Beautiful! I planted some a year ago and am struggling to protect it against a dastardly but adorable baby groundhog 😂 I think I might see a few blooms this year (I caged them and inter-planted some wild violets for the groundhog as a peace offering), but yours is lovely to see thriving!!

I love this❤. I have birds that I watch close by, especially Robins, which have decided to build nests nearby. I have one female which I love dearly has nested for about two years now. Her nests usually includes three eggs and three hatchlings. I try to keep a close watch on her because I don’t want anything to happen to her….she brings joy and brightens up my day with their songs. I was afraid for the babies this spring because it was colder than usual, but so far the babies survived and are now on their own somewhere. I love birds, they are the first to tell you if something is wrong in the ecosystems, and lately, I’ve noticed that something is amiss because I have noticed less birds this year than before. People are always using too much bug killers and weed killers and are actually killing off the food source that the birds eat, namely flying insects, bugs and angle worms in the ground, and putting birds onto the extinction list because of it. They are having trouble with finding the good food and resources they need to survive. 👍❤️🙏🏼

Very cool

Sorry, I had to stop just after you mentioned using a rain barrel in order to catch & use "mineral rich water"? I'm somewhat perplexed as it was my understanding or a matter of fact: that the water from the sky that falls to earth is as close to pure water as possible or basically distilled water. Typically after a 10 to 15 minute Window has elapsed. The rainwater becomes pure filtered mineral free water. 10 to 15 minutes is any dirt dust or pollen taken down by the rain water which is not as pure until all of the particulate in the sky has diminished extended period of rainfall. I'm wondering where the minerals are coming from because as water evaporates we know that any heavy minerals stay on the ground as the water turns into a gas vapour. These water vapours rise far above the earth to form rain clouds. This is also known as mother natures natural water filter. Nonetheless if I am wrong, which is possible please correct me so I'm not spreading disinformation. Thank you for the informative video.

Excellent but it would be gud if there is a company making this for every house and flats so everyone can do this harvesting 👌👍🙏

Beautiful like you

Thank you for posting this.

What zones can it be grown in and what other places is it native to.

Bees think it's da balm

It's a beauty in my garden I look forward to seeing every year!

It's a beautiful addition to my backyard! and I love to see the tall spikes rising high in the air every summer.

Their dance really is a showoff move! It was much fun to sit in my friend's yard at dusk and watch this dance.

Cool. I thought one of my red oaks might be close to oldest and/or biggest. It's 46" diameter, so a foot less than that beauty. And red oaks grow faster than white, so its probably a good deal younger. I DO have a nice stand of that vast oak forest you describe, though, with about 20 white and a few smaller red. Sadly have lost 7 since we moved here 45 years ago, but do have youngsters coming.

We've got some at a nature center by my house in Peoria.

An excellent video!

Judy bought one for my garden

Just bought two for here in Illinois

Wow what a cool plant! Kinda mindblowing to see a plant just move however you push it like that

Thank you for sharing and raising awareness! I have planted 12 native oaks in the last 2 months...just planted a Chinkapin Oak this morning. Oaks are the keystones to ecosystems. Looking forward to all of the wildlife that will get to enjoy them in the years to come.

Is that a single plant or more than 1 plant?

So I’m trying to keep native plants or xeriscape my yard and garden, I’m in sw KS and we’ve been under a very long drought so it just makes sense to. I have a veggie garden in wicking beds to preserve water, what veggie plants benefit from bee balm or should I place it near or further from the garden? Obviously oregano can help prevent certain pests getting into my tomatoes so would this be similar since it also has an oregano type smell?!

With appreciation from Vancouver Island!

Don’t eat them right off the bush….they are toxic until processed

Thank you

This is wonderful🥰

why would anyone name a bird that

Location?

Excellent video! Thanks so much for what you all are doing🙏🤍🌱

You can make an alcohol out of the blooms and it tastes like honey 🍯😋

Talking and bird cartoons. I’m out.

Yo it be blooming long term though 🫠❤️!

Where can I purchase that rain barrel?

So that what it looks like.

Great video !

During a heavy rain is the hose big enough to handle the water until barrel is filled

I thought they got about 4’ tall. Those look about 8’

Loved your video!!! You are a sweet, entertaining and knowledgeable young lady! Thank you for sharing with us, it was very interesting!!! ❤❤❤

this is a good video

Even American Woodcocks BIRDS dance BETTER than ME...🤭

They shuffle dance like the Church Lady😂

I know I've heard their unusual sounds but always thought it was a bug of some sort! However, though in their breading zone, I've never seen one. I think they are adorable ❤

Hard to hear their songs and Twitter's over the traffic noise but I really love these birds

I love the way you say all the info, very entertaining and informative. I swaer I've heard that sound on my land in central Ky, I hope they're out here!

I’ve hunted them and they are delicious little birds! They are great for dogs and easily scented by them ! When flushed they fly in a corkscrew path and drop about 40 yards away ! Easy to flush again!

Great presentation - thanks for getting the word out about agroecology!

😂😂😂❤❤❤

Wow, this is what we love to see in illinois.
