Can you please fix the title?
Thank you! This is amazing 😊
Do you have any tips for germinating seeds?
Very easy to germinate, they are annuals so they are great at self-seeding in native soil. This is one I would directly sow in your garden
Thank you for sharing this! I have a tiny little St John's worth plant growing in my front yar, but the few flowers have turned brown, so I was hoping to harvest the seeds so I can sew them in my medicinal garden for next year. Would you know when and how to sow those seeds? Is it better to start in pots inside and transplant in the Spring or direct sow? I am in Southern Ontario, Canada. Thanks
@@jdm3111 not ready yet. You need to make sure that the pods are brown, slightly open and that the tiny stem are brown (a sign that the plant is not feeding the babies anymore and that they are ready to live by themselves)
When do u plant the seeds. I am in northern maine its end of summer, but i heard i should plant in late fall?
@@hmartin751 yes December-January
So that would be winter not fall, have you seen Maine in dec or jan? 12 ft of snow? Dont think thats whem i plant swlf heal seeds😂@ottawawildflowerseedlibrar8788
@@hmartin751 yes in January, they need to be outside in freeze and thaw cycle (called cold moist stratification) for 60 days to germinate
@ottawawildflowerseedlibrar8788 ok I am just confused at how to put them in frozen ground.. when the package says to plant in fall. So I put the seeds in ground in winter not in the fall? Lol so confused fall would be November for me January is winter here. Package says plant in fall and ur telling me January
@@hmartin751 I think this playlist will help: ua-cam.com/play/PLB1nj5Po588NCfDFPkq400MpjBOL2b5kc.html&si=hhp3Qst4zICQp0zC
Hello, how do you know which native plant seeds need to be kept stored at room temperature?
@@priscillatenzar9934 this might help: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nNy50cpwN0tdOoXc-JH0gnB938vsHxW2qmbHBciWZbU/edit
@@ottawawildflowerseedlibrar8788 Thank you so much for sharing this information!
@@priscillatenzar9934 thanks for doing the work! 🙂
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing! ☺
@@priscillatenzar9934 thanks for the kind words! 💕
Excellent and well done video. It clearly explained how to make these envelopes without a lot of unnecessary information. Thank you!
Seeds being ready after the stem turns brown was a very helpful tip, thank you!
@@skkye795 Glad it was useful. They do take a long time so you have to wait many weeks.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! I'm so excited to harvest this fall!❤😊
@@DrJ4712 thanks for the kind words and good luck!
Do you cut the tiny pieces of filter as double or single ply? Do you aim to remove the air from the plastic bag before sealing?
How is it closed up for storage?
This might help ua-cam.com/video/sm6QGOEytrA/v-deo.htmlsi=dl1wrumvMQ_7pd-E
I do this, especially when transferring to containers.
Awesome! 💪
What time of year are they ready? I’m currently trying to collect some seeds but don’t know when
They are in bloom right now so give it a good two months minimum. They take a really long time
Thanks for the vid, been dying to figure our how to grow them, also in my experience you can hold the stem Connecting to the bean pod and clip it with your thumb, it won't go off until it's in a jar or bag, helps contain it
This plant is supposed to be poisonous??
you are correct humans and animals should not try to eat it. Here is one of the resources I use to see: plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/ageratina-altissima/
Thanks for the video!
@@markrunion1769 thanks for the kind words 😊
Hello. I heard you are looking for volunteers for tomorrow. Can l come volunteer?
Hello I would love to volunteer with you tomorrow .Can l bring my son who needs to complete his volunteer hours to graduate High school??❤
Yes that would be awesome. Please send an email to wildflowerseedlibrary@gmail.com
thank you! love this
Thank you for your kind words! 💕
We making Potent Snake Oil with this one🔥🗣️
For what it is used for?
I use it as a native ground cover. There might be also some edible properties I am not aware of.
handle by leaves, not stem,
pods are edible in early spring when smaller than 8cm. Boiled, and actually quite good unlike most other wild foods that are edible, but... just.
milk bags work great and chances are, there are a few lurking about.
and sharp cuts, as (apparently) rough cuts shred bees' wings.
Thanks for the videos - very helpful! Have you found any one method (pots vs. clamshells vs. juice bottles) to be more effective than the others?
Thank you. The mini green houses, with the recycled jugs, is the most effective method.
Do you have any other social media account other than UA-cam channel?
Yes we have a Facebook and an Instagram page
Helpful
Thank you for sharing
Okay This video helped me a alot
Nice video ❤
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you! Very well presented!
This is great but the video is so quiet I can hardly hear it!
Nice
Looks like you uploaded the wrong video, this is the spotted St John's wort video, not the New Jersey tea video.
you are right! thanks for flagging
😬 *Promo sm*
Thank you, very informative!
Great video! Thank you so much!
Thank you for another great video!
Love these! So well presented!
One species we most definitely don't have to collect anymore! Holy spread, Batman! :-)
we could use more donations this year if you can :)
It's the one species we didn't bother to collect since they seed so well. There may still be some viable ones kicking around so if we find 'em we'll set some aside. @@ottawawildflowerseedlibrar8788
I see this in Michigan everywhere i didn't know what it was thought chamomile & found it was not . Thank you I will grow some now for the pollinators.
Very interested. Thanks.
Thanks for this. I purchased a tiiiiiiiny seedling from Jardin Fletcher in June and it's become a shrub. Is it best to sow them directly into the ground in May, or sprout them first?
Thanks easy to follow
