When you can't grow ALL of the herbs it's important to narrow it down to the herbs that will give you the most bang for your buck.

Comfrey

@fancythat5136 Год назад

I have Oregano growing outside in a pot. It comes back every year. I planted Comfrey root late Fall last year. It grew to 4 inches so I covered with leaves all winter. This Spring it has exploded with growth with beautiful flowers. It’s bringing in the honey bees too.

@ednafortner6444 Год назад

Can we order Comfrey starts to ship?

@ajalicea1091 Год назад

@Fancythat WOW!¡!¡!¡!¡ I have some comfrey that I have been growing for 2 years. This is year 3. NEVER have any blooms.

@keepthefaith1973 Год назад

Where's your store?

@katiemclain2946 Год назад

Please make this into a series! Do 5 herbs per video until you get through them all.

@robynearl6915 Год назад

This is a great idea!!

@debimartin9111 Год назад

I agree I love the idea

@barbarawadley4343 Год назад

Great idea!

@sharonmckee2403 Год назад

Yes!!

@juliesimmonds7445 Год назад

Oh my goodness! Was thinking the same thing. This was great! :) Do them all!

@dianewagner2248 Год назад

I absolutely loved this video. Please do more of them. I'd love to see exactly how you preserve them. We need to go back more to natural healing.

@debbiemusgrove676 Год назад

Growing comfrey, Yarrow, lemon balm, oregano, calendula, mullein, lemon grass, borage for the first time this year. Guess I’ll go find me some turmeric.😊

@shortbean1886 Год назад

Growing your own medicine and food is so rewarding enjoy your journey! I am loving it and wish I had started years ago. ❤

@khm2128 Год назад

Henriette's Herbal, an online & free resource, will fully inform you on lesser known attributes of mullein. BTW, mullein, yarrow chicory (when very young) & many other wild herbals, transplant beautifully.

@marygrott8095 Год назад

My top 5 herbs (most for cooking) are: garlic, basil, rosemary, parsley and oregano. And yes, I like this type of video. Would like to see top 5 tomatoes, peppers, etc.

@par0104 Год назад

Jen, do you, or will you ever do a live demonstration of actually processing/preserving these five herbs, teaching others on how to do it. I, for one, would love to see it done, in person. I believe the time is coming when we will have to rely on what we can do for ourselves. Love this video, your Ky sub. ❤😊

@catherinegifford7767 Год назад

Great idea...please show us how to preserve these herbs & start our own medicine cabinets 🙏

@akitajapan1651 Год назад

Agree

@elainecurtis3649 Год назад

enjoyed this. FYI, my endocrinologist recommends gargling with a few drops of oregano oil in about a 1/4 cup of water regularly, but especially when you feel a cold coming on. I've been lazy and got a bad cold *lasted 10 days*, remembered the oregano oil gargle, two days later, no more sore throat, all that sinus crap was GONE...I won't be forgetting that again. Gargle, don't swallow

@kimnkruzin Год назад

Organic apple cider vinegar with the mother scientifically proven kills strep. Recipe" steep herbal tea, cool down, add 2 t. ACV, 2t. Honey , gargle 5-10 seconds .spit out. Gargle again and swallow. Do this every hour for the day. Can also drink the tea. I NEVER go see a doc for antibiotics. I drink tea, gargle spit gargle swallow for 24 hrs. I drink the tea for an additional 24hrs. Works every time.

@yvonneemanuel7669 Год назад

I was thinking the oil of oregano drops under my tongue and switching it down water trust me I never let it get to the tastebuds on the top of my tongue. Now I buy the capsules same company Oreganol and if I need to click one and apply it. It’s still fresh last longer than an open small bottle of oregano oil.

@dlgrilli Год назад

Great video & information. Zack and Jen - you are very good teachers, especially together! Clear information that is easily followed. Plus I really enjoy how the two of you interact - FUN! Jen, you have the best smile!

@witchofthewildwoods3496 Год назад

I love this so much! There are a zillion herbs growing wild on my property and I’ve planted more, but even though I use it daily I haven’t grown turmeric. I’m an RN but always turn to plant medicine for my family and animals. I appreciate you!

@lyndagaylebanner6462 Год назад

Any plans for a book about how to make oils, tinctures, powders and salves? And their uses?

@jeanholdstock3695 Год назад

Love this 'Porch Time with the Stivers' style video. The information was very interesting (and some of it was quite surprising). Thank you for all the lessons you teach us xx

@maggie.j.mclean Год назад

Top five herbs I will always grow: Parsley, for stomach, potatoes, soups, etc.. Sage, for poultry, sausage, smudging. Rosemary. Grilling, marinades, oils, steam for sinus issues Thyme. Cooking just about everything and my pollinators love it! Dill. Pickles, pickles, more pickles please! My swallow tail butterflies love to lay eggs on it so I dedicate some for the butterflies. I've got at least 5 more!

@carolinapatriot9651 Год назад

How do you use rosemary for sinus issues?

@carrierangel9573 Год назад

We moved in September. I dug up 3 of the 5 comfrey plants and put them all in 1 3 gallon plastic tote to move. They are still in there. (Getting planted this week!!) I thought for sure they were all dead this winter, and then they started growing about a month ago!

@sleeplessinthecarolinas8118 Год назад

Like you, I find it difficult to stop at five. This what I'm currently growing: tumeric, ginger, basil, thyme, oregano and garlic. Please do more of these types of videos.

@RaiderMom2008 Год назад

Great video! Plus, I love the way you two look and smile at each other! Just makes my day! Y’all not only grow herbs and food, you grow a lot of love and it shines through in your videos! Great family! So glad I found you! Also, going to try my hand at growing as many of these top 5 as I can! ~~Lisa

@sheribristol2826 Год назад

This is my first year growing garlic. I was so excited when I saw the shoots popping up! I also started growing some herbs last year. I plan on growing more as time goes on. I would LOVE to hear more about herbs and tinctures!

@kyannandmat Год назад

I absolutely loved this! I’ve been wanting to add medicinal herbs to our garden but wasn’t sure where to start (it feels a bit overwhelming with so many options!) so this was SO helpful! I’d love more videos like this!

@sandrasstitches6108 Год назад

I love this style of video where you chat about the how to grow, harvest and use plants 🪴❤ Thank you 😊

@tammycornett5631 Год назад

I love this type of video --thanks so much for doing this, and I hope you do more. I'm 63, and just beginning my medicinal herbs adventure. I have a whole area set aside for them this year, and have many different kinds started in my greenhouse. I think my favorites so far are lemon balm , chamomile, and peppermint. I do have a large bed of garlic growing, too!

@cindyr.-eg9wo Год назад

Im 61 and getting into it also.

@jennb7162 Год назад

New gardener here, growing: Bee Balm, Borage, Calendula, Catnip, Comfrey, Feverfew, Chamomile, Holy Basil, Horehound, Hyssop, Lemon Balm, Lemon Drop Spilatanthes, Marshmallow, Mothorwort, Mullein, Peppermint, Giant Turkish Plantain, Purple Coneflower, Spearmint, St. John's Wort, Stinging Nettles and Yarrow...in addition to my culinary herbs. Whew! Great information in this video!

@janemosherpage2748 Год назад

You can also let a few garlic flowers produce bulbils, little tiny garlic bulbs. You can plant these in the Fall, harvest in the late Spring, and replant to have a garlic bulb the next July.

@VeronicaGest72 Год назад

Love love love herbs. My favorite thing to grow. Like y'all its almost too hard to pick 5! lol. Growing a lot of herbs this year. My #1 is hands down Oregano. #2 Chocolate Mint. And not in any order, Calendula, Lemon Balm, Ginger. So many more I love and grow. Comfrey, Garlic, Basils of all kinds. Mints of all kinds. Echinacea . Hibiscus. Wormwood. Wild herbs like plantain, mullein, St John's Wort. Many more. Yeah, see, no way I can pick just 5. :)

@tamararoberts9307 Год назад

I love all herbs but my favorite ones are sage, oregano, dill, basil, dandelion, rosemary and thyme 😊

@jodimo Год назад

I love when you two " comfrey " mess up. Your a precious couple. Thanku

@tammifinley9455 Год назад

I started Basil, oregano, rosemary ,chives and dill last year... 1st time doing garlic last fall- need to do more!!. Love your comfrey salve!!! Time to grow my "herb area bigger!!

@summermucha5207 Год назад

I love ❤️ how you two laugh and smile so much with each other.

@juliesimmonds7445 Год назад

I grow the most Basil. Love the smell and making tea with it. I have a pot of Oregano too.

@rebeccadoherty2034 Год назад

This winter I ramped up my plant interest and wanting to grow for health reasons. Interesting that we already have some plants that are medicinal: shasta daisy, Willow, ajuga, hydrangea, catnip, strawberry leaves. I didn’t realize that garlic is planted in the Fall. We started it in February. I definitely will plant some in October. We have this year: 3 types of tomatoes, 3 types of peppers, stevia, lemon balm, lavendar, bee balm, peppermint, heal all, patchouli, 2 types of chamomile, ginger, yarrow, cosmos, zinnias, dill, onions, calendula, balloon flower, peony, 2 types basil, 2 types thyme, oregano, parsley, carrots, lettuce. We are so excited

@allenfarm Год назад

"Next 5 in the top 40" Looked far and wide for this type of video in January when i was buying seeds.If yall could also show us how to use these at the end of the season!

@christineclark Год назад

I don't think I could narrow it down to the top five! We're growing ALOT of new herbs this year and some of the the old favorites. I bought comfrey seeds from your shop and I'm so glad you mentioned they take a while to germinate...I was getting nervous! Lemon balm would be up there on my list, I just love it. The only one we do not have from your top 5 is turmeric but I think we need to make room for it! I am most excited about growing elderberries this year. I bought seeds from the Sacred Seed Co. last year and had no idea it took so long to get those babies going. But I read up on it and started them in July of 2022- seven months later they were ready to be potted up and now they're ready to be planted! Also thankful for y'all mentioning they love water as I was having a hard time deciding where they should go. We have two bushes that were established in our field but I want the new ones a little more accessible. Thanks for sharing!

@ritamccartt-kordon283 Год назад

We have Wild Elderberries all over the place. I decided to order, through your link, a new variety of Elderberry. They only had Pocahontas in a 3 pack. So I ordered a Bob Gordon as a small rooted plant. Maybe this will help our Wild Ones as a companion. I have my netting ready this year! Last year I didn't get much, the Birds ate the majority. This was a WONDERFUL video! Please consider doing more! We plan to visit your store soon. GOD bless

@deboraheversole1303 Год назад

Got your comfrey seeds. I have 5 sprouts right now. They are good and healthy. Love oregano oil. It got me through the 2020 bug. I tell a lot of people about it. Moringa has been my go to for arthritis. Calendula is growing for the first time in my raised bed. Lemongrass is amazing as a tea. Love herbs!

@michellediesterhaft456 Год назад

How is your moringa growing? I so badly want one of those too.

@helenehenkel Год назад

Lavender, calendula, chamomile comfrey & garlic. Favorites to grow

@melissah5789 Год назад

We plant comfrey around our fruit trees. Bc the roots are so strong and grow so deep they help the tree roots grow deeper. We love it there too bc it brings in more helpful bugs.

@terriflores2248 Год назад

I love all your videos! And I am new to apothecary and still pretty new at gardening. You provide a lot of great information! Thank you.

@starrmasner6015 Год назад

Y’all are just wonderful. I love your smiles and spirit, you inspire me to continue to do my best with my garden and health. Will y’all be at the Baker Creek planting festival? Would love to meet y’all.

@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 Год назад

Starting points are always good because I remember starting out, it gets overwhelming to try and do it all !!! I wish I had a relationship like you two ❤ Blessings

@trumpeterswan4177 4 месяца назад

Had a c section 18 years ago and have never since felt like myself in shape beneath my belly button. Tha k you, its time to get back my flat tummy again.

@kellytalley7180 Год назад

My grandma was cutting off some weeds & told me that she was going to make her some poke salad. I called my mom & told her grandma had lost her mind. She just laughed at me. I don't think I will ever forget that. ( 20 years ago) 😆

@stacyrobbins2378 Год назад

Garlic scapes can be caned as well like pickles or anything else like that they’re delicious

@tasteofheavenhomestead8553 Год назад

We need runner ups!!

@Pollyanna1233 Год назад

I am so fortunate to live close to a major creek where elderberry is abundant.

@Clarinda787 Год назад

GREAT VIDEO! Can you make a series dedicating a video to each herb you grow, how you process it, and what you use it for? That would be a fabulous series!

@bethmollet4956 Год назад

Y’all are indeed awesome- as a retired cardiac nurse who leans towards herbals meds - Ive become disenchanted with our healthcare system here in the US-

@jamiesnider1635 Год назад

Oregano, thyme, sage, yarrow, and comphrey. Also have tons of echinacea growing for medicinal purposes and just because the flowers are so beautiful and it flowers profusely ALL summer long (polinators love it too!)... a must have in any garden!

@joniepancyrz635 Год назад

Great information keep,telling people about the sprays and chemicals on our veggies and fruits we buy very toxic for us love your content great info ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻. God Bless you two♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻

As you can see oregano is a love of mine. My first go to 🌱 even my young adult children couldn’t leave home without it.

@stephaniemckee-akafarmgirl Год назад

I love this style of a vlog…I would like to hear more on tips and tricks on growing different things…especially broccoli. For some reason I struggle with this veggie

@kellyrosloniec300 Год назад

Lemon Basil is my favorite to dry and use for cooking. I use it all winter long in soups.

@mimasminihomestead Год назад

Love these informational videos!! Cant wait to hear about all the other herbs you grow! ❤

@NanaPelletier Год назад

Top 5 in previous years, garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme, not sure if basil is medicinal but we sure do love it. This season, im revamping a bed from flowers to an herb, tea, and medicinal garden. Im putting in the things mentioned, plus chamomile, echinecea, my peppermint in a pot.

@prairiegirlcowboyhomestead5876 Год назад

Hi kids, good to see you. Lots of good info you are sharing! Say hello to Grammy Karen for me. Hope all is well on the homesteads.

@mscarlarn Год назад

Great info. Even if I can’t grow it I know where I can get them!! Thanks guys!! Love your store.

@sweett6804 Год назад

Loved this video! Please do more. I'm new to growing medicinals so this was a big help! I've tried and failed with feverfew and arnica. Successful with calendula. Found you through the Fit Farmer, who my hubby and I met last weekend at Mountain Readiness event. We're in zone 6b too in western NC. Thank you so much for the info.

@nanamary6 Год назад

I have been growing elderberry for 15 years now, we make a syrup with elderberry, cloves , cinnamon, ginger,and then when COVID hit I added mullein.

@NancySutherland Год назад

Great information. I need to get some turmeric. For the garlic, that I have been growing for years, I ferment the scapes. It’s so good! I even put some in the blender, making it even more versatile.

@garyjinontariony Год назад

Thank you Jenn, the mad scientist, love it, lol,,,you have been showing us for so long now, Thank you Ms Jenn, please do not give in, to big pharma. Keep it natural as possible, love ya , be safe, God Bless thank you Zack...

@brettwhite5906 Год назад

I think this is the first video that I watched from this channel. I enjoy this content since it is a current interest for me. Thank you for sharing!

@debreena2888 Год назад

I live in norther ID with a very short growing season & harsh winters. What grows best for me is: echinacea, oregano, peppermint, catnip, calendula, lemon balm (melissa), borage, savory, parsley, poppies, dill, cabbage garlic & onion. Few people realize the medicinal properties of onion or cabbage. The parsley is especially good for dogs. My oregano has gone wild. It covers a slope & other areas now. Most of my herbs & "flowers" have gone wild all over. Cool...

@karenreaves3650 Год назад

Comfrey grows well in Florida, that’s #1.

@sandramcginnis1957 Год назад

Thank you so much for this video. I love them. I agree with others. Make more videos with 5 more herbs per video. I have learned so much!

@beckyd.236 Год назад

I have been using Tumeric for over 7 years now for my arthritis pain. It is a natural pain reliever and helps the inflammation so well.

@crystals14acregarden61 Год назад

I plant garlic around the outside of all my beds, instead of using a whole bed, so I still have all my beds for whatever else I want

@lisac.4811 Год назад

Garlic scape compound butter is amazing!

@janpiper3068 Год назад

This would make a fantastic series

@hollyhurd9208 Год назад

I grow mullen and goldenrod to make sure it's not sprayed with chemicals great stuff!

@cindyholcomb2159 Год назад

Feverfew, yarrow! Echinacha! I studied natural remedies while on lockdown! Almost forgot goldenrod! Caligula! I've made my own sauve! Love it!

@margerybedford4184 Год назад

Last year, I combined my homegrown garlic with honey in jar. Delicious! You MUST try this one. Mullein is my next 'go to'. I stuff washed, dried Mullein leaves into a jar. Top off with vodka. Let it sit in dark cupboard for 4-6 weeks. Strain then store in the cupboard in a jar with a PLASTIC LID . I use it for for asthma/allergy issues. Next one is marijuana. I have personally used it to remove a questionable mole and watched another friend recover from cancer. Powerful medicine. Seeds are a Superfood too! Happy growing 🌿

@mlee7037 Год назад

Garlic, of course!! Love basil, all kinds, sage, rosemary. A new fave that I started growing last year is marjoram! Let’s be honest, I love them all! Thank you for always giving us the best info!❤

@angelaraum1545 Год назад

You can interplant Garlic around yr whole garden for companion planting to keep bugs away.

@SweetRoots.85 Год назад

I grew garlic for the first time this year.I planted in November and harvested last week. I'm in love😍

@suehall2774 Год назад

Thank you so much!!! I have been wanting this information. I wish you all would do a book on herbs, and medicinal purposes and cooking! Ohh how I need a book like that. Thank you!!!🤗

@BradfordHomestead Год назад

I’m new, but I’ve been gardening since I could walk. I grow all you mentioned; in addition basil, thyme, dill, and calendula are growing now. I also harvest goldenrod when time, and dry for tinctures. Good for allergies among other things. Oh and there’s lots of Plantain in the side yard, keeping the animals away from it until I can harvest.

@blessingsdailyg4672 Год назад

At less than a minute in, I am already loving this video! So glad this popped up on my feed! Exactly what my ADHD, indisive, want all the herbs self, needed!

@vinagerie427 Год назад

Excellent list of must-haves...love them all. Blessings, Kids...Hope you grow well, & learn/teach much on your journey. Other than wishing I had started mine about 35 yrs. ago, I'm grateful for the opportunities before me now, with such perfect timing to help family & friends while gathering others of the Kind. Funny...

@wideawake333 Год назад

You should do segments on the top 5 Herbs for specific categories. Flu/colds, allergies/respiratory, bruises/sprains, womens health and hormones, etc

@sheliaheverin8822 Год назад

I grow a lot of parsley, fennel and dill for the swallowtail caterpillars (eventually butterflies to help pollinate), I love the smell of rosemary and I grow a bunch of garlic. Like you said, that is 5...I grow a bunch more that I love.

@daisyhall7381 Год назад

Yes I loved your videos, especially the one about the man that died, I shared that one with my cousin in Atlanta Ga. Please make more of this kind, it’s very informative

@lizzyimberi9261 Год назад

This style of video is great!

@cookingwithshelleypampered1735 Год назад

Thanks for the info! These are the herbs I have in my kitchen garden every year- Oregano, Rosemary, Thyme, Basil, Chives, Lemon Balm and Lavender! I also grow Garlic each year but just consider it a part of my veggies garden as it get used like a veggie every day in my meals!

@roxanne8798 Год назад

Love this video! I want to grow herbs that I can use medicinally but have always been unsure of myself in how to make salves & tinctures. Would love more videos like this one!!

Lemon balm is one of my top herbs.

@susanbreeland8620 Год назад

I have sweet basil coming up all over from last year!! Always enjoy basil!!

@angelbmann3531 Год назад

Elderberry flowers are such a good medecine too… for cold, etc. it’s so delicious too. You can make sirop with it too. Teas, etc … We had a few bushes on our last property. I used to harvest 1/2 for the flowers.

@Onegoodyarn Год назад

I love this video and hope you make more. I'm just starting my medicinal garden this year and I'm so excited.

@BackInTimeHomestead Год назад

I learn so much from y'all!!! I had no idea about cutting off the garlic scapes. This was my first time planting the elephant garlic this past October, & I noticed that they were growing those ball-looking things on top now...I wondered what they were...now I know, thanks to y'all. I'm also trying to learn how to grow medicinal herbs & make tinctures & salves for myself, which I am learning because of your awesome videos. So thank y'all SOOOO much!!
