Planting Ranunculus in the Hoophouse : Flower Hill Farm

[@nataliefaulkner9835]

Go Ash! Good to see ya girl!

[@iamorganicgardening]

Just a Ideal. To help you do less weeding on the hoop hut. Use all the cardboard boxes you got in for plants and cut it down and lay it flat and hold it down with your old concrete bench tops at the nursery.

[@bdog5369]

Terrible for mice.

[@judymckerrow6720]

I hold cardboard down with landscape pins. 🪻💚🙃

[@a444mo]

Cardboard contains PFAS from what I've recently read. It's a shame because I've stockpiled a bunch for garden use, but I can't justify it now.

[@carols1030]

She grows flowers in the hoophouse so any contents in the cardboard wont matter here.

[@vivherman2296]

Here it comes....I love ranunculus! Trying them again this yr. Funny, I remember, when a woofer was part of a stereo speaker. Yes..yep......anyone? Ok..gonna look great guys!!!! Rock on!!

[@patblaney3895]

Top of the morning to you your doing a grand job there

[@karenschwartz5209]

👍 Great job!😊

[@athomas897]

I love how you aren’t afraid to ask for help AND you have a community of family and friends that are willing to help. ❤BTW the WOOFER program is great. My son has been a WOOFER before. Went to Vermont had a life changing experience.

[@jcking6785]

Oh my, that final shot of the hoop house in full blooming glory… 🩷🩵💙🤍🧡❤️💛💚

[@loriswain8140]

Nicole, your positive attitude is refreshing content! You also have some great friends & family to help! Enjoy your well deserved afternoon off!

[@susancramer5668]

Love Ash…and Spencer…and Ethan…and of course all The Pitts!

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

My ranunculus corms grew marvelously under grow lights. Now I have to wait to plant them outside when our Z8a weather warms. My first time with ranunculus so very exciting.

[@DylanShumway-hs3mm]

I wonder if those seeds in the compost are the remnants of what the mice stole from your seed stash! Maybe if you grow them on you can recover some of your stock!🙃

[@nikkichevere]

These are some of my favorite videos each year the hoop house planting!!!

[@sonya359]

Ranunculus is my absolute FAVORITE flower! 🪻🌼🌺 I just found you, can’t wait to watch your videos.

[@darmuehlhausen5167]

Wow, I would lay plastic down around the outer edge of your hoop house to keep all the weeds from coming in.😊

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Love, love, love that you had help and didn't have to overwork:)))

[@tuansimplelife]

The dome is really convenient for growing flowers and vegetables. You are a wonderful, beautiful and good person! Wishing you lots of health and luck in life ❤🎉😊

[@lindaparra6002]

I love this video. I've never heard of a program where you can help a student learn by volunteering. Love it!... Can't wait to see your flowers.......Continued Blessings!

[@relaxingnatures81]

Can't wait to see your hoophouse full of flowers again❤

[@jcharris6557]

I just realized Ash has pearls on! :) How absolutely ADORABLE! I love that she is sparkly for the ranunculus.

[@lindajarvis4919]

When things overwinter, it’s always a pleasant surprise You look very pretty in your green pullover.

[@barbarafegley5566]

Your ranunculus have such large healthy roots.

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

So relaxing to watch, Can't wait to see it bloom.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Love the end result of the high tunnel. Lot's of hard work!

[@ginnysulya9805]

Hi Nicole so excited to see your beautiful ranunculus! Have you thought about possibly using the cardboard from the flooring in the greenhouse aisle and covering it with wood chips from the downed tree branches? Not like you don’t have any other things to do but maybe you could see if Brad would be interested! 😉🤗

[@patty-m2d]

How about a good cardboard layer and woodchips on the edges of the tunnel? Works for me and free for you with all of the cardboard you have and arborists will drop it for free.

[@cbak1819]

That's it! I'm calling you hummingbird.. as you flitter around😄

[@deno.520]

❤

[@kellysnyder7224]

Wow look at those “thick” roots baby got back. Lol. Little in the middle but got much back. Haha. I love u Nicole n friends n I just know this growing season is gonna b magical for u n ur family

[@BramptonGardener]

Wow that's an amazing transformation. Those ronoculous are huge.

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Loved seeing the clips from the hoophouse last year! A hoophouse full of ranunculus is the most beautiful sight ever! Tonya from "Tonya, with the flowers" always had beautiful clips like that in her videos, & they are what made me fall in love with Ranunculus. It looks like a bed full of dollops of sherbet oce cream! It made me go and look back at clips from mine last year. Last year was my 3rd year growing them, & I had finally figured out the PERFECT time to plant them (not too early, not too late) & had the BEST year! Unfortunately, I followed suit this year, the the weather didnt?!? Already having days in the MID 70's!?! 🥴 (Indiana)

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Awesome! 💪🏽💕💪🏽

[@arnorrian1]

Just got Metabo sprinkler gun GB 7, amazing! Got a fine minster, jet, cone, and more.

[@melindamackesey2786]

Ever consider Saratoga sod compost? Comes in a huge 2,000 lb tote, really great compost for large quantity users

[@susancramer5668]

Category 7!! 😂🤣😂

[@amamo22]

Question why didn't you till it into the old soil?

[@Elizabeth45840]

💜💜💜

[@Mimi-gj1fq]

& the 😎swag is back😂🤣

[@jeanettehawkins7472]

Wish I had the extra room for a woofer

[@punkinpumpkin09]

Great video, what is your spacing?

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Four inches

[@DragonflyArtz1]

I think I need to buy a mean ole junk yard dog to keep the squirrels away this year! Ha! You know they dug up and ate some very expensive bulbs and tubers last year! I found the evidence all around my yard. I snidely said "I hope you enjoyed your 12 dollar snack!" I had to cover my planted pots with hardware cloth! Sheesh! 230 frustrations of a Gardener! Imonna write a book! It's squirrel huntin season! Don't spray my fur coat guys! I paid for it!

[@stephaniewarren9285]

Great timing! I had just picked up my phone to ask this question on a random video, and was pleasantly surprised you were planting ranunculus. This will be my first time putting ranunculus out in March. Have you ever had any trouble with freezing? I'm Zone 5a Maine and the lowest low in ten days is 25. I do have protective hoop tunnels. Do you think that will be enough? Also, when do you typically get your first blooms planting early? I have a June wedding to do.

[@FlowerHillFarm]

They are fine uncovered down to the early 20F. Cover them if it is going to be close. Blooms are 90 days from planting (pre-sprouting counts)

[@stephaniewarren9285]

@@FlowerHillFarm Yes, I always pre-sprout, but I've never put them out this early...well...because...Maine weather ugh! Thank you! I will have my tunnels at the ready! You rock! 🙌

[@cathyhatfield5340]

😎👍❤️❤️❤️❤️👍

[@bradpitt3225]

First viewer.

[@zeniazenia2787]

Is the SUPER dry condition in the hoop house needing extra water every day?. I’m worried

[@jennypatterson6660]

How did you cut the holes in the Dewitt cloth?

[@lyla.aisle.of.blooms]

🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈

[@JesseK-rj4wx]

I wish people who make these videos would ditch their sunglasses. Why aren’t u using a dibble to make the holes for the plants?
