My husband's grandfather planted Forsythia, liliacs, mock oranges, spirea dogwood daylilies, iris and daffodils for a mile on the roadside on either side of of the Farmstead... it was beautiful. I and my husband are doing the same here at our new farm in the Michigan UP.

Plus that rock skirt makes a great boat launch for when you want to fish it.

Once upon a time, I would dismiss the iris as a useless ornamental .. but even if the only thing a plant does is keep the soil from washing away, it is performing a purpose .. so one might as well have them look good doing it! The pollinators will also like a few more flowers, if nothing else. We now put irises in every new planting .. along with snow drops, star of Bethlehem, daffodils and violets. It can't all be yarrow, mint and blackberries, now can it? 👍👍

I just wonder if berry bushes would work too!

So the way to your heart is through your Snooter ?? Great job Jan judy

looks very nice Greg

Good for you! What a great contribution you and Jan have been making in your lives!

Well done little brother! So proud of you and all you have accomplished. Happy to see Dan and Audrey's flowers being spread around the countryside.

Very obvious your cows are not combating flies while eating

How beautiful, Greg! I just took some pictures of my lovely purple irises this morning... they just opened up here in southern Minnesota:-)

Just simply beautiful. What a little ingenuity can produce.

I love the iris. Many of those colors I have never seen. Those are just beautiful.

The irises are beautiful but did you know they are toxic to sheep?

Beautiful. You guys have a blessed day🙂

Thanks for the video! Those flowers look beautiful. I might have to do that along our fences that we drive by. My biggest concern is people love to mow the roadsides way too much though. We do have irises on our property by our house. I might as well dig some up. Is there a good time to plant them (spring, summer, fall, and winter)?

GOOD DAY FOLKS…

This video really made my day. I love irises too and mine are in bloom even as I type and today's scheduled activity is to plant more containers with plants and flower bulbs that will carry the flower parade into Summer and Fall. Good times. Thank you for showing us the lovely flowers.

LOL! I talk about you quite often -- I recommend people watch your videos! Love the flowers! Beauty matters -- it's what makes all the hard things worthwhile.

Excellent !! Pennsylvania farms are big on this too. Adds so much interest along the road and suggests who loves taking care of the land. Go for it, Greg.

I know that you might think what I'm about to write is not accurate , but today's vlog you showed us what a tender poet you really are. Thanks for being a strong feeling man, and sharing it all with us.

If for nothing else, it has to be a great advertisement for how well you keep your land. Don’t let the haters define what you should do.

How do you weed eat under the perimeter fences along the road with flowers planted there?

It’s worthwhile, good, and virtuous to help beauty present itself

I love how you just love the land and nature. It’s not all about productivity and profit. You are about loving what you do. Just beautiful.

Greg...Bring in the pollinators add more diversity to your land.

I plant irises in honor of my Grandmother and mother. I ‘wild’ the iris all over the place too..

Beautiful!

Keep it up , most people are nuts & lazy

😆😅🤣why not? blessings to all

I you have the wife of the couple on your side you would win. Greg makes the farm look nice. Bale rings with a ten yard mud pit around it might cause the wife of the landlord to start complaining. He keeps the place nice and keeps his leases. Greg is smarter than the guys that makes a place a mess.

Every spring, patches of daffodils and other bulb flowers bloom in specific spots in fields around my farm. They show where there were once homesteads. I enjoy them as annual greetings from generations past. Wish they could talk.

Do you trim your fence line with a weed wacker? Dont the flowers make that more of a pain?

like when you talk about the evils of row crop farmers,,,, love the flowers!

Iris is the plant of hope. The word Iris comes from the Greek word for rainbow in ancient times the god Iris was thought to be the messenger of the gods she would travel from earth to heaven along a rainbow. Wherever she was on earth flowers would grow. The ancient Greeks planted Iris on graves as they thought it would help guide them on their journey to heaven.

Making the land better and landowners wanting you to manage it speaks for itself. When I built a dozen Greg Judy tree swallow houses I had some stares and questions to.

I Love Irises. You have so many Beautiful Colors. It's a Great Idea and Looks Beautiful also. Peace from WV

I don't laugh at you but enjoy laughing with you 😂

I've noticed so many unkind comments throughout youtube. So much criticism and judgement out there right now. It is very disturbing. I think you and your practices are wonderful

What a great tribute to your uncle Dan and aunt Audrey! Looks great!

My condolences on the loss of your Aunt. I think the flowers planted along the fences are beautiful.

Grandma Judy. You gonna start making angel food cake next! I’m just teasing. They look lovely.

The fella maybe was freaked out because you can't spray herbicide on your fence rows now. You have to work a bit harder now to keep the weeds and trees off your fences.

I love this Greg! Nothing better than going for drive in the country and seeing flowers growing in the ditches. Every property we have owned I have extensively planted perennial flowers and some bushes.

Fence rows and hedges played a vital role in farming practices right up until greed and getting two more rows of harvest. The problem is now we have lost wind breaks that protect against frost and weather, pollinator habitat, and secondary crops and the entire field produces less….

Deer love to eat daylillies

Friends of mine are president NC Iris society and judges.

Just gorgeous

"What in earth are you doing?" "Planting flowers." "On your farm? Among the fence line?" Should have said "Nope, not my farm. It's a lease." Leave 'em wondering. 😁

I live in east central Indiana. So many farmsteads have been razed and farmed over. But the flowers remain. Iris, lilies, yucca and daffodils. Reminders of the folks who lived in the past

My Grandfather had bulbs planted along the fence line of the track leading up to the house. I think he just liked them.
