You’re still here! You stopped showing up on my home page, I thought you stopped making videos. Anyway, YES! Thank you for the basil flower info. I’ve been cutting them off and leaving them to feed the dirt. Really good to see you again, I’ll search if you don’t show up again. Your channel is good stuff.
Have you done a video on Perilla leaves/ Shiso leaves yet? They are extremely nutrient dense and easier to grow than basil and have large purple leaves that taste mildly minty and they are invasive like mint.To me they are a more healthful lettuce alternative and can be marinated and used to roll around food like Grape Leaves or eaten fresh. Asians use them in a variety of dishes.
OMG where has this blender been all my juicing life?! I am going to do this tomorrow as my basil is ginormous and has long strands of flowers and seeds that I would have just sadly have chucked in compost pile. Thankyou for this great video!!
I just happened to have some Thai basil and watermelon in the garden and followed right along. Great taste and very refreshing. The watermelon masked the black licorice flavor of the basil, which I don't really care for. Thanks, man!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm new to in home urban gardening. I bought a purple basil plant yesterday and it has flowers. I wasn't sure if these were leaves about to bloom or a sign of something else. Now I understand the flowers may halt additional leaf growth. The various comments on what people are doing with the flowers is greatly appreciated. ❤
I dehydrate all my basils for cooking with later. I understand why spices can be pricey. A lot of fresh leaves can dehydrate into very little dried spices. But at least they don't get wasted.
I love making fire cider I gave away cute little bottles (cute little corked bottles from the dollar store) of fire cider and basil olive oil away for Christmas last year, it was cute and medicinal 💚
Very timely as I was debating what to do with my basil this morning. I have lots of purple basil flowers which are so pretty but I think they need pruning.
I've watched your videos for YEARS. What you said at the end of the video about making unique content, I completely agree with. I can't think of any other youtube channel that covers what you cover. If you want to learn, your channel is where it's at.
I love holy basil. Came across 1 a local grow story was throwing away last year and was able to save seeds and is now my favorite for smell and taste. Glad it it was already flowering when I got it.
Me too! My favourite herb ever. The tea is so powerful it can even be used as a hand sanitizer. Lowers cortisol, anti-everything, tastes amazing, protected by holy goddess. Can't go wrong.
Thanks for a great video. I’m a real beginner with all this, I’m wondering how do you determine which leaves to use and which leaves to throw out? I noticed that some of the leaves have a little brown spot - they are not perfect leaves.
Glad I found you! Thanks for more ideas on what to do with my basil flowers. I am curious as to whether the juice can be frozen or canned (guessing the heat would degrade the potency) for longer shelf life?
when i was a kid my dad use to make wheat grass basil shots with an old chicken feed grinder. He would take the grind out and press the juice by hand. its a very efficient way of doing this too :)
Synchronicity ... I just purchased some basil seeds that were offered on sale from a local Michigan seed supplier! As always, enjoying your videos immensely and always learning something.
@Learn Organic Gardening at Growing YourGreens should look into growing African Blue Basil, because it is the few perennial basil plant that exist. This plant attracts a lot of bees which will help with better pollination.
Btw I bought that greenhouse you recommended and a similar one goes for at least double the cost. Thanks for the tip! Do you follow Matt Power's? Also, you make me 😂😆
I love your direction and passion into not only the points that you cover but also your genuine determination to inform others of KNOWLEDGE. Just a Question of whether you edit/consolidate your own Content and since its understandable if you'd rather keep that professional and confidential, I would MUCH appreciate any DM's or emails from such a innocent source of Natural Knowledge. Almost up to 1 Mill Subscribers!! congrads Bro, stay strong (& healthy:) PS, Also noticed that you use Blendtech. Its funny for I helped working with them in Orem when they made a GIANT Blender encasing 3 levels of Dining floors for over 1 Mill xD
I have an herb snow dryer it's very good it was about $150 relative humidity stays at 45% has a timer for 96 hours I do my cannabis herb through it when I have access but I prefer the net drying I grow a lot of Basil I pretty much just eat it raw and put it on Pizza hamburger whatever I mix it up with vegetable stir-fry those juicers are really nice I could use something like that I have a foreman juicer but those are out of date have a good day
Hey John, totally off topic of video above. What in your opinion is the sweetest Passion Fruit to grow in southern California? Thanks for your answer in advance and have a blessed day.
you just eat to make compost i see you eyen those scraps you cant wait to put in compost bin!! lol im gona start a compost pile and its johns fault i made my first teas this summer very cool thanks for all your knowlege and energy!!!
Thanks John, so healthy! Have you tried Holy Basil medicinally? Resaerch study shows it destroys SPIKE protein in Covid19! Also I was researching Black Grass Jelly Plant (Mesona Procumbens / Palustris and reckon it looks exactly like Tulsi Holy Basil. This dessert is nicer than Bobo pearls imho
Is the stump still in the ground and sticking up above the soil line? If so, it will "probably" come back. Seal the cut end (with either wax or IV Organic Plant Guard) to prevent the stump from drying out and insect damage. Root the rest of the tree that was cut off. I've had cuttings (thick & thin) root in water and dirt with zero problems either way. Mulberry is a very hardy tree.
www.discountjuicers.com/dynaprovacuumblender.html No info on the cloth right now, its not available. search for "nut milk" bag. Any will work, but the one I use is the best one I found so far.
Tips on growing lavender? I know they kind of like low water and we'll drained, what most plants would be considered abuse lol The fiber is good for you, drink all of it after making it :) I wish my BlendTec or Vitamix blenders had vacuum container options :O
I want to get Veld grape plant. It’s one the plant which we include in our recipe. I don’t find it where to get it in US. Can you share some details on it?
He is on a blender vacuum kick the last couple of years.. sold tons of blenders without such a feature before - but now - he believes the oxidation during juicing is not good and the juice you get under vacuum is "better". Maybe he is right.. but I'm not spending another $500 to get rid of my Vitamix... so whatever..
Holy snitzzzz that’s a high dollar blender!!! So what broke people suppose to do!? Can’t use that with no power no way 🤷🏻♀️ so next suggestion is??? Then you said don’t need no 600 dollar press.. but that blender is 600 😂😂💯🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ next??? Good info tho.. 💯
