@@Truongthikimcuong92 You are very sweet, thank you! The pleasure is mine. 🥰

@elizabethreid9448 Ahh yay! Glad it was helpful. 🥰 The soup was delicious!! I'm convinced cooking with fresh herbs is healing for the soul, lol.

@ksquallfangirl I am SO SO glad you found it helpful. I hope you have a relaxing evening. ❣️

@@LunaDarkMagicianGirl IT IS MY favorite (tied with Lemon) because it smells a bit like Cinnamon to me!!! And it is SOOO beautiful.

@@littlewildhomestead oh really?? My boyfriend loves cinnamon and basil! Thank you for the great tip!

@LunaDarkMagicianGirl You're very welcome!!! I recommend trying it in an iced tea with honey, too! So many uses!!

SO SO GOOD. Sometimes, when I am in the garden, I will literally get distracted by basil. As in, I will grab a bunch and just sit in the grass, smelling a handful and chewing on it.

@@zitaalvarez6194 Haha, cuando vienen a recojerlo?

@@littlewildhomestead jajaja cuando el quiera

@donham7465 🤣 Haha, did you catch what he was, though? Soooo fuzzy and adorblae!!!

@@BrigitteBeckley 💯💯 The pleasure was all mine!

I fill up a quart sized jar with dried bidens alba leaves, cover it with organic olive oil, and let it "bake" in the sun for 30 days.I then melt beeswax at a ratio of 1 portion beeswax to 4 portions oil (1/5) using the "double boiler" method in the video. Once melted, I sti in the oil until well incoroorated. I use a wooden stick that I can throw away after as the wax will harden as it cools. I then take the jar out, tighten a lid on it, and let it cool on the counter. Use more oil in your recipe for a creamier salve.

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT. Lmk if you need any tips or advice on some good blends to try. Love that for you!!

@@littlewildhomestead thanks!!! I’m a beginner so any advice is welcomed. Don’t know of any beginner friendly books to guide me?

@JustJamiesAdventures The Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine is a very popular one so I think that's a great starting point. If you'd like to share something specific you're working on healing, DM me on IG and I may have some advice. If you're interested in learning it in general TH-cam will continue to be your best friend! I'd be happy to send you samples of our teas as we have new product in stock and maybe you can use that to figure out what you really like/what works to grow some of your own!

@@littlewildhomestead awesome!!!! I already ordered that one on Amazon and it actually arrived this evening. Sure I’d love a sample of tea!

It's been extra hot so I have definitely been watering extra. I usually check the soil with my fingers and make sure it's dry before watering, but maybe it's wet deeper than I'm checking? I'll look into that!

I’m not an expert in any way, that’s just my experience. Hopefully it works itself out 💙

Oh, I will definitely give you some tips! I'll add that to my schedule! The number one thing I've struggled with and learned to overcome is that Moringa seedlings don't like wet feet very much OR extreme sun. So I find a shady-ish space for them and if it's going to rain heavily, I bring them inside. Once they are established, the rain won't be as much of an issue.

Daww that made me smile. You're such a peach. 🥰 You're doing GREAT. I am only just starting to get more organized this year. I have attempted similar methods in the past but not been very disciplined. We will see how this hear pans out. Lol.

🤣🤣🤣 I'm flattered, but I am married. Best wing man ever. Pun also intended. 😎

Oh my heart!!! ❤

I will definitely post some updates for you as it progresses. ❤

That's SO exciting. Makes me super happy because that's exactly what I wanted to do with TH-cam this yr. For new gardeners, I recommend growing things that check off at least two of the following: 1. Things you eat/use a lot of 2. Things that are expensive OR not easy to get at the store. 3. Things that you don't have to wait a long time to harvest. If you eat/use a lot of ginger, then it checks 2 out of 3 of those boxes. It takes about 10 mos to get a really productive harvest. That being said, as long as you use a lot of it, YES. Great crop to grow as a new gardener. But I'd also recommend growing 1 or 2 other things that you can harvest more quickly so you don't get deflated by not having a product to harvest for nearly a year. Good luck and happy growing. ❤ Let me know if you have any other questions. 🥰

So, we did a no dig method. We moved down the weeds and then layered compost and soil on top & amended with bone and blood meal. I topped that with cypress mulch which is slightly less acidic then pine bark mukch, so better for most veggies. I made the border with sticks from around the property because I am cheap. 😊

My three favorite things are pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread/cake, and pumpkin soup. This is the soup recipe I use. It is AMAZING! www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/pumpkin-soup.html

Get ittt. I need to buy even more. 🤣 I am OBSESSED

I like to think we are all a "little wild"! See what I did there? 🤣

Yeah they are gonna need to come off the vine soon!! Basil is my favorite. 😊

I love how it came out and I can't way to see it evolve with all the plans we have for this space. <3

Thank you. This made my morning! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and Mother's day!

Yes, pls pls pls. All the flower suggestions!!

@@littlewildhomestead another good flower to plant are French marigolds- which are different than the more common African marigolds. French marigolds can help deter root knot nematodes among other things. I learned the hard way that our Sandy native soil is prone to root knot nematodes 😅. Some other good ones are borage and nasturtiums which I personally haven’t had much luck with but this year is a new year. My lavender has done fantastic and is supposed to help keep mosquitos away- I say this as I’m covered in mosquito bites 😂. I think you’ve inspired me to do a garden tour on TH-cam as well, I’m always making short videos to send my friends anyway 😂.

@@JustJamiesAdventures Do it!! I would love to see what you're working on. :) I just looked up french marigolds and I think I am accidentally growing them. 😆 I am growing one tiny lavender plant. If I dont kill it I am definitely planting more!!

I did it! I made a TH-cam video 🥳

Maybe that's my problem. 🤣 I do LOVE zinnias. I have a few different varieties I started from seed that I am wildly excited about. Sounds like this may be my excuse to pick up more. 😜

Thank you!! We are attempting to do no till as much as possible, so I layered some good compost with some soil & amendments up using the sticks to hold it all today. Hope it works out well; we'll see in a few weeks!

Thank you!! And that's all that counts!! 😆 I have several beds now that are literally made from sticks I collected.

Ty! We are only a few hours away from there! What zone are you in?

@@littlewildhomestead I am 8b but just down the road is 9a so somewhere in between 😂.

@@JustJamiesAdventures Same. We may just have to get together and share tips sometime!
