Hi Sweet Pea. My favorite flower. I have about 100 bushes around my garden. Make wedding bouquets with bunch of lavender on the inside and white roses around the edge. Don’t forget when you pull the leaves off the bottom after cutting they can go straight into organza bags. I also make lavender wands and tea bags for wedding favors. Make lavender shoe bags for your smelly shoes. Lavender kills the bacteria which causes the smell. Dry the flowers upside down for putting in bouquets between seasons. I could go on and on. You could have a whole new business just with your lavender 🥰💜
🥰💐💟 I can’t wait!
Wow, thanks for the tip! I'm so ditzy, I'd have dropped and wasted all that loveliness!
The ending had me in stitches 😂 here lemme add some too... Lavender paper, Lavender perfume, Lavender dried, Lavender crowns, Lavender seasoning, Lavender dyed fabric, Lavender resin bracelets, Lavender resin rings, Lavender bug spray.. That was fun tehee 🤭
And some more 😬:
Lavender essence facial/room spray, lavender wreathes, lavender crowns, lavender ice cream, lavender frozen ice cubes, lavender frosting 🧁
lavender ice cream
Love your spirit...One woman army...Lots of love from India.❤️
I always get so excited when you post a new video ! I can’t find anyone that draws me in like you ! Your a gay boys dream!
She is all our dream. And love her flowers
It's like Bubba Gump talkin' about his shrimp... love it!!! 🍃❤🦐
"I've always relied on the kindness of lavender"
It is so relaxing watching you plant flowers. You are doing a tremendous job and work so hard. Wish you lots of success with your business❤︎
I love lavender it’s so soothing and beautiful. You are my gardener hero. You go lady!
Flower Friend Nicole! Your videos are my favorite! Your energy, knowledge, creativity, and general goofiness is fantastic. Thank you for more inspiration from a beginner gardener in zone 5. Keep on digging like a mole! :)
Great Video I enjoyed watching it. I would like to make one suggestion drill a hole in the bottom of the pot and attache a knob or a kitchen cupboard handle to your pot it will make your job easier.
Lavender cake is HEAVENLY
Love how your farm has evolved this year. Best of luck ❤️
Lavender simple syrup to add to a glass of lemonade is Delish!😋
Oooooo yes!
I am so inspired by you, Nicole! I can't wait to see this lavender field in future years!
So looking forward to seeing your lavender in full bloom
I don't think I've enter commented on your videos, but I watch them all. You're very talented and I love watching your garden(s) grow! We have a ton in common right down to the same shirts you wear- it's funny! I found myself wishing we could jump a year and two ahead so we can see the growth of your lavender plants! Keep up the great informative and entertaining videos! Thank you, thank you!! You're the best!
Some find it relaxing, but this is the first time I almost felt back pain and truly realized that "I have planted 300 of this and 400 of that" is a short sentence, but long hard work! Sister love and support:))))
Looking forward to doing this this year. I've been searching for the best way to plant my lavender field.
I love you, Nicole, you’re such a nut! Thanks for making me laugh.
You are so welcome!
hidcote lavender comes in white and pale pink too……..it might be worth a try 😉
Cant wait to see these grown up! I have always wanted a Lavender hedge ever since seeing the hedge beside Laura's fence around her vegetable garden & I finally invested in some Lavender plants to do so! I can't wait! 👏
Yes, I love her lavender hedge! ♥️
@@staceyallard2692 🤤
I can’t imagine how funny you must have been as a kid…I LOVE your humor! In case you haven’t noticed, I rewatch your videos when I’m looking for specific info. I’m sure that balancing all of your responsibilities is impossible, so I’m super grateful for all that I receive from you. Stay funny and family focused. 🙏🙏💗💗
Hi Nicole
hope you are doing well.
Please update us on your lavender field this year to see how they are looking. Thanks
How lovely to plant all that lavender, thinking of the lavender fields of Provence…..I grow Munstead Hidcote and lavandula grosso here in the uk. French lavenders and white lavender seem much more prone to the cold weather. It’s so easy to grow from cuttings too. In the uk we trim back after flowering , I always wait till the bees have gone- the flowers are alive with them.
Yep here in England the white and butterfly lavendar are much weedier and don't grow so well. They can't handle the winters.
I heart your sense of humor! You are my spirit animal. Can not wait to see this lavender!!
Lol!!!! You reminded me of Bubba Gump with all your lavender ramblings! Love the silliness! Keep the laughs coming!!!!
That is going to be an amazing lavender field in a couple years!
I planted a lavender plant years ago and it didn’t survive the first year. Fast forward to 2019 when I ordered a lavender plant. Planted it right away in the fall. Last year it survived and I didn’t do anything to it except cut the flowers, but it had more than doubled in size…this year, I trimmed it back in spring and it is massive now! The blooms are about ready to pop any day now. I’m so excited, so I understand your excitement for all your little babies to get bigger.
I'm a lavender farmer ☺️ In southern Ontario. If you ever want to chat! LOL
What varieties do you grow? :o
@@gabriellegibby3293 Phenomenal, Edelweiss, Hidcote, Superblue, Folgate, Royal Velvet, Melissa Lilac, and Melissa
Can’t wait to see this lavender field grow! The smell and colors will be heavenly. I finally had a plant survive our Michigan winter. 💜💜💜
Love hidcote. Deep purple and very fragrant!!
I have 2 lavender plants. I sometimes put a stem in tea. Love the aroma. But what does your sister cook using lavender????? Never heard of recipes using lavender.
🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣
🟣🟣Thanks for the huge🟣🟣
🟣 Lavender laugh, Bubba!!! 🟣
🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣
OOOHHH GIRL!!! I LOVE Lavender 💞 I only have a hedge of 5 Hidcote but they are my babies! Not that they need any attention, they just grow and are beautiful and smell wonderful and and and...lol! There is a Lavender farm down the road from us, hey...It's called Lavender Hill Farm, lol kinda cool!
Yay, lavender!! You'll get so much comfort from the pleasing aroma, they'll find you snoozing neath the yon lavender fields. 💜💤
love this! my dream is to have a lavender farm blessings and hope your lavender grows great
It is now end of February 2023. This winter I bought some Hidcote Blue lavender from Veseys. Am thinking of starting some soon, even though our last frost is end of May.
You are so funny! I love all your info you share but your humor is just the best!!
Went to Laromay Lavender Farm NH today. Absolutely stunning. English Lavender Hidcote in full bloom; French Lavender Phenomenol will be in a couple weeks. Lavender ice cream-- delicious.
You’re so educational but on top of it you’re hilarious. Your personality is great
Thanks so much!
Love love lavender. I make lavender gelato. It’s famous. I also use other herbs for gelato.
The lavender will be so beautiful. I only have 3 plants and love them. The rabbits and squirrels stay away which is a plus. I have an unrelated question, how are your lisianthus doing? I never heard of them before watching your video planting them so I thought I'd give a try. I planted too late (end of March) they came up but eventually were a bust. I watered and had under a grow light so I don't know where I went wrong. I'm going to give another try next January but wanted to know how yours were doing. Love your videos! 💚💚💚
Give me all things lavender!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜 I didn't realize there were so many different kinds and that it's hard to overwinter them! No wonder I've always struggled! Thankful for the tips, and I can't wait to see these plants grow!!!
This is by far my favorite video so far. You are living the dream. I know it’s hard work but getting to see your dreams come true right before your eyes has got to be so satisfying and fulfilling. Thank you for sharing once again.
Terrific video ! Sitting on a picnic table in a lavender field would be like a paradise.
I would love to see another video on your lavender. Did they turn out well?
Yes picnic table would be wonderful!
I'm growing lavender from seed for the first time and stumbled upon this video. The last minute cracked me up, you're narration sounds just like my inner monolog while i garden lol! I subscribed and will share all the great videos I'm binging!
I get such a chuckle from your out-takes. Lol
💐💐💐💐🌿🌿🌿❤️❤️❤️❤️🌻.......... so enjoying watching you plant..... we are all enjoying watching EVERYTHING grow❤️
Lavender........I think you covered it all! I love lavender too!
The best!
A friend recommended road fabric for long-term beds, it is much stronger than the landscape one
Yesssss!!! Lavender EVERYTHIIIIINNNGGG!!!!
I am so jelly about your lavender! I sprouted about 108 plants this spring, but they are dwindling down are weather and the wind and frying in the sun sigh… survival of the fittest for my lavender lol. Blessings 💗 🌱🧩🔆
Lavender always gives me such trouble! Thank you for this video!🥰🤍🥰
Beautiful and so sweet and exciting for your sister! 💕
When I have that issue., I water them with a cap or two of hydrogen peroxide in the next watering and then let them almost dry out before repeating. Usually gets rid of any mold or root rot issues.
And I have saved many sick plants! I tend to buy those sickly looking plants that are on discount 😋.. because I can’t see them and then just leave them there to die. 🤗😍
Just saved a couple of blue hydrangeas and now I am propagating from them.
I Have a couple trays of new blue hydrangeas rooted up and almost ready to be repotted.
Keep growing. 🌱💞😘🙏🏻
Awesome thanks! 💐
Anytime. We learn from each other. 😉
Thanks for sharing all of your adventures.
Keep growing.🌱💐
She is so funny! I would watch her videos just to hear all of the voices she makes. lol
I think the pink lavender Augustifolia Rosea is hardy and so pretty and the white lavender Arctic Snow. That’s coming from the UK but with fleece protection should be👌🏼🤞🏼I love lavender, reminds me of my mum and is just so comforting x
I've gotten more than 5 years with mine, and I was taking it up and down a lot. I also used staples to fasten it down, so that didn't help either.
Great info, thanks. Enjoyed the humor
You make me smile, thank you!!
I have not bought any lavenders yet but I was told that I can only grow Munstead and Phenomenal only since I live in tropical warm zones. ❤️❤️
I am super excited to see how everything grows..🌸🌺🌻
Don't forget Lavender simple syrup, lavender lemonade, and lavender cocktails...😍😊🐝🌷🌻🐞🍹🌿
Lol I should of read further that’s one of my Lavender fav’s!! Also made bulgar weighted eye pillows with lavender for my friends do use for Savasana in yoga - so relaxing and soothing☺️
Yum! Can’t wait
You can do a lavender themed Cut Flower Party with lavender lemonade, and/or lavender cocktails, mini lavender butter cream cupcakes, lavender scones, and much more all while folks put together a bouquet, a lavender sachet, and/or lavender rice pillows for body aches, headaches, and for a warm calming effect. I am SO jelly! Wish I was there but it is a bit too far for me to head over there for this, lol. I am in Sacramento California 😥😣. But I am always so excited to see what you are planting and harvesting. I absolutely LOVE your gorgeous bouquets and your build a bouquet porch parties. I am happy to see that you are successful and prospering at something that you truly love, that feeds your soul, helps to take care of regional pollinators, and potentially brings in more wildlife (birds, and good bugs) as a result, and helps the earth all at the very same time. I am inspired. 🌞😎😊😍🌸🌻🌿🌷🐞🌼🌳🌹🌾💐🐝
Haha I can’t wait to see this all grow!! Going to be amazing!!
Just came across this video and your channel! I'd LOVE an update on the mini lavender field and how big they are, now! 😊
Great video. Those plugs are beautiful, where did you purchase them?
A lavender field near me (Long Island, New York) keeps bees and sells the honey. You might like to do that. I love that they have painted the beehives in different shades of lavender.
Thank you so much for these fabulous videos! You really brighten up my day! Especially when I’m at home stuck resting due to chronic pain. I love gardening and you have helped me so much in that journey. My Hubby helps me a lot with all the heavy work while I do the seed growing and designing. I’d like to grow cut flowers, so I’m interested in how you grow them. Just like you’ve grown this lavender field for your sister I’d like to put a few posy’s together for friends and family, it’s so nice to give flowers to cheer people. X lots of love Helen (UK). 🧚🏼♂️🧚🏼♀️🧚🏼♂️
Hi nicole neat to see you working your lavender beds one very important additive dolomite lime. Lavender absolute ly love it. Keep up the good work, till next time best wishes noel nz.
I’m excited that you are 4b. I’m in Minnesota in 4b too
In MN, 4b too! I also love that Nicole is in our zone...most youtube gardeners are not.
Love the nod to Forrest Gump at the end ❤
You're a great educator and fun to watch. I'm planting only 3 lavender plants today and I'm following your direction. Thanks! (PS..... I just subscribed)
When you spoke of imaging yourself encompassed with lavender, I had already been thinking the same thing. When I plant my tomatoes, I always think, sometimes say out loud, OK, where are my tomatoes. If I had lavender like you have, I'd be doing the same thing, OK, I've done my part, where is all my lavender? Patients gardener, patients.
All I could think throughout this whole video is “boy I hope she will sell some dried lavender!” 😂
Heck yes!
My hubby and I love watching your videos!! And your editing is fun and fantastic!! We just started planting a Provence lavender hedge around the center island in our driveway!! We are inundated with deer so this works out perfectly! Can’t wait to see the progress!!
Thank you so much, Joy!
It is so nice to watch your development as a business. Your sensibility is amazing, inspiring and contagious 🤩😂
Good luck 😉
Thank you so much!!
Hey nicole...are you thinking about planting ornamental cabbages for cut flowers this fall? I'd love to watch you do that.
Yes I am!
@@FlowerHillFarm ouuuu..so excited. Ty. You're an inspiration to my humble beginnings
Living the dream!
We are zone 9b. We are getting to 120° on Friday 🥵 happy gardening to you! I'd love to plant some lavender too!
Lovely to see you planting lavender
Wish we got some cooler days in the summer!
100 degrees in Oklahoma for the next few months.
Hard to grow anything!!
🌺
you too funny. reminded me of buba Gump shrimp!
Wouldn’t it be great to have lavender staffed mattress and pillows too 🤗if I could, I would swim in lavender... And it’s beneficial for bees 🐝 ❤️
Tip... when you burn the holes in fabric maybe use a peic of plywood with a big hole in it. That way your circles will be far cleaner.
I make lavender liquid sugar. It is delicious. Add to your teas and cake and cookies.
YUMMERS
I'm sure it will look great when it's fully developed. I just think at the photos of lavender fields in the Provence 💜
In what part of the country areyou are growing your lavender?
And if it's like and how are you going to water them along with the grass?
I love the idea of burning the tarp fabric rather than cutting it.... so smart!!!
Lavender Ice Tea - a subtle flavor.
Love it!!! I share that dream with Jessica! Getting ready to start some trays with seeds! Did you do a drip irrigation system or do you just rely on the humidity?
MAKING MY DREAMS COME THROUGH
👍before watching ♡
I Love lavender. I wish you’d expand it to a lavender field someday, then you’ll have a wild flower field/meadow and a lavender field. I’m living vicariously through you Nicole, so thank you so much. Keep on inspiring.
Have you tried flame weeding your garden?
There will be about six 150 foot rows!
I've been starting Lavender by seed and some of last years plants survived my 3b winter. It went down to -40Celsius, which seems to be the same in Fahrenheit. Just a stupid kind of cold.
Wonderful video😊
Your Mama loves Lavender.....with a box of Chocolates. You never know what you can make!
Cracking me up w the Forrest Gump shrimp (lavender) products 😆😆
We say manamana ALL the time in our home 😆😆
Lavender Queen! 💜💜💜 What did Gina have say? 🌷❤️🌷❤️ 😂
Did you forget lavender lemonade? I’m not a flower farmer but I’m growing Hidcote and Munstead also. It was surprisingly easy to start from seed. I had always heard it was difficult but that wasn’t my experience. Your lavender field will be amazing.
Yum!!
Yay another vid…. I started a bunch of lavender from seed several months ago & there tiny compared to yours 🤦♀️ Keep spoiling us 😂
Spittle Bugs??? Ok ewe. I planted 5 lavendar plants last year and ended up with weird foam balls on my plants. Turned out to be these Spittle Bugs that come around in May and June. Zone 6a. I feel like plants should have warning labels lol! Love them though 😍
Love it,!
