I remember when I was a little girl I would pick some these little flowers and pull the end off and pull the long stem in the middle through it and I could get a drop off sweet nectar out of it. It taste so good. The flower smells wonderful.
I love the smell of them
As kids we did the same thing . Good times 👍
I still do this. It is the best smell and taste.
Still do this when I find it
Great plant honeysuckle many uses. For sure and smells wonderful. One of my favorites.
It sure does
When I was a not so bright little girl, I spent practically a whole day at the honeysuckle vines in our backyard, trying to collect enuff nectar to be able to sip it from one of those little bathroom dixie cups.
It kept evaporating, I think, cuz I couldn't even get a teaspoon full ! Hahahaaa
Youd be hard pressed to get much from them but i think we have all sucked on them
I just purchased the Northeast medicinal plant book today. The ability to get medicinal properties from nature is a priceless knowledge. Thanks
Yes it is
I am so glad you did this video! I absolutely love honeysuckle! But I had no idea it was medicinal!Now I have another reason to love it! Yes, that was the thing when I was growing up too, sucking that drop of nectar! And yes, I still do when I find it. And we won’t talk about how old I am now 😂
It’s always been one of my favorite flowers and I’ve never thought of it as a weed. I used to be so disappointed when someone would cut it down. It has such a wonderful fragrance! Your channel is such a blessing! Can’t wait for “Just in Time” Sunday!
Thank you for watching my videos. Wouldnt be worth doin without yall.
Kudzu is a cousin to the pea. Young leaves can be steamed...older leaves can be boiled and cooked like turnip greens. The root ball can grow to 400 pounds, and is known as arrow root, a thickener like cornstarch. You can also eat the root as mashed potatoes.
Old folks are often seen picking leaves and shoots off of highway 82 between Winona and Greenwood Mississippi. 😊
Happy to know that about honeysuckle and the benefits..thank you ...
Lot more useful than i ever thought
So cool, my honeysuckle has gone crazy taking over my entire side fence along my neighbors, and its provided a beautiful privacy wall, as well as bring tons of humming birds and dragonflies to our yard. I planted it about 3 yrs ago, and its grown over 20ft wide and about 10ft high. Its always had massive blooms but this year some reason its just exploded in more blooms flowers ive ever seen it have. Im so happy its so happy and so excited to get to harvest some of it and use for this horriable cold and cough i have right now...its good for the cooling cold, it has cooling properties according to Chinese herbal medicines.
I think all us country kids all sucked the flavor out them . Good to know about the antibiotic properties.
Yea we all did and some of us still do lol
@@SpiritoftheOutdoors yes sir
Thank you so much for schooling us. Very inspiring I appreciate you sharing!!
Thank you for watching
Really good video. I like your common sense way of checking the books, then saying, " this part right here." I'm trying to learn, but I think that is the real medicine way.
Awesome video! I do have it growing in my yard. I’ll look into doing something with it. Thanks again. On a side note I’m getting ready to make root beer from sassafras. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as it’s all new to me.
Ive made tea but never root beer. I did see somewhere how to do it. If i find it ill let you know
Oh my goodness! Thank you thank you thank you for this video! I have tons of honeysuckle in my back yard and never knew it had medicinal properties to it. Time to expand on my knowledge of this beautiful plant :) You are a God send to me; I'm learning so much :)
Bless you !
Thanks Bud
I grew honeysuckle because I heard it was used traditionally as an herbal remedy plant by natives and as a forager I wanted to try to use it somehow. Thank you for this video! Also the hummingbirds love them!
Making it in tea with sasifras is nice
Thank you for this video! I use honey suckle to make sweet tea (just add honey), sav ( with plantain and chic weed in avocado oil), and you can even make jelly with it if you get enough of em.
Great video good Sir, God Bless!
Thank you
@@SpiritoftheOutdoors Your welcome!
I just love your videos.❤ Looking forward to seeing your wild lettuce videos. I just recently found some on our homestead and "are really excited" about making tincture.
Im working on one now . Tar easier to make but a lot longer process
@@SpiritoftheOutdoors I have seen other videos on the wild lettuce where they cut it up and put it in 100% vodka in a mason jar.
@@joannvozzo4586 there is nothing wrong with doing it that way
Used to do the same thing growing up with the nectar. I didn't realize the medicinal qualities it had and that it was a foreign species. It's been around as long as I can remember and that's more than a minute or two..
Lot of what folks brought over here was medicine they knew how to use already
Would make a video of drying them
Bout to make some comfrey oil, might add some honeysuckle now, we have a big old tree covered in it out back.
Very interesting
That butterfly in the intro looks like the catapillar in the cage
We still have 3 in cocoons. I got a book today at the thrift store on butterfly gardening . It’s interesting to see. I want brody to get to turn 3 butterflies loose soon and ill film it
@@SpiritoftheOutdoors oh good. I will love seeing that.
Sir, what is your Best recommendation for a specific tincture you use commonly?? 💕💕
That is probably an individualistic question because it would have to do with what is wrong with you most commonly. If you have some health issue you gonna focus on that first but for a healthy person . I say goldenrod flowers for colds during the winter. Im more of a tea person . I love herbal teas juts to sip on so goldenrod, rabbit tobacco mostly then cardinal flower and passion plant for anxiety and wild lettuce i usually tincture for pain but now that i have the paste i use it. I keep other emergency herbs like boneset to break fever and a few other dried herbs i find just to have because they are here
Look up how to make tincture and tea?? Use it dry or fresh??
For tea i would just add fresh plant to some hot water and let it sit 10 min or so and it will make fine tea. You can use it dried as well. If you have plenty blooms pack them in a glass jar and cover with alcohol like vodka
Since you use plants so much, have you thought about keeping bees to pollinate all the plants? Can you infuse any of your medicines in honey, too? That would be good for sore throats, I bet.
We have a bee home here but we dont keep bees and harvest honey
I picked up a japanese honey suckle to grow into a bonsai. Of course it got out of control. It will take the shingles off your roof.
I had to run over some here with the lawn mower . It was taking over my fig tree
