We Planted 70,000+ BULBS in Our Lawn!!! - Ep. 059
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лис 2021
- We were planning on planting bulbs in two areas of the land-and chance would have it, I got a call from a friend, Peggy Anne, to see if .... we would be interested in doing bulbs in lawn. "YES! Of course!" we exclaimed. "We have a 1/4 acre and another 1 acre that we had that planned." Well, the stars aligned and we were able to partner with the European Union Bulb Exporters, Espoma Organic, and a number of friends to help plant over 70,000 flower bulbs in the landscape.
We'll have to wait for spring for the big display, but in the meantime-they're all in the ground!

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 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! 😄
@@franz4486 there community is really the best part
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
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.
@@FlockFingerLakes fusholee, I can’t wait.💪🌱✨
I had no idea a bulb planting machine like that even existed! Absolutely fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
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. :)
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!
Glad you enjoyed hearing from other members of the community. So much wisdom here.
My anticipation for how this will look is going to get me through the winter blues. What an amazing project.
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.
Lee: your steady work has not gone unnoticed! You’re a trooper!!
It is great seeing the rose guy there. You've cultivated some awesome friends already!
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 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.
I can’t wait to see the flowers in the spring!!! 😊💖🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸
I'm so excited to see this in bloom. Anticipation is the greatest joy in planting ❤️
That number is insane!!! Imagine them all blooming together!! Whew!!!
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!
@@FlockFingerLakes Better show us the results! 😉
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 :)
Ok, that red machine is cool! I want one! Probably should get a lawn first though LOL
A little garden of eden. You are making a lot if insects, birds and people very happy. Thank you.
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....just can’t wait for Spring! Had no idea of this method of planting bulbs. Great video. Lovely to see the Rose gentleman.
I followed Summer Rayne to Finger Flock Lakes! I love the whole aspect and your love for Mother Earth! Thanks for the beautification!
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!
Summer you have the hook-up. I wish I had the amount of PhD at my house to plant my bulbs. lol
We are fortunate to be surrounded by caring, down-to-earth, brilliant folks
@@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!! 🦋💐🌹🌺🌱🤗
One day, years from now, I wish to see how it all develops. This will be beautiful. Great community.
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!
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.
Looking forward for the spring time spectacle.
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
First of your videos I've seen. But as an aspiring flower farmer I am AMAZED! That is going to be so beautiful!
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
It's gonna be beautiful! 70'00 plus views too, now I like bulbs!
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!
Excited when spring comes next year 😊
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!
What a team! Good work!!
The team was the best part
Gosh I love watching episodes where people from other episodes get together for a project! Everyone worked so well together. Great episode!
I am not done watching the video and I already can’t wait for Spring to see the outcome. This is going to be amazing!!!!!!
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 STARTED MY ADVIL DRIP LAST NIGHT "" lol i feel you
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 ❤❤❤🎉🎉
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! ❤️
This is the best planting ever!!!! So excited to see the spring showing!
"I started my Advil drip last night" is probably the most relatable statement of this video. IMO.
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.
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 :)
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 :).
Can't wait to hear the bees all a'buzz. They're going to wake up and feel they hit the sweepstakes.
@@FlockFingerLakes y'all have some lucky bee's! The krokussen here are always humming with bees on a sunny spring/winter days
That's a lot of chefs in a kitchen that only needs a short order cook!
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.
Many hands (& equipment) make light work! 😊
Wow! Can’t wait until spring. Really beautiful job.
This is going to be a site to see come spring can't wait.
I want to visit this spring!!!!!
Other gardening channels:
We planted 1,000 bulbs!
We planted 2,500 bulbs!
Check out my 5,000 bulb order!
A 10,000 bulb order!
Flock Finger Lakes said, "hold my beer."
Hahahha..Hold my cider. This was 1/4 acre, but next time we want to do 1 acre of native bulbs! Well, we'll see.... :)
@@FlockFingerLakes any native bulb suggestions? Love what you do?!❤️🌸
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'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!!!
Jesus summer! I’m so jealous!!! This is definitely my dream yard, if I have the energy to do it.
the farm i work at, we did 200,000 tulip bulbs by hand. it took 5 of us 5 days
That's a lot of digging for sure!
Summer keep doing this work. Is so inspiring, you can't even imagine. Thank youuu
Wish I could have been there to help. Always enjoy your videos.
The grounds have improved substantially, you’ve been working hard 💪 what a great group of volunteers, it’s going to be beautiful! 🌷
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labor!
good to see leon in the episode again!
He is such a bright light and hard worker
These will provide many years of beauty
Awee the rose guy is helping lovely
This was fun, informative and so heartening to see! Can't wait to see these beauties in bloom🤩😍
great work all … looking forward to the spring show
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!!!
Can't wait to come back to those videos after seeing how it turns out!
Thanks for showing us the process and training us in delayed gratification 😁😁
I love watching your channel! Excited to see the blooms this spring! Keep up the good work!
Such an adventure!
Love to see the results in spring... Stay safe...
Thank you for another awesome video, great to see the community effort too !!
The community is the best part
I cannot wait to see sprint results! :-)
i cant wait for spring
Oh please write to me when you show it in the spring! :)
Wow I love this group of people, amazing.
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.
I can't wait to see it in Spring!
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.
The bloom is going to be insane!
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 .
I will keep waiting the days they blooming.
WOW, Amazing ways to plant so many bulbs. I really want to see a spring video when they all come up.
talk about community.... Love it!
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!
I would love to see them all in bloom 😊
Now I wanna see all of them bloom🥰
Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thanks for enjoying.
Awesome, thank you for sharing 🌸🌸🌸
what a great episode!! Can't wait to see the results!
This is just so excellent, love this video. So great to see everyone work together. :)
Wow !!! So so exciting !!!!!
Wow this is going to be glorious!! 💕🌸🌸
Cannot WAIT to see this when they bloom.
Amazing machine!!
