🌷Tulip & Daffodil Harvest 🌼 : Daffodil Count So Far! : My Flower Fridge : Flower Hill Farm

Tahiti is my favorite and they smell like tropical fruit😮

I really miss these flower farming videos

Hey Nicole, just like you manifested your childhood home, you will have your shop too! I'm cheering for you! Greetings from California. ~Karla.

Nicole picks up her crate of harvested tulips.... I can tell she's in her happy place! 🌸❤

Hey Nicole, I loved your information about keeping the flowers dry in the fridge. Could you maybe do a video in the future of a list of methods of how to a)prolong flower life and b)hurry bloom? I know you give our pieces of this info in your videos but I think because you've had to adapt to not having a large fridge, you probably have amazing tricks to control the life span of a cut flower.

Such a hard worker!! Your mom, too!!

I wish we were closer. A friend bought a refrigeration unit from a flower shop and used it for produce and not selling produce any more. It’s approximately 10’x15’. .

Nicole, get a non working box freezer put it outside you can then use it as a fridge until it gets Hot outside! 🌹🌻

Nicole, all your fans will donate for a big fridge for you. Set it up. Godspeed

Wow, you're going to have such a beautiful display of tulips and daffs for Mother's Day! It's so nice of your mom to be helping you with your porch!

Listened to podcast this morning, very informative, he said refrigerator is a must, and I liked how she stores her tulips in craft paper and stores them in crates

I love watching the process. My back hurt on your behalf watching you bend to rinse the bulbs. lol. Your mom and mother in law are treasures!

I love the hyacinths in beginning.. very cute.

I'm dreaming of next years tulips! I only had about 500 this year and they all sold like hot cakes! All I have is a spare refrigerator too. Lol it works. 🤣

What an exciting time for you! Your business is out stripping your space. You are getting orders from your CSA and the florist. Your youtube is growing as well. You will work thing out and keep growing bigger and bigger. I wish you the best!

Mom's are the best!

Tons of restaurants closed this year permenantly, industrial refrigerators are easier to pick up used than ever before. Some of your local refrigeration repair people may know of good deals and/or there are restaurant auction sights.

zone 7a had a couple of tulips too short for vasing but left them in the garden for a spectacular show and learned to enjoy them there (not selling just enjoying). love your adventure.

When you get your Trex or TimberTech deck, you will love it. I replaced a 30 year old deck; only needed to shore up original frame and new TimberTech deck surface is WONderful!

I have to tale a nap though, while my 2 year old is napping or ill regret it later! So I have to watch later!

Great snippet of music around 11:23-11:35!

Have you checked out Facebook market place for maybe just another fridge! At least for now. I checked my area and a ton are available pretty cheap.

You have such nice parents and in-laws to help you so often! So sweet to see 🥰

Can't wait to see all the flowers opening up!

You are great!!!Loved the video and daffodils.

Thank you for sharing, loving the content. Its always fun to watch.

Time to start trading bouquets for fridge space with near by friends 🌷🌷🌷

My head is spinning, between sowing, planting, harvesting, marketing and selling you must be exhausted! Not to mention that you take the time to share your journey with all of us...filming and editing takes time too (and reading all of our comments...which you do!). Love all the family support you have. As stressed as you may be, you always have a smile on your face and because of that we do too.

Nicole have you ever considered going to a restaurant equipment and get walk-in cooler from liquidation auction in your area.

Not sure if it’s an option for you... but I’ve rented a refrigerator for big parties. It seems it was $40 for a week or so.

I can’t wait to see your bouquets this summer!

Nicole, have you ever done a video just on the different companies you purchase all your bulbs from, the reason why you choose a certain one over the other, your experience with each one and just any specific reasons you prefer one over the other, who might have the best variety, and so forth? Thanks

Good luck Nicole! I am so excited to see your progress. Everything will work out the way it is supposed to if you have faith ;)

Nicole, “ My refrigerator is full of daffodils.” My brain “so where do you keep food?” Before the identification of the “flower fridge” with pizza and leftovers. And guest water. Sounds like a perfect balance to me 🤣

The thriping trucks go by, quite please, filming in progess.😂🎶😂. Your spring harvest is already so beautiful. I'm sure you'll have plenty to go around including for Mother's Day, knowing you! Rooting for you from Massachusetts!

And also---have you ever looked into purchasing a used fridge from your local electric company? I don't know where you're located but some electric companies in my state offer a free pickup service for people who find themselves with too many fridges. Some of them they rip apart to do - something - with, and others they offer for sale. I have a gardener friend who picked up a BIG one for fifteen bucks. Just a thought!

The flowers are beautiful! I wish I had just some of your knowledge of growing flowers

You doing such a good job. Very inspiring!!! So much energy!!! Where are you getting so much energy? Straight away start to look for some books, bulbs and cut flower seeds in EU but not a chance. You are so amazing with mimic and acting, yawning and sneezing!!! I wish i could do a tiny bit of social and workaholic as you are. Please any chance to get a chance to communicate with your dearest friend Jenna (hope got name right)? Thanks a lot. 🤗

I hope and wish you get to build that shop and expand your business… I am amazed of what some women are capable of, kids plus business plus side hustle…I ve always dreamed to start my business too but when I see what’s involved I get chills.I wish I was more brave 😂.

Helloooo Sweet Daff 👋
Talking to you Nicole.
That's your new nickname!
🟡🧡🟡🧡🟡🧡🟡🧡🟡🧡🟡

I love daffodils flowers ❤❤❤

How can anyone give you a thumbs down I guess they are jealous

I adore you and your videos! I am new to the daffodils and tulips this year! Planted 1200 last fall and have learned quite a bit from you! Thanks :) I'll be picking some tomorrow and storing in a college sized fridge that one of my kiddos left behind to hopefully hold until our self serve stand opens a few days before Mothers Days!! xoxo

So excited for tulips !!!🌷 😁

Just a thought Nicole. Cutflowers are a specialty crop there are federal grants for farmers growing specialty crops. If your interested I can look for the link. Then you could look into building a container cool box?

I love it!

Hi, you know if you don’t have enough room in fridge for tulips with bulbs you can put them in cool place on ice (2 inches) in a bucket vertically wrapt in paper. No water.

Best wishes! Praying for you 🙏🏻 I bet your going to have a great shop in the future 👍🏻💐

OMG, what a great video and I'm so sad that I've not found your channel until now! I suffer from bulb MANIA in the hugest font possible...and this video really hit home. I don't sell my flowers and I don't have thousands, as you do, but I have a WHOLE LOT and every year I somehow manage to find room for more and more and more. I think I might even go so far as to say I have a little bit of a *ahem* "problem" with scented narcissus---King Winston lol, Delnashaugh, Tahiti, Actaea, Vanilla Peach (silly me thought these might smell like peaches! lol - no, but they smell fantastic)...and so many others. Didn't know about the "color crack" - great tip! Now I'm caught up in my annual amaryllis/paperwhite insanity, while also watching the UPS guy deliver more and more and MORE tulips and alliums and frittilarias and...since the ground is frozen I'm scrounging for pots. No idea if you'll even see this but if you do, THANKS AGAIN!

Looking forward to the parrot mix. Trying to decide if I want to grow some

i didn't plant any daffodils or tulips maybe next year! I did get some iris and glads in. I am enjoying watching this video for future reference. T.Y.

My biggest problem is knowing when to harvest particular flowers. Meaning, at bud stage, after, before, etc. Peonies, when they crack open, etc. Is there a book that you'd recommend for that?

Love your videos. Could you show us your Dahlias sprouts indoor please and a seedling updates. Impatient to see how they are doing

Hahaha the bags of clothes. Totally relate. Except our thrift stores around here stopped taking stuff cause they're so full! 😳

The tulips look good, I know you think they are a bit short. Have you seen Serinas (can't eat the grass) tulips. I feel for her. It has to be the strange weather.

Wish I was closer (or if you were closer to me-would hate to give up my zone 7b in GA)! I would totally buy a CSA! Interesting about how the daffodils store dry for so long. Who would’ve figured?!?!

Wow!

hers to hoping yo get a cooler for mothers day ;)

What about some coolers with frozen water jug to store tulips?

Do you have a list of flowers that are good for refrigeration? Hate the fridge? And longest lasting in and out of fridge?

I had no idea they can last that long in the fridge!

Your mom is the 🐝🐝🐝 knees! Thanks for the daffodil dry storage tip. 😊 Where did you get your green hat? It's adorable and I love the color!

Your green hat looks cute on you...I saw where you can take peony buds and keep them in a fridge and hold them all summer to open...
I love Japanese Iris and the dried flower pod makes a pretty accent to a flower arrangement...my regular Iris are slow to open this year...do you have any remedy to prevent the brown streaks that are in the leaves......should I spray them now before they are attacked....
As a cool room couldn’t you make a room in your basement or barn like we did to hold our hanging beef and pork when butchering with air conditioner....just a thought.....🌻

i am so jealous, but good jealous. It inspired me to grow my own the next year. Hard worker. you said you liked when the stems are shor, correct? i did not hear this part well. Why do you like them shorter? i thought people prefer taller stems. thank you for sharing! 🌷🌼

There’s plenty of diy flower cooler videos on RUclips. You just need an ac unit, some wood and some insulation.

Do you set your refrigerator at any special setting?

Nicole, I might’ve missed this but why do you pull out the daffodils rather than snipping them with a pair of scissors. Just because it’s faster? I would be afraid I’d pull the whole thing out. Love your videos I’ve learned so much. 🐝

What is the video on the surprise tulips that you planted in Dec? I would love to see what he sent you.

What are you doing with the tulip bulbs? Are you towing them?

HI Nicole Do you save the bulbs and plant the next year?

Enjoyed the Mario bros desert theme music!😆

I have been looking for Sir Winston Churchill everywheres! I can't find any suppliers that ship to canada!

You need some felco pruners!! Must be hard to keep track of what bulbs are what after you cut the stems off. But I know you have a plan, lol.

What do you do to keep the weeds out after the daffodils are done blooming? Last fall I planted a 100 ft row that are just peeking out of the dirt. Weeds are showing already. I might have a big mess!😬

What do you do with your tulip bulbs after you harvest them ? Do you throw them out and buy new ones every year or do you store them also how do you store them if so

I love your hat and boots are they the same brand? Will you please tell me were you got your beani!! I collect them!! Lol.

Is the netting to prevent deer?

Girl! Kids grow way too fast! My daughter is 11 and already taller than me. 😅 ordering shoes is much easier now since we wear the same size. 🤣

I put the cuttings that I cut from my sweet peas to pinch them and I put them in a small container of water, they are now growing Roots can they also grow to flower if planted in soil?

😍😍😍🌸💐 hope they last 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

What temp do you have your flower fridge set at? I tried holding over dads & tulips & they all wilted & wouldn’t rehydrate. I’m assuming it’s set too cool.....also my Tahiti dads are white not yellow! Go figure! XO 😘 thanks for all the tips!

whats the dimensions on the tahiti patch and how many were planted there?

Just curious, why do you harvest into crates instead of buckets of water? Seems like crates would be lighter and easier than buckets full of water but I've never seen it done like this.

Question, I harvested tulips with the bulbs put them in the fridge. Is it normal for them to wilt? And how long before you need them do you take them out and put them in water? MANY THANKS

What do you do with the bulbs on the tulips that you pulled up? Value your information.

Question- my anenomes started flowering, but the stem is literally a few inches tall. Can't cut for a bouquet. Will the following stems grow longer? Is there a fertilizer I can feed it? Ranunculus plants are also short. Tips?

Love your hat...pattern where can I get it.

Love your videos. Wanted to order a soil blocking set, but it seems that you are out. When are going to have more that I can purchase?

Hi Nicole, first thank you for all your informative and funny videos! I've made a search in your videos but I can't find one that shows the right stage to harvest double tulip, can you help me? It's my first year flower farming and growing tulip for cut flowers. Thank you for your time!

Could you get another used frig and put it in the garage or the basement?

Question...do you support your peonies. If you do, what do you use?

Will the daffodils come back next year? how far down are you 'picking' the daffodils - hard to see in the video.

Can someone tell me why are the bulbs being pulled? I know She mentioned tulips are annual for flower growers but why?! Thanks!

I must’ve missed it but which one was the “special treasure”?

Hi Nicole why do you include the bulbs when you pick the tulips?

Great video ! Do the tulip nets protect from Deer?

What is the purpose of the netting over the tulips?

U need a second hand frig in garage. My hubby has one for 🍺 why not flowers

Beautiful flowers..can you replant the bulbs?

Are you going to replant the tulip bulbs?
