Excellent collection of flowers
Dental description of their properties and uses
👍
Thank you! I have found so many wonderful resources out there by purchasing used herbal medicine books for cheap online and building up a little library to help guide my choices. 🌿~Rochelle
Lemon balm can be invasive but I love the smell and adding it to tea.
Agreed! I like giving it a special place where I don't mind it sprawling about 🤗🌿 The taste is phenomenal in tea!
Tea is really good
Using little tea bags for an eye stye right now
@SharonPenseAugustin agreed! Gotta love the assortment of uses of these herbs and flowers. 🌿~Rochelle
Great video!
BTW: it’s pronounced:
Ah gahs tu kee
😊
A helpful tip is to go to the Missouri botanical garden plant finder site when you are trying to figure out how to pronounce a particular plant name, they have a spoken pronunciation on many plants. Go to the gardens and gardening tab, then your garden, then plant finder 👍🏼
Oh my goodness - THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I tend to struggle with certain names so this tip is incredibly helpful 🩷 I'll be referencing this site for sure. Take care! ~ Rochelle 🌿
Happy neighbor!
Oh yes, very happy indeed! 😁🌿💗
I would highly recommend Tulsi or Holy Basil, Cinnamon Basil and Chocolate mint!
Hi there! These are wonderful suggestions! I grew these this year (minus the chocolate mint). I found Tulsi to one of my favorites 🥰 🌿~Rochelle
@@SproutingPathsHomestead I absolutely love Tulsi too!
Wow! Such a beautiful greenhouse!!! I love your seed selection!!! I love growing herbs 🌿 I definitely hope to grow Calendula this year!!
Thank you! 🩷 Oh you will just love Calendula! The scent alone is lovely and there are so many ways to utilize the plant. Enjoy!! 🌿
great video, nice to learn about herbal tea plants; I live in PA now but grew up in Cooperstown, NY / Otsego country; looking forward to your next video
Hi Madison! Thank you - Glad you found it helpful! Our family enjoys visiting Cooperstown; especially while staying at Betty & Wilbur Davis SP 🩷 Beautiful area!

I started my first herb garden last year and hope to expand it. 🌼🏵 I've struggled with growing chamomile, but I enjoy a cup when I can't sleep.
Hi Adrienne! Definitely keep trying your hand at growing chamomile - once you get it going, it'll be good to go year after year. Maybe try different varieties (German, Roman, Zloty Lan)?
Growing and tending to an herb garden is so fun - like you I hope to expand as well. I find it to be a creative outlet at times! 🌿

@@SproutingPathsHomestead I've bought some Kelway Golden Chamomile, but haven't tried it yet. I bought a grown plant from a nursery and managed to kill it. Lol
I love your greenhouse! Have you changed your seed organiation or garden planner this year? I watched your video showing what you use. I watched it many times. Such good info. Like to see more. Like when you plant. Winter sowing? I'm new to gardening. My husband built me a cattle panel greenhouse,. It"s so cute. It will be finished by March hopefully. I have a Mr Stacky. Going to start seeds next week in it. Wish me luck. Going to put it in a protected place with a grow light.
Hi Renee! Thank you so much! The greenhouse was defintely a labor of love as I am sure you and your husband understand ;) I'm so glad you asked about my seed organization and planning methods - I haven't changed either and in my next video I plan to show my "planner" for this year along with some seed varieties I am excited to try this year. This year I am also hoping to put out more videos showcasing planting and sowing in the garden (last year the animals stole the show - and our time lol.) In regards to winter sowing, I actually *just* started researching and learning about this method and find it intriguing! Have you ever tried? Enjoy your seed starting next week! I have to wait another few weeks before I get to start my onions ... I am so looking forward to it! Take care!

I’m glad I found your channel I am from upstate New York 🗽 as well! So I am looking forward to seeing what we can grow here in our zone there’s not too much info from our area. Can you recommend what to grow and start in winter? / spring indoor Seeds when to start them? Which to start? Video Tips ect… thanks 🙏 I subscribed! Great green house love it! My husband is making me one out of old windows this spring!
Hi Deggie! So glad to connect with another fellow upstate NY'er! In regards to starting seeds for Spring/Summer planting here in Zone 5B, I typically start most peppers (sweet and hot) in mid-late February, tomatoes in mid-late March and any squash/pumpkin varieties around the end of April or beginning of May. I start many other flowers and plants as well and follow the instructions on the seed packet or google when that particular variety should be started. Typically the packet may say something like "Start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost" and for our area the last frost for this year is estimated to be 5/3/2023. So I count backward 4-6 weeks and start those seeds indoors around 3/29 or 4/5. Here is a link to our "Garden" playlist of videos that may help answer some other questions. I hope this was helpful! ~Rochelle 💗🌿ua-cam.com/play/PLL-i8emlk6bwN2umpTUeOtH0Xw6bmzQzv.html
Maybe they pronounce it differently in different parts of the country.
Where do you purchase your seed?
Hi Shannon! I purchase from a variety of places - Baker Creek, Botanical Interests, MIgardener, Pinetree and Seeds n Such to name a few.
