End of SUMMER??? My word, your place is SO GREEN! Here in No Cal (especially THIS year with this unrelenting heat-even here in the foothills,) everything is brown and dry and lots of things are dead or dying. I have to harvest herbs in the spring/early summer at the latest. You have a beautiful garden! Thanks for the info.
@@MelissaKNorris THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH ❤I WAS ABOUT TO ASK THE SAME BECAUSE HE😅IN SPOKANE WASHINGTON OUR FLOWERS ARE SMALLER TOO, SO NOW I NEED TO MAKE A 2ND PURCHASE FROM STRICTLY MEDICINAL 😊❤
Good morning Melissa 🌻 Thank you for sharing your garden journey❤️🔥 I Love your channel and videos. You are informative, detailed, and always a sweet delivery!
Got a question about leaf harvest on annual’s. With the basil I grow, as soon as it goes to blossom I prune it back to previous node to encourage more growth. Would this encourage more growth of other annuals for medicinal use and extend potential medicinal harvest?
That is a very different variety of Mullein than what I have. Mine has much thicker flower stalks, but much smaller flowers. I have to harvest my flowers with tweezers and there's no way I'm getting any of the base of the flower.😔
Is your mullein from the wild, or is it a cultivar? The mullein that grows wild here in Michigan doesn’t bloom as profusely as yours, and the flowers smaller. Does the wild mullein in the Pacific Northwest look different? Perhaps a different variety? Or does it just look different because it has less competition from other plants? I gather mine from wild plants that grow in my hedgerows. I’m rather suspicious of cultivars, because sometimes the medicinal properties of those plants have been bred out of them in favor of more ornamental flowers, or such as in the case of food plants, the ability to withstand shipping. If they look like that just by being grown in a garden, I’m going to save seeds from my wild plants and plant them in my garden!

Hey! I have that sweatshirt!
Wow, I am just loving the view behind you @5:38.
Mrs. Melissa can you please share what variety of Mullein you are growing Please. My common Mullein doesn't get flowers as large as yours Mam.
This is common mullein, verbascum thapsus. I originally got it from Strictly Medicinal Seeds

In regards to what?
Do you wash any of your medicinal herbs after harvesting and before drying them or using them fresh?
