Next thing you know will be lavender overflow and entire family making lavender sachets:)))
I'll be the first customer if so Nicole
My mother in law filled around 750 sachets of 12g ....last November all by herself 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
It looks really good. I live north of you in Canada and I cut my lavender back each year to 3-4 " high. Never gets woody that way always new growth. I cover mine with dried leaves and it has survived for 4 winters. Lavender likes to be on the dry side
Glad to know this.I live south of you and north of Nicole (Zone 4a).Thanks, Jill and Nicole.
I live down in 5b zone i started mine from seed this year too and it got huge I was reading when to clip back first year and was told to shear it before end aug so thats what I did .how did you do yours.
Jayneen, who ever told u 2 cut it back b4 Aug must live in zone 7 plus?
You must trim it in the late spring?
@@lavendercrowl5695 darn i hope it comes back in spring its still doing great but our winters can get minus so I guess if it doesn't do well ill have to start over. Thank you.
Wowser, most definitely agree with you about the size they have grown.
I'd chalk it up to 3 things, 1... Soil they love. 2....no competition and 3... That black landscape fabric has reflected the warmth back into the soil and lavender loves that!
Something I don't agree on... Do not cut it back. Take all the flowers off now. Do not cover till really cold hut you can get yr hoops ready b4 ground freezes.
The reason not 2 cut it back is all that new growth will help 2 protect the crown and roots. The time 2 trim it back is in the late spring when you start 2 c new growth.
Next yr it will bloom earlier. Those flowers u c now are because of all that goodness of growth and the late warm weather. Lavender can send out some second flush of flowers but skimpy.
I've grown over a hundred lavender plants in yrs. Have 5 shades of purple, white and pink.
My fav light pink one is called Jean Davis. A great Canadian supplier fairly close 2 you in Ontario is Richters Herbs.
Anyway... I notice u just snapped off some Dandelions... If u don't get that whole long tap root it will grow back and be even bigger in its root system next year! 😁
Wish I had a huge field like yrs 2 grow in rows as such.
Are u going 2 sell lavender in bunches. What one of our local lavender business farm does is let people cut their own. They demonstrate how 2 cut and then give them a little wooden mini like ruler that has 2 diff size if holes for one 2 put their stems in so they know how much.
Thank you for the valuable info.i may just put my chicken wire cage back over mine i used to protect them from feral cats etc and put a cover on maybe then it will be more protected with my mistake.
If you have never been to the lavender farms on Maui- you must! I buy my mosquito lotion there every year! It is one of my favorite places, rows and rows of lavender... magical. Their lavender mosquito lotion is amazing and works 100%, if you have ever spent time in the high country jungle you know the mosquitoes are huge and extremely persistent and it's the only thing that works!
Great.
LOVE the smell of lavender and sage together!
yeah!💕
Cut back ONLY by 1/3 wvery year. Cit back kind of in a point at top. Lookin good!! Munstead my fave. Deep purple.👍
Yup! Pruning it back 👍
Your soil is soooo yummy!
So I'm not at all surprised the lav is in luv w yur hill !
Who was it that wants to make the lavender products again?
Your cousin?
Your sister?
Well, it's SOMEBODY...
and they must be just
OVER THE MOON
for all that fabulous progress!!!
Nicely done Doll.
Nicely done. 💜 💜 💜
Oh, Nicole, that lavender is so lush and healthy. I can just imagine what a beautiful sea of purple waves you’ll have next year. It will be breathtaking…..and the fragrance! It will be the perfect place to go when your stressed, exhausted, or feeling a little down. It can be your rejuvenation field. So happy for you. Looking forward to seeing it in its full glory.
I dont know what it is about the music you use it's perfect and soothing. And love the hair.
Oh Nicole! I grew up weeding our flower beds at home - but that's nothin' compared to what your kids "get to" weed! They will have memories to talk about for sure. Love it!!
Loved the bumble bee coming in for landing in the one photo! My first year Munstead looks great also. And smells so great!
What a joyful surprise with the lavender. Nichole you have more than a green thumb. You have the golden touch. Beautiful. Wish we could smell along with you❤️
what a glorious addition to the Flower Farm ... and how lovely with all that yellow off in the distance - love, love, love !!!!
gosh, they grow up so fast 😭 lol They look LOVELY and I'm sure the scent is intoxicating!!
Your lavender makes me envious as I can nor meow lavender in SWFL...and also remembering when I could grow it when living in the Midwest. Oh, the fragrant memories!
Wow they are really filling in. That will look stunning next summer with the grass rows all nice and neat in between.
Love the velvety look to that one lavender
Looks amazing. Hidcote is my favorite! I love the dark purple blossoms. I also love your idea of putting grass down between the rows. It will be easy upkeep to just have to mow.
Looks soooo pretty 🤩 😱😱😄😄😄!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great update! 8b here with crappy soil and constant drought (at 4,000 ft in San Diego County, CA). Tested a Vera, Munstead, and Spike. Munstead died. Then grew from seed and planted 100' rows of 66 Spike and 33 Vera. Rabbits aren't supposed to like it...but they wiped out all of the Vera, and severely chomped the Spike before I could get them protected! A year later the Spike rebounded. I am about to refill the Vera row with something. You may have motivated me towards Hidcote! 👍
Great job 👍 looking forward for more 😁
I planted 6munstead from seed three years ago., they are huge. And I started a tray of more this year. And those are the same size as yours.
I am also creating a lavender row and I am using them by all my doorways, love the smell. 😍
I put in 20 more along the stairs on my hillside tiered garden and they are doing amazingly.
Keep growing 🌱✌🏻
I love lavender! It is my favourite greenery to use in bouquets. The smell is so amazing. Your field is looking awesome!
I’m extremely impressed! I tried and failed with no less than 8 lavender plants this year 😭. The only thing that’s survived are some sprigs of lavender I grew from seed but they look like nothing right now haha
Oh my goodness that is going to be amazing. Well done you.
Lovely, lovely LAVENDER!!!! 👃🏻💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I heard/saw from a plant experts at Roberta's Unique Gardens not to cut back lavender until Spring. That's what I do because during winter it does die back on the top here in 7B zone.
I have the phenomenal lavender and I love it. Smells Amazing! Thanks for sharing 👍.
Thank you for sharing you varieties. I live in WI 4b and have the worst luck getting it to survive.
I also live in wis 4a/4b. Right on the edge. I wanted to see if it will survive here and if yes I am considering starting a farm. I’m near Frederic wi. My first 8 plants are near Hudson Wi. Fingers crossed over winter. I covered mine with frost cloth and did not prune back this first year. I got two bouquets the first season for my wife! lol.
👍🏻I sure hope they over winter for you.
Wait! There’s a white and pink lavender??? I need that!
I bought my pink ones like 20 yrs ago. White isn't as showy but unique and I've had mine for 3 yrs.
It looks amazing!!! My Mom's been wanting to try this, I'll definitely show her your videos on it!!! So happy for you, they look incredible, soo much growth!!!💓
I'm so happy it's doing well! Can't wait to see it in full maturity! So jelly! 😁
I was trying to admire the lavender but kept getting distracted by your sneakers. LOVE them!
Love your lavender field! I'm growing Grosso for the oil and Imperial Gem for the dried buds! I'm in 8b, and we normally get tons of Oregon rain, so I had to plant mind on sandy loam burms. Gardening and farming is definitely a lot of research and experimentation.
I like Lavender ! ラベンダーが好きです。
Looks great! I planted my 1st lavender this year and it is turning out lovely. Hi from Marietta, Otisco Lake!
I want to plant a little lavender “hedge” to separate my designated yard from my farming area. I think it would be beautiful and smell amazing. Also, I love the “Farmers” jingle at the end. My husband and I own an actual Farmers insurance agency in TN! To funny. Wonderful video.
Sooooo gorgeous!!!
Your lavender plant's are doing good
Wahooo!!!! I love it!!!!💐🌿🙏❤️🌸..........
Congratulations!!! They look beautiful. I never had much luck with lavender. I would put in a plant or three and they never er really thrived. Within three years they would be gone. I used to blame the poor dog but I honestly don't know why. I can usually grow anything. After seeing your I am going to have to try again.
Hi Nicole!!!😊💖🦋🌼🐝🌸👍👋
Looks so amazing!!!
🤗🤗
I hope you do a lavender update video!
Great capture on Mr Bumble mid flight! 👏🐝
Zone 5 Canada here, I just finished cutting back lavender and that's all I ever do. But I think because we get a lot of lake effect snow in our area it acts as insulation. Glad to see your business booming this season. 💐👍🏻
Love the Lavender field! Did you start your own Lavenders or purchased starts? If purchased, where? Thanks!
I would doubt that cold would kill lavender on its own! At least Munstead and Hidcote are very tough plants.Poor drainage is the big problem and in winter moisture hangs around much longer. I don’t know the other type you are growing but if it is classified as a French lavender it may be “softer “. Good luck. It will be beautiful!👍
Looks great!
Amazing Beautiful flower farm Please stay connected
We are planting our beds next spring
LOVING YOUR HAIR!! :)
Zone 5 here, lost my potted lavender and chicago figs over winter. Want to see what you do and what I did wrong. Local lavender farm went under after super wet spring which is why though pot would be better.
Cannot b kept in a pot. The freeze thaw freeze thaw is too tough on lavender.
I wonder if you could mulch it with crushed granite or something to cut down on weeds. I'm looking to start about 50 plants this year for my bee colonies. Thanks for your videos.
Yes, I think mulching it would help. It was on my list of things to do this year and it never happened. Never enough time!
"We are farmers" 😁🥰😆
Love how you share your weeds!,, can u share any crop failures ? So we can commiserate 😫
❤ LOVE YOU ❤
Would you share where you purchased your plugs from and cost please? Looking good! Thank you
It'll be looking like PepperHarrow farm in no time!!
I've actually never seen their farm/videos. I recognize the name!
@@FlowerHillFarm They have gazillion of lavender plants! Gazillions!
Phenomenal is wonderful. Have u seen lavender “scentational” yet? Really nice
Where did u buy your phenomenal lavender 💜
We want longer videos!!😁🎃🌻💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Give me longer days! 🤣
@@FlowerHillFarm 🤣🤣. Omy that would be sooo great!!
Great video! Do you irrigate at all? Or just depend on rainfall?
We are looking to do thew phenomenal lavender! where do you get your starts?
I'm in Canada and I don't protect my lavender at all. I don't even cut it back! I forget what kind it is. Its been 13 years.
Everyone who grows it around here does or experiences major loss. It depends on the variety and your micro climate conditions. Lucky you! I left mine alone last year and only had one come back out of 20.
The reason one trims it back is to get a nice new flush closer 2 the ground. Also it doesn't get so woody. I do let a few of mine get woody but just for a certain look. One doesn't have 2 cut them back when they are small like hers now, just a trimming on the top third in the spring!
Can we get a lavender update?!
Ooooo beautiful!! Look forward to hearing how you prep them 😄 Who/do you recommend the company you purchased the plugs from? You’re amazing thanks for sharing your incredible knowledge and Hi from NY!!!
I LOVE lavender. I have 3 phenomenal lavender plants in my small zone 5b MA garden. I would love to try the other varieties. Does anyone have preferences of Munstead over Hicote or vise versa?
you mentioned Goldenrod.. do you use it in your fall bunches/bouquets ?
Hi Nicole. I’m a Michigan who has lavender to plant. I can’t really tell but, it looks like you planted plugs from a tray of 72. Is that correct? Or did you repot plugs to a larger pot before planting? Just wondering if my wee plugs can be planted directly to the field. They are hardened off. Any advice would be appreciated. Love your channel ❤️
Wat about ur ornamental kale and cabbages
Nicole, will the snow load be an issue for the low tunnels?
looks amazing. I love lavender. Did you grow them from seed? if so, how long did it take them to germinate? Thank you
Hiiii
Where did you get your lavender starts
Why would you cut back the lavender plants before placing the frost cloth over them? ? Would be better to create a " tent" using the foliage to support the cloth and creating a warmer air space IMHO. Cut back in spring at the end of the heavy frosts that could damage the lavender.
Pruning lavender is pretty typical after it blooms
Wow, they are looking great! Are these from seed?
She said plugs.
How far apart did you plant the lavendar & how big are your grow holes?
Both answers found here: ua-cam.com/video/Gfm73SyoItQ/v-deo.html
I don’t do good with lavender. Either to wet or not enough.
It looks ‘phenomenal’. I had to. I’m sorry.
Do you have drip irrigation under the weed barrier for the lavender or no ??
nope
هل استطيع زراعتها في منطقة صحراوية
Did you mix sand or stones in the dirt for the lavender
Thats what I did we have heavy clay. Mine grew really big i started from seed i was shocked just hope I can keep it through winter learning when and how to prune
@@JAYNEmM1962 Please share what would do during winter.
@@sangeetaaich01 I got some good advice from another on here to put leaves around base and cover with branch bows which is what I'm going to do. I'm looking forward to lots of flowers next year.
Where did you get your plugs from?
Ball Hort
Can you make any money from the Lavender you have there?
the music is horrible at the start........ sorry
