Flower Friends! It's Nicole from Flower Hill Farm- Go to earthbreeze.com/flowerhill to get started with 40% off Earth Breeze Eco Sheets!
THIS is the Nicole of old…energetic, a bit of rambling, excited and so fun!! Welcome back Nicole❣️Love, love, love your dream garden…gardens are always a work in progress, they evolve and grow every year. I wish you continued joy in your gardening endeavours! The solar lights are spectacular too…it IS magical❣️
We needed her to just come back home to her “roots” for a bit.
Think the veggie area needs an adorable little potting she shed addition. 😊
Who else cried out Noooooo when Nicole pulled out the petunia?!?! 😅😂
Raised garden bed weed prevention tip: cut the fabric INSIDE of the bed and keep it lining the walls in the bed, that way you prevent the gap around the base on the outside where weeds can grow around the fabric. Neat and tidy! 😊
I highly recommend Pink Lemonade Blueberries when you are ready to add some more. Beautiful Garden
Hello from London dear Nicole 😃 How fab to finally get a chance to catch up with you now that things have calmed down a bit at the nursery and a very well done to all involved in this season's success. You do look so well and refreshed and quite literally "full of beans" ! Loving your raised beds and everything growing in them especially the eggplants. It is so good to see you back in top shape with this energy and positive vibe we love so much. First I heard of the white marble beads and that will indeed be quite expensive to use as a ground cover but it will complement beautifully your raised beds for a contemporary look. You will smile but I first spotted the frog, I first thought that you creating a Japanese style mini garden in a rather odd place 😅 Those mini melons tasting of lemon are new to me. Your cabbages are looking so pretty. You really had me smiling with your "son of a gun" cabbage worms. Well done Inspector Nicole ! The cherry peppers are looking good. Loving the orange coloured u shape beds. I like that you keep it real for us to see things are they truly are. I can really recommend the Bernini battery powered fountain as made of Firmastone and available in 4 colours, terracotta being my favourite. What amazes me is that it did not look that much when we first discovered your raised bed garden but now that you are creating a sense of perspective and design and when the white marble beads soil will be in place, it will be rather spectacular and such a happy place for you to enjoy. Your adventurous little petunia reminds on a little guy who seeded itself in a gutter below my planters in France and bloomed so nicely like a real little trooper. Yes, Life always does find a way ! Oh that is a real bummer that the compost you purchased from the city is full of weeds ! Thanks God that only 5 beds were affected. In terms of solar lighting, I am a big fan of Luxform lights and Garden Reflections lights. Aren't we all like kids when it comes our lights coming to life in the evening ! You have made my day as always 😊💚
I had to show your lights to my husband. He is the lighting designer in the family and has done a wonderful job illuminating rocks and trees. I hope you have inspired him!
I just showed them to my husband too but because I was telling him I wanted some for our vegetable garden lol
Your new veggie garden is beautiful. I love all the lights ✨. And what a wonderful skill Veda will gain learning how to edit videos. That would be a big help for you. ❤
When your vegetable garden is finished it's gonna look amazing with all the lights. Love the orange beds
Nicole, you're like a kid with a new toy! Love your enthusiasm.
That is gorgeous, especially in the evening. We don’t sit out much because of mosquitos but I’d love to be able to sit out later in the evening and enjoy the garden! You’ve given me some great ideas for next year 😊😊😊
So glad to see you back in the garden at home, welcome back!!!!
It’s just so inspirational and exciting and it’s you… so proud of you but like other said this is our Nicole she’s back and the garden is beautiful. Definitely getting some of those lights.
I love your excitement about the lights turning on! My mom and I do that too. She has a bunch of lights in her garden and I only have a couple so far but it makes both of us so happy. My mom has 2 of the firework ones and I adore them!
After seeing your lights I’m going to put some in my garden thank you greetings from Switzerland
great job Veda!!! you go girl!!! Oh, and thanks Nicole for sharing the garden in progress..
Your garden at night is magical! I love it!
Absolutely beautiful!!!! Good for you!!!! Everyone needs that "special place". Yours is magical!! ❤
That is fantastic, so magjical at night time. Thanks so much for sharing You never stop amazing us.
It’s beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Good luck Veda with your new job❤
What a wonderful garden space. With the lights it is just magical. Love the firework lights!❤
✨️✨️✨️What a magical space! The fairies are loving it without a doubt! I'm so incredibly happy for you! We've been working on our new vegetable garden space for the last couple of years, and it brings me so much joy and now I realize that I need so much more solar lights because it really is the icing on the cake!
Oh wow! I love your garden. Thank you for sharing it. Its beautiful
Nicole... After all your hard work you deserve that beautiful garden... Enjoy peace and serenity ❤❤❤
You’ve inspired me to light up my little urban front yard garden
Nicole is back. Full of life and beautiful energy. I am so happy for you. I am looking forward to videos that show us your fun project. I look forward t all your videos from day 1. I wish you tons of happy times in your garden.
It’s so magical my husband added lights to our grape arbor and I just love it. I love the lanterns and mushrooms. 🍄
It's positively magical, Nicole! You have been working soooo hard!! We can feel your JOY!! 🩷
Just love your new veggie patch and I think Veda nailed the editing. Thanks for keeping it real.
I have a raised bed garden area with 25 beds. It is angoant U shape with a cluster of 4 in the center. I absolutely love being in my space. I need some lights though and you have given me some great ideas
I have several Vego beds and recently I ordered their solar lights that attach to the beds by magnets. So nice. You can move them around wherever you want them and they stay on really well. Love your garden. I completely understand your enthusiasm.
I know you work hard But thank you for taking us along into your 'magical garden'. ILOVEIT!!! Thank You Vayta (sp?) for helping your Mom. Continued Blessings!
Love your videos, happy you are smiling big again!
Be careful with all bright white rock. It will reflect the heat up to the metal beds and anything that is growing over the edges. I find it burns plants that touch it. I use a mix of gray and cream and love it.
I love the entire build of raised beds as well as the solar light display. Your enthusiasm is contagious. I also use earthbreeze and try to convince people to stop buying those heavy bottles to the landfill. you go girl!
Everything is so beautiful
Such a happy place!!! Love it all! Looks like all the vegs love growing there! ❤️👍🏻
Love love love your lights! I put some around my trees in the front so that when people back up,at nigh5 they would know where the beds were around them. But the fareden, is a game changer! Got to get mine done now! Lol hugs from Texas!
Love your raised bed garden and what a wonderful idea to add all the different lights so you can enjoy the space in the evening too! I think the cabbage and broccoli look so beautiful! Great job editing, Veda!
Beautiful veg garden!
beautiful! love the space, can’t wait to see it evolve over time 🪄🥰
That’s a lot of beds! My raised beds are wood and because I built them 3 years apart, the wood color/aging is slightly different and it gives me anxiety😵💫! Kudos to you for being able to work with all the different colors/styles/shapes. Curious if all the lights attract more unwanted insects and also I assume you’re watering it all by hand for now? Happy gardening🌸
So glad you’re creating such a peaceful and soon-be-productive space!!!
Stacie from rochester here lol. So refreshing to see what your up too!!!! I didn't know I needed all the lights until now LOL!!!!!!!
Love your garden Nicole! Those lights are a must have for my garden now! Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh talk about a gardeners playground! Love it!! Thank you Veda - looking forward to your work!
Beautiful and so much fun!
That’s would be most gardeners happy place.
The veggie garden looks fantastic! 🤗
I just love your new garden spaces and all of the lovely fairy lights!! I just need some of these!!!
I appreciate your real life videos! I love, love, love your raised beds!
Love the fairy lights. I have the same lights in my garden, I find the firework lights last forever but the round white ones have been a disappointment. When filling deep beds I like to use the Hugelkulter method. I use stumps, sticks, leaves, and other organic matter. No rot-resistant woods like cedar or black walnut. I've been doing this for years and topping it off with nice soil, works great!
So magical! I love the mushrooms. Tell Veda GREAT JOB!!!!
I’m so happy for you Nicole ❤ I also love the lighting in my raise bed garden ! It makes it so magical
It’s so good to see you. I’m sure there are many that feel like your family so when we don’t see you we kinda worry. Anyway you have such a lovely family we want to be part of it lol. Take care the garden is beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m glad you have a special place to relax and enjoy your hard work! Love how you created your lighting! Love your videos always.
Absolutely gorgeous
Please do a time lapse of your garden going from day to night! I love what you’ve done with it so far!! And good luck to Veda editing. It’s awesome how you are able to involve your family in all aspects of your professional life.
This is just stunning.....you have e such great ideas. I too, am putting in raised beds with landscape cloth. Makes my life easier!!
Oh my stars - it's just lovely! What a labor of love - and a huge investment! And it's just so so pretty! Thank you for sharing - it's inspiring!
Absolutely Beautiful!!
I want to get some of these lights for my garden next year. Thank You for sharing
Leave it to you to make such a great productive space, also whimsical and fun! Looks great. My favorite lights are the mushrooms...so cute. Makes me happy to see you happy!
Oh WOW just WOW❤❤🎉🎉 it's like fantastical fairy heaven! Talk about turning veggie gardening into something fabulous!
You'll have to give us an update if the Tophat survives in your raised container next summer. Mine did not that I had in a 25 gallon pot, zone 4b.
So exiting! I finally finished my raised bed garden. I have my fountain, my bird bath. The only thing left is my picket fence and it’s done. It’s just magical. I feel your energy and excitement being in that space, just like I still feel everyday. Grandpa would love it. ❤
You certainly go all in when you do something. We only have built 16 raised beds and thought that was a project. We fabricated all our own which was a bit more work. When it comes to filling them we fill the bottom third to half with rotting wood fiber and then some form of soil and top off with 2-3 inches of compost. We have 28 acres mixed fields and woods, so we can access all this ourselves. I make compost from raking up hay and wood fiber I buy from sawmills or get free. One tip, if you go to your Lowes, TSC, or other ag stores and ask a manager about purchasing damaged bags you can often get a huge discount. I made a deal with a local big box that I wold take all their damaged mulches and soils. They palletize them and when they get 3-4 skids I go pick it up. I pay pennies on the dollar for these, but you end up with all kinds of product. We use it all in some form or another. To get the best deal you have to be willing to take large quantities, but you can use them.
You have been so busy! Love the garden.. It's magical! Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!
Im so happy you have a space of your own! You can tell how happy it makes you🥰
I have solar lights in my garden too. Hoping to detour skunks and other varmints.
Love all your raised beds.
Love the addition of the lights!
Beautiful garden Nicole!! So happy for you! Video edit was also great!
That green is known as British racing green. I'd love a little vintage MG in that colour.
Hey Nicole, you should try cabbage moth decoys! They are really effective at deterring moths from laying eggs on your brassicas.
I don't know about your blueberry bushes but my information that I was given is that you need to have two different kinds of blueberry bushes.
So grab that other herb round bed and put another blueberry bush in it and put them next to each other for the best pollination. Like I said that's just what I was told. I'm right outside of Cincinnati zone 6B.
But I love how your garden is shaping up. Maybe at my next property I'll have as much room. My goal is to move here soon. been dreaming about getting out of this little Urban Homestead. I have to secretly keep my chickens. Nothing is allowed in this city. so.... I must go!
But I love what you're doing! It's just gorgeous! That's how I'm going to flip my whole backyard Garden!
Since 2019 my space has just been a mixture of all kinds of methods. It's only about 1,000 square feet, and I'm trying all the things so, it's more of a potager classroom Garden.
Anyway, I'm flipping mine over to exactly this as well.
I learned about the wood chips. The best part of my garden is the original first to raised beds that I built and they are on top of only fabric. I just keep it leaf blower cleaned. Love walking out there with my bare feet. Of course I tried the grass in some of the areas and that is horrid.
Now I call that spot the hay field Lol😅
By Spring next year my little garden will looks so huge and bountiful, in all containers on fabric! It's going to look stunning when I go to sell. 😁
I'm already a night light princess so there's all kinds of color changing and twinkling warm lights back there now.❤
I'm anxious to see by the end of this video what you think about the Amazon beds. I was so so excited to get some myself that look like they were wood textured. That was going to be great the look of wood but the strength of steel... But I opened the box and was disappointed to see that the printed wrap design could simply be scratched off with my fingernail. I taped it right back up and sent them back. What a bummer!!
Oh and by the way, Living Traditions Homestead did the same thing. They chose to do a fabric covered raised bed area and I looked at all the beds and they chose the hard to pronounce one. But they love what they've done as well! I don't know if Kevin is pronouncing it right but he says "VEJ-JAY-GO"
WHEN I FIRST HEARD HIM I THOUGHT HE SAID VAJAYJAY!! 😂😂
I have missed your video's. I can understand you being overwhelmed with all you do though!! Wow, that garden will be beautiful. My dream garden😊 The beds are pretty expensive so I wouldn't be able to afford them... I love yours though!!! Great to have you back!!!
Nicole I hear the energy renewed in your soul and spirit!!
I start my day in my garden and it’s lights sl peaceful . I’m on a river so the sounds of geese ducks great but herons . I’m smiling and relaxed watching !!
Well done Veda 👏🏻👏🏻it’s a lot of work but fun!!
You’re amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your dream garden! It’s beautiful!! And good to have you back!
Love your new veggie garden . I get just as excited as you when my solar lights turn on ❤
This makes me so happy!
Awesome veggie garden, l also purchase many solar lights for my front yard garden, and backyard...l come out and sit on my porch to view the awesomeness of the lights, reminds me of my childhood trying to catch fireflies ❤
Beautiful beautiful beautiful .❤. Please discuss how you irrigate these beds?
Absolutely gorgeous, Nicole! A true dream garden....!
I love it so much! I need lights in my veggie garden now!
Decomposed granite is what a lot of people use in their gardens. It’s what I’m going to use for the ease of walking on and it’s available in bulk and it’s economical. Do you use BT to control your cabbage worms? I have 5 4x20 ft raised beds and I’d love to have more. Your garden is beautiful!!
Beautiful, we have missed you. Hope you are resting and healing, life can be difficult. But, worth it!! Your Grandpa would be so proud, my sure he smiling down from heaven!
Vego Garden makes trellis that mount on the outside. I’ve used Olle, Vego Garden, and Birdies, and find them to be mostly the same, with the exception being that some provide longer panels and some also provide bracing rods.
You look fabulous!! The farm is in your blood and it shows!
Love ❤️ the new garden! And that marble gravel is awesome. Always keep it to a thin layer. Over time, it will collect dust and start filling in and even grow some weeds after a few years. Keep it thin and is is really easy to sweep it up, sift and/or wash it and reapply it to the same space.
On the pronunciation of Vegega look at Living Traditions Homestead. They've been communicating with the company and I think they have it right. Look back last winter when they are building their new gardens and they say the name a lot.
Okay, watching the lights come on is so cool! I have cafe lights that all come on at once. I may just have to add several of these.
Always great to see the updates when we can get them. Not sure how you do it all anyway! 😊
Also, my mom recently moved to an assisted living facility and she still loves watching you!
Mulch mulch and more mulch! Pull and drop those weeds as well. That will help too! Leaving the beds bare soil will just be more headache.
Obsessed with the garden!! Also obsessed with how strong your shoulders and arms are looking! Get it girl!!
@37:50. I heard you while Mom was watching and I immediately thought of THE BURBS when I heard you say that. Mr Klopek! Have a great weekend!
Ooooh I love your space! I've added lights to my space this year and I love it so much! ❤ I just told my husband yesterday that I need a sitting area of some kind.
Do you have a bagger on your mower? If not, rake when you cut your lawn and put the grass clippings nice and thick on your raised beds to feed your soil as well as keeping the weeds out! If you have worms in your beds, you will see the grass clippings disappear and find the worms are pulling the grasses down into the soil. This will work on raised beds or in your gardens on the ground, builds up no-till soils as well!
You have created a spiritual calming space for your soul....ASE💚
I love my solar lights, I'm a total geek about them to. I have six in the front that cast a sunflower on the ground and two in the back that are draped through my weeping redbud and Japanese maple trees. Ony bummer is they don't get enough sunlight in the winter to last all night. Needless to say I love to open the curtains in the morning and close late at night just to see them.
Temu must love you. Sadly some of the little round lights don't last very long. The dandelions lasted me for 3 years. And they are wonderful at Christmas. I bought some wonderful butterfly lights that I think you would like
So pretty! From the porch it almost looks like a far away City at night. And I'd recommend that you put down concrete pebble stone (super cheap) then top it all with the white marble. Save a few and still have the look. I think the lights on the white marble at night will be amazing! You do know that weeds will still sprout in stone, right? Weeds are so determined! If our plants had only half the drive! OK I won't...Love your shirt! Peace.
Love your garden! The crickets and frogs are the most peaceful sound ever. Nature’s lullaby
Your chickens will enjoy those cabbage caterpillars. 🐛
Beautiful!! Now I want lights in my raised beds!! 😂❤
🌱About time you build a little paradise for yourself!! Thanks for sharing your progress and remaining so transparent. I love that about yourself. I always enjoy your sense of humor and presentations. I hope Veda continues to help you with the video editing. You surely have your hands full. You have definitely inspired me to add some lights to my garden. Have a blessed rest of the summer. 🌱
Soooo beautiful
