Why I'm Planting a 35 Meter Hedge at My Flower Farm 

I watch a few garden channels on RU-vid, but I have to say you flowers are the most healthy, gorgeous. One thing stands out is how you put your flowers 💐 together they are absolutely beautiful. I'm a old lady that loves and know flower. God bless you and your husband. Thank you for all your hard work with your love of flowers.

I’m envious of that beautiful black soil you have! I think you may have started a new fashion trend with those boots🥾! LOL!!!

Your a hard worker & using that brain between your ears, (so many don't). You've done a better job on this than the advice below would have had you doing. The grass is always an issue as it likes a lot water. When I started my gardening business I worked at the weekend for a couple of years so I could take a day out in the week to study horticulture at college - learnt more in that 2 years than I would of in a lifetime of hard knocks, it was very empowering.

Good job! Cheers from Russia🤗

I have forsythia and they are beautiful when they bloom in the spring. They are so easy to propagate too via cuttings. They grow like crazy and don’t seem to mind heavy pruning every year so they would definitely be great as cut flowers.

Love your channel. Love watching your dogs run around on the farm - they want to be with you every minute!

A wonderful thing is panicle hydrangeas for cutting I use lime light and the bloom on new wood and can be pruned or cut quite hard also elderberry is a good one for birds and you can eat the berries as well

Spot on with the regenerative farming - it's traditional farming really! I'm doing nothing here that my granddad wouldn't have done. Your hedge will look great and you can use that forsythia will looking amazing in spring.

I also hung bird houses last spring and enjoyed seeing and hearing all the new babies. 🐝🌸☀️

Great to have something for wildlife as well, hoping that shading won’t become an issue for the flowers, especially with the oaks, but. I guess they are slow growing ! Have planted a wildlife hedge on a community plot and we just made t-shape slits and put the bare roots in.

Hi Sarah, its all looking great, lots of hard work done putting all those hedges in. It will look great in the Summer, thanks forcsharing & take care ❤

Great job! And you weren't alone... we were with you. 🙂I look forward to seeing the hedge when it's grown. It should be brilliant.

Great job girl!!! It's going to be so amazing having the hedge to cut from 💪🌿

Well done Sarah it will be beautiful when it grows and you can use the foliage in your lovely bouquets.👋

Looking so forward to watching Sarah. Ive been binge watching all your videos again and thoroughly enjoying them 😊 I've so many plans

Hey! When is your usual last frost for the year? I love that you're always trying to make contributions to increase the health of your soil and the wildlife around you!🙂

Definitely just do slit planting, No need to dig trenches.. but maybe your hedge plants should have been in 2 rows 1ft apart, and 1 ft between each plant, hence 6 plants per metre. 16cm is very tight planting indeed ( sorry, laid many hedges so ) but brill you're planting a new hedge. Hornbeam is so vigorous, oak is slow so bare that in mind when pruning

Sarah, So great to see those, i have large bushes of forsythia which I cut on and they work so well I’ve started adding viburnum, boxwood, inkberry, so I’ll being watching yours grow and praying my does as well.😀

Well done! Sherwood, Arkansas, USA

Looks like a beautiful part of the world. Well done on the hedge, lots of work done there.

Great to have that wind protection. I’m on the coast and just one storm can ruin months of growing. You’re really getting sorted now.

Can’t wait to see what it looks like as it begins to grow! Great project, and very useful.

Oh gosh Sarah, I remember being that young and fit. I feel your pain after an hours gardening! 😂 I’m sure slit planting will work fine. The benefits for birds and wildlife will definitely make it worthwhile. It makes me sad to see old hedgerows being ripped out, so this was great. X

Looks great! I’ve never heard of some of these varieties, I’ll have to look them up. I’m doing a similar thing in my garden. Between the vegetable garden fence and the neighbor’s horse pasture fence I have an area approximately 3-4 foot wide. I’m sowing seeds to attract birds and butterflies, specifically Monarchs. Milkweed will be the prominent variety. Last year I found so many seeds and I can’t wait to start. Here in western North Carolina, we are still digging out from nine inches of snow, so it will be a while before I can start. 🥶 I love your farm and the inspiration you give! Thank you! 🌾

Massive amount of work there, very impressed! Next time get hubby to get his digger out! I prune forsythia just after flowering, then the new grow bears flower the following spring.

Hi, Sarah! Great idea for a useful border. Well done. I'm in the regenerative flower farmers group and was stoked to see you in the chat. (I live 1.5 hrs north of Jenny Love's farm). I just got The Living Soil Handbook by Jesse Frost - it's great.

The wildlife will love living there, I'm sure they'll keep the pests cleaned up too. Maybe you know the Forsythia can forced indoors as well, so you could have that for bouquets, I'm not that familiar with the others tho. I felt your pain when you said a foot deep, I don't know what 35 meters equals in feet but it looks pretty darn long.

Oh my goodness I feel your pain with the trench digging! You did so well the hedge will be fantastic! I wish I could plant more hedging but can’t on rented land

Your such an inspiring hard working lady! I am curious do you guys make your own compost on your farm?

What seedlings do you have started already? Do you only do soil blocking? I'm in the US and we mostly use trays, but I'm looking into switching over to soil blocks. Love your content! Thank you

Is there an update on this hedge?

Is this current? Must be mild there!

Did You plant each species together or did You mix the species?

Boa tarde mulher

Seems awfully close together
