I love your videos. You do such a good job of showing the plants from angles where we can actually tell what we are looking at. So many youtubers tend to only show the plants from the top down and are often too blurry to make anything out.. You give us sharp closeups and long views which deserves 5 stars. Thank you so much!
Thank you Elaine! I am not a professional videographer but one thing I know for sure - all angles of a plant is important to help identify it! Your kindness has touched my heart - thank-you!
I just came back from being away for 2 weeks and a bunch is growing in my yard! I'm so excited to try this baby out. Thank you for this informative video
That is something that I have noticed: the Lord God has put free food out there for us to eat. We have just lost the ability, in our modern world, to see and know what we can eat from the wild. I so appreciate your video.
Thank you so much! This is one I will definitely be looking for and I am so impressed with your photography skills it helps me a lot! I've said it before but foraging wild edibles has vastly improved my culinary skills and our health as well. Wanted to pass on my mosquito repellent recipe that works for me, in a small spray bottle -vodka and a few drops of geranium oil. You can use water but I use vodka that way you can keep it without wondering if it's gone bad. There are other oils that work, this one is my favorite. :)
Ah thank you Karen! Wow - that's all - vodka and geranium oil!? Nice!!!! I will have to try that this evening when I go out to work on another video!!! (Mosquito territory here I come!) Lol - daytime would be better but we're having some wicked temperatures here at the moment - - it is over 90F right now. For us in southern Ontario in June that is odd. I'm trying to grow celery and the poor plant leaves are on the ground :(
@@karenstephenson7830 Wow, no fun having hotter than usual when gardens are at risk. We have the opposite, cooler than usual, I expect it will heat up soon. They spray the skies so much here it's hard to tell though. You can use cedar wood oil or lemongrass, various others but I like the geranium scent best.
vary interesting, seems like God gives us all we need, all we have to do is learn and take responsibility for our own well-being instead of relying on a corrupt system.
Keep it in your garden if you want. Better yet, go into the forest and harvest this invasive. As you can see it is a big competitor for native species. Should encourage kudzu too?
I had no idea this was such a beneficial plant to our body. But it is such a shame it is so invasive. Is there anyway to contain it to one area so you can use what you want to keep?

@@karenstephenson7830 You are very welcome, I meant every word. :-)
@@Elaineeec You are so sweet - thank you!!
Thanks, Karen. I can't believe how many of your recent videos I've missed. Sometimes TH-cam notifications fail me. Grrr. 👍🙂
Oh no!! But at least you are back Brian!!!! :)
I've used garlic mustard for so many dishes. Love this!
It is an incredibly healthy plant that nourishes us!

Thank you so much for being here watching this! I love working with this plant and there is no shortage of it!

He gave us a feast!!! Thank you for your kind comment!
He gave us everything… and look what we did.
It’s too late now restart soon ❤
@@Badm00nrRising we didn't do anything. We were born in our time with no way to change the past.
You can change the future though...
Thanks for sharing some of your abundant knowledge and the very sharp Closeup is truly awesome !

Thank you. Awesome video.👍🙂
Thank you so much Peter and you are welcome!!!!
@@karenstephenson7830 NP. 👍🙂
As always, so much information. I just wish you would be in front of the camera so your subscribers could really get to know you.
This will be happening very soon!!! I have three vids in the works with me in them! :)
@@karenstephenson7830 awesome
Such a beneficial channel.
I try my best to please!
Great info
Thank you!
Looking for uses for the flowers if you have any.
They are too small to work with so just add them to your pestos, hummus, salads, stir fries, sandwiches, etc!!
Thank you, Jesus. I'm noticing I have this plant in my yard.
No way!
thank you You rock!
Oh my - thank you!
Makes great pesto. Very tasty
Yes!!
Are the leaves arranged opposite or alternate? Some shots are showing the leaves to be alternating up the stem.
Alternate!
Burdock look good.

Well stated Steve!
It’s so very sad that it’s harming the butterflies by attracting them to lay eggs on them and release a feeding deterrent that kills the caterpillars…
I have never heard that - do you have a link to this? I'd love to investigate this!

Plants have evolved over eons and this is no different. Nature always balances itself out.

Yes - pick it before those flowers go to seed!!
