a drunk college student fell on my tree/plant thing, and snapped it in half. heck i think it grows even better now. sometimes my mexican neighbors ask for some and i always have plenty. so they get to help themselves, because they are not greedy. :D also i think my cat has a syrian rue and white sage addiction. probably more than the organic catnip i grow.
I love learning about the different herbs from you ... I've heard of Lemon Verbena but never knew what it was used for. Thanks for sharing and educating me!
I found a thing at the top of your videos that says all or unwatched it's really helped me instead of going to videos that I've already seen and hit the thumbs up I can watch the ones I've not seen. Love you Tessie. God bless take care❌💜⭕
I love to used the dried herb on baked chicken with a little rosemary and thyme! Yummy! You got a great yield out of that too! Hope you have a fabulous day!!
bought some lemon verbena plants at my favorite nursery and they're growing like crazy - - - just googled what to do with them - - - lo and behold, your video came up - - - perfect! thanks, tessie. xoxo
Thank you so much Tessy! I have Lemon Verbena in my garden and I adore the scent. I did not realize all of the benefits until you shared with us. God bless you sweetie!
You do not want to use it for the skin the oils have phototoxins in it witch makes skin irritable when in the sun love the rest of the video thanks for the video it is a really diverse plant
This is a lovely video, happiness and joy radiating from you is like seeing the smile on Gods face. I have lemon verbena (here in UK) and it's growing in my apartment, smells amazing, going to trim a little then put out in hall way so that it can get some sunshine. I put my leaves in Vodka to make room spray for bathroom, it is also useful as a window cleaner and helps keep flies etc away. Hope I learn to get my plant looking as good as yours. At the moment it's looking spindly, but from your videos and comments I now learned that it likes full sun. Thank you for sharing 💚
PS Grandma Fannie wrote in her diary 11 years exactly before the date I was born July 20th 1953 at the beginning of this video. Thank you for the birthday wish Tuesday and I thanked your subscribers also. That was so sweet for them to take the time out to wish me a happy birthday. I feel like I have family and friends on here I am so blessed and so happy that I found your channel. Here in my heart and prayers.
Gonna start searching for seeds today. Can't wait to get some. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of Laura Ingalls and since she has always been my favorite author I have to get some and try to grow it.🤗
Great idea. I am going to try this. I save my orange rinds and put them in vinegar for cleaner. But I like your idea with the alcohol as a disinfectant for the bathroom. Thanks!!!
Love it....just mine hasn't done much this year...not sure if I picked up a bad plant or what but it's not much bigger then when I bought it. Might have to try from seed next year
I don't have lemon Verbena so I may use fresh squeezed lemons and make that disinfectant I am going to try that next. Excellent video. I need that herb book gonna look for it. I may look to get lemon balm to grow what would you recommend. I am very much interested in growing more herbs and plants in general. This is a great instruction video. I think you should keep the intro of you dancing in the rain I love watching you dance. I enjoy your instructional videos Iv'e learned a lot from you. You have a special way of making it happen in a fun way. Love you My sister:)
I think I may try and grow lemon verbena on my patio farm this year. I love the lemon flavored herbs and spices to flavor foods so this will be an experiment for me to see if I can grow it in the south in a large pot. And I hope I can find the starter plant around one of the stores or plant centers here. Thank you for introducing me to lemon verbena.👍💙
I hit "subscribe" just after watching the :17 intro. No Kardashian has ever made me think "she's my people" and Homestead Tessie did, in less than 17 seconds! Loving this channel. Keep up the great work!
Hey Tessie, love the intro! ICU cooling off your face there looks like from the water barrel. Next hot day I dare you to Bob for apples in that rain barrel. It will be a hoot! LOL
Great video...learned some new stuff..thank you!! I am over dehydrating for right now...my peppers flopped and my herbs are taking forever and the electricity on top of that...so I came across a tip...put herbs in a paper bag and put them in the car for 7 to 10 days and they are done....so when I get unmad I will try it..LOL
Hey Puddin! ☺ The thought of a quiet, warm bath with the scent of the Lemon Verbena is enticing. Especially after a hard day of chores in this heat! Your videos are equally refreshing honey, thanks for sharing and making my morning coffee all the more enjoyable. Happy to see a friend with a pure heart 😊
Thank you Tessie I learned a lot. I am going to try some pots of herbs next year. I will be sure to try this one. Makes me think of Little House on the Prarie. They used lemon verbena perfume.
You inspired me to get some Lemon Verbena. It's expensive so I hope it grows will. Would you do a video on how to make the Lemon Verbena perfume? That would be awesome!
I think there's going to be a lot of people searching for lemon verbena herb plants including me. Do any of your herb plants overwinter in your garden. I'm curious as you live so far north and have snow and much colder weather than we do here. I have had good luck with mine year round in the past. Ask because your plant is so big and you got a basket full for making cleaner. I so wish I'd kept my book on herbs instead of donating it and others. That gives me a good reason to look online for one as I'm wanting to get back into growing more again. Thanks for giving the timeframe for when the cleaner is ready to use. I have to say I absolutely love your new intro as it seems to represent you so well. We don't often get to see the fun side of creators and I like seeing it. Thank you for braving the heat to make this video. I hope you have a great day!
I just ordered lemon verbena plants, so I wanted to see what you had to say about it since it's one of your favorites. Funny thing, the subtitles were on by accident and it called you Homestead Testy!
I have another herb question. When you harvest herbs, how far done the stem do you cut them? I don't know if you cut them down and only leave 2 inches from the soil or what. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. My brain is off a bit today.
The Essential Herbal By Tina sams you will not find it anywhere but on a website And it is very very expensive essentialherbal.com/collections/books/products/540
Amazing ! I have never grown it. So are you saying this has to be planted every year here in the north? I am just loving the idea of using it in cooking. 🌻💜🌻💜🌻
We're can I find lemon verbena. Can I start it like you did with the cuttings of herbs. I have a mieris store a few towns north of were I live. And good to know that you can use for cleaning. Can you use it for a mosquito repellent. God bless you for sharing. I would love to start a herb garden like yours. I did have mint & oregano so far. I've planted seeds of lavender basil & thyme.
@@shirleydrake1602 a lot of things are disappearing. But I did find top crop & blue lake Bush beans and ruby red carrots. I got a pound of each. And I will save all if the seeds I can this year for the next year's too come.. my friend was gifted one gallon of seed corn and used it for years . She just kept it in the freezer til she used it. And I was gifted 1 lb. Of Kentucky Wonder pole beans in 2009 and used them til 2019.
Hi Tessie. I follow your video a lot. And I came closer to this video were you show the plant verbena that I been looking for a long time. Can you sale small plant for it or seed. I will pay for shipping .let me know. I'm in Arizona .thanks
Hi Zina If you are still looking for lemon verbena try Home Depot. In my state Home Depot is currently carrying lemon verbena plants. Also check their website to see if it's on there and if they will ship it to you. Best of luck.

Hi thank you for the video and precious info. What is the name of the herbs magazine ? Lemon verbena grow best on the sun or shade ? Thank you so much .
Little house on the prairie. That's what came to mind when I saw lemon verbena.
You can also extract it by soaking the verbena in heated coconut oil. It smells amazing and makes my skin so soft!
wow thank you !! I did not Know that !
Please explain how
a drunk college student fell on my tree/plant thing, and snapped it in half. heck i think it grows even better now. sometimes my mexican neighbors ask for some and i always have plenty. so they get to help themselves, because they are not greedy. :D also i think my cat has a syrian rue and white sage addiction. probably more than the organic catnip i grow.

thats some good tips.
You rock!! 😀
Just discovered a fresh shoot off an aging lemon verbena plant & the fragrance is amazing!
That is so exciting !!
I eat the tender new heads of the lemon verbena as salade, or just mix it with basil to make pestro with garlic and ginger.

My wife really likes lemon verbena candles.
The lemon verbena tea is good for the digestive system. .
Only have one plant and love the smell of it. I read you can keep the plant indoors over the winter ,
I left mine outside last winter because I thought it was an annual. It died out over the winter, but came back this spring! I’m in NC.
I 💕 herbs, I’ve had lemon balm but not lemon verbena. Must get some now! Thanks, Tessie!
Gonna start searching for seeds today. Can't wait to get some. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of Laura Ingalls and since she has always been my favorite author I have to get some and try to grow it.🤗
Kathy I will share this with you ...when people say I remind them of Little house I am so happy for you see that is the perfect compliment for me !!!
Love it. Thank you 💜
beautifully enjoying my land
Thank you for the info! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Great job dear
Thanks!! Love you!!
Great idea. I am going to try this. I save my orange rinds and put them in vinegar for cleaner. But I like your idea with the alcohol as a disinfectant for the bathroom. Thanks!!!
The longer you let it set The stronger the lemon will be It really works well With a strong scent herb
thanks for sharing
wow,so many uses! Bet smells great!
Great video and timely! I actually just bought some lemon verbena. It does smell delightful. 💛
Love it....just mine hasn't done much this year...not sure if I picked up a bad plant or what but it's not much bigger then when I bought it. Might have to try from seed next year
🐯So interesting and relaxing video🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋

In in climates lower than freezing temps

I'm using it right now in a fish soup.

Thank you for Such Kind words, You are a beautiful person and your comment to me Blessed me so much! Welcome !!
I grew so much this summer. I have to do something with it. Yaaaaay! Wish I had a distiller.
Have you tried overwintering the plant indoors?
I have but not with any success
That's what I was afraid of. I don't think I've ever seen it for sale here. I'll have to order a plant in the spring and give it a try. 😊
Hey Tessie, love the intro! ICU cooling off your face there looks like from the water barrel. Next hot day I dare you to Bob for apples in that rain barrel. It will be a hoot! LOL

Thank you so much Lauri that means so much to me
Love this intro. Sweet girl!!!!!
Great video Tessie that looks really amazing thank you so much for sharing 😊 💕💕 💕👍 👍👍 👍👍 👍👍 👍👍 👍👍 👍
New sub. My favorite herb. Can’t find a plant anywhere.
Great Hello from Arabia
Hi Thuria !
I like your educational videos.
Always learning.
I love the smell of lemon!
Thanks for the info. I will try to find some.
Add oregano leaves for stronger disinfectant. Lemon verbena smells amazing but doesn't have enough by itself to act as a disinfectant.
Thanku. Will look for this herb in farmers market or garden stores. Very helpful video
You inspired me to get some Lemon Verbena. It's expensive so I hope it grows will. Would you do a video on how to make the Lemon Verbena perfume? That would be awesome!

How l do plants at home?
🐯ReWatched in Play list
Another great video. Another book for me to buy. And oh I love seeing you dance in the rain. Can't see what tomorrow will bring. Take care.

I cut down to about 6 inches :)
ok thanks
I am going try it
Keep teaching Tessie girl

Thank you, I was in herbalist school here in Maine. I believe the truly educated student never stops learning.
I am always learning something new on your channel. TFS
Amazing ! I have never grown it. So are you saying this has to be planted every year here in the north? I am just loving the idea of using it in cooking. 🌻💜🌻💜🌻
I'm going to look for this herb to plant this year 2020. Ann ❤🐔
Please explain the drying proccess...
Just hang it upside down :) and air dry

Good morning Tessie
Do you bring your plants in for the winter?
No I don't , All of them are perennials Of the herbs Except the lemon verbena
I guess I should have elaborated my question. Do you bring in your Lemon Verbena?
Yes you can, I've never had any success with it
Please ma'am is it ok for high blood pressure 🙏
I do not know you need to google it
if this is for cleaning I am wondering if you could use white vinegar?
Yes that would be Perfect :)
Can it be grown from seeds. I love a Lemon Vervena perfume that I brought from the US. Thank you.
No Lemon verbena is only a plant ....I got mine here every spring early they have free shipping ,it just ended
www.growjoy.com/store/pc/home.asp
Yes you can grow it from seed. It can be difficult, but can be done.
Hi thank you for the video and precious info. What is the name of the herbs magazine ?
Lemon verbena grow best on the sun or shade ? Thank you so much .
essentialherbal.com/ Full sun is the best !!
Great video.. Did you cut your hair? Blessing sunshine
Yes I did about 3 months ago :) Love you my friend
Can I smoke it?
