I found some wild strawberries growing in my yard, so I moved them to a bucket and now every spring - I cut the new vines and move the bucket to a new part of the yard. I call it lazy farming. 😂😂😂
I have plenty of strawberry leaves in my garden. Very few berries. Now please show us what to do with the leaves please ma'am. Love this channel. I have never commented before until today 🥰😍🙌🏾💯
You r lovely and gracious how u regard these strawberry leaves to be medicinal-instead of throw away-now I see them differently…big thanks/keep doing your podcasts…u will be known, more and more, as the person who encouraged us all to open our minds how rich, with God’s bounty, even leaves are.🤗🪴
You really do make me feel smart enough to do th I s. I never would have thought strawberry leaves were medicinal. Thanks so much fir sharing your knowledge.
I always dry some and add them to my mixed greens. I powder it in small amounts and add it to soups, sauces, salad dressing, burgers, even bread dough when it strikes me.
April, you should share your input about cranberries when the fall comes. I have had surgeries for years and the antibiotics fkd up my stomach. My pee smelled like ammonia and I'm pretty damn sure candida formed and I had no idea what was up for the longest. I went in and had so many tests done over a year and they gave me more antibiotics. Go figure. I drink water ALL day and there was no change. I started taking cranberries and it would come and go. Then started probiotics. Probiotics and cranberries after a year of seeing docs. It's gone. The tannins, the amount of alkaline benefits. I'd love to hear how you'd break down the benefits of cranberries in your own words.
@paularobinson2352 thanks! That's a really good tip. I see so many women posting about smelly urine, not having a uti, not having std and can't detect any infection through the doctors tests and it makes me wonder how many ppl are suffering from candida. Doing things like drinking sugared cranberry. I'm going to keep some kumbousha stocked I think. I did fire cider as well but it's not that comfy going down when your stomach lining is so weak. The only reason I started wondering about my lining and candida was that I couldn't take things I normally could. Coffee, a little bit of minced garlic made me God awful sick and if I needed a Tylenol I'd be so crampy. I cried when the smell was gone and again when energy shifted within the next few days after.
Thank you for sharing. So good to see others eat/use their leaves as well. I use tomato leaves, grape leaves, apple leaves EVERYTHING just about in the garden! My pantry is crazy GREEN!!!
Thankyou April, for us older people here, old fashioned Dr Fowlers was made from strawberry leaves, ooh the memories of sore tummy’s as a kid. Appreciate you for all that you do you ❤❤❤
April! Your timing for this video was perfect as usual. I live in southeast Wyoming and I was just up in the mountains wondering about strawberry leaves❤️
I just recently learned about the benefits of strawberry leaves & seeing your video came at the right time! Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge and reminding everyone that they are smart enough to do this. I personally believe those words give those who are apprehensive the confidence to try what they would not have tried before!
Wonderful, I never heard anyone else talk about strawberry leaves before, have read a bit about raspberry leaves and was wondering about blackberry leaves yesterday and blossoms which are blossoming right now at least around here. You are amazing and believe me i'm tempted to join instagram just to follow your page so I don't miss stuff though for now I have signed up for your newsletter and also figured I bug you enough on youtube. 🍓🍓🍃🍃💗💗
I'm home sick with diarrhea today! This is perfect timing for you to post this! My strawberries are done string fruit for the season and perfect for my home remedy!
Serious question… How do you keep from getting ticks on you when you are sitting on the ground? Limes disease is a big problem here in the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania. I want to be as carefree as you are out in the woods. It seems so relaxing.
I'm in PA too. I know they do not like eucalyptus essential oil. I pulled one off of me and put it in a plastic tray, putting a q-tip in one corner with eucalyptus on it. The tick would crawl in loops around the tray, always going out of it's way to avoid that corner. I use those little travel spray bottles to make my mosquito & tick repellent.. fill it with warm water, add a single drop of dishsoap after filling, and anywhere from 10 drops of eucalyptus essential oil, 10 drops of grapefruit essential oil, and 10 drops of lemongrass essential oil. The latter 2 seem to keep the mosquitos away. I don't spray it on my skin. I spray it on my clothes and shoes. In my hair too. I just don't want the oils to seep into my skin, i think the labels advise that.
Ok it’s official, I lovelovelove strawberries and now we can use the leaves! Fuckin A! Gonna grow us some strawberries! Thank you Wild Woods Momma, LOVING your books 🤯🤯🤯and teas!!!
You are a blessing. I need strawberry leaves in my life, I hv been down with a strange virus that produced the worst chills and fever I hv ever had, my wrist, ankle, knee and hip joints just burned, it wiped my energy, emptied my gut and bowl and just totally put me down for 2+ days. And I'm stil suffering from the effects of it. It sounds like strawberry will help extinguish the inflammation and give me a much needed boost. Again, Thank You, You are a blessing!!
"a cup of Roundup tea" My whole body just cringed out of existence 😩 cuz you know it's real easy to happen.....ugggghhhh. I love your videos, my sister 💖
I don’t know exactly how I found you besides my botanist slash music inclinations…. I’ll cut the crap right? I love your insight, I love that wow I could actually do this…. Yes Gaia ….
I love your energy and your vibe. Thank you for your content and making me feel like I can take control. little by little I keep learning more and am confident I can do this! 😊
Hi there from Newberg Oregon. I did not know that about the tannins in her leaves. At my moms in WA the animals would always get the berries. Now I know I can harvest the beautiful leaves for even more benefits. Thank your abs have a Blessed Day 🦋
Love your videos, and like others, I didn't know about the use of strawberry leaves. Now I have a hanging strawberry plant with lots of flowers and berries appearing. Could you please, should us how to prepare the leaves for future use. Greetings from Prince Edward Island, Canada 🇨🇦
Hi April, 🤗 I love love love your videos but the volume is VERY LOW. You cover such a broad range of topics with tips and tricks, I don't want to miss anything!! 👍👍
You are the second woman in as many days mention starwberry leaves, so ill take that as a sign. LOL. Good to hear this info on the leaves, as three days ago, i wondered if the leaves were beneficial like raspberry leaves. We've had a very wet and gray June. I'm still finding cleavers popping up saying, "Pick me!Pick me!" Which i am. Thanks to you, strawberries are now also on my allies list
Thank you April for this useful information that I did not know, my question is I have lots of wild strawberry leaves that are huge but no berries so is this plant the same if it doesn’t fruit? Your channel has been so helpful and informative I’m passing your channel onto everyone 😊
Hi I have watched the entire video and am watching it again because of my learning disabilities it takes me awhile to process everything. What I was hoping you could help me with is figuring out if wild mock strawberry would have the same properties? It grows abundantly here on the east coast, thanks in advance ❤
Because of you.......
I now have a jar of dried strawberry, raspberry, blackberry leaves! 🤗❤️🤗
Thanks for another great video, April. Keep ‘em coming. 🌿🌿❤
Please never stop making videos!!
I learn something every time I watch you. Thanks so much
I have said this before, but it is worthy enough to say again. You're an amazing woman and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Ditto!
Yes she is
I was just about to make the same comment
@@growingaHome Go ahead I don't think it can be said enough 😄
I totally agree! So thankful i found her channel!
Gotta ward off that scurvy 😆 I'm glad to learn that this beautiful plant has so much more to offer than delicious berries! Thank you, April.
Scurvy is making a comeback I hear 😅😅😅

I will definitely be doing this once the berries are done growin!
I would love a little tour of your garden, I would love to see what you grow! 🌷
Very happy to hear this. I don't plant strawberries, but I have loads of wild strawberry all over my backyard.
Me, too! I love free food and herbs! How lucky are we?!
Thank you April! I have dehydrated strawberry ends for tea🍓

I was having the same issues & I fixed it with 8 oz of kumbousha a day.
@@paularobinson2352was it plain kombucha & did u make it yourself? Thank U!💖
Oh & how long did it take before things corrected :)?

srry if this a nuscense but hiii I love ur vids I'm starting my own journey on herbalism and earth-medicine and your vids are super helpful!!!!

I just put out an APB looking for unsprayed strawberry leaf. My strawberries blighted this past spring. Thanks again April for more ideas.
Thanks much ❤
I know a park that has a lot of raspberries.
I am going to check if you have a video on raspberry leaves.
