I finished this one early, had to come back and finish
Wow, I learned so much from this, thank you!!! I just started growing a few flowers (For a new hobby during quarantine) and Bachelor Buttons had been my first pick of flowers!!! :D (It started growing today!!!)
Glad it was helpful!
So glad I found you. I have started eating healthy and I have a desire to use more holistic medicines!!
Awesome! So glad you found us too!
Awesome, thanks !
Thx u are so smart. 🥰👍🏻
Thank you! Great video. I made plantain salve last year, nice to know I can also add this.
Awesome!
WOW!!! I LOVE Bachelor Buttons. I kept buying the seeds, hoping to plant them. Because you very rarely see Blue flowers. I also want them to naturalize in my garden. I finally planted some last year. I also planted some this year 2022. They germinated really fast and I just LOVE them so much. I had no idea they had all these uses. Thank you so much!
Our pleasure!
Great video thank you
My pleasure!
Wow! Such great information! How would you use the leaves?
That I do not know as most people use the flowers.
What’s the best way to dehydrate them? Should I take the petals off the green part of the blossoms or can I just dry them as is? Thanks
Great video! I am hoping to harvest some bachelor buttons for drying to use in tea blends. Do you have any tips for how to do it? Thank you!
Yes! Make sure to check out our free tea blending course here www.growcreatesip.com/resource_redirect/landing_pages/876721
Can you make this into a tincture? And if so how would you do that? Thank you for your video.
Yes you could but it would be better served as a tea.
Do they come back every year do they take over your garden
They will come back if they are allowed to go to seed. We usually pull them up and the chickens deal with most of the seed. I haven't had any issues with this method.
I’ve grown some at home this year and I am planning to infuse some into some gin, would you recommend using the whole flower or just the petals? And should I dry them first?
The whole flower would be great
How do you make bachelor button tea? How many blossoms do you use to make the tea for UTIs?
I’d recommend our free tea blending workshop here www.growcreatesip.com/resource_redirect/landing_pages/876721
How do u collecting pollen from bachelor buttons
I'm not really sure, what are you collecting it for?
medici-nary >I think you just coined a word there!
I’ll have to do that some more!
Can I cook them in spaghetti?
Probably but I’m not sure how they would taste!
I eat them raw right off the plants
