Sabbath Garden Day 105 | Volunteer Plants Growing

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- It's Day 105 of my garden's sabbath year. Time for an update. Many have asked what plants have volunteered so I will be giving you an update on that and harvesting some herbs along the way. Yeah I am ok to just mow the weeds at this point and let the garden have a true rest. I am telling myself it's good nitrogen to feed the soil and we will try to manage this using another method come fall.

Those leaves are a little big now, but when the poke first starts, harvest the young leaves and cook them like spinach. We wash them, boil then pour that off, then cook them like we do spinach with scrambled eggs.
Oregano has helped me get control of athletes foot.
Everything looks lovely. Enjoying your peace and tranquility is more important.
The garden looks great! We eat the horseradish leaves like spinach greens. absolutely delish!
I heard borage tastes like cucumber. You can eat it fresh (I’m pretty sure I’m thinking if borage).
I finally got tired of the weed and grass pressure in my garden and put weed cloth over everything. If you watch Living Traditions Homestead they do that and I am so glad I did! I have just a few spots where the weeds come up at the corners of my raised beds and a few grasses I pull from under my tomatoes and that’s it! I will never look back. If you don’t like the look of the weed cloth, you can put wood chips over it in the pathways. I will remove it this fall when I put my garden to bed for the winter because I rotate where I plant every year and I will amend the soil then. It makes gardening so much more pleasurable.
Just a side note, I've joined and i have a post hole digger So you can use mine. I live in Melbourne Australia, Hope to see you soon. Alf😜😜😜
Live in Alaska I’m canning green beans I enjoy your youtube
I’m surprised you don’t have a ton of birds hitting those mulberries in the yard/tree!!
You have the best porch ever, I love it.
I too am going through the female change. I've suffered for years with hot flashes and night sweats. Recently I add 1 cinnamon and 1 turmeric capsule to my daily vitamin regiment and it has been a game changer for me.

Oregano has fantastic antiseptic properties. I use oregano oil when I have a cold or sore throat.
I loved that you grew all the flowers & herbs on the outside of your veggie garden, I'm working on it now my self, 1 thing I learned with my herb garden is you really want to leave lots of space cuz plants grow so fast & big.
✈️ Todd plane counting🤣. I've been anticipating this update so much. I'm shocked you don't have volunteer tomatoes everywhere. My tomatoes are on the back of the property but today I was pulling seedlings from the front flower beds 😁 So good to know about the oregano treatment. I have to start utilizing my herbs more. Thank you for touring your Sabbath garden.
I think your garden looks BEAUTIFUL for “letting it go.” It could be worse and be full of burdock, crab grass, pigweed, water weed and creeping Charlie, 😳🤪 like mine would be if I took a year off. You have some good stuff to use there and BEAUTIFUL flowers. I am trying to plant a medicinal garden, I have “dead nettle”, Chamomile, echinacea, lemon balm, and most the usual herbs. I also have a lot of things I wild harvest for tinctures etc. I’m running out of room, unless I start taking over the pasture and the hay ground🤣 Glad you are getting some rest, it is well deserved🥰
I kind of took a rest year too, with a long hike and I really miss the anticipation of harvesting some delicious veggies and herbs. The longer you have to wait, the more you cherish it and in that sense, think about the deliciousness of next year. Your are going to love it twice as much, just as I will
Hi Rachel it's Rochelle. Thanks for showing us around. Your herbs and flowers look so nice. Our summer garden is over and the next couple of months we will let it rest. It was 108 yesterday and the same today and two weeks out it's going to be hot. 🥵 Good to see you, blessings. Rochelle
I moved into a new house and the builders had landscaped with big herb plants in my font garden. I have a border with mint, rosemary and sage. It looks so pretty and I can cook with it too.
I would get the mint into pots or it will take over and push all the other stuff out.
@@DragonflyenAmber it’s ok, been 5 years and the sage is taking over more than the mint.
Looks fun to walk around gathering all your goodies❤
Thank you. This was such a fun video for me to watch. I am also experiencing a lot of peace. God bless you!
Thank you for the lemon verbena blueberry and mint idea. I have been making your strawberry lemon balm basil tea for the last 10 days and it is delicious. Especially after coming in from the garden after working a few hours in the heat. Had to comment before I got too far into your video just in case I would forget.
Oh wow, are you guys in the take off or landing path of DTW? We are the Pontiac take off path, so I feel ya. LOL
I ordered the recovery sandals you recommended. My feet got much worse immediately. I received a message and refund from amazon saying they were counterfeit and to throw them away.
I enjoyed seeing all your plants. You answered a question I had. First time having success growing echinacea and wasn’t sure if I should deadhead to promote more flowers and you answered that for me. Thanks for the tour.😘❤🙏🏻✨
Love your gardens, thank you for sharing.
You can actually eat Pokeweed. Look into it. It's a lot like kale/collards/turnip greens. You do have to do a bit to it but it's eatable. Plantain is eatable, also. Check out the mugwort, too. I love your gardens.
“volunteer plants” growing because G-d provides or they are plants that you were smart enough to just “let go” of and let them do what they are supposed to do when you are brave enough to have a sabbatical year which is only done in Israel - you did the strawberry tea when you were going fishing and I’m totally going to do that this year with my 4 new strawberry plants 😊- I’m not even going there with the “being 55 years old” mamma drama
Great video
❤
Lemon balm and the lemon verbena plants look so similar , how do you tell them apart
Where do u get all ur glasses? I love them!
Lens Crafters
How to make your bug spray please
There’s a link in the show notes to the post
Where can I get lemon verbena seeds from?
Im going to ask again.
What does a sabbath garden mean
Every 7th year you let the land rest. You do not plant anything that year.
@@kittyrichards9915 Thank you. I've never heard of that before.
Hot flashed are just gross, not cold hot cold, sweater on, sweater off, why ? Isn't i th the enough that we bleed, every month, get pms, cramps, irritability, carry a kid for nine months, deliver it, only to get hot flashes, for years after all thay, it's tough being a woman...😊😊
I’ve been waiting for this video! So curious to observe your resting garden!
How did you cook it? Boiled or pan fried?
My dad said why plant something you can't eat. Enjoy your videos very much 😊. Love from Virginia
Oh good! I found your bug spray recipe from a couple of years ago, and i wondered if it was still your go-to recipe. I bought witch hazel!
So many sunflowers 🌻
I did expect you to have loads of self seeded tomatoes in the same place as last years.
Blueberry leaves have more antioxidants in them than the berries. We use them in our teas
I never knew. Thankyou!
Could you please tag the video for your bug spray??? Mosquitoes in Florida are awful!! Would love to make some and try it. Thank you.
awesome post!! Thanks so much. I'm thoroughly enjoying this "off" year from the garden with you and your sweetheart. xo
I’d let the chickens loose in there and let them clean it up and fertilize! Just protect your perennials.
MIlkweed is what Monarch caterpillars eat. That one looks like a common milkweed.
I have been pulling out plants that are not edible and replacing with edibles the past 3 years. Lots more work to do!!
Hi from uk
Really enjoyed ur vidio
What a lovely gardrn and home the garden seems to get lovliet every timr i see it .
Thankd for taking us with u
I thought about you over the weekend, I live in Manitowoc WI, and it's been so dry here no rain at all we have only mowed our lawn 2 times since April. I was telling my husband that you picked a good year to do the sabbath rest for your garden since there is no rain.
My husband at first thought you and I were both crazy and said it doesn't say anything like that in the Bible (he went to a parochial school, and I didn't) so I pulled out my Bible (which I've been studying in the Old Testament) and showed him where it stated that. He said I should continue to you watch you since I'm learning so much
So thank you
Which chapter/verse is it found please? I am a gardener who hasn't lived somewhere long enough to rest a garden, sadly. I love the concept!🌻
Wouldn't it be nice to put up a temporary chicken fence underneath the mulberry tree so your chickens could eat all the fallen fruits?
Would you share the recipe for the tenture he used on his poison ivy? I would sure love to try and make some….tia.
Can you share how you make tinctures? Very interested in that
Rachel, I have never heard of oregano being good for poison ivy! Thank you SOSO much for sharing this! My son is ALSO highly allergic to poison ivy! The only thing I have ever found that works instantly is 20 minute Epsom Salt bath soaks, but oregano would be a great substitute when I cannot find epsom salt which I have ran into several times. Thank you for sharing your tips I appreciate you! God bless and have a great evening!❤
Airplane counting… hilarious 😂
I add blue borage to salads and coleslaw (sliced thin)
Let the chickens in to weed the garden as well as clean up all the mulberries! 🥰
Delphinium! Thank you Rachel for the relaxing beautiful tour. Your both are a blessing.
ill take all the free food we got 4 free yellow tomato plants
I went thru the change without one hot flash...never did figure out what I was doing differently?
Milkweed. Delphinium. 🌺
I’m growing borage for the first time. I’d like to know what else I can do with it. I planted as a pollinator.
Rachel, pokeweed is edible and the berries are medicinal! It's hard to find credible information on this long forgotten plant, and there is a lot of incorrect information out there, but I'll always let several grow in my garden. Plus, they're quite beautiful, IMO. The ripe berries can be frozen and swallowed (seeds are toxic, so don't chew. They'll go through your system without issue) with water like a pill, and used for aches and pain. I've used them and eaten the properly cooked leaves without any problem. Years ago they were sold as a canned green. God has given us so many sources of nutrition and natural medicine! I'm trying to learn this almost lost information.
I've heard this, but yes it's really only word of mouth so it feels risky! I have tons around my house and I'm planning to the berries to dye some things before I rip it out!
Me too I love teas in the summer. Most recently it's been hibiscus lemonade, next double mint.
What variety is the oregano?
Everything looks lovely! And fyi, poke weed is medicinal and edible. I grew up eating poke salat as a young girl. You have to be sure to wash it 3 or 4 times though and cook it thoroughly. Thanks for the update!
I LOVE poke greens! Similar to collards!
Is that the plant that grows a magenta colored stem with dark purple or black berries? I thought that was poisonous
I grew up eating poke, too, and my mom always added eggs after they were cooked, and she had got all the water all squeezed out, and then she fried it up in an iron skillet. It's so delicious with hot cornbread.
Dad always said if you eat polk salad 3 times in the spring won't get a cold or flue in winter. Seemed to always work! It is full of all kinds of vitimans
Purple plant, Larkspur
..
Thank you for the yard tour
Oh wow!! Time is flying by on your year of land rest!! Love the new blueberry pancake tradition! ☺ Oh the rosewater idea! Sounds delightful!! Watching this as it is FINALLY raining here after about two weeks drought! Nice lemon balm haul! Great idea about the edible landscaping!! Any issues with ant hills under plants?? We keep getting tons of them that we pour vinegar on. Such a problem this year! Maybe the drought? Yesssss Oregano tincture is amazing for so many things!! Awesome story! What a pretty haul!🌻☺
Kick the anthill then generously sprinkle Diatomaceous Earth all over it.
Plantain is also a wonderful remedy to dry up poison ivy rashes. Just roll the leaf around until it releases some juices and apply to the rash. My husband has reactions like your son. 😢
I have a very small yard. Your edible landscaping advice makes a lot of sense. Thank you. Gorgeous yard.
Hi Rechel. Day lili is Hemrokalis.
Milkweed-Asclepias.
Lemon Balm-
Melissa officinalis.
Black eye susie-
Rudbeckia
Had fun with you and coming along with your volunteer plants. Think I'll give them a go next season, so I can enjoy the same feeling of down to earth. T.U. 🤭 🙌 🌿🌾 🥕🧄
This was a very pleasant visit on a very pleasant day! Your whole property is a garden. Very beautiful!
Some of those weeds are wild edibles. Young poke, Dock ,curly dock . Some are medicinal.
Im so glad you have mugwort, well...for me, because now I know what is lining our trails! Thanks!!
Im loving the tour 😊 i was wondering what was going on with it all! LOVELY!
God always provides!
I think your tall purple flowers are delphineums, and they are beautiful!
I'm pretty sure it was borage I was looking into rhe other day n it Saud u can make a compost tea out of it like comfry....sorry if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it was borage❤
I started taking borage oil capsules and don- que capules in my late 40s. Went through the change chage of life like a breeze Im 71 and could not tell you what a hot flash is. Felt better during those years than i had felt in many years!
Thank you for this video ,I was pegging the string down with wire clips. this is going to save me Time and money not spent on wire clips. Alf🙂🙂🙂
I think you need to rest and enjoy life sometimes. It’s ok to sit back and rest and let things go. I like these videos, and you sharing things with us. Thank you!! God Bless
😮 Rachel I thought you were not growing anything in the garden it was year 7 and it needed a rest. Although my mom and dad did live as homesteaders raised everything. They never took years off with the garden they put well rotted cow manure in regularly!
I haven't been watching truth be told because I am all into your garden and canning.
I love you though Rachel.
she isnt growing anything on purpose - this was all preplanted in previous years....
I have been told lol, but I really have been a trader and not watched 🙁
Really beautiful video and thank you for great tip
I love Eric and Ariel. They’re doing a lot of projects on their new property. It’s so exciting watching everything change. Thank you for sharing!
For tinctures I watch @StiversHomestead and The Honeystead? Zack and Jen with Stivers just did a video recently about her tinctures and what all they’re good for. When these 100°+ temps come back down I’m definitely planting more medicinal herbs. What I don’t soak I’ll freeze dry for tea. I love how my lemon balm turns out being FD. Blessings to you both. Your flowers are gorgeous!
I ordered my seeds for Falls garden and Spring 🌱😊.Plus I have 3 Comfrey starts, and Comfrey. Say Rachel, does Honey berry plant need 2? For pollination. How do you make the Oregano tincture?
Shalom
If you have any jewel weed it is wonderful for poison ivy. I make salves out of it. But also, if I break out any it works great
Why remove a wild grapevine? Aren’t leaves and grapes both edible?
Thanks for telling us about making oregano tincture...now I feel like an idiot for assuming that only the essential oil was useful 😅
Horseradish leaves kimchi or pickled greens is oneof the best condiments there is -- if you like kinda spicy one.
Lovely exciting garden. Wonderful weeds and flowers Isn’t it great to grow so much food when you do nothing??!!!
You need some anise hyssop. It's lovely, the pollinators love it, and it makes a wonderful tea with mint.
By the way, your hair looks beautiful. I'm glad you're still letting it go natural.
What is the mosquitoe mixture
I live in N. MN and the are aweful !!
Thyme is probably my favorite 🌿
Bee balm is aweaome too. Mine is a big bush and the hummingbirds love it. I can sit on my back porch and just watch the hummingbirds play..its lovely too❤
We've live here 6 year planted kale once the first year and never had to plant it again😂
Love, love , love volunteers; I would dig some of those up and plant them somewhere else in my landscape or give them to friends and family!!! Love your channel!!!
LMAO At all the airplanes! You must be close to DTW ;)
I'm actually going to start getting my comfrey going on each quarter of my ground garden, as I've read so much good that it does for the other plants.
Your garden is so beautiful and bountiful! What part of LA are you from?
Thank you for sharing. You always leave me with a new tip. Have a great day🌸💕🇺🇸
Great little walk with you Rachel thanks. ❤
But dock is edible and is a great chop and drop since roots grow 18 feet!
Have you used mugwort for medicinal? Did you tincture the echinacea flowers? Lots of uses for borage! I watched a video and he made a tea to fertilize his plants with it. I enjoyed the stroll with you. I imagine you hear a lot of planes coming and going into Detroit Metro!
Put down garden lime in the fall and again in the spring🎉🎉🎉
