I've subsribed!! Great Tips... Synopsis: - Sorrel - Evening Primrose (harvest in spring) - Oregano - Rosemary - green onion (cut come again - don't take the main leaf- stop in June) - chives - Walking Onion - Egypt (July & August Harvest) - dandelion - is sweet before the flower shoots out. Powder the root and it will be a coffee drink but non caffeine - when flowers are fresh pick'em & stuff as many into a jar as you can fill with water and rest 24hrs - strain add some sugar and boil to reduce water = dandelion honey ❤ - chicory root - comfrey - kale & lettuce - stinging nettle (cut it back & steep it, arthritis cure ) - wormwood (tinctures & bug repellent) - Curly Dock ( little bitter to eat / rub on beestings - pain gone in 30 seconds) - lemon balm - mint - Rhubarb (cleans arteries)

Now this is the kind of garden video worth watching, one where you actually learn something. Many of us are in the learning stages and even though we may already have some knowledge, you’ve given my husband and I more tips and tricks. These days it’s extremely important to educate ourselves on home gardening and stay away from the grocery store food as much as possible.

I have about 50 billion dandelions on my property (maybe more!). I tried the dandelion "coffee" for the first time this year. It's delicious. I heard that cleavers (sticky willies) have caffeine, apparently you roast the seeds!! I also have lots of that. I'm in N Germany and similar climate to you, bit warmer this year I think. There's a kind of tea bush that has caffeine and will grow in my climate, but it's really hard to get. I'm on the waiting list in one place. I have the knack of getting nettles without gloves. Grab stem from underneath. I have plenty on my land, in fact I'll be trying to get some up in my new garden area I'm starting this year in my super sunny corner of my field. I would love some Walking onions... I have some dock growing in my pathway next to my pak choy. I've left it, because it has been ravaged by some bug or other ... But my pak choy, and the field beans opposite are untouched! I like letting Nature do its thing!

Nettles spread easily. Be careful where you put them in the garden. We harvest heavily to keep them in check. Dock is great if you have it available all over the place. So with the dandelion coffee, did you roast and then grind the roots?

I'm in zone 5a and grow perennial tubers for survival sustenance. Skirrett is the most delicious root crop ive ever tasted, and the first year expect maybe 5-10 offsets per mother plant, so you quickly can get many beds going in only 1-2 years. Red and black courrants (after 5 years) and rhubarb gives a wonderful juice with huge amounts of vitamin C. Orange daylilly tubers are loaded with stored energy, you dont need to eat many. Jerusalem artichokes are absolutely delicious crunchy pickles brined for 1-2 weeks (1 tablespoon salt in canning jar of tubers) and the enzymes do the predigestion and if fermented long enough it loses the fartyness, youll be able to tell :). There is so much more to learn. Nodding onion and wild ramp like being in the woods. Blazing star and camassia quamash are great dividers, they were used by the indians as a food source. Forage for solomons seal in the woods, you can break the root in half and replant it and keep the larger half so you dont diminish your food supply. Garlic is just great also, potatoes are great, you can leave them in the ground, and no matter how well I harvest them, I get volunteers next year. Pokeweed leaves/stalks when young are one of my favorite foodsources, just as good as asparagus which absolutely needs full sun; pokeweed does not.

An easy and great way to eliminate ' fartyness' is to cook with Aesofotedia ..available at your local India grocery store. It does smell odd when uncooked, but when cooked has a delicious shallots plus garlic flavor. You need just 1/4 tsp or so. Put it in the oil before sauting whatever you r cooking. Healthy too. I lived in zone 5a and Solomon Seal were always random. I cd never get to transplant them. I love the Burdock. And how their leaves turn upwards before the rain.

I'm new to your channel and glad that I've found it. I'm a city dweller right now and finishing up a long career but i have lots of relatives that are mostly rural and have had the privilege of growing their own foods. My mistake is that I felt that there would be no way for me to grow most of what I eat so year to year i would try growing a handful of things like, tomatoes, pickles, cucumber, Brussel sprouts, zucchini, peppers red and green, onions, jalapeños, green onions, carrots and the list goes on. Not all at once just a few each year and some of those that I mentioned didn't do well at all. I didn't let that stop me and i hope to someday soon move to a location where I have a little more space and resources (like neighbors such as yourself that have an abundance of knowledge on how to grow) I enjoyed your video and information as well as the encouragement.

You’re right. Fall, yes. Or early spring before they bud out to flower. In the fall, they’re probably fresher and better than in the early spring. However,, sometimes roots are sweeter because of the cold winter, but I don’t know if that applies to dandelions it applies to things like carrots.

I think curly Doc is a companion to stinging nettle. Once I got into stinging nettle in France and the woman grabbed Doc and rubbed it on and the stinging stopped immediately

@@WillowsGreenPermaculture I don’t think so, as it just comes up like a perennial every year in the same place. It tastes the same though as the kind from seed. I just never had good luck with the seed kind.

I live in Alberta and I’m just starting my permaculture gardens around a farm we’ve inherited. I’m finding that it’s extremely difficult to find many perennial plants which are known to be beneficial. Sunchoke, horse radish and Egyptian Onion. All very difficult to source. On the positive side, there’s a business opportunity out there! Thanks for the info! My list is growing exponentially ☺️

A subscriber told me Mapple Farm in New Brunswick sells them. The mini onions could probably be sent by mail. I suppose I could do the same. Ours are ready in August. Contact me then if you haven't found someone. I first got mine from a friend. Are you part of any local gardening social networks. There might be a gardener close to you who has them, the sunchokes, horse radish and so much else. Also, try to search for native plant nurseries in Alberta. They will have the native fruiting plantings that would do well in Alberta, for example.

Have you tried to harvest the onions, cutting the bulb off, leaving 0,5cm of the bulb and the roots in the ground. They regrow with 3-5 thinner stems that can be harvested again.

Boiling sting nettle takes the sting out? I boiled and poured off the water of polk salad 3 times but never ate stinging nettle, just always tried to stay away from it when riding horses in pastures lol!

When my daughter was 5 years old, biking with me along a trail, she biked right into a thicket of stinging nettle. Got it all over her legs and arms. Luckily there was a huge burdock plant next to it (which is often the case). I grabbed a couple of leaves, and rubbed all the areas down, and she was better in less than a minute, but she was crying with pain when it happened.

I'd like to take a closer look at the plants to recognize them, I think ignorantly we stomp on some of them and don't take advantage of them

Chives would do nicely in your food forest. Once they bloom the green becomes like a stalk and not easily eaten. The chive blossoms are very tasty in salads or sprinkled over soups. Un

I am building a heritage garden and i can already tell you need to be careful about introducing any plants that spread readily. At the same time thesr are going to be some of the highest yeild plants you can have. It is a balance shifted by the amount of caretaking you are willing and able to do.

@WillowsGreenPermaculture

25 күн бұрын

That’s right. However, even if you don’t put in a fast spreader, nature will put one in for you. So one way or another, there’s caretaking to do. The thing that makes it easier is when you find uses for almost everything that grows!

Love your information on sorrel! I have been hunting it in ontario forever, and at grocery stores, they dont even know what im talking about. I am also in Ontario - Burlington. Do you hqve any advice where i could get sorrel seeds, so i could start growing it, please? Much appreciated ❤
