. Our tick population has doubled since we downsized. We now have 4 and will be adding eight more in the spring. I'm thinking about just letting them loose in my hoop house every once in awhile.b

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Yikes!😮
