Always a joy to see a video in my feed from this channel. Ps.. the book is absolutely amazing, full of lost knowledge in this pharmaceutical world we all find ourselves in.
I got a bunch of mint from the food pantry. I trimmed the bottoms and put them in water. They rooted and now I have a pot of mint growing in my medicinal container garden too.
I bought your book "Knowledge to Forage" and I love it:) The balance of practical advice and historical and mythical folklore is fascinating. You really did your homework, well done you guys!
All my family think I’m crazy for getting all chemicals off my land and growing in a sustainable way and ha my garden is smaller and out does there I love learning of our natural plants more
Haha! that goes for my Neighbours who enjoy spraying chemicals, and mowing grass 3 times a week. invasive herbs are coming to mine gradually, like dandelion, purple deed needle, water mint , clovers, chickweed, duck, fleabane etc. since I moved because I don't spray nothing , Only wish I do not live in community at the moment.
Congradulations on your second book . Mint is an amazing plant and is super easy for anyone to grow even in a pot on a city flat window .i am fortunate to have a place that I can encourage nature to provide an abundance of healthy foods and medicines. I sometimes have visitors that i walk the land with that show me new plants to add to my knowledge. I love the folklore especially this one i shall remember her each time i see or use mint .thank you for sharing
I just found your channel and wow you are an amazing historian and story teller. Your energy is absolutely delightful!!! I never knew the story of Menthe!!!
Magnificent mint! Talking of teas, try a Rosemary/Lemon Balm mix. I do 1 to 1 ratio. Friends have found it heavenly, and I love the medicinal value. Bless you and your upbeat spirit!
Should warn people!, ..I bought one small mint plant from the grocery store garden center, and now I'm having to deal with it taking over the garden! Maybe I should do as one woman commented and put it in a pot because of that. On the other hand, I feel that the mint I have in my combo tea really seems to open up my lungs, so that I'm not breathing as shallowly as I used to. : )
Cut long stems bind together with string,hang up to dry naturally,keep in airtight jar or little cardboard box then yourl always have it to hand :) mix with vinegar for mint sauce,herbal tea with dried lemon etc
No offense, but it kinda sounds like you just need to harvest it more often. Abundance is a blessing, if you let it be. Share it with friends and neighbors, if you have "too much". I hear there are recipes for mint jelly, which is common to eat with lamb. There's always drying it out for tea, too. Hope you and others find these suggestions helpful. ✌️
@@deemushroomguy well, for me anyways, it's not so much about harvesting the mint leaves as it is that the roots of the plant keep spreading, and popping up in new places. So I have to keep pulling the new plant roots out or it will spread even more.
@@janaparkesart yeah, but keeping a low, minty ground cover can be beneficial to the garden. Keeps down the rodent issues and ants. Both hate mint. A side-benefit is that it aids in the control of aphids, as ants "farm" the aphids for the "honeydew" excrement they produce.
@@deemushroomguy I think you're making some assumptions there in trying to make your point, because it's not a low minty cover as the mint plants are between 1' to 2' high, and as the roots and it keep spreading, it's invading, crowding out and taking over my strawberries, Shasta daisies and lavender, etc. So, I have to keep pulling out the new plant roots to stop it from doing that.
I have the same type of apple/ pineapple mint grow wildly in my garden. Abundant of them, my daughter likes to dip them in the melted chocolate, I dried them for tea, eat them fresh in the salad, mix them with watermelon, and use them foe all kinds of soup. Our favorite is shiitake mint egg drop soup.
This plant came to me 10 years ago. It just grow in my garden, and I notice that it smell so fresh with sweet mint . since then I being using it with my teas and in summer time I just add a few leaves in my water and tastes solo good.
We always had a growth of applemint in whichever house we lived in, when I was growing up. Whenever we had new potatoes (at least every Sunday lunch), we always put a few sprigs of the mint into the boil...and not only did it add flavour to the potatoes; it also fragranced the house whilst we were cooking with it...!!! 😉👍
I love the folklore you added to this knowledge filled video about one of my favorite herbs. I have just began harvesting mint and lemon balm this yr. I am beginning to learn about other medicinals and edibles growing around my house here in southeastern Virginia. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in a beautiful way. I love the gravel rd you were on, the plants growing wildly all around you, and your handsome jacket.
It's not always that easy. Rural area here, but we are covered in snow for a good part of the year. Still considered a "food desert". 🤷😞 Try what you can in flower pots and such. There are books on urban foraging, too. Probably UA-cam channels as well. 😉 Every little step will make it better than before. 😊👍
@@thekingsdaughter4233 i have built a polly tunnel so i want to get some natural plants that can thrive i also built large boxes where i put earth in them with thick treated of wood . it is a large tunnel so i will be looking at plants to grow so ibe watching some more of your videos to see what the best plants to grow . we do have a small forest at the back where foxes live and 2 owls so i will without disturbing them look for plants.
Mint grows like a weed! No skills or special conditions are required. Just get a pot and grow your mint 😂. I have one in the garden and it is crazy expansive!
@@dorotaroter2285 i would like to try planting burdock root ,we get dandelions so you must know where i am going with this. also i have produced pepper and chills ,also tomatoes . due to the polly tunnel new etc want to try cucumber and salads and mint and other herbs i have purchased a book two years ago if i knew the channel written a book i would have had theirs . but as i have projects in the pipeline i will wait a bit then buy a copy of theirs .
I just finish sending my comment that rhis mint is the sweet smell and you mention the story. I love your videos because you always add a leyend to it.
Tried the Purple Dead Nettle today in boiled water , tasted a bit like soil , although I thought of it's benefits . Mint is another natural Herb that I'm trying to propagate .
Come across your channel and love the content you do. I tink is really important to pass the knowledge of plants and the benefits they provide true generations. I wonder if i could find your book in Romanian Language as well. Your doing an amazing job! Congrats!🎉
I bought an apple mint at a greenhouse a couple of years ago. It grows really well! However, I bought a strawberry mint too and i love that one better and it doesnt grow as well. 😂
Hi lovelies! I really LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel. It's one of the most informative channels out there on UA-cam. I use your recipes very frequently and it has taught me the ways of foraging + processing foraged foods. Also, your passion for wild foraging really shines through. This is why I bought your first book on Amazon. I'm from the Netherlands and I hope to enjoy some of your stinging nettle recipes this week. I'll also try to forage some wild mint, when I find it. Keep on the good work! ❤
I hope your wife won’t be jealous with the mint . The way you talk about mint make me laugh in a good way . If everyone in his planet is as fascinating as you lon what they do they all make it . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Half assed crossed this channel , as a scientist interested me , i love mint . Amazing thing, i admire trebor mints peppermint and spearmint never had wild mint before would love that .

Thank you Michael 🙂
I agree; & there’s something about your energy that it brings me back to to the joy of being right there out in nature amidst those nutritive vibes.
It's in the woods where I find my peace. I'm not as relaxed or happy in the city! 🤣
Always a joy to see a video in my feed from this channel.

Gonna try that tea. I have chocolate mint growing on one side of the house.
Chocolate Mint is also very nice 🙂
It helps my daughter's upset stomach. I just go out to the yard and pick enough for one cup. She also likes the flavor ❤
Our kids also enjoy its flavour 🙂
You’re a breath of fresh air! Great passion and energy!

Those mint plants look very healthy. Great job!
I have like 15 mint varieties and this is the one that I love to the most. For its mild mint flavor and sweet smell.
Your enthusiasm and knowledge is so refreshing!

I have always loved mint. It grew wild in our backyard near the place my Dad made a heart in cement with the words Daddy loves Mommy. 💚
A lovely creation 💚
Aw.....so sweet.. blessings to you 💗
The information that you give us through your channel is wonderful and the folklore and poetry is just the icing and the cherry on top 👍🏴
Love it!
It's one of the elements in my med cabinet, so many uses 🎉
loving the joy that you convey
Love the way that rhymes!
Where I come from in Yorkshire , apple mint was known locally as pig’s ear mint.
Brilliant, absolutely love your infectious enthusiasm ❤
Great ..... and love your enthusiasm. Brilliant.

Tried the Purple Dead Nettle today in boiled water , tasted a bit like soil , although I thought of it's benefits .
Mint is another natural Herb that I'm trying to propagate .
Mint and dead nettle could mix well together as tea ☕
