Love clover! Smells so sweet in the spring! Does not grow tall. It USED TO BE included in grass seed because it puts nitrogen into the soil. But CHEM companies encourage you to add their chemicals instead, plus a poison to kill clover, other plants, and often insects.

There is a small patch in my street that the owner doesn't mow, it was full of nettles but we asked if we could sow cosmos, rudbeckia and echinacea. So now, that patch is full of flowers and nettles every year.

Imagining a bee goofing off, that really brings a smile to my face

Your poke weed is toxic, but young shoots can be eaten if cooked and drained several times.

Great video. I have over 5 acres for weed or wild flowers, but I can't seem to grow anything. The only flower I had are the sun flowers, small wild sun flowers, and few cactus. I collect lots of dandelion seeds to throw into my land, only got 2 plants alive. Later they died. All around outside our neighbor hood area has plenty of wild flowers. Right now I was able to grow some honey suckle around my garden fence, some garlic chives and bee balms, some fruit trees like apple, pear, peach, and blackberries, but want to grow plants that produce flowers all year round for the honey bees.

Poke weed is a highly medicinal plant, like any medicine toxic if you get too much. Poke can be eaten if prepared properly. The entire plant from root to berries has medicinal properties but must be prepared by someone who knows what they are doing.

That thistle was burdock. Growing up in England the only soda available was dandelion and burdock.

@RickyGentry-ej2dc

poke is native to my area. you can cook the leaves and are great with scrambled eggs. they do grown in the wild. the berries are poison if you eat them, however there a some birds that eat them.

@PreppingAngel Год назад

Here in the south, the locals eat the leaves at a young stage of Poke. We even have the Poke Sallet Festival here in TN. . They boil it and change the water 3x. I tried 5x and my guts REALLY didn't like it. They fry bacon and then fry the Poke in the bacon grease and then add scrambled eggs. Hubby was raised on it.

This video has provided the best 30minutes of bee and plant interest ever! Thank you.

@tommychew6544 Год назад

Videos like this get me looking forward to spring and replanting my different areas that I have let go the last couple years. It also got me to thinking about the different plants I used to see around when I was younger. My grandmother had a row of sweet pea bushes growing in her yard that was always covered in bees and wasps in the late summer, I think I have just the spot to plant a few of those. Thanks for helping me get green thumb out of storage.

I'm working on adding pollinator plants for all seasons. I started Anise Hyssop from seed and after it was planted over an old tree stump, its covered with bees in the morning. Growing Salvia, Asters, Mountain Mint, bee balm, sunflowers, fruit trees and clover in addition to vegetable plants. My apiary is around 20-25 hives and a dozen nuc boxes.

I don't have anything more to add than the others who posted comments, just DITTO and THANK YOU

Gosh thank you so much. Loved it.

@hoopnfarm Год назад

Wow! I can’t wait for my yard to have this kind of established beauty!!

@thevagabondsageinthewoods Год назад

Here at Cleburne, we are restoring a very old naturalized micro-meadow for the pollinators. We encourage native plants and have really enjoyed the entire season’s growth and changes. Also, our yards here (more than one family lives here now) are being sown with white clover. We don’t have to mow anymore and the pollinators just love it. It is possible to live WITH nature and not against her!! 👍👍👍

Also in case you don’t mention it in this vid, I want to shout out for ironweed! It showed up in our natural meadow and the butterflies flock to it like crazy for the 2-3 weeks that it is peaking. Great stuff! My thistle is known as nodding or musk thistle and it looked absolutely ablaze with great spangled frits during the peak season and looked glorious against mullein, who I call Queen Mullein. I LOVE vids like this!!
