Wildflower Field Update : Was it FINALLY Worth it? : Pollinators Galore! Flower Hill Farm 

Hi Nicole, i'm from Vietnam, far far away from you, but i just want u to know that i love your voice, your sense of humor, your energy... i love the imperfection beuty of your flower farm and each day when i get lazy for doing the gardening in a hot day (over 40 Celsius) i just keep reminding myself that Nicole can managed her huge farm alone so why i am not. And thanks for keep updating the RU-vid video in these quarantine days. Love.

Beautiful. It has taken us 3 years to establish a wildflower area on a hill behind our house. We’ve had to spray and kill grass over and over and go out and pick out weeds to give the wildflowers a chance to thrive. It worked and now it’s beautiful.

Nicole, your multitalentedness is mind boggling, you make it look like play and joy which gives me intense joy.

I have not seen a hummingbird moth here in my yard in years, thankfully I had a few hummers All summer....🙏🙏❤️🌿🌻 i’m going to cry when they have to fly home for the winter. They are my solace, and bring me such peace..........

Thank you for the peaceful shots of all the butterflies and moths it's just what I needed!

Nicole I loved this video. The beautiful butterflies and the hummingbird moth gave me so much joy! You wild flower field is a dream ❤ thank you for sharing! Lots of love and best wishes for you!

You should be proud, you have created paradise. Love your enthusiasm and the music you play.

BEE-U-TIFUL Butterflies and flowers! :)

Thanks for this relaxing video. I needed it today and it calmed me from the crying I’ve been doing after losing a friend. You don’t know how much it helped!

thankyou so very much, Nicole

Nicole the butterflies & especially that hummingbird moth would make any entomologist drool. Especially watching the mechanics of the way its wings flutter. Also schools & universities may keep butterfly stats & would love the info. Do you ever send this type of info to govt/state databases? I’ve been involved in a 5 year Butterfly Atlas in eastern Canada. So love your swallowtail & monarchs!

So beautiful and peaceful!

Butterflies make my heart so happy! I love seeing them in the garden! And those hummingbird moths...love them too, they're so adorable!🦋💗

Thank you for sharing the beauty of the wildflower garden and all its little community members! Finding joy in the simple things is so important thanks for the reminder.

GORGEOUS!💐💐💐

Oh to be "...lost in the moment of a pollinator field."😊

Thanks for sharing the peaceful moment of sheer beauty! Have a great day!

Spectacular Nicole! WOWSER!

So wonderful- thanks for sharing. Often I am multitasking when watching RU-vid videos but for this I put down my phone and just enjoyed. Thanks again.

Beautiful I wish people will do the same. Congratulations

Hi Nicole, My name is Iva and I am from a tiny country in Eastern Europe - Bulgaria. Just wanted to say that I have been watching your videos religiously in the past few months and that everything you do is amazing - in this video the footage of the field and butterflies is so calming and just beautiful... Your hard work is so inspiring. I am a person who has always struggled in keeping flowers alive but I am trying to grow more in my backyard and..you are great help! Thank you!

Beautiful!

Nice to see something so peaceful on social media. Thanks ☺️

So beautiful

So amazing to see the creativity of others! I love how you incorporate such an incredible variety of beauty! You're such an inspiring individual ...thank you so much for that! 🥰💐🌸🌼🎍🌷🎍🌹🏵️🌻

Very pretty! 💜💜💜💜

It turned out amazing! So pretty. I've had so many bees, butterflies, and a few hummers too, so cool.

Thank you. It brought tears to my eyes.

Amazing beautiful ☀️🌸 🦋

It’s beautiful

Wildflowers 🤩

So beautiful🧡🧡🧡

I wouldn’t mind an entire yard like this it is gorgeous❤️🌈❤️

I needed this so much today. Thank you for this moment of peace. We are in lockdown again because my little boy is medically fragile and covid is looming close. This was such a delightful distraction. Thank you ♥️♥️

Ahhhh Maaaazzzing! Your channel makes me smile the most!

Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you, Nicole!

My favorite video of the year!! Thanks for sharing the beauty!

Your garden is incredible 😍

Lovely. I'm going to look into getting a local wildflower mix, for my area, next year. I'm tired of fighting the weeds, so I've decided to go with the flow and "hide" them with a wildflower mix. 😆😍

What a amazing project, we never know what " Mother Nature" has in store year after year....l use to grow the massive Russian Sunflowers, and the squirrels ate them...l was so disappointed, my grandmother said a farmer always plant some for them and yourself... it's nature's way! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful field's....

Your garden looks so inviting and peaceful! 🍃💚

So beautiful I love it 😍 ❤️❤️🥰🥰

Beautiful

So lovely it brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for taking the time to share. We live on a small hobby farm in your same zone and I thought about doing this around our orchard area. I will definitely be sowing these beauties next year!

The footage of the butterflies is gorgeous!

You and your flowers put a smile on my face 😻 .. oh and thanks for the wildlife shots. 🤍

wow, how amazing!! wish we had more rain. much love from israel

This is beautiful!!!! I have a small wildflower/cut flower garden and I put some chairs in the area and had my kids and dogs take pics lol None were happy. I love seeing all of the bees, butterflies and dragonflies just hovering around 😍

Hi Nicole, We use the black reusable Deer Stopper tape attached to posts that surround our gardens. The deer don’t come within 5 feet of the tape. In winter we soak the tape in a sealed container of the Deer Stopper liquid , ready to reuse in the spring/ summer.

BEAUTIFUL! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!

Hey Nicole! You have experienced what it is like to grow flowers in the typical Willamette Valley Oregon climate. We have a historic drought this summer, but normally get rain. I'm glad your flowers have flourished. 🥰

Hello from Destin Fl. Love your channel!,hoping you did not get damage from storm & rain . 😱😘😎

I manage to keep the deer out of my early blooms by feeding supplement food on the other side of the property. It’s a deal I made with them but hey it worked

Greetings from our California Garden! ~ Your farm is glorious as are your flowers. An idea... if you don't mind mind us sharing... is to plant a PermaKultur border as your deer perimeter. It would provide natural options without wire fencing, allow feeding only on the exterior simultaneously protecting the inside. It can be drought tolerant to your area and low to no maintenance once matured. It might also provide a noise, dust, privacy filter to the roadway. Besides it would be Botanically Beautiful! ~ Thank you for your cheerful vibrant videos!

Beautiful 🦋🌼🌸

For believers - all of this amazing beauty and wonderful natural systems is AFTER sin ruined the world! Imagine Eden BEFORE sin! Wow!

It looks so nice! Too bad about the cosmos. Mine were fantastic and huge all summer and still going. I got the idea of a wildflower garden from you so thank you.

You bring so much of happiness, I cannot even tell you!♥️ Subscribed

Hey Sweet Pea. So great to see the insects from the other side of the world. Lots of love 🥰

So beautiful 😍 I love to watch butterflies 🦋 💕

Absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for the update 😊 I remember when you sowed the field, & I’ve been curious as to the results!

Nicole it’s beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!

Keep the milkweed plants! They are necessary if you want monarch butterflies to stay around. Somewhere on the internet is info on how certain varieties of milkweed are necessary to monarchs, and that one should plant local varieties, not import or seed non-local varieties of milkweed since not all of them are beneficial. Otherwise you have a nice variety of colorful wild flowers. Let it re-seed itself every year. (Well, maybe not too much goldenrod or ragweed; they're a disaster for allergy sufferers.) You have a lovely wildflower patch, so I hope you keep it up. Hummingbird moths are really interesting. I didn't know they even existed until one year a couple of decades ago when I had hanging pots on the porch with tons of impatiens in them (impatiens don't stink and they keep blooming until frost kills them; their seed pods actually produce a popping sound when they burst). As I was watering, a hummingbird moth unexpectedly came up to the plants next to me, uncurled that looooong "mouth" and started feeding. It even had iridescent colors like our local hummingbirds (but no way to confuse the two; my mother had a hummingbird feeder outside her kitchen window so I know what the local hummingbirds look like). So I called the local wildlife station and asked if there was such a thing as hummingbird moths, and there are. Unfortunately, some kind of stinky mold (or whatever) took up camp in the soil of my hanging pots (that I'd filled with store-bought potting soil), I'm allergic, so dumped them out and never used hanging plants again. Yeah, having pollen allergies to most outdoor plants and trees is a real nuisance..., but I still love looking at flowers and other nature shows (except legless crawling reptiles which terrify me). Birds, butterflies, assorted wild mammalian species are gorgeous and fascinating!

Goldenrod is solidago and makes a great cut. You can even dye it!

I loved that so so so much! Thank you Nicole!

so pretty, love it as much as the butterflies and bees, thanks for sharing

Nicole, the field is SO beautiful!!

I could watch that all day!! Thanks Doll ❤

Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Omg I have that same shirt !!! 😍😍😍 Love your pollinator garden!

beautiful flower field.

Gorgeous, thanks for sharing!!

BEAUTIFUL! 🌼 🦋 THANK YOU ❤ Linda in Vancouver 🇨🇦

So pretty!!

In case you haven't heard of it: one method of deer deterrence is human urine. So have someone go out one night and pee where the trails enter the flowers. The deer will take a detour (though I don't know how large a detour. Multiple locations may need an application.)

Gorgeous!

Just beautiful! Great job! XO

You're either thinking of something else or mean to say the deer ate all your PINK cosmos. Your field is absolutely full of Orange Cosmos, which sort of look like a tall Marigold. But I absolutely love wildflower meadows. I wish more people would rip up their lawns and add either additional gardens or patches of wildflowers as you have.

You should try doing a field that is layered sort of like those rice fields in Asia, very helpful in reducing run off and erosion and it also replenishes aquifers.
