Things Will be Different in 2025... - Updates 023

[@wimhance6541]

You've created a considerable library of films, and they remain here. I can only express my gratitude for all your work. If it's time for personal and professional growth, then I wish you well and hope you derive every positive achievement, success, and satisfaction from it. It's healthy to evolve and embrace change. Good luck, thank you, and we'll see you when we see you.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thank you so much for that wonderful note of understanding. When I commit myself to something, I really like to give it real time; and know when I feel it needs more attention. I also value quality, and if I feel that may be slipping because I'm doing too many things, then I know it's time to really refocus. And I'll still be here to do more videos on 'Plant One On Me' throughout the year, I just know it'll be at a lower frequency than folks are accustomed to. But I think the new "stealth" project that I'm working on will really resonate with a lof of folks here too, especially since it too is plant-related.

[@damonroberts7372]

Please, no need to apologise for keeping your work schedule sane. :) Thank you so much for the high quality content you upload.

[@angela86753]

I will take whatever I can get. I found you during lockdown, your plants and Brooklyn apartment have been such an inspiration 🧡🌿

[@summerrayneoakes]

I love that; and love that you found the channel during a trying period of history. Luckily we'll be around on both channels producing here and there; and I think between both channels, there are probably close to 1200 videos, so definitely feel free to binge watch! I trust that what we're working on now will be of great interest to folks going forward as well, we just need the time to focus on them to 'Get 'Em Done!" as they say :) My best to you.

[@King_of_carrot_flowers]

I completely adore Flock - it's my favourite thing ever on KZbin. May I suggest some simple, raw videos on Flock just giving us a little tour to see how things are growing.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Well, I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying the other channel. I will definitely try to do more casual tours, as I had done in the former chicken coop / dove coop, just to give folks some status updates. It's tougher now in the upper 'Common House', b/c as you'll see in the next video, it's in full on reno mode. And yes, the plants are being shuffled back and forth in the middle of it, so I think come spring time, there will be hosing a lot of plant leaves down from the dry wall dust! Thanks for watching. Totally appreciate it and am thankful for your patience.

[@suburbanhomestead]

In other words, we all know you are going to launch a broadway show: "Let it Rayne"😝

[@summerrayneoakes]

Hahah. OMG. Just as long as I'm not IN the show. 'Cuz I definitely can't sing; and only some would say I can dance!

[@Emiley.15]

Summer as a long long time viewer I enjoy your potting plants and thrifting locally. I don’t see the need to go to different states and countries to show botanical gardens. People like your old videos more. I always look at how many people are watching and the videos you make potting plants and showing NY state areas with people making different things is more interesting to me. I live in NYC and NY state is so beautiful and have hidden gems.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Well that's lovely to hear. I'm glad you like the local stuff. It's obviously a bit easier to shoot (unless we happen to be in another area-and then we always try to make the most of it). I think once all of our spaces are set up here, it'll be a lot easier for us to do 'normal' things. Right now, the space upstairs is just a mad house, as it's just dusty and in full renovation mode, so it's really hard to concentrate on anything else when that is happening. It's always such a milestone when a room gets finished and there's some semblance of order again. But yeah, we'll likely be sticking more locally to do videos on both channels. And in the meantime, I'm really enjoying the time I've allotted to focus on 'stealth' project. It's plant-related so I know folks will really enjoy it when it manifests itself. Thank you for your understanding. And stay warm in this crazy cold NY weather we're having at the moment! :)

[@monit4976]

Balance is much needed. You only have one of you.🎉

[@rosegold6270]

I just miss your old content. Good luck with the future plans.

[@sharonknorr1106]

Chasing the ever-changing algorithms seems to be driving a lot of creators crazy, happy that you are able to let go of that. Looks like this is the year of "getting things done/finished" and that is not compatible with constant vlogging, so you guys need to keep your eyes on the prize - we will be there no matter what. In spite of everything going on in our country and the world today, I am trying to keep an optimistic outlook on the year ahead knowing that tending my garden will always be an oasis of calm no matter what else is going on. Looking forward to whatever you can share.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Same here. Really am just a pragmatist and optimist at heart, so I'm with you. I am not really gardening though at the moment because it's SO cold outside, but focusing on this new project indoors at the moment feels really good. I'm glad that you understand that sometimes things just need to get done-and then once they are-it's a new time to blossom. Sort of like the energy that sits in a tuber or bulb during the cold season and then it comes back more prolific the next season....

[@smokert2241]

Take the needed time. We’ll be here anxiously awaiting for the new project. Thank you for all your videos!!

[@LeeRichardson808]

I just found your channel a couple weeks ago. I truly love and appreciate all the care and information in them, and they are wonderfully shot and edited as well. Sounds like a lot of exciting things to work towards in 2025. Best of luck with all the work ahead!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Nice to see that folks are still coming across the channel. Well I guess between 'Plant One On Me' and Flock Finger Lakes-there are over 1200 videos that you can watch! haha. But yeah, I'm really loving the time right now to focus on the other projects. It's funny-when you give yourself the permission to do something, it feels as if a weight is lifted. But I know if we get through these two projects, it'll be really great for other folks too down the line. Thank you for your good juju and well wishes!

[@musicalmarion]

Summer good luck to you in your 9 month project and I'm so pleased you are taking this time to work on it. Thank you for such great videos and take care, I'm sure many, many people will be waiting to see you again soon ! ♥

[@elizastuart2228]

I love seeing you grow and evolve! It’s natural that your work and content would change over time. Best of luck on your many projects!

[@JaxNoodle]

My appreciation to Plant One on Me and Flock Fingerlakes content is more than I can afford in one cash donation. Glad to hear team is taking a well-deserved hiatus from long-form content, if you guys decide to take a full hiatus of all content is totally understandable. You guys are ahead of NatGeo and HGTV when it comes to production value and informative content. Muchismas gracias/Thank you very much for taking us along your cool, hard-working journey!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Ahhh, well thank you so much for the tip. That is so sweet of you. It'll be put to good use. We really enjoy creating the videos and will definitely continue forward with that-on both channels and on our IG and TikTok; but I'm also really enjoying fuller concentration on these other projects. It's funny but when you give yourself the permission to concentrate, it really puts things in motion. Thank you for your good thoughts and have a lovely New Year.

[@corrieb8106]

It makes sense to put your life back in balance. I will still re-watch all the content you have produced so far and any new videos you can make. I hope your new project makes you happy.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thanks for writing in Corrie. Glad that what we've produced is still interesting and relevant. We won't be going anywhere on either channel thankfully, so you'll see more here. But yea, it's really nice to give myself permission to focus on some of the new projects too. Good things take time; and I think once they are both manifested, it'll give new ways for folks to engage and interact. Thanks for writing in.

[@mollys1584]

You do you! I'll be here whenever you do post. Thanks for everything, Summer! ❤

[@summerrayneoakes]

thank you so much Molly. Glad you can understand!

[@mollys1584]

@summerrayneoakes Always Summer! Life is change and growth just like our plants have taught us! Best of luck on your new project. ❤️

[@kaybeepal]

I have always enjoyed your plant content and especially the ones of you traveling and talking to experts in the field. That’s always been what drew me to you because you were doing something different than everyone else so I can’t wait to see what comes next and I hope you succeed in getting your new projects off the ground.

[@raselbx]

Thanks for all of the stories and insights you shared with us. I know it’s not goodbye but we definitely understand that you have a “full plate” and you have to redirect your time. Whenever you post, we’ll be watching. Peace.

[@joyejohnsonauthor]

Your channels are unique in the plant/home reno Tube-iverse; I have thoroughly enjoyed watching and following the progress of Flock. It's important to have a work/life/creative work balance! Both channels are fantastic and even if you stepped away permanently, there is a plethora of great content for which I am heartily grateful. You got me through the pandemic, inspiring me to start a container garden that's still going strong :))))

[@summerrayneoakes]

Ah that is so nice to hear that you have a container garden that came out of it. Well, I'm definitely not going anywhere on either channel, it'll just be a little less frequent. Entering into the 'Get $hit Done Mode' feels really good right now and I definitely feel that I'm making progress now that I've given myself the permission to step back a little bit. Thank you so much for the note!

[@markfeliu2206]

Thank you Summer for updating us on your plans. Good luck in all your endeavors, you are a wonderful person. Take care.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thanks so much for your support, it really means a lot. Have a lovely New Year and I'll see you here!

[@cactusjoe]

Thanks for the updates and wishing you lot's of success and fun with your two main projects this year! Best of luck!

[@RGL86ful]

Always so inspiring regardless of the content you post, your entire journey is full of knowledge and we are grateful no matter the number of posts per month. Thank you for being our inspiration and good luck with all of the new ongoing projects to come! Happy New Year! 🫶🫶🫶💚💚💚❤️❤️❤️

[@vlong7112]

Can't wait to hear more about the project!! You've been an inspiration over the years! I found you during lockdown and have learned *so much* from you! I distinctly remember your plant taxonomy video and the spark that was lit in me. I love my houseplants and have expanded to native plants in my little garden. It's a newly developed dream of mine to own more land and restore native habitat 🥹 Take the time you need.

[@summerrayneoakes]

I really love to hear that. I often say that houseplants are really the 'shoe in' to appreciation for plants and life outdoors; and it seems as if you are proving that statement. I'm also really glad to hear that you nerded out more on the plant taxonomy side of things. When I was doing more mainstream tv, there was always the desire to "dumb it down" for the masses; but what I found through YT is otherwise-there are lots of folks who are really looking for more scientific information. It can be both 'sciencey' and approachable. And also love that you have a dream to restore native habitat. I felt the same way, and found my friends to do that with, so keep that dream moving forward.

[@francineh.7825]

Thank you for this update and I wish you all the best on your project.

[@grannyplants1764]

Hi Summer, I’ve been following you since your Brooklyn apt days with sweet Kippee, I never knew how cool chickens could be til I saw how you both interacted in your apt! And you forgot to mention your book Style Naturally, I enjoyed that one also. You have so many wonderful videos, I personally would not mind you uploading one or two videos from the beginning in the Brooklyn apt. each week, lots of folks have probably not seen them…very cool that you will be taking time off to bring us something special. Hugs to you, and also Saunder 🤗🪴💚 ❄️☃️🥶

[@elsao1690]

Happy 2025 to you as well. Well said Summer, things are rough but the tide changes and this is what we have to remember.

[@esthersanchez2264]

Hi Summer, ❤ Everything that U have shared with us viewers has been so interesting and educational. I am amazed at all the energy and professionalism U and Saunders possess. To me U are an inspiration and a lighthouse to a vision of hope for things to come. Respectfully appreciating all of Ur well thought out projects and wishing U and Yours the best life can offer. For me U are a breath of fresh air. Love all U have to offer. 💖 💪🏽 😇 🌈 🙋🏽‍♀️ 🥳 PS Still looking forward to looking at the other videos I haven't been able to get to. THANKS MUCH!!!🎉

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thank you for writing in Esther and sharing your good vibes and understanding. We'll still be producing videos both here and on Flock, but much slower pace, so hopefully that gives you some time to catch up! ha! Really appreciate you and have a lovely year.

[@ravivora5500]

Thanks for the update. Happy New Year! Have a great 2025!

[@JoyfulPlantMom]

Wishing you a wonderful 2025 as well. It's awesome and touching on the time you spent acknowledging the disasters/devastation happening within the US. Very few content creators do which boggle my mind. God bless also. Your update was a welcome surprise. Best wishes from Maryland.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thank you so much for your note and appreciate your thoughts. You too have a lovely 2025 and will see you here :)

[@JoyfulPlantMom]

@@summerrayneoakes Absolutely 🌿🐔

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

I'm excited to see how you continue to grow and evolve as you take on this next chapter. We'll be here patiently waiting for your return, sending you all the best for this new project. Whatever it is, I’m sure the fruits of your labor will be as inspiring and impactful as always.

[@yeastybeastie]

God bless You, Summer! You keep doing you, and your calling. We're lucky to have the inspiring videos of it, whenever they may come.

[@foxmaasch5426]

thank you for all the inspiration.So much......all of it! BRILLIANT!

[@Neilhuny]

Sending you a virtual hug 🫂 (Pfft, that's the best emoticon I can get on KZbin?! No gif? I'm disappointed) for the last part of this video about people losing their homes and businesses, places we know through you being damaged etc etc. Your compassion is exemplary, their problems are enormous! You are a fine human 🫂🫂 Further afield there are many others having at least as hard a time - Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Palestine stand out, currently. Whatever their side, I hope they are all safe soon. I think you're doing too much for KZbin and your sanity, and you should at least halve what you do for each channel! Happy you, happy Sander = happy viewers Lang may yer lum reek, as they say in Scotland

[@VickyHafler]

Thank you for the update. Keep looking up! We will be here when you return. ❤

[@jeangardensinIllinois]

Happy 2025! Thanks for your update. Sounds like a transition year. Good luck, share content when you can, take care, ❤

[@cherishdilks296]

Of course I will miss seeing more frequent new videos, but I am glad to know you have a project that is exciting you and look forward to hearing more about it. I am also looking forward to seeing the renovations for Flocks! ❤

[@lisaawild]

I will be here. There is a lot of great content we can watch or rewatch on your channels. Take care of yourselves and do what you need to do.

[@bettenotap4791]

Please do take breaks from posting, my husband also has a successful channel, (at age 67, I’m so proud) and gives himself permission to take breaks to recharge and get inspired. The majority of your viewers will patiently wait and support you. I admire your decision to do this and thank you for letting us know. Sleep is so important for better health overall.

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

I’m here!!! Congratulations of your life changes!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thank you Wendy. It's amazing that sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to focus on things, but it feels right :) Have a lovely day and I'll see you here.

[@CharlotteReyes-t3k]

Love all your content and however frequent/infrequent your posts this year or the next, I will be here to keep watching and supporting your channel. Also looking forward to this idea of “residency” at your place in the Fingerlakes! I am a creative, live in Manhattan, and would love somewhere to go and be with nature while I reset (because 2 kids 😂). ❤

[@stelaroibas3192]

Wishing you a lot of success with your new project!!

[@goddess131]

good luck on all your projects, can't wait till they are done and you can tell us more about it!

[@stephaniefuller]

I want to say thank you for all of your videos, I enjoy them it reminds me of home! I wish you luck and success in the future and look forward to your return!

[@pattivermeersch7348]

Thank you for this update…you are such a good communicator …your videos are really appreciated…excited for you and look forward to any reveals you may share and your next video

[@georgekoutsoudopoulos]

You've been so gracious to respond to some hideously entitled people. You have worked so hard on both channels in order to keep going and developing the massive real life project that Flock is. Good luck, take your time, quality trumps quantity any day.

[@normarobbins6460]

I will miss you. I will continue to follow. I hope you can still do shorts- occasional updates. I am all the way on the California coast. I hope to come to Flock when you set up your week stays. I've learned so much from your videos. You inspire me. My kitchen remodel has many of your ideas. Love you and your mission... Thankyou. from Norma, Mendocino, Ca

[@summerrayneoakes]

Hi Norma, really nice to hear from you all the way on the Left Coast. It'll be great to see you this way when we're finished with the renovations. I'm really looking forward to rolling out that program. And I'll still be producing videos here on both Plant One On Me and Flock, but maybe not at the frequency that folks are accustomed to. It'll be a work in progress, but in the meantime, I'm really enjoying focusing on this new 'stealth' project; I think a lot of folks here will really enjoying it, particularly because it's plant related. Have a lovely year and thank you for your note.

[@mathildakd1]

The wonderful, High quality, inspirational, beautiful and knowledgeable content you have created for us to enjoy have meant so much, to so many. I actually dare to say you have altered people's lives by what you brought to KZbin and more. Thank you and best of luck in your endeavors! Many well wishes from Stockholm Sweden

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thank you so much for your kind words. That would be definitely cool if folks feel like their lives have transformed for the better through what we produce, though I know that isn't an expectation. We'll still be around on both channels; and I trust the projects that we're working on now-the 'stealth' one and the residencies-will be another way for folks to really enjoy stuff on another level.

[@mathildakd1]

@summerrayneoakes Looking forward to seeing where those projects and ambitions will take you!

[@sumanchatterjee6973]

Happy new year plant lady😊

[@timgarner1957]

I understand work-life balance .. very excited for you on your new adventure . Gonna miss your great episodes ..😢 Just don't forget us..😊 Best of luck to both you and Saunder

[@summerrayneoakes]

Well, I'll definitely still be producing videos here and on Flock, so we're not going anywhere. It'll just be a little less frequent :) .... And I have a feeling that folks will really enjoy these new projects we'll be rolling out, because they are plant-related. I just realize that sometimes good stuff can take time, and need the hard work and elbow grease. Thanks so much for watching and enjoying and rest assured, we'll still be here! Happiest New Year.

[@timgarner1957]

@summerrayneoakes Shew!!! Thank God 😊...Definitely a inspiration for us all!

[@gjsoriano1]

It seems you're going to launch another book. Wishing you all the best in your new project. As a long time viewer, I enjoy the most your short plant one on me videos. I hope you can do another set of it this year in case you can't do long videos. I feel its raw and uncut format makes it manageable and also jammed with wonderful tips and stories.

[@pennygrimes8425]

Fabulous, will look forward even more to your next video/s and great luck and flow for your project! ! !

[@judyrene]

Would love to see how you manage so many projects and stay organized 💚

[@karrieharbart9266]

You could post a 3-5 minute video of your gardens at Flock, no words, just calm beautiful plants and I'd tune in. Or a live cam of the chipmunks, squirrels, and groundhogs that come nibble on the peanuts and seeds. You do what you gotta do, though!❤️

[@summerrayneoakes]

We definitely have to get more of our live cams set up. A couple of our bird boxes were co-opted by hornets who set up nests right on the camera lens, so that was a major fail. Haha. And we didn't get the bird box cams set up until pretty late in the season, but I think this year we'll be more prepared. But yeah, I'm not going anywhere on both channels. There will be stuff still rolling out, just maybe not at the same frequency. I didn't want anyone to worry about where I am or what not. But yeah, I am making good progress on my other project, so hopefully with good progress and good time management, we'll see things chugging along on both channels. Thank you so much for your suggestions and thoughts!

[@rickyt3961]

Thank you Summer for the update! personally i’m not to picky about video quality, so if you just want to pick up your iphone and record, have at it👍🏾 and 15 to 20 minutes is perfect 😉 i’m sure most of us are just interested in the progress and updates of your property and plants and of course how you are doing 😉 i don’t need a “Hollywood” cinematic experience 😂😜

[@simonesevero6761]

I will be starting to check the other channel as well, then! Love your videos! Do what your heart tells you. We will be watching 😀

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thank you so much for your understanding. I won't be going anywhere other then deep into a more focused zone because that allows me to produce more quality work; and do still expect videos here and on Flock, but just a little less frequent. :)

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

Best wishes to all of you at Flock and in your circle. A constructive thought here is just to keep things simple and less long winded. Repetition is good to a point, though I often observe both yours and Sanders videos rambling a bit more than necessary. Thanks again for sharing your world with us. I remain a fan! 🤩

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thanks for your constructive thoughts Elisabeth. I really appreciate it. Reminds me of the funny phrase, 'Keep it simple, stupid!' haha. I'm already enjoying focusing on our new projects; and know that if I give them the time, a lot of wonderful things will come out of it, so will be chugging along. Happy New Year! :)

[@sandragoerlich7134]

Best wishes to you in your new endeavors , thanks for sharing, blessings!!!

[@lisamorgan9151]

I’ll miss you as I’m sure the rest of your audience. Good luck on your new project. Ive had a kippee sticker for the longest. I loved seeing little kippee follow you around. Be safe.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Well I won't be going anywhere. I'll still be producing here and on Flock, but maybe just not as frequently ;) .... It's been really nice to give myself the permission to refocus and spend time on the new projects, so I'm glad you understand. And god bless my little Kip. I too have her picture on my wall here. I am looking forward to eventually getting a chicken coop so that I can raise more kips :)

[@summerrayneoakes]

Haha. I feel for you! I can only imagine managing lil' ones. I just shared with someone else that I probably have 1200 videos between both channels that were produced here over the last 8 years, so hopefully my less frequent postings will give me and other folks some breathing space. ha! Best to you and have a lovely 2025.

Happy 2025 ❤ I would love to be able to have some time at the flock. Let's hope the natural disasters will end soon, it's horrendous.

[@anthonyfrisk449]

Quality of quantity. Don’t stretch yourself thin at the expense of your content. 2025 is a big goal year for me too as I plan to shift career paths while in my mid-40s. Change is inevitable. Well wishes!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Well kudos to you for prioritizing the career shift. And glad you can understand that sometimes you have to put time aside to refocus. Happiest New Years to you and best of luck on the new project :)

[@briteddy9759]

I actually prefer shorter videos. I don’t mean shorts, but those less than 30 minutes or at least less than an hour. It is hard to finish a 2 hour video as that is quite a long time commitment even if I watch things on KZbin at x2 speed. Now that is my preference. The viewing metrics you get from KZbin will tell you if I am in the majority minority group of your viewers. Good luck on your project! I should add I do watch shorts, but they would not draw me to a channel. It takes more to develop a topic.

[@LindaLovesHorses]

Good luck on your project! Is there a book in the works? I love watching your tours of other gardens. I’ll be looking forward to your return.

[@summerrayneoakes]

I don't have a book planned, but what I am working on definitely feels like it needs the concentration as if I'm writing one. But I trust the two projects will yield beautiful spaces for folks to learn and interact with, especially because they are both plant-related. And thanks for letting me know what you prefer, content-wise. We will still be here on both channels, just a little less frequent. It feels good to give myself the permission to do that so I can have the focus on the projects. Thank you so much for your understanding!

I always wondered how you guys managed to to all this stuff. I tought you have super power or so. 🤣 So take your time. You deserve it!

[@summerrayneoakes]

The super power only lasts as long as you have the time for it; but when you want to start fitting other projects in, it gets too challenging. But I trust that what we're working on will result in something cool too for folks. So thank you so much for your note and for understanding!

Lets be honest, renovating today is next to impossible and we can compare that to only 5 years ago.

Hope you will not be traveling anywhere to South America, We go to Mexico often, but not now. Blessings for all you create

[@YellowPineappleHoyas]

Sorry but what is Flock? I don’t watch all your videos, so not sure what that is

[@nicolamarini]

9month project ... one ... a baby this time ?

[@katemiller8113]

If you trade long form for short form, I’m one viewer who would watch more videos. As a long time subscriber of both channels, I’ve actually watched far fewer since you started doing long form. May be an anomaly but just don’t have time to watch longer than 20 mins or so…10-12 mins is ideal. If the YT algorithm is not a factor, it may be good for you and us. Cheers! Love what you’re doing.

[@jeremygavard8871]

lol I for one prefer long form, I guess to each their own

[@summerrayneoakes]

Nice to hear your preferences. I definitely hear both sides, so I think it'll always be a mix of longer and shorter :)

Nice to hear what you prefer. Always good to get folk's opinions. I started to branch out on this channel into seeing plants at botanic gardens and (house)plants in the wild because to me, it's really nice to see plants in situ and in different places so we can get a sense of how we many want to grow them based on how they are growing in the wild or in other spaces; and to give context as to where they come from. But totally understand the more domestic preference of plants-in-pots-indoors. There will definitely be more of that on the channel, but just at a little less frequency for the moment. Thank you for letting me know!

Hi Vicki, maybe tune in to Summer’s “365 Days of Houseplants” it’s a great way to get a small daily hit of still relevant houseplanty info! 🪴🌱🌿
