You are such a beautiful, old soul. You remind me of my late mother and grandmother, who showed me how to eat from the land.
You are a gift, and your words a potent medicine in themselves. So beautifully said, my friend. Can't wait to try the poke berry elixir!
Hehe!! Yes-you need to come over soon for scones and tea anyways💛🥰
I love your Vlogs! You have a poetic way with words that brings a calmness. Thank you for teaching us.
Love the way you put everything in words so meaningful.I am excited about learning more about jerbs and forging.thank you God Bless.
Love this channel, your really doing a good job pulling the audience in, you’ve DEF got this👍🏼✨😊
So, "Middle-west" here - and oh my goodness, the controversy over pokeweed. It pleases me to no end to see a positive spin on the plant that can grow literally anywhere. And that it, too, has a purpose. When I was a young woman, raising my children, I longed for what you have: land. And, the ability to influence what you take from it. And then, the ability to develop the knowledge on how to process it. I hope that makes sense? At this stage of my life, I won't have that complete dream fulfilled, but so lovely to touch it through your creations here. Thank you.
It absolutely makes sense-I hope you’re living many prayers that you prayed before. 💛
Lovely Taylor. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your videos are beautiful and inspiring.
Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying my content💛
So very delightful 🐦
I am a newbie here. The Polk plant got me interested. I have several in my yard that come back every year. When I was a kid - growing up in TN, we used to go pick Polk salad. I never ate it, but it was my dad's favorite.
I now live in PA. I am new at foraging. I dried Goldenrod, chickory, plaintain, dandelion, purple nettle, purple Violet, and self heal. I have started making salves. I also made a jewelweed tinture since I have poison oak that grows close by.
Your never too old to learn.
I love it! I’m so glad you found this channel. I’m so happy to create a channel that brings people that enjoy making medicine as well. Im slowly learning, and I’m enjoying bringing others along on my learning journey.
I remember when I didn’t have any of this knowledge and it all seemed daunting to learn, but it really is all so simple.
And free, and nontoxic (if you know what you’re doing).
Im glad you’re here. Thank you💛
Amen Taylor.
All these cooking recipes are sounding really awesome. Can't waite for the orange chicken. I love it when you cook.
I’m glad you’re enjoying my content-I’m glad you’re here💛
@@HoneybeeHollowFilms I am not sure if it is me or YT but this is twice in the last two days that I have commented on a video and it appears on a different video. I was commenting on Linda's Pantry. Your video was about tinctures made from wildscaped plants. I was going to comment on yours but I wanted to view it a second time before I did. So, I will be back a little later because I did have a comment about Polk weed.
❤❤❤
Nice video from a fellow Tennessean. I use Pokeberries and Goldenrod to dye wool. I've never made tinctures with them, so I admire you for it.
I’ll bet that pokeberry staines fabric really well, as my pokeberry stained fingers can attest, after I’ve collected them😄
Beautiful. Thank you
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it😊
WOW! Great video! I’m gathering the autumn harvest daily for tinctures and infusions. Your blessings bless us all. Thank you 😊
Yay for autumn harvesting! Autumn blessings to you and yours.🥰
I just found your channel, and when you mentioned finding herbs in your backyard my first response was "not hardly." But I had to bite my tongue because I immediately remembered we have a whole bank of California Buckwheat, and right now there is stinging nettle cropping up everywhere. I should probably take another look at our arid climate native growth to see if I am missing out on other beneficials.
Yes, definitely check again! My husband uses a plant identifying app called PlantNet. From there, once you've identified the plant, head to pfaf.org and check out the uses/medicinal properties.
Medicine awaits!🥰
That was beautiful, in all ways. Appreciate the recipes and sharing 🎃👍
Thank you for sharing the poke recipe - this plant has called to me - from cracks in the sidewalk and now even my own garden! We used Boneset to get through the latest pandemic
Yes, enjoy!
I’m excited to experiment with boneset. I’ve never used that herb before.
I wish I would’ve seen this video before I got rid of the plant in my garden… haha although I didn’t get it from the roots and I think it’s coming back :)
There’s always next year💛
What a joy to sit and knit while watching your inspiring and beautiful video today. Thanks for sharing a slice of your life with us. I'll be on the lookout for poke weed while gathering golden rod this week. I'll try your golden rod tincture as I usually only make salve with it. So exciting!
So exciting! 💛
Thank you-I’m glad you’re enjoying my content😊
This is so cool because, this grows everywhere in northern Michigan and I have been told over and over how toxic it is. It's good to hear from experience that its medicinal
Yes! There a few other medicinal things you can do with them, but I’ve never done them and I’ve never see anyone else do it.
I’ve only ever experimented with the berries.
@@HoneybeeHollowFilms well thanks for being brave and testing it out.. Haha
Oh my goodness tell me about this herb drying rack!
My husband actually built the shelf for us. We use it to store canned goods, as well and different larger kitchen tools on top of the shelf. And underneath, he screwed in those hanging hooks for herb drying. We also have shelving in our pantry for the same purposes.
It was a genius idea! I loved that he thought to do that because now we have our lovely garden herbs all year round, even in the winter.🥰
Refer to Tony White’s song “Poke Salat Annie” People have eaten the greens for hundreds of years
Yes! I’m very interested in trying a poke salad. I haven’t before.
@@HoneybeeHollowFilms when boiling up the greens, I'd change the water twice
Good to know! Thanks!
