Good Morning April. The tip about freezing for 24 hours. And the difference between spring and fall for the root. Amazing information, thank you for taking us out for a walk. So pretty where you live.
I have been watching you for a few years now and I must say, you have become my favorite teacher. Thank you so much for all your knowledge, and for just being a human. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you.
If anyone is ever curious about whether or not it's going to rain just look towards the dandelion. On a cloudy day it's a dandy lions are open and not close all the way then it's not going to rain. Is the blooms are closed then rain is soon coming.
Just want to say you are a joy to watch and listen to April, I've absorbed so much from you and just want to say thank you. It's a beautiful blue bird sky kind of day there, I miss the west so much. Enjoy your day 😊.
My great grandmother came west in early 1900 in a covered wagon & they ate dandelion leaves like we eat other greens. It was an abundant staple for the family.
Yep, my neighbors are hating me already cuz i haven't mowed once yet and dandelions are rampid 😬😂. Everyone around me has mowed at least 3 or 4 times already lol
Guess they haven't heard of "No Mow May" either 😂. Lawns are not naturally occuring and people seem to have these stupid competitions as to whom has the "picture perfect" lawn laden with chemicals and who knows what. Let the haters hate and keep on smiling! Blessing for you! 🙏🫶💚
Hahahhaha same here! I really don't care what mine think. Every day I very happily go foraging in my yard . If I pick one flower she grows two more for me and the bees
And here I thought I new miss dandelion lol wow thanks for the detailed deep dive and shit I did not already know April 💜✌️and did you know she shows up where ever the land needs healing , it's so cool to share and learn info. Thanks again April and ty apple tree 😂
Wow ! Perfect timing... Dandelions are coming up here everyday ( Pennsylvania ) Looking into what to do with them again. Started to learn about them last year when they were almost done. I believe that you have a few videos on them too that I want to watch again. Thank you for All you do. Truely you are a Blessing. God Bless & see you at Tea Time 🤗🌿❤️🫖😎🙂
Thanks, April and Tree, this morning I picked all the dandelions that showed up in my backyard garden and then dehydrated them for tea leaves also thinking about making a super green powder with dandelions and nettles for the year. 🍀
My mother and I would forage for dandilion greens when I was a small child and we were dirt poor. I enjoyed the cooked greens with a bit of apple cider vinegar salt and pepper. My Aunt made the dandilion wine and it was very good lol 😂. Hey April are you going to make any apple cider vinegar with all the apple trees you have on your property? Thanks for my continuing education. I learn something new every day from you. Much love and many blessings. 💚
I know you're all about teaching the health benefits of everything, but, i highly encourage everyone to research all the wonderful things dandelion does for our yards, and can teach us about our yards, it's soooo interesting!
My favorite 😍 Had leaves, buds and flowers with feta last evening, the roots are still waiting, I eat the small ones like candy, raw, the blooms are my garden snack, I now may just put some in the freezer😊 My latex allergy must just be to synthetic, dandies never bother me.
Amazing! I Started adding the flower and leaves to my salad this spring to incorporate bitter herbs. I will definitely be digging the root to make some tea this fall! Thank you
Good afternoon April. Thank you so much for sharing all the very useful information about the world around us I really appreciate it have an awesome day!
I like how you have done your dreads. It looks nice, the side sweeping style. I use to do hair, skin and makeup. A nice natural moisturizer, a little concealer under eyes, and some Arrowroot powder, lightly applied with brush to take shine away. Mix some beet powder with coconut oil, add a little color here and there. You look happy and vibrant in this video 😊
So many people spray and treat it as a unwanted weed in the garden/lawn when in fact it is a herb that has been used down through the generations. Love your videos.❤
My mom and aunt picked young dandelion leaves and made a sweet vinegar sauce, warm it all and put cooked, crumbled bacon on top. Normally endive is used for this, but they used dandelion too. 😃 Pretty tasty stuff Thanks for sharing more useful info April!!!
That was awesome! Super helpful to hear about freezing before drying. It makes so much sense. I keep trying to learn from you not only all the material things but also the way you embrace and employ your body of knowledge and experience. I’m sending you a grateful hug. ❤
I love your place! You would love my natural back yard on my mountain that is Loaded with dandelions! Great video and Thank you for the spring root tip!
4 cups of dandelion petals. (I remove the green). 4 cups water (In one batch I also added a small organic apple and lemon. It was delicious!). Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover, and let sit overnight (or at least 5 hours). The next day strain out the solids. Measure the liquid you have and add it to a pot. Add an equal amount of sugar. Bring to a low boil and continue stirring until you reach your desired consistency. Pour into sterilized jars. I get almost 2 pints of syrup. (Be sure to test it on a cold plate because it will be thicker than you realize. I messed up my third batch by overcooking it and it all crystallized). I hope this helps you. 🙏❤️
Awesome tip! Freezing the flowers before drying, I put the flowers in oil after I picked them. But im going to go out tomorrow and get some more of her. Here in the UK, we've been enjoying this beauty for several weeks ( by we, I mean people and pollinators 😂). Because although you are absolutely right about there being very little pollen, when dandelion comes up, she's pretty much one of the first flowers to emerge in early spring here. Thank you for sharing your wisdom again. I'm so glad I am subscribed. A few quid a month to you is basically just two loaves of bread for me. Feeling like I'm giving something back to you makes me feel less guilty for drinking in all your amazing brain power!❤
Love the freezer tip! My sister used my dandelion oil on a cat who had severe allergies that caused her to scratch away all of her fur on her face. The cat took to it right away!

I love the way you talk about the plante... could you Please make a video on how to make friends with the plant (conciousness) and arsk it to help with ....say a prayer please how du your do ...
Last year I found out drying the blossoms only fast forward their life cycle! This year, picked ones bearly starting to bloom. Next year into the freezer! Just tried picking the bud? (Time will tell) Been deep fried blossoms for years. Now I freeze them on a cookie sheet. After frozen, put into bags. And enjoy months later. Started to make patties in frying pan. 1c blossoms (no green, just yellow) 1 egg, 1 Tbl mix & fry. Makes 2 patties. I learned so much more from you today. Spring roots, wow! & using the stems. Glad the tree was helpful. Thankful for all you teachings. Sorry this is long
My children love picking dandelions. We got some yesterday and saved them and they puffed up like you just mentioned. I’m pretty new to learning about herbs and it’s so interesting. But I can bring my children along with me to learn as part of homeschooling. Thank you so much for your education!
Dandelion is still one of my favorite herbs. She has sooo many uses in medicine.. and eating!! I pickle enough to pickle throughout winter. And I make rice with them. . She is such a wonder plant!!
I'm so looking forward to the spring, our front yard is facing full sun and Every year our yard is COVERED in dandelions!! I'm going to buy a claw tool and dig them out and slowly reduce their numbers! While I do that I want to dry them out and use them for some medicines. If anyone is in the Manitoba Canada area and would like some, let me know, I will have more then what I know what to do with 😅

April, you're amazing! Thank you!
I've made 3 batches of dandelion syrup so far this year. 🙏
@terino11 could you share how you made your syrup?Thankyou in advance.
4 cups of dandelion petals. (I remove the green).
4 cups water
(In one batch I also added a small organic apple and lemon. It was delicious!).
Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover, and let sit overnight (or at least 5 hours).
The next day strain out the solids. Measure the liquid you have and add it to a pot. Add an equal amount of sugar. Bring to a low boil and continue stirring until you reach your desired consistency. Pour into sterilized jars. I get almost 2 pints of syrup.
(Be sure to test it on a cold plate because it will be thicker than you realize. I messed up my third batch by overcooking it and it all crystallized).
I hope this helps you. 🙏❤️
It takes about 600 dandelions for me to get 4 cups. And taking the greens off is tedious. 😉
As Always You Rocked This. Thanks April.❤
Thanks April 🧡💚
