This makes a really good tea.
What would you describe it as?
My entire backyard is full of these plants lol glad it's useful
Nice!!!!
Thx for sharing your knowledge with us! I noticed that you have terrific books on your website. These flowers are everywhere! As a teenager, I used to pick off the tiny blue-purple blooms, flatten them in a book, dry them, and acrylic-paste them on a canvas for dried flower art. When flattened, they look like birds flying in the air!😄
That is really cool!! Using wild flowers in art is creative and beautiful! Thank you for your kind words!
I need to start a garden with all these plants in them. Note to self: find plants, save seeds. Lol. Thanks again. 🙂👍
Yes - save seeds! You are welcome Imusbcraz!
The BEST video on the subject I've seen! Thank you so much for concise and (of course) useful presentation. Well done:) Can you, if you've not already, do one a wild lettuce? SO many variations it's difficult to discern properly - safely! Cheers!
Thank you Niki! I truly appreciate your kind words! Wild lettuces are difficult as there are so many. Funny actually, the other day I saw a small wild lettuce so to help id which one, I dug it out and took it home and transplanted it. After 24 hours it came back looking really good! So now I can watch it's growth cycle....and include this on a video later this year!!!
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
You are most welcome!
Thank you for pronouncing Plantain in both ways.
You are welcome!
Thank you for your response to my question .Very much appreciated . Here's a few more question . Would it be possible to see what those base leaves look like ? Can you use the root, and the base leaves of the plant ? Thank you .
I will add a couple of images to my website to help you - when I find them - hopefully this weekend. Stay tuned to www.ediblewildfood.com/self-heal.aspx
I thought I was looking at this plant today . Does it have a rosetta set of leaves at the base (circle of leaves sitting on the ground) of the plant ? Thank you 💕
They are not really in basal formation, but sometimes in a semi-quasi circular formation.
The problem is most pull it as a weed and it never gets to the flower stage. I believe I did that last year. I have a flower bed where it’s growing like a carpet. At least that’s what my plant app says it is.
You can always buy seeds!!!!
You should rename the title facts about self heal because idk if you helped me identify it.
