Hello everyone. The subject of good health is so important so I thought I would make this video showing some relatively easy crops you can grow for yourself. I have linked some videos in the description box showing how you can grow some of these crops. Here is a pumpkin video I made which is doing quite well with regards to views so people seem to be enjoying it lol!

As you go deeper into the medicinal use of plants you will be amazed how much there is to learn. When living in Rhode Island I started an historic recreation of an 18th century medicinal garden on the grounds of a 1747 doctors house and now that I live in North Dakota I do a very casual lecture on foraging for plants to consume and also their medicinal values. I bring this up because you are so right in telling your viewers to do their own research. It's amazing how many of these plants can be dangerous if used improperly.
Howdy, Dan! Fun times...I enjoy going around your garden with ya.😃 Thanks for the info share. Beets and cherries help with blood sugar regulation. Lots of good eating you harvested!👍
@homegardens7682 Howdy, Dan! We are hitting our summer heat...been at 100 with heat indexes 10 to 11 degrees higher. Harvesting okra, chard, peppers, a few tomatoes, grapes, flowers, etc. This month, we do our second planting of melons, corn, winter squash, etc. Usually, we are dry from late June till September. We have a hurricane getting ready to hit our coast...3+ hours from Central Texas. We are going to get some rain. Usually, the dust from Africa is crossing us, keeping hurricanes from pushing this way at this time of year.
Nice little harvest Dan 😊. My perpetual spinach bolted earlier on in the year so I just let it go to flower ( the birds seemed to like pecking at it) but I was so surprised at how tall they grew, they must have been a good 8ft tall!. Great video Dan 😊
Fascinating stuff man. I'm particularly interested in Alzheimer prevention through diet. Adequate skeletal muscle is apparently vital. What I really found revelatory, as I was listening to you was that a good diet of freshly grown organic foods can be 'whole body' maintenance, each food doing its part. This requires further research....Jim 👍
Hello Dan, nice harvest you have there. I live in the Netherlands and dream of having a home garden with crops of my own one day. My sister in Brighton, UK, has a home garden with lots of crops and flowers. I will suggest growing peaches and nectarines to her. I enjoy watching people grow their own food it inspires me. When it comes to medicinal plants, I recommend chamomille for tea for relaxing and stomach health. Also, rosemary for tea or to go with does lovely potatoes for a nice dish out of the oven. Rosemary is good for the digestion, lowering blood sugar, etc. Both plants also have a lovely aroma in my opinion which can help with the mood. If you enjoy does smells you can do mindfulness exercises without even trying! :)
Nice potatoes, and beets feed and clean the blood. It's a healthy food indeed. Yes research and if taking medications ASK your physician. Am 67 this year Did much research , havent needed medication Thnaking God. Thanks for videos lovely garden
Well, since you mentioned your grey hair - maybe now you're nearly 40 it's time to embrace the grey and ditch the dye! 🙂 I think a short cut, left longer on top to make the most of those lovely curls, would suit you. The sides and back would still be dark so the contrast would look quite trendy. Thanks for another enjoyable garden tour, all looking very productive. We have recently installed our first ever hanging basket - something I've not bothered with before, but I've planted it up with a few geraniums and am curious to see whether the extra height/increased light might get better results than plants at ground level. Maybe I could try planting strawberries in it next year (but I'd probably have to net them to keep the birds off them)? Funny you mentioned spearmint, I bought a plant last year and today I picked some leaves with the plan to make mint tea tonight - something I've never done before. I wonder how different it will taste to a mint teabag infusion.
Lol! Yes. My lady likes to dye my hair but I have put a stop to that now though lol. Gonna go grey anfd look like Gandalf. I always said long hair up until I am 40 so we shall see what I will do then!
I am glad that I found your videos because I started my garden last year in the UK, and I wanted to watch other UK garden videos to see what can grow in the UK and how late I can plant 🪴 and I also have a chanell sueeverythingvlogss
Good show Dan, loving you sharing your medicinal plant research, I've researched some wild plants when I was into foraging, I keep Plantain in my (untidy, the only way, lol) boarders, it's brilliant for insect bites, we live in the countryside and get mobbed by mosquito and horse flies, better than doc leaves for nettle stings too, also grow a lot of comfrey mostly to make an extract for fertiliser but I also use it to make a poltice for sprains/bruises as it speed up healing, they used to call it 'knit bone' as it was used on broken bones for the same reason.
I’ve got a medicinal herb section in my front garden that’s currently growing feverfew, St John’s wort, chamomile and yarrow. I’ve made a salve with the dried yarrow flowers and it’s great for cuts, grazes and dry skin. I’ve made a feverfew and blackberry leaf tea and a honeysuckle and lemon balm tea.
hi dan great info today we have a medium size garden and keep it clear but growing is the goal ps my mum says is there something to help her addiction to watching your videos thank you again

So true. The saying a little knowledge can be dangerous certainly rings true here.

My pleasure Valorie. How is the growing where you are?

Yes they get massive when they grow to seed!

Certainly does Jim. Loads to look into.

Great suggestions there Dave.
Thank you. Your garden looks great at the moment😀
Cheers. Loads to come.

Thanks for videos lovely garden
My pleasure. Loads to come.
Great stuff Dan, interesting to with the little facts on health benefits. Certainly gives food for thought.
Indeed. Loads to look into.

Cool. I may look into plantain.

@Nejust-Bailes Great stuff.
Great crops there.
@Nejust-Bailes thanks, but I won’t be using it as I take antidepressants; I grow it to make my own tea blends for people who are able to drink it. 👍🏻
hi dan great info today we have a medium size garden and keep it clear but growing is the goal ps my mum says is there something to help her addiction to watching your videos thank you again
Lol! My only suggestion would be to watch other RUclipsrs who are better than me lol!!
nice interesting medicinal angle
Cheers. Loads to come.
fantastic channel
Thanks so much.
Hi dan. Could you give a update on your tropical plants. I'm growing lemons, limes, oranges pomegranate mango looking for some help
I dont grow much of those crops anymore. The Provence pomegranite looks healthy though.
where did you buy your peach trees from ?
Here you go! www.blackmoor.co.uk/peach-peregrine-p12620 Dixired hard to get now though it seems.
