Correction** Wild Bergamot is lovely for making medicinal tea… some call it (Mock Earl Grey)! This is were I got confused! Real Earl Grey tea is made from black tea and the bergamot orange which is a citrus fruit grown in the Mediterranean. :) So very excited to have it growing around our homestead!
Hey 😊👋 I'm new here! I was wondering which region you are in, I'm in North East Florida. I love your channel I found you through Jess at R&R, thank you for teaching I'm learning so much AND it's springtime my heart is about to pop! 😂
I also would like to know where you live, not exact location but what part of what state. I would love to find some Ghost Pipe to make tinctures but I don’t think they grow around my area. I heard they are hard to find. I live in Southwest Ohio so if you know if they grow around my area please let me know. Thank you ❤.
I had to laugh at the cleavers video. My granddaughter was foraging with me and she was yelling at me that a plant was stuck on her and she couldn't get it off...our first experience with cleavers!
I like harvesting wild Turkey tail and lions mane mushrooms , then cloning them to grow at home . Been trying to learn how to ID different medicinal plays to make tinctures . Cool video
Mushrooms are amazing if you spread the spores somewhere they don't like they will travel underground, like they do, and come up in a location they prefer to grow! ❤🍄
I loved this one! And just have to say your mom's doppelganger is Miriam Margolyes! My little kids both looked at each other and said, "She looks and sounds and smiles like Grandma Rosie in Balto!" 😍😂 biggest complement out there!
This was nice. Tomorrow I'm going to take a walk in a park near me. I will see all that I can find. I also received 1 of the books that you had recommended. The homesteaders herbal companion.Thank you!!
I received my next book. Peterson Field Guides. I found Cleavers today in my back yard!!! There is a lot. id like to dehydrate some. Do you do that? Do you mke tea fresh? or Tincture? Can you tell that I'm excited? I even found a few classes at one of our state parks. 😊 YEAH!!!!
Thanks for a great video. My wife and I harvested some dandelion here Sunday. Still learning how to identify the plants. Your all’s videos are very informative. Keep up the great work.
I often look around for herbs since I've been watching your videos lol I am not an expert in herbs but I see some things in nature and then research it. Love the videos.
@@TheHoneystead Well darn. I thought you'd come up with a neat new honey-moonshine. Though I guess being drunk and looking for mushrooms to eat might not be the best idea.
I am loving your basket back pack. Do you have a video on that and where you got it? a back pack basket would be so much better than a hand carried one or a bucket. (which i currently use. )
Bloodroot propagates by seed very well. Carefully remove leaves under bloodroot plants and spread fine compose[1/4"] under before seed pods form. Seeds will drop and next year; babies! Coltsfoot, timestamp 6.08. You have a great spread and family. I have followed your progress, keep up the updates, Love Violet. Those mushrooms can be pretty sneaky, especially this time of year...Spring Shiitakes waking up here in central New Hampshire....next week maybe. Thanks for sharing, Brice....
I just learned what yarrow looks like when its just coming up! Thank you. I find it kinda funny that you're getting ready to plant stinging nettles when we've spent the last 45+ years trying to get rid of it. Last summer I found some new growth and picked it, dried it it for tea. I haven' tried it though because I forgot about it. What's a good herb for memory?
If you decide to spread more morel spores, be sure to do it around a dead or dying tree. They feed off the root system of the tree. They love slippery elm and will absolutely explode in old dying apple orchards. I found 50 this year around a group of 3 old apple trees.
This video got me hooked on your channel! I think because I live in the city in Long for a more peaceful lifestyle! Also, wondering if you could share the link where you got that basket that you use for harvesting??
Great video. I loved your farm before but seeing the streams I love it even more. Bee season ramping up here, inspected the hives all having a laying queen with plenty of eggs👏
Wow! I didn't know that Bee Balm is Earl Grey tea!! And the Cleavers... I have something that looks similar all over the place! I think this is purselane. It's leaves are similar to jade plant. See, this is why I need to order a book. LOL!
Enjoyed the video. Love mushrooms but they are so hard to find. I know people are finding them here. Funny to hear about the purple dead nettle. I was visiting a cousin and she was showing me some and talking about making a tea from it. I started looking around for it. I am off work this week and the weather is nice - maybe time to go on a hike and see what I can find.
This was really good to watch and learn more about foraging. Was that a electric kettle when you made the tea? I just don’t know what the name of it was
Awesome! And thank you!! I just sowed some wild bergamot in a container this morning and had no idea what it looked like. And then I stuble upon this video. Long time subscriber btw. Since before you changed the name of the channel. Lol!
I just went out and forged the very same thing here today in Northeast Arkansas. I so enjoy watching you guys. Such a blessing having your Mom with you through this adventure. I can't wait to see everything you do. God is Good
I have all three of those in my yard right now…the dandelion, cleavers, and purple nettle. I don’t have one of those tea making devices. Can I just boil them up and strain the liquid and have that as my tea?
Natural velcro on the farm. Who would have thought. Your farm has everything. If you look hard enough, you might find an old still over the hill and you will not have to buy your Everclear either.
What is the name of the coffee/tea pot that you used to make your herbal tea in? I need a larger one like that for my herbs :).....a brand name or a place to find it on line would help me a lot:) ...thanks so ever much.....
Love watching you forging. Makes my heart fell with gladness to see you respecting native ancestry. I realize you might have started this, not even realizing the full connection. Fancinated by the native American people. Had a shaman tell me once. Your a weird white man, you must have native blood. I told him, not that I am aware of. He said.. "Your thinking is of the wolf." That I took as a honor!
@@christopherkilian9763 though a couple of siberian huskies. He raised them. We started talking about the blood line of these dogs, and the unique traits of this breed of dogs
I actually just went out foraging also... Actually fried some dandelions today for first time and they were so so tasty!💕 I also ordered the Peterson's Field Guide and Me and Momma has foraging dates planned!💕🌿 Actually this video was the first of yours My Mom has got to see as she was here yesterday when it posted. I had told her all about you and your mom doing this and learning together, like us! She loved it!💕
@@TheHoneystead Awe..So Sweet!💕 The emotion behind herbalism and much less being able to do it with your Mom is Absolutely overwhelming and priceless, in such an Amazing way!💕 Keep being the amazing Ladies you are and being such a wonderful inspiration to us and so many others... And I am seriously considering documenting my journey to share with others too. Thank you so much as you have inspired me so much because your down to earth nature and learning motives are so similar to mine and just wanting to help others learn and grow!💕 Thank You for being YOU!😍🌿💕
Just walked through the property today and found more medicinal plants! Purple nettle, wild lettuce, 2 kinds of plantain, honeysuckle, clover, as well as some other plants I need to identify. Super excited to forage them and dry them! Thank you for sharing these videos. I always look forward to watching them. ~Jamie
My yard is covered in purple dead nettle and I was just researching about it today. So this video was perfect! I have a few questions. First of all, what do you do to wash the plants you forage? Many neighborhood dogs come into our yard…so I’d really like to clean the plants before doing anything with them. Would a vinegar soak be sufficient? My second question is what was that called that you made the tea in? Does it steam the plants on top?
Oh my word. I have pulled cleavers out as weeds. Never new they were good for you. I always called it sticky grass. lol I could probably of sent you a trash bag full. Are there any lookalikes that I need to be careful of?
I really liked learning more about the "clevers", we have them in Sweden too. Dead nettles and dandelion also. I will be trying out this thea as soon as the snow is gone. For now here are only wood anemone and hepatica. And of course colts foot. What herbs you picked in this film I might get in a few weeks.
