As I struggled with a problem in my life, a trusted friend gave me some perplexing advice. He said I just needed to "grow a pear." I thought, okay, I can do that. So, today I planted 3 pear trees. We'll see.
LOL! 😂 THAT'S a real gardener joke!
😂 😂
LOLOLOL
@@darrellluck7230 🤣 🤣 😂
Love it, lol! 😅
"We" is you and the cats... lol 😸😺😸thanks for showing them. ❤
Thank you!! And you are welcome!
One of my favorite teas is roasted dandelion root. My grandson even loves it. I put just a touch of honey in it.
"It tastes healthy." We all know what that means! 😂 Kaye, your videos are always a joy to watch.
LOL! I try to keep things humorous in a very unfunny time. Much love and gratitude for you. Please share. There are a ton of dandelion videos and it will never get seen unless folks like you share. Much love.
I love dandelion tea! Great video, thank you! Have a blessed day!❤
You, too! Thank you and please, please share.
@Latebloomershow thank you. Absolutely I will!
I remember my father being so angry with us as children because you know what children do with those little balls of “fluff” ?… they blow on them to watch the magical seeds flying through the air. I can remember being directed to walk across the street to blow them anywhere but on our own lawn. (Didn’t always work) … as an adult my Dad gave me a forked dandelion tool to remove dandelions, it worked great for many seasons. Sadly I didn’t learn what great benefits the dandelion provides us until after I’d already given up my house and moved into a condo. Thank you for another beautiful video Kaye! Xx…
Aw, didn't realize you were in a condo. ok, but I bet you can still find some.
@@Latebloomershow oh yes… there are many on the path of where I walk… I’ve picked the flower and munched on them during my walk, but didn’t know the real deal was with the root and greenery!
Hi Kaye! Dandelions show up in the Darndest places! If iberrr there I would gladly share a cup. God bless you this week!
Thank you! Always appreciated!
Good Morning Kaye - You have some seriously loud cicadas chirping away in today's video! Don't have any dandelion growing as the grass has dried up from lack of rain but I do have some tea I bought a while back. I wonder what roasting the roots does for the tea nutritionally or maybe just for color. Seems like most of us have been sweating to death this summer and appreciate your sacrifices in bring us this informative video. Have a blessed week my friend..
I know and I should have been wearing my mic but I went out with the intention of watering and saw those dandelions (which I had been contemplating filming) and made a U-turn, came in, put on makeup (didn't manage to brush my hair!!) and grabbed my camera. I'm so used to it, I don't pat attention when filming but when editing, I thought, wow, so loud it will bother some folks. Next time, I hope to be more prepared. Did the same thing last year the day I did my tomato varieties video and fell and broke kneecap. People mentioned how loug they were. Have a blessed week, too! God be with us in these perilous times.
@@Latebloomershow Was not bothered by it but beautiful country sounds - I miss the frogs and crickets too living in the city.
We too here in Maryland had dead, brown grass for much of the summer… the area has contract landscaping and they had not cut the grass, not just in my development but most of the entire city as the grass was so far gone almost all summer, maybe since the first week in June. I’m thankful we had the storm Debby come through because enough rain fell to make the grass green again. Our grass now looks pretty close to what I would expect any other year (color wise) and just this morning I heard the roar of lawnmowers. May your area be blessed with some rain soon!✌🏻
The day when I saw this video online I just came home from my garden with some dandelions that I've pulled out of a container with tomatoes. The leaves we ate in an omelette and with the roots we're going to follow your recipe. Have a wonderful day Kaye. Greetings Heidi 👩🌾💕
That is awesome! Mine was so bitter, inedible! Glad yours was good.
Reay good, informative video. Thank you, for sharing this with us. It's been really hot here in Texas! Every day i come inside soaked with sweat after taking care of the animals. We are so ready for fall! 🍁🍂. God bless and keep you.
Right?? I'm so ready and garden is not done. But 10 more days with no rain could be the end of it if I don't get out and water. Last year I'm doing the big garden without soaker hoses.
Thanks Kaye you are an inspiration to all.
Wow, thank you!
Cool .. I love TN… fantastic weather 95 of the time & I love ti cook their corn bread!
I'll be making plenty of cornbread in the fall! Thank you for watching! Please share!
Thanks for sharing!
Great video!
I so look forward to my Late Bloomer!
Wonderful!! Please share. Utube not recommending and I'm losing hope. Thank you!!
@@Latebloomershow Well, WHO are they to act that way!??
I love dandelions. I learned a lot today. Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Please share! There are a million dandelion videos and I need help getting it seen. Thanks in advance!
Excellent information, Kaye! Love this!
Thanks so much!
I found that harvesting dandelion root is easier right after a frost in early fall. Dehydrated it lasts for a very long time. It's best to chop or grind as needed. I love eating the young leaves and making jelly from the flowers, but jelly lasts, so about every 2-3 years, I make more
I will try and remember to do that. want you to inspire me to do the same this spring! When you dehydrate, how do you even out the size of pieces. When I roasted, the larger pieces were soft and the skinny pieces were nearly burned. The whole smelled for a bit, haha.
@Latebloomershow I haven't roasted them yet. But I suppose I would chop them in as even as possible pieces. But I've only dehydrated them raw without washing. Just brush off because there's enzymes in the dirt. (Of course without any pesticides, etc)
An old man shared his secrets with my closest friend. You can use a coffee grinder to grind the dried roots. He sprinkled over his foods, but it can be painstakingly put in capsules, too. He cured himself of the 'C' in his pr*$tate. Lived a long life after. Dandelion is alkaline. 🌼
Yesterday i revamped my garden here in So Cal and i was drenched with sweat when i was done 🔥.But so worth it 👍
Wonderful!! How's it going over there?
@@Latebloomershow nice and hot here as well. I just saw a video about how bad Santa Monica has become. So sad 😢. We used to go to Santa Monica all summer back in the day when we were young 🏖️. Now we stay away because of the homeless. Our New Mayor, even though shes a democrat has cleaned up a lot of the homeless in the SFValley. I understand they are bringing the Olympics to the Sepulveda basin in 2028 😩🤦. Ill have nothing to do with that! Hopefully we will be in another state by then
'It tastes healthy" Hahaha Thank you for showing. I am hoping to try this next year.
Wonderful! You probably have roots right now you could dig up.
Good video, Kaye! I keep meaning to dig up all this dandelion and roast the roots for tea! I do use the leaves in Spring in my salads. Meanwhile, I buy the organic tea bags at Kroger.
Sounds great!
I have served fried dandelion blossoms for my family. They remind us if fried okra.
YUM
Thank you Kaye.
You are welcome! How's life going? The care giving? I came close to trying to bring my mother here, but every time I think about it, I manage to hurt myself, which I guess is God telling me no.
Kaye it is going pretty well. This September will be our 17th year as careproviders. I unfortunately am still dealing with long covid symptoms. It is crazy. This is now been going on 21/2 years. Dizziness and nausea and my ears ring. Some days are better than others. Love your youtube videos. Thank you for all the work you put into them. I had high hopes of planting some things in my green stock planter. Just not up to it yet.😒
As far as taking care of your mom. You maybe right about God saying no. It is alot of work. She may need to be watched 24/7. As we age we do need to make sure we stay healthy. I will continue to pray for you.🙏 Thank you Kaye for asking. You are so sweet.
I am enjoying the hummingbirds. Love putting out the feeders and watching them outside my window. Seems to always warms my heart and brings smiles❤️ I am so blessed with a amazing husband. He is such a blessing! We careprovide together. I know it would feel like a lot more work if it was just myself.
I'm canning chicken breast this afternoon! Have a beautiful day!
I wish you were here to give me courage to get out the pressure canner. I hope to do that with ground beef when it's a bit cooler.
@@Latebloomershow get you an electric canner. They don't heat up your kitchen and they are crazy easy to use. I wish I would have had one years ago. The only diwn size is you can only do 4-5 quarts at a time. They are just soooo nice. I have 10lbs of ground hamburger to do next. Probably tomorrow
I had fresh ginger to my dandelion tea, also make tinture
Excellent!
I purposely planted a couple dandelions in one of my blueberry pots last fall and this year I'm getting at least 3 times the berries I've ever had. Could be coincidence, I can't prove it helped. I'd heard that they bring nutrients down to the roots of other plants, like comfrey does, is why I put it there. I'm going to do the same for other plants and I'll know next year if it's just a myth.
Wow! Great to know!!!
I enjoyed this! Will have to try making the tea. My lemon grass went crazy this year - hope yours that I sent you a year or so ago is still doing ok for you! Angie in Charleston
Angie, I'm SOOO glad you commented. I can't remember everyone's name from year to year unless I hear regularly. The other day, I said I must go through all the cards I've received and try and find your name and #. It is great, should have been potted up, have to keep in a tray with water during all this heat with shade in afternoon or it will shrivel. What should I do now? I don't want to bring big plants in the garage this winter but I don't want it to die. If you have my number or email, please contact. xxx
@@Latebloomershow Hi Kaye. We are heading out for dinner but tomorrow morning I’ll send you an email with what I did this year with my lemongrass and it worked! It prevented me from having to bring the big plants inside.
@@Latebloomershow hi again. Just letting you know I sent an email this morning re the lemongrass.
This is a great video!
Glad you think so!
Please share.
My neighbor is a renter. They don’t keep up with the yard and the entire front & side yards are covered with dandilions! He just mowed it down.
Ah! WEll, the roots are still there, so ask if you can dig some up before they mow again IF they don't put any chemicals on the grass.
Thank you. Great information.
You're welcome! and please, please share. There are a ton of dandelion videos and it will never get seen unless folks like you share. Much love.
herbal books and channels always say "consult your dr" but doctors havent a clue about herbs or herbal medicine.
We have to say that. I know. All they know is $$$
❤❤❤
Making ice from it too for teas
Great idea! Now if I only had an icemaker that works, or room for trays!
I'm curious but do you have room for a greenhouse on your property?
I'm on a hill, no flat ground enywhere, so it would be tough. I need one badly.
@Latebloomershow I've often thought your side garden might make a good spot for a greenhouse. Then it would be easier access and you could grow greens and maybe even tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. most of the year. I'd even donate to your project.
You can buy a bag of Ladybugs and let them go in your greenroom or house and they will solve your pest problem.
I've never tried buying them in dead of winter. Tons of ladybugs come into the garage for winter, but by Feb. they are all dead just when the aphids appear.
So Kaye why are you wearing such a hot shirt if it is so hot and humid?
The shirt protects her from the sun and skin cancer .❤
Jen is right, but in truth I went out yesterday to water in the garden, and ticks and chiggers are still bad. I had a minute one on me in the LR today! IDK if it was from Patch who was on my lap or when I went out briefly. Anyway, I walked out the back door and saw those dandelions there and did a U turn, came in put on makeup and grabbed my camera. Otherwise I should have had on a LB T-shirt, however, I would have still been soaked.
You got some really good roots, a wonderful medical benefit. @darrellluck7230 LOL on the pear trees, my advice is if it goes into the ground, it better earn it keep! We planted a bunch of trees to also create a barrier for the walking path behind out home. Kaye if you get more dandelion infuse some in oil and make a salve too!
I'll call for details. I would like to.
