I like the way you did your commercial ! (And as you know - I'm VERY particular about commercials!!) Good Job! You actually made it interesting, and that's saying something bcuz I have seen MANY Skill Share adverts! 🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨
I was just thinking of flowers Stive this morning, prying for the sunflowers to survive because all the scorching burning water is across the country!!😬🙏🌻🤠 thinking we have to have our sunflower seeds!!🙏🌻🤠🤣🤗‼ thankfully to both of you flower friends!! ♥️🦉🌻🌻🌻
"Things are going pretty good" after he describes crazy weather, crop loss of baptista and lilacs and a dead van. The ultimate optimist! The falconry is so cool! What cute babies. Thanks for the updates on the sunflowers!
@@sunflowersteve3940 Rain and a nap, now that's good. I'm a half full girl myself, but still it's hard to take a hit like that. The sunflowers will surely make up for it tho, they are amazing.
How great is Sunflower Steve? Despite everything that he has on his plate, he still made time to fit in some filming! We appreciate hearing about the realities of this business. Mother Nature can be pretty tough sometimes. Love the Falcons. Thanks for bringing us Steve's updates. What a team! Unimpressed with Facebook's initial response to the scam page but pleased that they've taken it down for you now. Hanging out for your next video already. Can't get enough
So sweet of you Nicole, to showcase Steve's work. Maybe he'll start his own channel some day. Looking forward to your next Flower Hill Farm video too :)
What an interesting and informative video! How cool that Sunflower Steve is a licensed Master Falconer! I love seeing the massive numbers of flowers, too! I am so glad you were able to take down the "dupe'r" and I hope it never happens again!!
God bless Sunflower Steve! Thank you for introducing us to him. He is such an inspiration, not only as a flower farmer, but also, and most importantly, as a person. He is such a humble and kind salt-of-the-earth person. I wish the best for him, his family, and his flower farm. Please keep us updated on the sunflower crop!
I've started sunflowers twice now in greenhouse and planted out at about 5". Each time they are getting eaten. I have no idea what is eating these. ugh Sunflower Steve -- love the shirts you were wearing God Bless. Steve!!! a man of many talents - licensed master falconer! wow! :)
I’m also seeing dupe advertising comments on a lot of homesteading UA-cam pages this week so keep your eyes peeled for that too. They basically dupe your UA-cam account (pics/names, etc) and then post on the real UA-cam account videos with a scammie link on each subscriber comment. It looked automated. So frustrating. I just want to shake these people and tell them to get an honest job. 🙄
He’s getting good in front of the camera guys… he’s gettin good!!! Can’t wait to see videos from him once things start blooming! Thank you Steve your doing awesome!!!
Glad to hear this has been a crazy-weather spring and not the norm. This is my first year flower farming and it’s been a struggle - I’ve never watched the weather so closely for rain!
Wow, those deeper autumn-leaf colored doubles are so gorgeous! Steve is such a hard worker, thanks Nicole for keeping up posted on Steve’s farm :) Quick question for Nicole or any knowledgeable commenter- are Steve’s special sunflowers a branching or single stem type sunflower?
Thank you for sharing an update from sunflower Steve with all the challenges and positivities of farming ❤️. Helps build an understanding and appreciation for all the hard work out in every crop be it flowers or vegetables. As mentioned many times before, it is wonderful to see collaborations with other farmers! This expands the knowledge and experience shared across such a wide range of produce! Thank you once again for a wonderful video and update 💕can not wait for more :)
Great job Steve. Lots of interesting tidbits: Falcons, plants at different stages & heights, etc. Love the porch lights. Nicole, it's encouraging to hear FB is FINALLY doing something about the scammers on their site. Another great video!
Hello from Ellsworth, Wi! Thank you Steve and Nicole for taking the time from those precious daylight hours to show us all your hard work! Love all the beauty!
Hey Steve - your video is GREAT!! No worries about anything you're considering a negative, one of the reasons we all LOVE You Tube content is bcuz it's REAL CONTENT! The weather this year is CRAZY everywhere!! As I'm sure you're aware. I too have noticed You Tubers all over the globe reporting how extreme the weather has been, and we're only half way thru the year!! Yikes! I'm in Texas, so another crazy thing (just to me) is how you normally don't have to water your crops!! How wonderful that must be! I really hope the heat doesn't cause you anymore problems... Happy Father's Day - I hope you slept right thru it!!! I look forward to seeing more from your farm, it looks AMAZING!!! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 (The sunflower emoji is required here, right... ?!)
He is so darn sweet! Sweet Sunflower Steve! Love that he’s a raptor fan - love of the land - flora - fauna & birdies💗 Love his attachment to FHF! Blessings ☀️🥰 from 🇨🇦
Well praise the Lord that you got something done thru Facebook. That is awesome! Glad to hear your peony harvest was great. I am loving Sunflower Steve's shirt!!!!! Omg! I walk around singing that...lol. I really wish I could bottle up all the rain we got yesterday thru 3 in the morning. It was awful here. We had rain coming from an odd direction and the wind gusts were scary. Our weather too has been really odd this year. I pray for you to have a great sunflower harvest Steve. Blessings to you, your wife and children. Great video God bless
I love Sunflower Steve and how he is mentoring you and all of us. Who knew that a dip during seeding would make the plants different heights. Thanks for sharing!
Facebook - "It's not against their policy..." 💦 Pffffthhhhh 💦 👅 💦 Raspberries is my answer to them!!! I REALLY DISLIKE FB. Can you tell? Is it showing??? Yeah... I wish they would fold up shop. Their app is soooo invasive to all who participate!! And Such a nuisance policy... I say - GOOD FOR YOU NICOLE 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 for shutting down the posers!! Hopefully you won't have to spend any more time on that nonsense. Can you imagine how much time Garden Answer would have to spend if they kept up w all their posers?!!

Really enjoyed Steve’s update! The birdies were so cute! I’ve been praying for rain for all the farmers out there 🙏🏻 God’s Not Dead! Loved the first and second movie!
Everyone in the world lives the same. I was on UA-cam a little earlier and a little late, so it's just the difference I haven't shown yet, but it seems like it's only me that's having a hard time, and the worries that only make myself more impatient come from greedy. You have the ability to make my heart happy and attractive the more I watch your videos. Your video I'm watching right now is the best and it's so beautiful and good that I can't compare it to other channels. When you don't want it, positive energy will always rush towards you, so please make more good videos for you in the future. Even if I don't have to rush, watching your videos makes me feel like I'm getting more and more love, so my heart is really happy. A video of you guided by a certain algorithm on UA-cam that is like the universe. When I clicked on it because it caught my eye, joy came to my heart and I was able to start the day sweetly and pleasantly, so I am grateful to you. As long as you have worked hard for your dream, you will surely succeed. We support! I hope that the disease will disappear as soon as possible, and at the same time, I would like to express my sincere praise and support for your channel to develop into a very large channel.
Fascinating to see how differently the flowers in Steve’s fields grow depending on the planter depth, really enjoying his updates. Happy Father’s Day to Steve, your Dad and your Brad!
Amazing is all I have to say about your UA-cam vlog. I just came across it via another gardening vlog. You are a hoot, I love your flowers. Just wish you lived closer to me. I live in N. Eastern KY and love flowers, perennials mostly. I have been trying to surround my home with perennials since moving home to my childhood farm. I’m hooked on your videos and write down some of the flowers you grow to add to my home garden. Keep them coming..❤️🌷💐🦋
Hi Steve 👋 Nut Sedge is the worst, keeping that weed seed bank down with them is so tough. A tarp helps... Hoss Tools sells some nice ones but I'm sure you can get them cheaper as a commercial Gardner. I've had ok luck with doing that with sedge but it's really a multi year project because that stuff is prolific!
Thanks for updating us on Steve. Can’t wait for his sunflowers to bloom! And I think it is so awesome that he is a falconer and into birds and I think it’s awesome that you’re into birds too! They are such amazing creatures and so important to the ecosystem. My daughter became obsessed with birds from age 3 to about 9 and she became literally a bird expert. She had her bird field guides, stuffed Audubon birds, etc. Our whole family got into birds because of her. I love them all and would love to see kestrels. The only ones I’m frustrated with right now are catbirds which are waiting for my blueberries, and goldfinches which are eating my queen lime zinnia petals!! 🥲
Thanks for sharing Sunflower Steve. What a great guy! Great farm, family and falcons! Loved the tour. Poor guy needs some sleep, and rain! What does he get??? A bug suiciding at his tonsils! Yikes!
I’m sorry to hear about Sunflower Steve’s troubles with his lilacs. Mine were really spotty in zone 5b Iowa. We have 7 year old bushes that had blooms but our 70+ year old lilac did not bloom at all this year. It had bloomed last year in the spring and again in October. I read if lilacs bloom outside of their normal season they might not bloom at all the following spring. I’m hoping that’s what happened. The weather has been so hot and dry in Iowa.
It's very very beautiful culture! It's such culture research!Thank you so much and family members and friends so much!!together!and ..a beautiful girl so much 😄😅🐷🎹🎺😂🎶🐱🐐🐑🎻🎷🐪🐴🐫🎶🎵🎺🎸🎧🕭🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇾🇪and a lot of videos show me to America today and Tomorrow!!!
Praying for rain for sunflower Steve and so many farmers who need it. It's dry here in central southern Virginia also. Nearby in the suburbs Chesterfield co. has had much more rain, we are only 50 minutes away.
We had a lot of cold this year but very little spring. Went from sweatshirts and long pants to hot, hot, hot. Not the type of weather I like. Hard to work your butt off in the garden when it is this hot. I am way behind schedule. The heat just saps all your energy and I'm not a spring chicken anymore.
Love u Steve i also go pray for water. I still have not planted my dahlias, strawflowers or snapdragons. My peonies did not even bloom modt of the blooms just died.
This has been the weirdest weather, we finally got some rain and a cool down here in central Michigan 😅….. Steve, I grew up on a dairy farm and understand the gamble you take every year with the weather…… you gotta “love” what you do to keep going. Nicole and Steve……We have about 2 acres of landscape gardens and I really appreciate all the information on growing and cutting flowers, learn something new all the time from you guys. Thanks so much for giving your precious time to us!
Hey Sweet Pea. Thank you for bringing Sunflower Steve onto your channel. Please let him know that I don’t want diamonds I just want some of his precious sunflower seeds. Can’t get the varieties here that you have. I planted pansies and linarias today which I started from seeds. So much love to you
I am battling tons of issues I never have before. Cucumber beetles gave my cucs bacterial wilt, cantaloupe leaves turning yellow and dying, slugs DEVOURING plants, mice, moles, chipmunks eating the base of plants, bunnies, kale starting to look diseased, apple tree being attacked by some kind of nasty looking worm. I am sure things will come through for the most part, but I will tell you what...every time I turn around something else is going wrong. And I am tired 😢
For that field with the nutsedge, till one more time after cropping, plant red clover for winter cover crop, mow mid-spring, cover with a nice layer of compost, plant Sudan grass next late spring, (it will out compete the weeds)mow every 10-14 days, leave the organic matter to build up over the warm season, shallow till in late summer to stir up organic matter and expose top layer of weed seeds, allow enough time for them to still germinate and repeat. Perhaps devise a cover crop plan that builds organic matter in your soil. Each crop removes layers of topsoil, without adding it back to the field the more shallow the plot becomes over time, that nut grass seed bank was there all along it seems, the least amount of tillage possible would greatly benefit that plot.
Steve is awesome, blooper outakes and all. Tell him not to worry! He's going real farm work, and we appreciate his time. BTW, his outakes are pretty funny, and hope he catches up on some sleep!
We used to use the foliage for filler all the time when we did mixed bouquets for farmers market. Yellow Baptisia looks like Eucalyptus even more than the Blue. And the Yelow Bap has really cool seed pods that look like round green grapes for about 10 days before they turn dark and can be used for texture.
Is there any way of reaching out directly to sunflower Steve? I have a Baptisia australis that has grown a sport. Absolutely gorgeous yellow and green variegated foliage!! It does flower, and it does that seed that did germinate for me this year, however I’m trying to find out if there is a way that I can take cuttings from the plant itself because they have completely outgrown the space that they are in and sadly, need to be removed. I just wonder if he has any experience with doing cuttings and how I would go about making them
I have never done cuttings but I know it is done. However, I have divided them in the fall and spring when they are dormant to multiply clones of the parent plant.
How do you deal with the sunflower seed theft? Especially with the chipmunks 🐿? Do you just heavy sow a bed? I have them take most. It can be devastating lol I have procut sunflowers. I don’t have grow lights Inside so I don’t wanna start indoors and to transplant after.
Oh man i love his lights....i.want.his flowers...soo bad... My soil will hold.water. Maybe half a day but we dont get it after mid june no matter what...if.i.was young id move next.door....he would hate me . Cause id sneak over all the time...grab me.a lot.of.flowers.and make.arraignments for all the neighbors..like i do now with my tiny.garden .wonder if he would plant me.some ..

Living in southern Wisconsin, hoping Sunflower Steve enjoys his Father's Day of much needed rain. This video was so enjoyable!
I did enjoy Fathers day with almost 5 inches of rain, whoo whoo.

Farms flowers AND loves birds. Steve is the best. Love watching the clips he sends you. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, those deeper autumn-leaf colored doubles are so gorgeous! Steve is such a hard worker, thanks Nicole for keeping up posted on Steve’s farm :)
Quick question for Nicole or any knowledgeable commenter- are Steve’s special sunflowers a branching or single stem type sunflower?
Most are single stems, there are a about 5 percent that have side buds for branching and once the main head is done blooming it will branch.

Hey Sweet Pea. Thank you for bringing Sunflower Steve onto your channel. Please let him know that I don’t want diamonds I just want some of his precious sunflower seeds. Can’t get the varieties here that you have. I planted pansies and linarias today which I started from seeds. So much love to you
omigodomigod...driving home from grocery shopping and listening to a podcast, I swear I heard your voice doing a Progressive Auto Insurance ad!
It has been a strange growing season .here in Iowa we are still in a drought which is not normal.
I am battling tons of issues I never have before. Cucumber beetles gave my cucs bacterial wilt, cantaloupe leaves turning yellow and dying, slugs DEVOURING plants, mice, moles, chipmunks eating the base of plants, bunnies, kale starting to look diseased, apple tree being attacked by some kind of nasty looking worm. I am sure things will come through for the most part, but I will tell you what...every time I turn around something else is going wrong. And I am tired 😢
@@tinaholbrook9719 oh man that sounds like a nightmare😭 hope that you are able to catch a break soon.
@@LittleIowa me too. It sucks to put tons of effort in only to have it undone 😢
Steve - great to see the progress with the all the flowers. Looking forward to the next update.
you bet
Wonderful for people to have so much purpose in your lives. Thanks for being will to share with us.
For that field with the nutsedge, till one more time after cropping, plant red clover for winter cover crop, mow mid-spring, cover with a nice layer of compost, plant Sudan grass next late spring, (it will out compete the weeds)mow every 10-14 days, leave the organic matter to build up over the warm season, shallow till in late summer to stir up organic matter and expose top layer of weed seeds, allow enough time for them to still germinate and repeat. Perhaps devise a cover crop plan that builds organic matter in your soil. Each crop removes layers of topsoil, without adding it back to the field the more shallow the plot becomes over time, that nut grass seed bank was there all along it seems, the least amount of tillage possible would greatly benefit that plot.
You guys are great!! Thanks for sharing Lana Stewart
Closed Captioning please Thank you for all what do you for us.
I’m so sorry the scam happened. Seems like it’s going around…. Anyway, I wanted to ask what CSA stood for? Thanks hugs and love from Texas!
Cant wait to see what the purple cotyledons turn out to be!!
Steve is awesome, blooper outakes and all. Tell him not to worry! He's going real farm work, and we appreciate his time. BTW, his outakes are pretty funny, and hope he catches up on some sleep!
Got a 4 hour nap and almost 5 inches of rain. So my prayers were answered and all is well with the world.
Praying for Sunflower Steve!!
Thank you Cynthia, prayers were answered. Almost 5 inches today, hence the reason I have time to reply. God bless.

Thanks
Sunflower Steve and his rolling rows of ...
? 😖
Painted myself into a corner there I guess... 😳 🙄
Have you or Steve ever used Baptesia as a filler? It’s beautiful (almost looks like eucalyptus) and it holds for WEEKS in the vase!!
Yes Steve breeds it. Very special varieties coming soon! He also plans to sell bare roots this fall.
We used to use the foliage for filler all the time when we did mixed bouquets for farmers market. Yellow Baptisia looks like Eucalyptus even more than the Blue. And the Yelow Bap has really cool seed pods that look like round green grapes for about 10 days before they turn dark and can be used for texture.
I love seeing what Sunflower Steve is doing! Poor guy was so tired at the end.
Got almost 5 inches of rain today and a 4 hour nap. Bring on the sunflowers.
Yay sunflower Steve!
Yay you!
Is there any way of reaching out directly to sunflower Steve? I have a Baptisia australis that has grown a sport. Absolutely gorgeous yellow and green variegated foliage!! It does flower, and it does that seed that did germinate for me this year, however I’m trying to find out if there is a way that I can take cuttings from the plant itself because they have completely outgrown the space that they are in and sadly, need to be removed. I just wonder if he has any experience with doing cuttings and how I would go about making them
I have never done cuttings but I know it is done. However, I have divided them in the fall and spring when they are dormant to multiply clones of the parent plant.
So I am assuming that all gardeners,especially flower, also love their birds and pollinators. I know I sure do.
How do you deal with the sunflower seed theft? Especially with the chipmunks 🐿? Do you just heavy sow a bed? I have them take most. It can be devastating lol I have procut sunflowers. I don’t have grow lights Inside so I don’t wanna start indoors and to transplant after.
Sunflower Steve is a Master Falconer. He gets even more cool in my book with each video!
What is Steve going to have his own UA-cam channel? I would definitely subscribe!
"Crazy stupid cold", boy do we knew all about that.
I lost it when he swallowed the bug. LOL
LOVE SUNFLOWER STEVE!!!!!!
