    I planted nasturtium for the first time this year, just for the benefits to my garden. I had no idea the health benefits it had for us! My husband ended up getting Covid and after three months, he still has a lingering cough. I stumbled upon a video of the benefits of nasturtium to the respiratory system and immediately had him start eating fresh leaves. It has helped him tremendously! I don’t think any of this happened by accident. I know God was looking out for us!!

    Heidi, and friends
    The smell of the orange are what we say is, " like heaven".. I cut them and put them on counter by sink. Last year they didn't bloom until late summer, this year they started early and are still going late Oct. We live in western N.Y. I can not get over how many seeds they have and are still producing.. I give them to people randomly.. lol
    But now that I know they can be dried and used for spicy seasoning I'll be harvesting more.. and pickling them when green for a replacement for capers! Thankful I found your Chanel.!! Lord Bless you

    Heidi thank you for another great video! Dr. Axe says Traditional uses of these plants included making teas and tonics to soothe sore throats and colds, and even using the flowers, seeds and leaves as natural antibiotics to help heal internal infections.
    We know from recent research that nasturtium plants have numerous healing properties due to containing antioxidants, vitamins, trace elements and bioactive compounds that can help support the immune, respiratory and digestive systems.
    Dr. Axe has more on it too.

      You need to know how much this means to me. I wrestled for awhile with the idea of making these videos but have been feeling compelled (dare I say "called"?) for some time to do this but really was not sure it was the right thing. Then several people started asking me to but I had my fears and was also worried about the time involved but I have seemed to fit it into my day quite nicely and have been having a great time with it. I had been teaching Ballet for 27years, and martial arts for 9 and just retired, so that helped free up some time too. Anyway, this encouragement blesses me and make me think it was truly the right decision on both my retiring and on starting this.

    I've read that Nasturtium can spread rapidly and take over a yard. I'm curious if you've experienced this. I don't have a large yard so I have to prioritize on what I grow.

    • @RainCountryHomestead
      @RainCountryHomestead  3 года назад +1

      Well, yes and no. Nasturtium is not like mints that spread through their roots and are perennials. Nasturtiums are annuals that drop a lot of seed but are rather delicate plants that are super easy to pull up if you get too many coming up the next year but this has never been a problem for me. In fact mine usually do best for me when I start them from seed in pots up next to the greenhouse where they are more protected, then transplant where I want them.

      Good questions! Nasturtium is the name of the plant in this video (I need to add that to the description box).
      A book I recommend (that I bought AFTER learning what I know so far! haha): www.amazon.com/gp/product/1612120059/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
      And for the top five, I will need to think about that but off the top of my head I would say Yarrow, Catnip and/or Feverfew, Aloe (easily grown indoors in pots - that is what I do), nasturtium, and garlic. This is hard though because there are so many more. I would also put plantain and dandelion at the top of the list but most people already have these growing somewhere on their property. They have so many great uses

      Those are ground cherries but the flowers are yellow and the "berries" it gets are in husks. The fruit is yellow and the dark yellow it gets the more ripe it is. Not sure if this is the same thing you have growing but the fruit is edible and tasty. Has a bit of a tropical flavor to it. The year I shot this video, I got tons and tons of them. They taste really good as a fruit butter mixed with apples. I never tried making a pie with them but if I get enough this year (I am making sure to have at least a few plants but not too many this time) I just might see how they taste cooked up like that :}

      @RainCountryHomestead  5 лет назад +1

      Each can have their own issues, the metal can rust and the plastic can become a part of the tincture, which is not good. The BEST is to use jars with glass lids like the Fido jars, which I now have and have been using more.

      As I said above, you can always do a search for anything you are unsure about by simply typing in the name of the herb into your browser along with the words "annual or perennial" and you will likely find your first hit tell you which it is. For example you would put: "Nasturtium annual or perennial" and click on the first link you see and you will find it is an annual.
      I am not growing all the things you mention so without looking them up myself, I cannot tell you however I do know that echinacea, marshmallow, marjoram, lavender, yarrow, and valerian are perennials. Borage, calendula, nasturtiums, are annuals though I have had a calendula that never died back through the winter so in that case, it was a perennial.
