White snakeroot is poisonous and as you mentioned it is reported that milk from cows that ate it killed President Lincoln's mother. It can be invasive and that's the main reason I'm not a fan. Wish I had not introduced it to my yard despite its flowers. I'm going to try and dry someof the flowers though and see if it may have some positive value for me but I'm not hopeful given their fluffiness. I did not know the story about how milk sickness was discovered! Thank you for a very informative discussion.

This is such a wonderful demonstration! Thank you!

This was very informative and helpful. Thanks a bunch!

9/23/24 Have hummingbirds left? I haven't seen any in several days now, after having seen them several times a day only a week or so ago.

Use in floral arrangements in my own home and lasts for 3 weeks . AND deer will not eat it. There are many poisonous plants in arrangements. Just use common sense.

Love how this looks! How many plants did you plant to get it to look like this?

Thank you so much for this wisdom it's very thorough and by that actually usable. I'm very subsetable to all the things you mentioned that it can help with... ❤😊

Just a shameless plug for your Shepard pole feeder with raccoon baffle- it has effectively broken the will of any raccoon or squirrel to even go near the feeders anymore, where everything else failed. I have a full week of trail cam footage to prove it. EXCELLENT product!!

My raccoons destroy my suet feeder. This is a great idea.

I’ll have to remember those products, as they solve 2 problems- pesky 4-legged thieves and the bird seed waste from messy eaters. The only benefit from errant seed on the ground are volunteer sunflower plants popping up in my garden area which has been kind of fun. 🌻🌻🌻

And this plant is edible also

Very good!

If you accidentally touch it or will you be okay because I was walking and I walked through the plant and I don't know if my hand might have touched it.

Very interesting! Never new that kind of thing was found in the north. The ant/egg connection is too fun. I had heard of that with seeds...but another insect, cool...

Have tried a few times to grow this in southern NY state...no bueno. Then I see it thriving here in a supermarket parking lot island, baking in sun and surrounded by asphalt and concrete. I'm assuming it likes to suffer... A lot

Mine are tough. I planted three in the very dry way back garden. Doing pretty good! Oh, and I had a bad Japanese beetle problem this year. They didn’t touch these. Neither do the deer and bunnies.

Can this be transplanted?

Great informative video! Thanks for sharing.

I planted a few in the "way back garden" in the spring and forgot about them. They took right off. One bloomed this year and the bees love them!

Just was thinking about adding this cool-looking plant to my pollinator garden. Thanks for the info!

I have the same box I see branch material in it it’s July now I don’t want to disturb it just in case

I’m so happy I found your video wonderful information but I have a question I planted a little gym magnolia in my front yard so is this the host plant For the eastern tiger swallowtail? I also planted some milkweed and this is my first year seeing butterflies everywhere

Thanks this help out a lot

What other specific plants do you let take over after spiderwort?

The Les Cheneaux and Drummond Island are a fantastic areas. I found a albino Fringed Polygala near the Drummond rest stop.

Thanks very helpfull

Thanks for sharing good informational video! I've been searching for info since the middle of June to figure out how to get three 4th instar cats off my potted Sassafras tree into an enclosure I've used to raise Monarchs. My first pupated 6/14/24. After spending many, many hours with them not knowing how long it takes to actually pupate, the last one pupated yesterday. Now I wait for them to eclose. According to your video, it looks similar to the Monarchs. Now I wait and hope to get lucky to watch at least one of my Spicebush Swallowtails eclose.

Excellent info! Do they spread and if so are they aggressive?

I was given two cuttings of this from a friend, do you know if it’s possible to root from cuttings? I’d like to have it in my Garden

Rabbit ate the frost blooms on mine.

Good information. I’m fighting buckthorn in my suburban yard.

I would love this IF it had bee guards in the nectar ports. It does not; I contacted the company. I hope they add them! I have a smaller version of this feeder that is made by a different company that does, but it’s smaller than I would like.

Thank you!

Thank you, Martha. In northern York County Pennsylvania my first snakeroot was a volunteer! Now many plants have dispersed into other beds. The stately new growth is always welcome in the Spring to balance out the showy daffs, iris, dicentra, tulips etc. Deer, groundhogs and other critters avoid it! Wish it had a sweeter common name . . .

Mine has a bluish cast in the winter months. Also a thicker rubbery leaf in fall / winter

Wee, I have learned that one of my favorite graminoides in my back lawn is Beak Grass / Diarrhena ! 😊🎉 upper E TN

I found some of these wild along the side of a road here in San Diego. The cranes bills are huge, maybe 5 or 6 inches. I'm going to harvest some of the seeds 🙂

I'm growing these in my Ohio meadow

I just planted two under the trio of evergreens next to our bedroom window. Hopefully it will spread and get along with my wood poppies and other shade plants. Thanks for doing these videos!

My favorite grass! So pretty.

Martha is adorable

Thanks for the info and resources! My lawn management practice has definitely changed over the last several years. I’ve purposely never put chemicals on the lawn and therefore always have had “weeds,” but have changed the cutting practices to be more pollinator-friendly. Last year I tried No Mow May, but it grew so much that it was very hard to manage after the fact. This Spring, I’ve been trying to mow less often and at a higher height so that many of the dandelions, violets, etc have time to bloom and some can go to seed. I also over seeded with clover last Fall to help. Ideally, I’d like to cut down on the grassy area I have… a work in progress. Regarding dandelions, I know that some say that they don’t do much for pollinators and wildlife in general, but I when I picked some to make dandelion jelly the other week, the many dandelions that I left had little bees a buzzing about and I also witnessed birds eating the seed heads and stems. Thanks again!

Thank you for explaining these, have several in our yard and was watching all the life that was in them yesterday!!!

A great summary of vernal pool monitoring! Thanks for getting the word out!

I have a pair of bluebirds that built a nest in my bluebird house! First time seeing a bluebird in almost twenty years!

Just bought one today

Have this weed all over my yard, trying to pull as much as possible. 😮 its s pain it the butt.

Where is your store located and what type of merchandise do you sell?

Cool video!!!😊

Wonderful. Like a holiday in nature. Thanks for sharing.
