OMG Nicole!!! Was so pleasantly surprised to see you open my package during filming 😁. Just my way of saying thank you for all that I am learning from you. Not to mention....the entertainment. You are a delight 💜
You are also part of the value in the flowers you sell. I bet you bring sunshine to your customers with every bouquet you make! Thanks for another great video 😊
I did a search for Flower Farms in NY and learned that there's a flower farm about 5 minutes away from me! So if Catalpa Flower Farms is reading this I just want to say Hi Neighbor! Happy to hear Gina is on social media. I'm going to find her right now.
You make me sooo happy when I watch your videos! Ican't do much anymore because I have 'lupus', But I sure can feel all the joy and enthusiasm you have and that does it for me. Blessings to you and your 'farm family'. Thats Brad Pitt, kids, dogs, cats, chickens, other pets I dont know about.
I have 4 kitties and 2 dogs and no one messes with any flowers except Gizzy which is my handicapped kitty she eats everything including styrofoam balls so we have to watch her like a hawk. I just brought all my pepper and tomatoes in and locked in the bathroom and I was in there she pushed the door open and made a beeline for my pepper plant! Little stinker. Caught her in time! Holy 🌼 daffodils how beautiful!!!
And now it is stuck in my head - and will be "for the longest time"..ohh ohhh ohhh oooh. So happy to see how you do your CSA.. So much new flower language I heard tonight -Bud tight, color cracked, floater ( well a new meaning that is).. Perfect timing with the Zinnia TV Preview - I hope you will talk about how you start them and do you do them in soil blocks as well.. etc. I will be tuned in looking for the ZTV episode.
I was amazed when my sweet peas survived a 21ﾟ night! Some of them had a lot more fillier damage than others but they started to send up more growth from the base And are doing perfectly!
Oh My Your going to be snap crazy... I'm watching as I move my seedlings from heat mat to lights.. AGAIN.. lol.. Its my first year seed starting and I am loving it. I feel like my 9 year old is jealous of these plants.. (So much time) I told her to help me.. She declined. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND CONTENT! Can't wait to see more!
Wow that is a lot of pricking out of snaps! At the public garden where I tend the flower garden, if we don't get to prick out and grow on annuals (it always happens), I go ahead and prick out directly to the garden and they come through just fine. FWIW in case you run out of time and want to experiment. ; )
I have learned, laughed and enjoyed all your wisdom in your videos. I'm planting my first potential cut flower garden and getting bulb beds for Fall ready. It is overwhelming but your bright and shiny energy lifts me up as I get my adventure into flowers going. Thank you for being so open and real!
This is so great! I'm loving catching up on some of your videos, but Gina is 20min from me. I'm a big gardener too, so I'll have to go see her, and you this summer :)
p.s. THANK YOU for beautifying our world and sharing your positivity, energy and cheer on these videos. I come here every day after watching the news to lift me out of the ditch of despair that media drags me into :)
Can’t wait to see how you saved your tomatoes! I think I might have early blight on my mortgage lifter tomatoes! 🥺 so tonight I sprayed the stems and leaves with baking Soda, Castile soap and water! 🤞🤞 Love you farm and channel! Your Daf’s are gorgeous!! Keep up the tremendous work! Love watching you! I hear you right now about being stretched in different directions, spring before the last frost IS insane GO time! Yikes! So many plants so many hours to out in to reach our dreams!!
The chum bucket!!!! Yes yes yes!!! Every time I use my fish emulsion it reminds me of the seals at the zoo! 🤢 so glad I’m not crazy. 🤣 love your videos! I’m learning a lot!
Your seedlings are a month old & I still haven't started mine here in Zone 5b. Hope I can get that done. We've been having a cold snap here too, so hope this spring warms gradually, & not suddenly hitting 80 degrees C. By the sounds that chicken is making, I hope she's not planning on feasting on your seedlings the minute you go back into the house! 🐔
I am so worried that my locality may not support anything other than 10 or 12.00 bouquets. 🤢🤢I really want to add tons of things besides flowers. I am selling at fsrmers markets so I may make up a.few larger bouquets at the higher price and give it a shot. Any tips? Also my dog kept trying to get into where he could smell the fish emulsion lol.
@@sharonjennings1282 I live in an area where things are sold pretty cheap as well but they are not going to be the quality that my flowers are going to be. Please do not lower your prices to where you do not make a good profit though. Sometimes you would be surprised what people are willing to pay when they learn that they are getting a better product. You are not competing with places like supermarkets in things that are getting their things wholesale, & shipped from overseas, and that are only lasting 3 days in a vase... Yours are going to be fresher and of better quality so that's like comparing apples to oranges. It's not the same product so you don't need to have the same price that they have. Also there are people out there that are willing to pay a premium for a product when they know that it is supporting a smalle local business. For example I go around multiple nurseries when I'm shopping for plants and if I find something at multiple nurseries I will go to the one that I know is ran by a family that buys is many things is possible locally... Even if it's at another town over & a little more expensive I'll l drive back to that 1 to buy my plants, Because I would rather support companies that try to keep the money local and support a local family rather than overseas, Specially when it comes to other products/ companies that are maybe being manufactured with slave labor!
@@sharonjennings1282 Just don't thank you have to sell things at a lower price to try to gain customers because all your doing is putting a lower value and if you ever try to raise that price without a good reason it's gonna be extremely hard to justify it. There not going to see it as your raising it because you need to make a profit because you weren't making a profit the year before there going to see it as your just trying to make more money... They are going to think back to that price from last year and feel like they shouldn't pay more than that. I used to have a homemade candle business and I waz basically giving away the candles at a extremely cheap price because I wanted people to try them and know that they are worth the higher price that I was actually wanting for them but when I tried to raise the price than no one wanted to pay it. And I didn't understand because there were other people with products that weren't as good as mine selling for even more money.
Funny, Gina and I live quite close! I'm Cedarville and she's Mohawk. That's neat. Can't wait to see more posts from her, I am always a few weeks behind up here on the Mountain! Love watching your videos 💜
Thank you for this video. I needed a good laugh after watching a depressing movie, "Nomadland." I check my tulips often and yesterday noticed some color crack on the yellowy orange ones. I'm worried the bunnies are also keeping an eye (or body) on them as some looked like something sat on a few of them. Time to sprinkle Repels-All. Is it possible to have too many snaps? I don't think so. At first I was struck that you and I have the same kitchen layout, but by the end I could see yours is square and mine is more of a U. But the open shelves next to the stove, mine too. 😀
I "dumped" quite a lot of my seeds this year..including basils and others. It was time consuming to seperate them but wow I got many more seedlings than soil blocking. I used the black Hefty "take out" containers and had really good luck.
Won’t you always be starting seeds in order to succession sowing? That is the part I struggle with. It’s such a juggle to be in all those places at the same time. Thanks
Girl you are crazy with all those snaps! Do you use that fish fertilizer in the flowers once they are in the ground too? I'm excited to see Gina's flowers.
Love it!!! Anyone else wondering where all the crap the rest of us keep on our counters went to??? 😂😂😂 Seriously, beautiful flowers and gorgeous kitchen!!!
Yep got a little snapdragons do you.... but seriously how could you go wrong with snapdragons I say millions of would be awesome... and the gift you got in the mail is absolutely stunning... what a wonderful gift
Gorgeous daffs Nicole. However, just a quick question, I cut my snapdragons just as bottom flowers opened, they looked great for one day, now the whole stems are looking like they are dying, limp and sad!!! Is there something I’m suppose to do when cutting?? Like hot water or something else?? I just cut and placed in cool water over night . Help please
Do you have a Kroger in a city near you? They give the black floral buckets away for free! I got over 50 , a floral manager said they just toss them in the trash and it kills her to throw them away. Maybe you can try there or ones like it in a bigger city when you’re out.mothers day would be a perfect time to check they get hundreds then . Hope it helps 💜😊
Exactly! They're fresher, they're local, & your customers are supporting a small U. S. business, Instead of a large, million dollar company that can afford to charge pennies per stem because they are buying & growing them by the millions!
I have sown florist dill, but my question is. Is there a difference between florist dill and the dill we use as a herb and now I wondering can I soak and sow the dill herb I have in the cupboard as they are not ground?
Heeeeey! Howz about puttin some of those Snaps up at the porch garden? You know, save 'em for yourself kinda thing... Maybe the deer won't find them? Ohhhhh, I just remembered... Prolly not enough sun over at the porch, right? yeah. Ok... Oh well...
Nicole! Do you have a humidity controlled cooler or just a refrigerator? I ask because I’d like to know if I can use my garage fridge safely until I can legit invest in a cooler !
OMG Nicole!!! Was so pleasantly surprised to see you open my package during filming 😁. Just my way of saying thank you for all that I am learning from you. Not to mention....the entertainment. You are a delight 💜

I was totally scoping out the kitchen faucet (I need a new one) it’s awesome!
We've just followed Gina. Good on her for launching her social media presence
My first Replete daffodil opened today! So beautiful! I love seeing yours in big bunches!

Yay! I have a video to watch while I work on the cutflower garden!
LOVE the tutorial on cut daffs!! PS
Black cats rock!!
19:15 As bad as me with trees. "I'm behind! way behind!" LOL
Lots of moving parts to your operation! The fact that you’re doing something this huge alone, for the most part, is super impressive❣️.You go girl!!!

Wonderful!
Gorgeous..good price..if you have a supermarket go to the deli or bakery and ask for the white buckets..besty rocks
💜🌺🌻
Well done Betsy!!
Thanks so much!
Enjoyed seeing your cool annual seedlings! Fellow soil blocker here from Lisa at gardeners workshop!
Your Lizzys are awesome,
Have started following Gina so now hope to learn and watch beautiful flowers from you both
EEEEEeeekkkkkk😍😍😍😍. 🌿🌿🌸🌺🌻🌻🌼🌿🌿🌿 FLOWERS =SPRING IS HERE!......( I’m freezing too! ) ...... beautiful flowers of Love ❤️!
Love lily tulips!!!! But as of now my passion is Replete daffodils
This is so great! I'm loving catching up on some of your videos, but Gina is 20min from me. I'm a big gardener too, so I'll have to go see her, and you this summer :)
Yes ... Gina is on social media! Perhaps we can get a tour ... one day ... maybe ? Seedling room look amazing, so well put together.
p.s. THANK YOU for beautifying our world and sharing your positivity, energy and cheer on these videos. I come here every day after watching the news to lift me out of the ditch of despair that media drags me into :)
Your daffodils are so beautiful! Also, my phlox needs planted soon. I guess I need to harden them off! I didn't realize they are so cold tolerant?
So much fun watching you!
I love that you use upcycled materials for your seedlings.
my lisanthus are still tiny i started the seeds in feb.
These are beautiful I cant wait for mine to start blooming.
That was the sweetest gift! (16:21 marker)
I planted replete daffodils too! 🤩 💐
Yay Gina! Going to check out her page as soon as I'm done transplanting my snaps!!!
Can’t wait to see how you saved your tomatoes! I think I might have early blight on my mortgage lifter tomatoes! 🥺 so tonight I sprayed the stems and leaves with baking Soda, Castile soap and water! 🤞🤞
Love you farm and channel!
Your Daf’s are gorgeous!!
Keep up the tremendous work! Love watching you!
I hear you right now about being stretched in different directions, spring before the last frost IS insane GO time! Yikes! So many plants so many hours to out in to reach our dreams!!
Beautiful!!! Yay for Gina!
I think so too!
I just love your music. So relaxing and calming 💚💚💚
Looking good! Never seen a replete floater before. :P
The chum bucket!!!! Yes yes yes!!! Every time I use my fish emulsion it reminds me of the seals at the zoo! 🤢 so glad I’m not crazy. 🤣 love your videos! I’m learning a lot!
Beautiful seedlings!! I love your seedling room - it looks magical 😊
Yay for Gina all the way from South Africa

good for you, please continue with that 'grown locally' education; so much more healthy, fresh and fragrant. Love what you are doing.

Yes!
Those Lizzie’s are great!
It would be so brilliant if we had a similar scheme in the UK - CSA is a model we should replicate.
I love the term panic starting seeds. I was able to over winter my snapdragon so I didn’t start any this season.
when do you start fertilizing your seedlings?
Daffodils are beautiful! Did you get your well fixed?
LOVE the sunglasses😁
Yes, another Flower Hill Farm video :) Quick question - how long do you rest the daffs for if you're going to mix with other flowers?
Won’t you always be starting seeds in order to succession sowing? That is the part I struggle with. It’s such a juggle to be in all those places at the same time. Thanks
Not really for me. I have very few successions because my season is so short. Sunflowers are the exception!
wow, I want to see your fridge!:)
Those Replete Daffs...
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Do they remind y'all of poached eggs ?
Or is it just me wanting
to eat flowers... ?😳?
i cant wait for dahlia season .....its almost time !!!!
If you store your flowers in rain water they last a lot longer. I do this to my bouquets and it extends the life for about 5 extra days
Oooh thank you cool tip I'll try it
Definitely trying, thanks!
When you first cut the daffodils and put them in the fridge do you put them in water and do you add flower food?
Girl you are crazy with all those snaps! Do you use that fish fertilizer in the flowers once they are in the ground too? I'm excited to see Gina's flowers.

Is there something I’m suppose to do when cutting?? Like hot water or something else?? I just cut and placed in cool water over night . Help please
short, stubby tulips..... I think its from lack of moister in springtime...... give them some water for longer stems.
Can I ask do you fertilise your plants once you have planted them outside and if so what with and is it weekly?
Betsy rocks!
Do you have a Kroger in a city near you? They give the black floral buckets away for free! I got over 50 , a floral manager said they just toss them in the trash and it kills her to throw them away. Maybe you can try there or ones like it in a bigger city when you’re out.mothers day would be a perfect time to check they get hundreds then . Hope it helps 💜😊
Just curious, what will you do with the tulip bulbs after this season?
They are harvested with the bulb.
How do you keep the flowers from drying out in the refrigerator?
Would you do a vegetable tour of everything you are growing?
Is it like tulip..if i cut the flower will it grow new year?
Exactly! They're fresher, they're local, & your customers are supporting a small U. S. business, Instead of a large, million dollar company that can afford to charge pennies per stem because they are buying & growing them by the millions!
Wish I could be your helper. Retiring in 2 months but I’m southern NY and that would be a bit of a commute 🙁
