Urgent emergency please join me in prayer for all those affected people children animals dire situations in Israel and the whole world they Desperately Need Your Prayers please pray for them God bless you all
Hoping you are in good health friend. I had not seen your name in the comment sections of diverse videos in quite a while. I had been wondering... glad you are still around. God bless.😊❤
I always have Yisrael in my prayers; Psalms 122:6 , pray for Jerusalem's peace. Lord have mercy with your people, the apple of your eyes, reveal yourself to them in Jesus name amén.
The plant you pulled up and discarded at the beginning is Prickly Wild Lettuce. I have both varieties in my yard too and both can be used to make the pain killer. They are at their peak for medicinal use, after the blooms start to fade. The only real advantage to the prickly variety is that it blooms much earlier and therefore can be harvested sooner.
When I make my salve with plantain, and other herbs for healing, I dehydrate the leaves and just break up a bit with my hands and infuse in Avocado oil for at least 6 to 8 weeks. The herbs must be dried, you cannot do this with fresh herbs. Then strain all the herbs of the oil (since at that point all the benefits of the herbs are now in the oil and can be thrown away) Then add the oil to melted bees wax and Shea butter, or any butter like that you prefer, but can just add to the wax only if you want.
Thanks! I'm glad to have this as I need to do this in a video pronto. So, it sounds just like my calendula balm method. I've temporarily lost my candle burner/warmer. But, hope it turns up soon. Here's the video I did in LA. LMK if you do anything differently. ua-cam.com/video/NiCp1EkfTj0/v-deo.html
Hi Kaye, I'm in Tennessee too, my yard has all those same weeds, lol! You have encouraged me to do some drying! I just don't like seeing those creepy crawling things if you know what I mean! 😊
Thank you for the video Kay. Could you do more of these & focus on identification & medicinal uses. It was difficult to see some of the plants you pointed out & the information on the medicinal qualities was somewhat lacking. Im fairly new to Tennessee & trying to learn what everything in my yard is. Blessings
Really good post, Kay. Thank you. The medicinals are so interesting. Do you know if the wild lettuce can be bought at Farmer's Market in the city? Thanks, Lynn
I've never seen it, but all my farmers market experience has been in CA. IDK about here. Seems it would wilt right away and be hard to sell. IDK. I have plenty. You in Middle TN?
Hi Kay @@Latebloomershow I'm in Nyc. We do you have Farmer's Markets. I have bought some different kinds of lettuces which I have bought. I am not sure if they were the wild medicinal lettuces or not. You do such good work. Thank you. All my best, Lynn in Nyc Keep the Ethical Light Burning, Kelb, Inc.
Just a bit of household peroxide in a sprayer with water will take care of the mildew right away. Start with quarter cup per gallon, up to half cup or more as needed.
Hi Kaye. Just stumbled on your post now. I love the way you manage your ecosystem. I'm trying to rearrange my yard. Your post is of very great hel.. Thank you!❤❤❤
Welcome! If you are new to my channel, I'm glad! I have a large canvas to work with here, as opposed to the first 8 years of my channel in Late Bloomer 1.0 tiny urban garden. I'm glad I gave you some ideas!
Thanks for a whole new list of medicinal plants to research. Living in the city, the weeds don't have a chance to grow with all the spraying/mowing constantly going on so you are very fortunate to be able to have access to such an abundance. Yes the warm weather is coming and can't wait to get my indoor plants outdoors. Of course there will be more challenges when that happens until harvest. Have a wonderful weekend my friend...
For art work, you can make a picture frame by pressing wild flowers between two glasses then seal it with solder iron. 😊. You are so knowledgeable with almost every plant.
Nut grass or nut sedge is also medicinal and edible. I have enjoyed the fruit (nut) my entire life and I’m 52 years young. I know that it is medicinally beneficial to men. That is all the knowledge I have about Nut Sedge, but I am of the mindset that we need to share the knowledge no matter how little we know it may be just enough to get the attention of someone who needs it and just doesn’t know it yet! Thank you for sharing your knowledge Mrs K. Have a great weekend and God bless.
I have to recommend the thornless blackberry Prime Arch 45 because the erect canes make it easy to pick and maintain. I trim the canes at six feet so the fruiting sideshoots will be produced at a reachable height. Lastly the french use chervil like parsley. Google says the Romans called myrrhis because its aroma is like myrrh.
@Latebloomershow I first bought the plant five years ago at Greenacres, but just saw it on Starks Brothers website. I love Starks Brothers because they track all the plants you buy from there and they are starting their $18 a tree sale.
The plant you pulled up is prickly lettuce both have same properties and used in the same way. If you can't find 1 you can use the other. You are after the white latex for pain. They are cousins in the plant family. The tincture and the body will love both plants.
Speedwell is a very old medicinal plant. Its also edible straight out of the ground. Lol It has a lovely fragrance while drying. Colds, congestion, sore throats, urinary tract issues. As topical, it's good for psoriasis and eczema.
I've got little spots here & there where I let the weeds grow, but I mow everything around the house & septic field to help keep the ticks down.. We've got 1/3 less lawn than we started with. We also got rid of a lot of junk pines near the house & given the last couple seasons of wind shears, it was a good idea given how many toppled in the neighbor's overgrown, forested area. We love the fleabane & so do the dogs because we've never had an issue with fleas, only a few ticks throughout the season though. The guineas took a lot of them out last year, so that's been great.
Definitely a great reason to keep guineas! I just can't keep up the garden, the house, the website, the channel and the house and the cats to take on more animals. Wish I could! So the fleabane keeps fleas away? I've kept it around the house. I hate ticks!
Nutgrass: you have to pull them out before they develop three leaves. By the time they have three leaves, the nut has developed. Also, if the version you have is sedgegrass, the nut is edible, I believe roasted.
PictureThis from the app store, but there are others now as well. It's changed my life! God bless you! We need to learn them now, in case we can't access the internet for whatever reason.
Kaye I love your nature preserve lol I grew up in a small village in Bavaria and still remember my Oma making a salve for bee stings and whatever … she is the reason I’m a gardener and take great pride in the medicinal plants that grow in my garden beds … I’m the one who harvests herbs in the wild that most think are weeds … I finally got plantain the TURKISH variety (HUGe)and trust me I will have it for life lol I freeze dry what I can as I do bee balm and Holy Tulsi and make salves and tinctures teas etc… all placed here for us to utilize … thank you for sharing … stay blessed and yes plantain is amazing for relief for poison ivy!!!
Wonderful! Where do you live now? I would love to make a video with you! What does the turkish variety look like?? Please email me at kaye at late bloomer show dot com.

So . . . Have you installed a Tornado shelter yet? Hey, remember my telling you back in the day to put a steer on that front yard? Well, maybe follow my lead and raise meat rabbits. Two does and one buck will produce approximately 300 pounds of meat annually. I've transitioned from beef to rabbits. Much, much easier on me @ 75 than cows (although I still have some).
@@Latebloomershow Still in Texas. I don't get out much. In fact, I bought a Ford F-150 a year ago this month and have logged a grand total of 4,000 miles on it so far. It's my only car, BTW. I've been welding (meat) rabbit hutches all day long.
Enjoyed the extensive tour of medical vs weeds. I also have most of those plus wild violets. This year a very short weed that looks like dead nettle is everywhere here. It might be the Asian one that wrecks the soil. That would just be my luck! It's all over the raised beds too! Can't really go assess today because it is storming but hopefully will be able to get things up easier after this rain.
I have a lot of nettle and plantain. I went out on my day off to harvest. All my nettle is covered in powdery mildew. It was beautiful just a few days ago. I still have a lot of plantain though. I can't harvest much right now, so I'm glad you told us that it keeps going. I need a lot of cilantro for canning later, and it's on sale lol. I need Dehydrator for that this week.
And last year, I moved some Sour grass(slender wood sorrel) to a half barrel planter. It's spread wonderfully. I've eaten this and loved it my whole life
Wow! I think I have seeds for that. You don't mean the tiny clover leaf do you? Yes, I got plants from Sharon, including nettle and mildew! So disappointing. Why are you dehydrating cilantro?? I'm sure I need to do that.
We have many of the same wild plants you have, Kaye! I have the Spiny Sow Thistle, too, but not the Wild Lettuce! Well, let me back up; I do, indeed, have Wild Lettuce, but it is FLORIDA BLUE Lettuce. How Florida lettuce go to Ohio, I don't know, but I dearly wish I could find the other kind! And we have both the narrow- and broad-leaf plantain varieties, but the broad-leaf one is what I use. I put a plantain poultice on my grandson's foot last summer after a bee sting, and he had no ill effects from the sting. Went on like nothing had happened. We have a huge colony of them, and my husband mows over them weekly, but I can still easily find whole leaves, because it grows low, but fast.
Love this video! Very helpful! I have a lot of fleabane in my yard, too... on my way to check out your fleabane video next! New Subbie! Great Content and you are adorable! Thank You and God Bless You :)
Kaye, the canes that do not have flowers could be last years canes that produced fruit or they could be your next years crop cane. Permacane is one of the names and primocane is the other. I get them mixed up. I just cut back the canes that are red in color because they are the ones that are done. Please do not be so afraid of a tick bite. The only time you need to panic is if you don't find it within 3 days. I am pulling ticks off of me and my dogs constantly. It is just important to check each evening before bedtime. Purple clover is good for hormonal imbalance. Your lawn looks lovely and very healthy!!! Lastly....all of your grasses and lettuces and "weeds" (I refuse to call them that) are edible to eat as a salad. You do not have to tincture everything.
Ah, you just mentioned chickweed😊. I like a little of it mixed in a fruit smoothie, gives a nice herbal flavor with the sweet taste. Your chickweed has much bigger leaves than mine though.
A couple years ago I collected tons of wild lettuce to make some of nature's morphine. I ingested gobs of the stuff and didn't feel a thing. I mean, like one Bufferin tablet gives more pain relief than that? I don't know. I never knew wild lettuce was for pain relief. It was just another wild green I always collected in the spring. Kaye, you better pick you a mess of them plantain greens and wild lettuce and make you a pot of greens. I use the Sam's Choice uncured turkey bacon from the Walmart to season my greens, and some beef tallow. Of course I spice them up too with some salt and pepper, a bit of onion, dash of garlic powder, and a few sliced up grape tomatoes for some color. I'll have them for breakfast with some soft boiled eggs. I always look forward to spring greens and boiled eggs. You got any Poke on your property? That big wild onion you got is awesome! Boy, I'd but cutting that and saving it for seasoning so many things. I love onions. I mainly eat red onions, but I loves some spring onions too cut up in some wilted lettuce salad. I hope you managed to have a little patch of grass for your grass man to cut. Maybe you should just sow a ton of wild flowers on your whole property and just have some nice nature paths cut through it. LOL The birds, bees, and butterflies would love you for it.
I have a couple of places that aren't cut, but they grow up so thick it seems snaky. Your spring greens sound great! I thought you weren't supposed to eat too much of the wild lettuce? Plus the sap is extremely bitter.
@@Latebloomershow I put the wild lettuce in the blender and then strained in a flour sack tea towel (like I do all my juices and when making cheese). The juice I put on very low heat so it didn't harm it, but let it evaporate down to thick dark stuff about like the consistency of apple butter. I don't know about eating too much wild lettuce. I have about half a cup portion to go with my three soft boiled eggs. BTW, I heard you talking about Arugula too. I put my arugula in the blender with a jalapeno, fresh lime juice, and some garlic and make a fermented green salsa that goes with everything. I put it on leaf Arugula salad as a dressing too. Can't get enough of that nitric oxide food at age 60.
I broke my shoulder in '17 and used poultices and internal homeopathic comfrey. When I broke my kneecap last year, I bought comfrey tincture from the Amish and used it for weeks.
Kay I have a good you tuber for you to watch. The honeystead. She has her own apothecary and makes a lot of tinctures. Very knowledgeable. On her page scroll down and she will show you how to make a wild lettuce tincture.
I have enjoyed your video. I have the last few years allowed my yard to flower with my weeds. I have a number of plants that you have mentioned. I weed wake around my neighbors yard fence so I do not offend them but I Keep my flowers, dandelions, etc... until they seed. Hate my poison ivy . When seen, I have to get it out because I forget where it is. I wonder if you could put a link to a phone app that I can trust. I would love to know what I have. Thank you again. God bless.
If you get stung by a bee/wasp, look for a piece of fresh plantain, immediately chew it up, spit it in your hand and put it on your sting, will take a away pain in a few seconds.
I have almost identical weeds aka medicinal plants in my yard, minus others you have. I haven't heard you mention wild carrot or chickweed but those are everywhere here as well as cleavers. Cleavers and wild carrot leave little velcro like balls all over your clothes and socks. They are the (flea)bane of my existence 😆
I’ve used many plant apps and they don’t seem to be very accurate. My friend’s app said spotted spurge was purslane! It doesn’t even look like that! Do you have one that really is accurate?
I use PictureThis. I look at the plants again and again, and if I think it's reading the photo wrong, I try another picture. I think so far it's been pretty accurate. It has a lot to do with the photo you take. I hope that's helpful.
Well, same for a field of heirloom corn. You till it, plant it and hope the corn outruns it. Start with a clean slate, scrape off all the existing weeds. Hopefully you have a field without the worst stuff. Plant it and hope it outruns. I learned this from my heirloom corn grower and grinder my first year. He said chemicals will kill heirloom grasses. Obviously, it is available to buy so farmers have found a way, but I assume it's this, till, plant, and hope it outgrows competing weeds. I'm growing this wheat for ground cover. Let me know how it goes! You can probably find videos on UA-cam on this. Blessings! I want to grow sorghum, but birds and deer are my concern.
Oh my, there must be a tincture or at least a water that you could make a scent from the petals. I would just do a search. I'm sure you will find the answer. Let me know! I used to love that growing up, but there isn't any here I don't think.
Kaye correct me i am wrong you dug down in the raised bed then showed to camera shot What you held in your hand Both hands were in shot ,,yet the shot zoomed in to your hands,,,,,,,,was someone else filming????? Ed
Where do you live? You could come and dig up as much as you want! Middle Tennessee. If close enough, send me an email. I must cut this down and get under control.
No, I don't have any stinging nettle. I wish I did. I bought a live plant last year from Sharon's Natural Gardens, but it never got planted in ground and died in the pot. IDK if it will come back this year. I use it to sting my arthritis on my hand. I know it is so good for you. I was told what I got rid of was also another wild lettuce.
I wouldn't. I would avoid anyplace that might have been sprayed. For seeds or plants. If you are in middle TN, make a plan to come here! I'm overrun and they must be cut.
Jesus Christ died for our Sins according to the scriptures and that he was Buried and that he Rose again the third day praise God praying for everyone everyday God Bless you all
The sticky, square stemmed plant whose name you forgot is called Cleavers. I have a nice crop of it growing through my Yarrow. It is supposed to be very medicinal, (although I forgot what for.) I also have many Wild Lettuces, I hope to make a tincture with it this year, time permitting. Thank you for your very interesting videos.
You may want to do some research on poisonous look alikes before trying any wild edible onion. There's a plant that looks like wild onions but it can harm you if you eat it.
I know there is the same thing with a carrot look-a-like. Poison Hemlock. I have a lot of that on the roadway. Last year we mowed it down and it's back.
Unsolicited advice is worth what you pay for it....but, my advice, determine a boundary for your a medicinal weeds to grow in, and mow ruthlessly outside of it. Otherwise you are setting up your garden beds for soon to be unmanageable with weeds everywhere. Like a good artist, you need to know when and where to stop or you'll ruin what you've worked hard to create.
So true! And I’m trying to get the mower back over here but he’s just covered up we’ve had so much rain that he only has a day here and there to do all of his yards and so now everything is all grown up! And I did do that last year I just had two areas but now they’ve exploded and there’s gonna smother out the plants that I put in there also.
I got lucky with this one. Since our deal is by the hour, and he's a hard worker, if I ask him to go around 100 plants he doesn't mind. He is not a plant person and would not know if I didn't point out what to save. He can recognize flowers and he goes around them, haha.

Still in Texas. I don't get out much. In fact, I bought a Ford F-150 a year ago this month and have logged a grand total of 4,000 miles on it so far. It's my only car, BTW.
I've been welding (meat) rabbit hutches all day long.
Enjoyed the extensive tour of medical vs weeds. I also have most of those plus wild violets. This year a very short weed that looks like dead nettle is everywhere here. It might be the Asian one that wrecks the soil. That would just be my luck! It's all over the raised beds too! Can't really go assess today because it is storming but hopefully will be able to get things up easier after this rain.
I hope it is not ground ivy! That's invasive to the max! Darrell has that.
You should get some little flags for places not to mow. It will also help you go right to what you need without having to look for it❤
I really need that. Where can you get those?
Thanks for sharing 😊
I have a lot of nettle and plantain. I went out on my day off to harvest. All my nettle is covered in powdery mildew. It was beautiful just a few days ago. I still have a lot of plantain though. I can't harvest much right now, so I'm glad you told us that it keeps going. I need a lot of cilantro for canning later, and it's on sale lol. I need Dehydrator for that this week.
I also think someone who luved here years ago, must have planted a lot of medicinals on purpose. I'm finding so many
And last year, I moved some Sour grass(slender wood sorrel) to a half barrel planter. It's spread wonderfully. I've eaten this and loved it my whole life
Wow! I think I have seeds for that. You don't mean the tiny clover leaf do you? Yes, I got plants from Sharon, including nettle and mildew! So disappointing. Why are you dehydrating cilantro?? I'm sure I need to do that.
Thank you for sharing ❤
You are welcome! Please share with a friend who might benefit.
I have all kind of medicine in my yard. I quit mowing so luch. I now have walk paths.
We have many of the same wild plants you have, Kaye! I have the Spiny Sow Thistle, too, but not the Wild Lettuce! Well, let me back up; I do, indeed, have Wild Lettuce, but it is FLORIDA BLUE Lettuce. How Florida lettuce go to Ohio, I don't know, but I dearly wish I could find the other kind! And we have both the narrow- and broad-leaf plantain varieties, but the broad-leaf one is what I use. I put a plantain poultice on my grandson's foot last summer after a bee sting, and he had no ill effects from the sting. Went on like nothing had happened. We have a huge colony of them, and my husband mows over them weekly, but I can still easily find whole leaves, because it grows low, but fast.
Love this video! Very helpful! I have a lot of fleabane in my yard, too... on my way to check out your fleabane video next! New Subbie! Great Content and you are adorable! Thank You and God Bless You :)
Wonderful and welcome!! Check out the medicinal plants playlist! Red clover, wild lettuce tinctures plus yarrow! ❤️
Kaye, the canes that do not have flowers could be last years canes that produced fruit or they could be your next years crop cane. Permacane is one of the names and primocane is the other. I get them mixed up. I just cut back the canes that are red in color because they are the ones that are done. Please do not be so afraid of a tick bite. The only time you need to panic is if you don't find it within 3 days. I am pulling ticks off of me and my dogs constantly. It is just important to check each evening before bedtime. Purple clover is good for hormonal imbalance. Your lawn looks lovely and very healthy!!! Lastly....all of your grasses and lettuces and "weeds" (I refuse to call them that) are edible to eat as a salad. You do not have to tincture everything.
I found cord salad in my side garden in today's video. I plan to do a part 2 to this video as there are many I missed.
Ah, you just mentioned chickweed😊. I like a little of it mixed in a fruit smoothie, gives a nice herbal flavor with the sweet taste. Your chickweed has much bigger leaves than mine though.
That's interesting! There are so many plants.
A couple years ago I collected tons of wild lettuce to make some of nature's morphine. I ingested gobs of the stuff and didn't feel a thing. I mean, like one Bufferin tablet gives more pain relief than that? I don't know. I never knew wild lettuce was for pain relief. It was just another wild green I always collected in the spring. Kaye, you better pick you a mess of them plantain greens and wild lettuce and make you a pot of greens. I use the Sam's Choice uncured turkey bacon from the Walmart to season my greens, and some beef tallow. Of course I spice them up too with some salt and pepper, a bit of onion, dash of garlic powder, and a few sliced up grape tomatoes for some color. I'll have them for breakfast with some soft boiled eggs. I always look forward to spring greens and boiled eggs. You got any Poke on your property? That big wild onion you got is awesome! Boy, I'd but cutting that and saving it for seasoning so many things. I love onions. I mainly eat red onions, but I loves some spring onions too cut up in some wilted lettuce salad. I hope you managed to have a little patch of grass for your grass man to cut. Maybe you should just sow a ton of wild flowers on your whole property and just have some nice nature paths cut through it. LOL The birds, bees, and butterflies would love you for it.
I have a couple of places that aren't cut, but they grow up so thick it seems snaky. Your spring greens sound great! I thought you weren't supposed to eat too much of the wild lettuce? Plus the sap is extremely bitter.
Did you make a tincture or boil it down to the brown tacky stuff?
@@Latebloomershow I put the wild lettuce in the blender and then strained in a flour sack tea towel (like I do all my juices and when making cheese). The juice I put on very low heat so it didn't harm it, but let it evaporate down to thick dark stuff about like the consistency of apple butter.
I don't know about eating too much wild lettuce. I have about half a cup portion to go with my three soft boiled eggs. BTW, I heard you talking about Arugula too. I put my arugula in the blender with a jalapeno, fresh lime juice, and some garlic and make a fermented green salsa that goes with everything. I put it on leaf Arugula salad as a dressing too. Can't get enough of that nitric oxide food at age 60.
@@Latebloomershow What kinda snaky's you got? Most we ever had was them old black snakes in Kentucky that are more afraid of you then them you.
Use comfrey for your knee. It will help with pain and healing...(You probably already are using it.)
I broke my shoulder in '17 and used poultices and internal homeopathic comfrey. When I broke my kneecap last year, I bought comfrey tincture from the Amish and used it for weeks.
@@Latebloomershow I just discovered how useful it is for general swelling and sprained ankles.
Kay I have a good you tuber for you to watch. The honeystead. She has her own apothecary and makes a lot of tinctures. Very knowledgeable. On her page scroll down and she will show you how to make a wild lettuce tincture.
I also have a wild lettuce tincture video. But, I am happy to check her out, thanks!
Clevers is also called Sticky Willy
Haha, it sure is sticky. I had a big clump by the door but two 80+ degree days and it dried to a shrivel this week.
I have enjoyed your video. I have the last few years allowed my yard to flower with my weeds. I have a number of plants that you have mentioned. I weed wake around my neighbors yard fence so I do not offend them but I Keep my flowers, dandelions, etc... until they seed. Hate my poison ivy . When seen, I have to get it out because I forget where it is. I wonder if you could put a link to a phone app that I can trust. I would love to know what I have. Thank you again. God bless.
I use PictureThis, and have been pleased. Your place sounds wonderful!
If you get stung by a bee/wasp, look for a piece of fresh plantain, immediately chew it up, spit it in your hand and put it on your sting, will take a away pain in a few seconds.
Why didn't I remember that today, haha. I have stinging ants everywhere.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! There are many more! Stay tuned for part 2!
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption praise God praying for everyone everyday God bless you all.
May I ask what app do you use for identifying the plants?
PictureThis has worked well for me!
I have almost identical weeds aka medicinal plants in my yard, minus others you have. I haven't heard you mention wild carrot or chickweed but those are everywhere here as well as cleavers. Cleavers and wild carrot leave little velcro like balls all over your clothes and socks. They are the (flea)bane of my existence 😆
I have the velcro balls! Some wild carrot is poisonous if ingested.
I’ve used many plant apps and they don’t seem to be very accurate. My friend’s app said spotted spurge was purslane! It doesn’t even look like that! Do you have one that really is accurate?
I use PictureThis. I look at the plants again and again, and if I think it's reading the photo wrong, I try another picture. I think so far it's been pretty accurate. It has a lot to do with the photo you take. I hope that's helpful.
What plant identifier App do you use?
PictureThis
Id like to know what identification app you have

I have always wanted to plant wheat or oats but how do you keep the weeds from choking out the crop without spraying?
Well, same for a field of heirloom corn. You till it, plant it and hope the corn outruns it. Start with a clean slate, scrape off all the existing weeds. Hopefully you have a field without the worst stuff. Plant it and hope it outruns. I learned this from my heirloom corn grower and grinder my first year. He said chemicals will kill heirloom grasses. Obviously, it is available to buy so farmers have found a way, but I assume it's this, till, plant, and hope it outgrows competing weeds. I'm growing this wheat for ground cover. Let me know how it goes! You can probably find videos on UA-cam on this. Blessings! I want to grow sorghum, but birds and deer are my concern.
Question. What plant app do you use Kaye?
PictureThis
@@Latebloomershow thanks Kaye. After i posted i found you had replied before. Sorry
What's the app you're using? Is it pretty reliable?
PictureThis Seems to be. If it isn't sure it will ask you to take another photo.
Super cool! Thanks!
Love ur vids, Ms. Kaye, ur beautiful! I have an abundance of honeysuckle here in Louisiana, what would u recommend? God Bless! ✝️
Oh my, there must be a tincture or at least a water that you could make a scent from the petals. I would just do a search. I'm sure you will find the answer. Let me know! I used to love that growing up, but there isn't any here I don't think.
Kaye correct me i am wrong
you dug down in the raised bed
then showed to camera shot
What you held in your hand
Both hands were in shot ,,yet the shot zoomed in to your hands,,,,,,,,was someone else filming????? Ed
Speedwell is a medicinal plant
Someone else said that as well.
What plant app do you use
PictureThis
i wonder if you could save me some of the wild lettuce seeds,
Where do you live? You could come and dig up as much as you want! Middle Tennessee. If close enough, send me an email. I must cut this down and get under control.
@@Latebloomershow i live in north carolina, i thought if i could find some seeds i could get some started. thanks for replying
How do you make the wild lettuce tincture?
ua-cam.com/video/upuiBBeg_io/v-deo.html
I heard snake root will keep snakes out of your garden
Have you thought about writing a book?
Yes, but the garden would have to go dormant for a year.
@@Latebloomershow 😂
You threw away the stinging nettle?? See Rain Country for the many uses.
No, I don't have any stinging nettle. I wish I did. I bought a live plant last year from Sharon's Natural Gardens, but it never got planted in ground and died in the pot. IDK if it will come back this year. I use it to sting my arthritis on my hand. I know it is so good for you. I was told what I got rid of was also another wild lettuce.
All mints have square stems, but not all square stems are mint.:)
Ah! Good point!!!
I guess you could get plants along the highway, only for seeds, not for eating.......or, is that ok??
I wouldn't. I would avoid anyplace that might have been sprayed. For seeds or plants. If you are in middle TN, make a plan to come here! I'm overrun and they must be cut.
Jesus Christ died for our Sins according to the scriptures and that he was Buried and that he Rose again the third day praise God praying for everyone everyday God Bless you all
Amen!
The sticky, square stemmed plant whose name you forgot is called Cleavers. I have a nice crop of it growing through my Yarrow. It is supposed to be very medicinal, (although I forgot what for.) I also have many Wild Lettuces, I hope to make a tincture with it this year, time permitting. Thank you for your very interesting videos.
My mint plants all died over the winter, 😰
I brought one pot of mint in. It looked horrible since January, but it has revived now outside.
You may want to do some research on poisonous look alikes before trying any wild edible onion. There's a plant that looks like wild onions but it can harm you if you eat it.
I know there is the same thing with a carrot look-a-like. Poison Hemlock. I have a lot of that on the roadway. Last year we mowed it down and it's back.
Tincture plantain
Any day now! Do you grind up the leaves, or just cut them or?
Unsolicited advice is worth what you pay for it....but, my advice, determine a boundary for your a medicinal weeds to grow in, and mow ruthlessly outside of it. Otherwise you are setting up your garden beds for soon to be unmanageable with weeds everywhere. Like a good artist, you need to know when and where to stop or you'll ruin what you've worked hard to create.
So true! And I’m trying to get the mower back over here but he’s just covered up we’ve had so much rain that he only has a day here and there to do all of his yards and so now everything is all grown up! And I did do that last year I just had two areas but now they’ve exploded and there’s gonna smother out the plants that I put in there also.
Had to fire my yard man. He has killed off way too many valuable plants without concern. Can't even figure how much $$$ he has cost me.
I got lucky with this one. Since our deal is by the hour, and he's a hard worker, if I ask him to go around 100 plants he doesn't mind. He is not a plant person and would not know if I didn't point out what to save. He can recognize flowers and he goes around them, haha.
