We adore Lee too. That's the beauty of all of this, we get to meet amazing folks and we all just become friends and help each other out. It's tremendous. :)
I would pay good money to see a "Flock Finger Lakes: All Stars" episode. Lol Very cool episode! It's endearing to see the community helping each other out.
Haha. Too many All Stars to feature! But thanks, that's a lovely compliment. It was such good vibes having a crew of amazing people come together to manifest this.
@@FlockFingerLakes or maybe a Christmas party or something haha. It's really nice to see that you're now all actual friends and it's not just for UA-cam content. More power! 😄
It had always been my dream to one day have a garden where I could plant this many bulbs. I live in a tiny apartment that sits against a wooded embankment. I think this is my last year at this place and I am thinking of buying a 1,000 naturalizing daffodils and planting them in secret. Then when I move out, my neighbors will be delightfully surprised at the masses of yellow flowers. They always love the flowers I plant in the spring. It can be my parting gift.
WOW! I totally loved this video. It was gardening and an outdoor school rolled into one. So much great information about how bulbs grow and their needs. I loved watching that bulb planter at work. Now I wonder why everyone doesn’t have bulb lawns. I don’t have lawn, just gardens, but I’ve been working on increasing my bulbs. They’re so special because after a long cold winter we’re all hungry for colour and these bulbs are the first things to bloom. And then the pollinators. They’re all going to be writing you thank you cards for all that pollen in early spring. Thank you to everyone who came out to help and share what you know. Now I’ll be sharing this video :)
I’m a young aspiring botanist, mycologists, and wildlife conservationist and I love your videos, I’ve been following your channel for a few years now and your work is very inspiring. I would love to collaborate together on some projects in the future
Keep on putting the energy towards what you love. You can never been too young (or too old) to learn. When we're ready to open up Flock to the public, we hope you'll get an opportunity to visit.
That music at 9 min when you start planting! HAHAHA! get it done! SO glad to see how many people are willing to come by and help with this project. I cant WAIT to see this in the spring! Keep up the inspration.
I always wondered how a large grassy area could be a sea of spring flowering bulbs. I assumed that all was done by hand....and a ton of work. The bulb dispersing machine is genius..and fascinating. I can't wait to see how this all looks in the spring! Thank you, Summer. :)
what a beautiful investment for your own home and for Mother Nature... thank you so much for making it possible for us to join in this project via your channel!
This was very inspiring. I enjoyed hearing from the different experts you featured and I learned things I didn't know before. I can't wait to see the 3-month show in the spring!
We are imagining! But hopefully in springtime we won't have to imagine. It's been a wet, wet year, however, so we're fingers crossed the bulbs are not under there rotting!
I don’t know why but I’m in tears watching this video specially when I saw Lee “the Roses whisperer”. Such a feel good and full of hope video. Love you guys
Ok so this is brilliant! That heavy equipment is just amazing and WHAT a fantastic group of people coming together for something so dang beautiful! WAY TO GO YOU GUYS!!!!! Im am absolutely blown away!!!!!! Let me pick my jaw up off the floor now!!!
I'm so excited to see this in flower!!!!! I watched this video when it was new. Very impressive, btw! It's now March, 2022 and since I'm in Texas, our Spring comes sooner. The weather here is making me a bit impatient to see the 70k bulbs flowering at the Flock Finger Lakes!! Our Daffodil bulbs are popping up, and while not quite in flower yet, Spring has Sprung!!! Even though my brain knows it's too soon for FFL, I find myself checking back here to the channel every few days to make sure I haven't missed it!! Y'all's bulb show is going to be GLORIOUS!!!
Never had experience with bulbs, this video gave me an understanding of the benefits to use them for ecological purposes. Thank you for this video ❤❤❤🎉🎉
Like kids in a candy store!! WONDERFUL!!!! Followed Summer Rayne to Finger Flock Lakes! I love the whole aspect and your love for Mother Earth! Thanks for the beautification!
@@FlockFingerLakes Brilliant is an understatement!! I would have loved to be a 'bee' amongst all those creative minds and listen in while they articulated their opinions and suggestions. Summer, you are so wise and fortunate to have such fine caliber of friends and contacts. I am enjoying the transformation of the property as it evolves. I can sense the joy and love you feel for that land. Can't wait for the spring update!! 🦋💐🌹🌺🌱🤗
How exciting!!! Can't wait for spring to see the results, it'll look spectacular! What a great team of experts you got in to help, that's great to see everyone helping out!
Great video. I’m in the south so fingers crossed my bulbs come up. That bulb planting machine was so cool! And loved all the friends and knowledge. Explanation of how the drill works was eye opening. I was taught how to use one but never WHY, knowing now how it works really helps me understand the why and then I don’t forget the how. I felt like I was watching a this old house mini episode 😊Thanks again for another great video! 🌷🌷✌🏻🙌
I'm really grateful i'm able to join your journey eventho it's only through videos. Would love to help to do field work for you guys but I live thousand miles away across the sea. So the best i can do is just watch the videos without skipping any ads 🤣 Can't wait until the flock finally ready open to the public! Eventho i won't be able to visit, but i'll try my best to support you guys on whatever projects you guys do. Keep up the good work summer, sander, joey! ❤️
People that go on adventures in the woods can tell that an old home site use to be there because of the type of plants planted. Bulbs remain and are multiplying long after the man made structures are gone.
We do use bulbs in the south, I have had Crocus in my lawn in central AR for several years. We would love to have a visit from you and show off our spring gardens. This was a very informative video. I can't wait to see the final result.
Auger demo tip... I'm in a root bound, rocky area - using the 3" & 5" Power Planters. You will have a sore wrist that way or worse if you're drilling many holes for bulbs. Torque you're wrist a few times that way and you'll FEEL it. Buy a drill with a cross bar attachment. Even Walmart makes a drill that includes a bar for much more stability and it's much safer. It also keeps your hand off the top of the drill. You want to be able to let it ventilate properly and if the drill is overheating it will smoke and you need to smell it to let it cool down, especially with the 5" & 7" augers when dropping 10 - one gallon rose bush cans in the ground, etc. (btw-Dewalt is pricey and you'll be sad if you burn it out drilling holes in the dirt.) When you're starting out-Rest the auger tip point on your drill spot- SLOW SPIN DRILL - PRESS DOWN - LIFT/PULL UP- REPEAT. Like a pulsing motion (Ahh, a bit like plunging a clogged toilet!) so those rocks and roots get pulled up and you can cut them away and lift out rocks and get deeper each pass. NOTE - Wear some high boots and jeans. You'll avoid bruises from rocks on the legs or the auger catching your leg and dirt in your low top gardening shoes. Big augers can REALLY hurt your wrist that way. Wrists are all tendons and ligaments and are easy to protect with a bit of awareness of how powerful this GIANT DRILL really is. You can loosen up a whole area with an auger saving time and your own energy over shovels, forks and picks at times. Augers are nice to mix compost with dirt, sand, etc. in an area on a low, slow spin setting too. If this saves ONE wrist, elbow, etc. I'm happy! 🙏
It's gonna be gorgeous! And the bees will love it :p. I'm lucky that bulbs and larger bulb plantings are common here in the Netherlands but they should be everywhere :).
In Washington years ago our sink gray water fed our flower gardens , the flowers grew so big, our flowers were twice the size or even larger than the same flowers in others yard . They loved that soapy dirty gray water .
This was great. The guy talking about the Cornell university studies and the tool guy and all the different techniques in one project. Very cool... Makes me want to seek out projects like this locally. I already plant bulbs under my lawn, just a small area in the front garden where I like to show off unusual flowers... But this larger project has me thinking about the local grassed spaces which our council manages... I wonder if they'll let me come and help (and learn)... I will ask on Monday.
Fascinating video and info. That bulb planting machine with hopper is so cool. I love that these bulbs will be an early food source for bees and other pollinators. Can't wait till your Spring video to see the results.
It was so fortuitous how the bulb planting machine came together. We were filming at Florae Collaborative ua-cam.com/video/EL_YDXq37oY/v-deo.html and then had to go back there to speak, but didn't have a ride, so one of the young ladies who works at Florae had her father, Frank, come pick us up, and he happens to be a turf grass scientist and recommended Bill to us. I had met him a while ago, but just in passing, and was with a group who actually helped bring this bulb lawn idea to life. Just amazing how the universe works itself out.
This is going to be breathtaking beautiful in the spring. Wow! That’s a lot bulbs can’t imagine what that cost. I was only able to get a 100 this year. It’s probably better in a huge bulk though. Can’t wait to see the show in spring! 😊🌷
I love the that the rose guy was there helping. He is awesome.
We adore Lee too. That's the beauty of all of this, we get to meet amazing folks and we all just become friends and help each other out. It's tremendous. :)
@@FlockFingerLakes 70,000 how much did they cost to buy? can a average person afford it?
70 000 is insane. Jeez it's gonna look so beautiful when they bloom. Can't wait!
Us too!
I need a romantic spring breakfast on the roof tops of Montmartre again.
i'm super excited to see these bulbs blooming. when they bloom, the whole lawn going to be filled with flowers!!!
That's the hope. It'll be somewhat orchestrated too since they'll bloom from Feb - June
A little garden of eden. You are making a lot if insects, birds and people very happy. Thank you.

I can’t wait to see the flowers in the spring!!! 😊💖🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸
It's gonna be beautiful! 70'00 plus views too, now I like bulbs!
I’m so excited for spring, for both the bulbs in my own yard and yours. I’m fascinated with the idea of naturalizing bulbs in the lawn.

Looking forward for the spring time spectacle.
I hope to see the update when you invite all of the helper experts back to see the result. Flock Expo 2022!🌷🌷🌷🌷🌿
Hahah, that is DEFINITELY happening.
Wow....just can’t wait for Spring! Had no idea of this method of planting bulbs. Great video. Lovely to see the Rose gentleman.
First of your videos I've seen. But as an aspiring flower farmer I am AMAZED! That is going to be so beautiful!
I'm so excited to see this in bloom. Anticipation is the greatest joy in planting ❤️
Wow 🤩,
A dynamic team work of all plant (mother nature) lovers, that's amazing and lovely to see our rose man,
And waiting n excited for the blooms!
I don’t know why but I’m in tears watching this video specially when I saw Lee “the Roses whisperer”.
Such a feel good and full of hope video. Love you guys
I followed Summer Rayne to Finger Flock Lakes! I love the whole aspect and your love for Mother Earth! Thanks for the beautification!
My anticipation for how this will look is going to get me through the winter blues. What an amazing project.
This program was pure fun. Thank you and I’m so excited for you to see what Spring 2022 will look like!

Like kids in a candy store!! WONDERFUL!!!! Followed Summer Rayne to Finger Flock Lakes! I love the whole aspect and your love for Mother Earth! Thanks for the beautification!
I would love to see them all in bloom 😊
Excited when spring comes next year 😊
I can't wait to see them in bloom!! So much work but so worth it for our pollinators!
Us too! I get so excited to hear the excitement of the pollinators.
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labor!
This is the best planting ever!!!! So excited to see the spring showing!
Jesus summer! I’m so jealous!!! This is definitely my dream yard, if I have the energy to do it.
The bloom is going to be insane!
Wow! Can’t wait until spring. Really beautiful job.
Gosh I love watching episodes where people from other episodes get together for a project! Everyone worked so well together. Great episode!
Wow I love this group of people, amazing.
This channel contains the best gardening content on UA-cam.

OMG!!! So fascinating to see how thousands of bulbs been planted. It will be gorgeous. Can’t wait to see all bulbs flowering in the spring. 😊
We were SO THANKFUL Bill helped making light work of all those bulbs. Not to mention all the great volunteers.

good work !
you’ve come a long way since
that young lady with an apartment
full of house plants
Many hands (& equipment) make light work! 😊
That was wonderful in so many ways. Thank you to all of you. However it looks in the future, these efforts and this vision warmed my heart :)
Please be sure to film these areas next spring and let us see your results. Well done!
absolutely! We're waiting with bated breath. Honestly, it's been such a rainy year that we're hoping they survive all the wetness!

Did anyone else panic as he drove over the bulbs and they stuck to the machine?😂
Hell yes.. I'm thinking..Whatttt?
Yes
Yes they lost probably half their bulbs on the ground
So these must already be coming up now…. Must be amazing!

Love to see the results in spring... Stay safe...

Thank you for the list of bulbs! I'm gonna try these exact same ones for a little patch in our courtyard in London too
