Honeysuckle Harvest & Garden Jobs
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2023
- Harvesting Honeysuckle today as she is another healing plant to gather for winter ailments.This is just one of my current garden jobs - along with many others. Details from last week's festival are in the box below along with some information about Danu's Irish Herb Garden.
The festival was in Co. Cavan - drummanyspirit.com/
The band I referred to was www.thehollawmen.com/
I bought my print from Claire Falconer at www.clairefalconer.com/
If you would like to know more about what we get up to here at Danu's Irish Herb Garden take a look at the website - www.danusirishherbgarden.com/
I love herbs and I love to teach and pass on any knowledge so if you also like herbs consider taking my Intro to Herbal Medicine course
www.danusirishherbgarden.com/...
You might prefer to do a healing transpersonal course, finding Plant Allies and celebrating the Celtic Wheel of the Year. Find out more here, www.danusirishherbgarden.com/...
Honeysuckle is in Volume 2 of The Weed Handbooks and you can find both books here - www.danusirishherbgarden.com/...
I would just like to say that I really appreciate everyone's comments and I love to read them all - but this last week I have been unable to reply to them all, so apologies.
Many thanks for watching and have a great week. xx

The garden took care of itself! It wants to thrive ! It may miss you, but it will be happy when you return!
So true, we do not need drink and drugs. The alternative of like minded people, music and healing and creativity is the real deal. ❤
Most definitely xx
Our garden is our solace to this unpredictable world.
I used dehydrated honeysuckle in teas to give a natural honey taste. Today I’m straining oils for winter balms then filling more tea bags with herbs. My daughter married yesterday. I was able to gift the ladies with lavender balm and teas per the lavender theme fresh from my garden. Thank you for everything you share teaching us. I’m so sorry for your loss. As you know the spirit of our loved ones is with us always. I could feel my deceased mother at the wedding and even my step father said he could feel her there. ❤ My friend found 2 kindred spirit fairs we can attend next month - so excited! They’re very good for rejuvenating the soul! 😊
Sounds wonderful Samantha xx
Gardening keeps you sane. I’ve been totally refurbishing my colonial herb garden for the umpteenth time. Now I’m retired I can. Making it a home for all life. Watching you me in check. All the wood around the raised beds rotted and very little original plants left except coltsfoot and bedstraw. Wood cleared and a lifetime of weeds and brambles, and hundreds of worms kept me company. Sending sympathy and empathy.
Sounds like good rich soil! xx
I agree ,,, there is so much jasmine i, it I s a pest I
cannot get rid of it , but it’s a herb 🌿 it is overwhelming all the same ,,,
I have to say I believe those have to be the most content dogs …you can see they love the land …I love your garden and yes I can feel your challenges of the garden ..never ending but incredibly fulfilling…it’s like I just blinked my eyes and WEEDS WERE EVERYWHERE…so now that autumn has finally arrived after months of temps in the upper 90s to wake in the early morning and feel the coolness as I go into the garden I’m humbled at life…all of its ups and downs in the garden but progress evolving in food production so satisfying …soon to pick the three different sweet potatoes…foods for life …with volunteers around every corner…one thing about going off to engage with others like minded …you come home with a renewed purpose and knowledge of other joys to explore…learning each and every day ..always stay open to new paths on the road of life new explorations they make you the soul you become along the journey..stay safe ..rested and blessed each day my friend…love is a garden❤️❤️❤️
You are right about learning each day and remaining open - then life is always full of lovely surprises xx
That is a lot of jobs! Nature loves to spread, but you have an abundance of everything you could possibly need.
I do indeed. I love it all! xx
My condolences to you and Lol and your children and extended family especially Lol's mother. 🕊
That is so kind of you - thank you xx
Thank You Terri and Lol for this lovely film!! Hard yet blessed work for this week 😊 i also feel that working in the garden is the Best !!!!! ❤
You're welcome Cristina xx
So glad you got to go do that last weekend. Food for the soul.! I had a friend who had a store called Aquarius Sancturary. It had all kinds of books and crystals and gifts. I worked there and one year she had a healing festival and it was outside. I've never felt more me, than at the festival. I worked our little booth and it was magical. It was like I was with my tribe at a family reunion. so I totally get it. hug.
Good day Terri
I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your father in law. My condolences. I just lost my Dad last week. It was shocking and sudden so we are still processing. So needless to say there has been a huge shift in my life. Spiritually and physically. I am honored to be taking over my parents 80 acres with my husband and the support of my mom. We will do something on the property to bring it's beauty back. I'm looking forward to our new chapter. I may document it all and some start a TH-cam channel.
Kind regards
July of Canada 🇨🇦
Condolences on the death of your father July - sorry to hear and I hope you are all treating each other gently. Lots of luck with the 80 acres, I'm sure you will do wonders with it. xx
Such a joy to see all the animals and healthy plants. Oh yes so much work, but soon enough winter will do some of it for you. 🍀💚
I always love strolling through your beautiful garden! You have perfectly created exactly what I dream of!
I am so grateful to you, for sharing your knowledge, and your wonderful spaces with us! Thank you, both!
Greetings from Texas, USA.
❤
That is wonderful to hear. Thanks xx
A happy Sunday to you.. I remember as a child being at my grandmothers and we would pick the honeysuckle flowers and suck the nectar out. You brought back a wonderful memory. My grandmother had a garden like yours. Flowers, fruits and vegetables were always available..... if we helped with the harvesting ! Green blessings and love being sent. 💜🌱🐾🐾🐾💜
And Many Happy Returns to you Marilyn xx
Terri you look lovely with your beautiful scarf. Everything looks full of life🍃. The festival looked wonderful!! Have a peaceful and nurturing day and night ☀️🌙. Thank you!
Aw thanks Barbara. Hoping all is peaceful with you too xx
dear Terri..........................my Akkus are full..................last week I was in Ireland for another great Holiday............it was my REHA.....................my heart is healing in this atmosphere..........Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany.......xx☘☘☘
Wonderful Daggy! More heart healing for everyone xx
Coffee & your video make my Sunday morning bright. Thank You.
Aw - thanks! Happy to hear that xx
I love all the different outfits you put together for the videos. I especially liked your head scarf this week.
Glad to hear you had such a lovely time at the festival. It is definitely good to have work to do in the garden even when there’s a lot of it. As you said, it keeps us healthy and sane. Thank you for taking us along on the walk around your garden!
Glad you enjoyed the stroll xx
I appreciate all your videos. There is such a warm loving energy 🎉that flows from them ❤ And we learn from you. Thank you to you and your husband for all your time and effort 🎉
Thank you so much!
Beautiful ❤️ I am so happy you had a wonderful time at your Festival ❤️ Blessings to you dear Terri 🌺🌺🌺
Gardening restores the soul! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome! xx
The Festival you attended last week sounds wonderful and I enjoyed the shorts you posted. I love the variety and abundance in your garden. I like to make lists because it's satisfying when you can cross things off and realize how much you have accomplished. Blessings xx
Thank you so much! That's why I like to make those lists, for the satisfaction😂
Well, you look wonderful!! Glad you had a chance to enjoy and relax 🌻
Thank you for sharing your garden with us
My pleasure xx
I really look forward to your posts. Thank you very much, Danu. Have a wonderful Sunday. ❤️ 🙏
Thank you Salome! xx
As a child when there was a list of projects looming. I was told to start small finish that first project bask in it being completed that this gives you the positive energy to move to the next. You just keep doing this until the list is done. It always worked.
That's what I aim to do, thanks for the reminder xx
Boy! You needed that healing service this year!❤
Yes, it was just right! xx
You sound like me. Realizing winter is coming and I have huge to do list! Everytime I go out I find more jobs need doing. Yes all the rain really made some plants grow like crazy.
I do love the light this time of year - so soft and magical. Have a great week.
Lots of mists and mellow mornings xx
Hi Terri. Well I really needed that film. I’ve been very lazy over the past few days as my garden has begun to overwhelm me again. You’ve really given me a boost to just get out there and enjoy it one job at a time. Like you I’ve always found writing a list of things to do really helps. It’s so satisfying when you can tick each job off. Yay!! Love & thanks for all your inspiration. Naomi x
You are so welcome Naomi xx one job at a time and enjoy!
I understand how being outside and busy working in and around the yard is fulfilling and rejuvenating 🥰 it’s nice to know there are still people who realize this and enjoy it!
Oh yes! What else could you do?? xx
Your videos are so wonderfully uplifting😊💖 Just take your time while working in your garden, going from task to task, so that you can enjoy every moment in each space as this year winds down to rest ♥️ What needs to get done, will always find a way to be done😊💖😁 Your property is a place of love & healing 🌱 🌿
You are so right. A bit at a time and stop worrying about it - thanks xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden 💖💖
The festival sounds magical and I am glad you got to experience it. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge again this week. From Wisconsin
Thanks for watching! xx
Hello to you both, great video, I agree the spurts of growth this year keep us busy. I have a honeysuckle in my front garden that is on its 3 rd flowering of the year so far it overhangs along my fence neighbours comment on the lovely fragrance as they pass by it's quite a soothing plant to have the bees are still enjoying pollinating it. I have plenty to be getting on with in the back garden too. It's lovely watching the sunlight playing through the trees and the small birds flying through the Willows.Long may it continue, peaceful havens are so worth the time and effort, it's lovely to be able to watch your video's Hugs&Blessings to you both.💚🌹
You re right, so much beauty. Beannachtaí! xx
💚🌹🙏
Good morning beautiful lady! Thank you for sharing your journey ✌️💞🤟
Thank you for watching xx
Lovely to see you again this week, I can relate to all the jobs that need to be done in the garden at this time of year, I wish you well and look forward to seeing your film next week, all the best.
Thank you! You too! xx
Hello 😊 you looked well rested after your week at the festival, It's nice being around kind people, I hope you get all of your jobs done, have a lovely week, sorry you have had some personal troubles in your family, god bless 😊 xx
Thank you! 😊 All good here now xx
Beautiful film and garden. Veritas is a great word. Happy gardening
Thanks Wendy. Viriditas was the word, sorry for mumbling. A word coined by Hildegard of Bingen meaning the green spirit in all things xx
Just beautiful ❤️ Have a wonderful week , thank you 🙏 😊❤
May your energy level grow to meet the need of the garden to be worked. It is a task but it is also a joy for sure. Seeing headway being made is a tonic for the soul.
Thank you Karen - you are a wise woman! xx

If its not a harsh winter there then theres space & time to get the jobs done, summer is for enjoying and doing some jobs to make way...i love it 😊.
I remember when i was little,my eldesr sister used to bring her friends to get mums acre and a half garden into a bit of order,camping in tents,bonfire at the end of the day...dampers,the flour dough and jam...loved my childhood❤❤❤ xxx
Of course. Your childhood sounds wonderful xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden it was brilliant😁adulthood not so much😅❤
Lovely film 📽️ You are wonderful. Have a good week. 🌿🌙💚
I love learning with you! I have shared with my family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you xo
Thanks for sharing!! Xx
Thank you for the beautiful tour of your garden! So good to see you again. I just got back to the U.S., from a visit to the U.K., traveling from London; to along the west coast northward to the Isle of Skye; and back down the east coast to London. Absolutely beautiful, especially Scotland and the Isle of Skye.
Sounds wonderful. My husband loves the Scottish Highlands and islands and is determined we visit one day . Glad you enjoyed it all too xx
I just found honeysuckle in my yard this year. I lived here for 22 years and it wasnt ever here and apparently it volunteered 😂. I noticed it because of the scent..so lovely
Oh wow! Lucky you xx
I look honeysuckle, it smells beautiful, I love your garden it always makes me feel calm,
Glad to hear that xx
What a delightful video.I adore nature in all its glory and your pets enjoying the beauty.
Being in Australia it's almost spring solstice and it's already hot.
Planting vegetables and butterfly friendly flowers. Thank you for the inspiration and beautiful messages. Savour the lush beauty
Glad you enjoyed it xx
Greetings Terri ..wow Your place is so full of Wonders . As I have mentioned we live IN Native bush with huge Tree Beings , which we feel look after us as We are their Guardians ...but I would love to have more space to grow Vegetables, Herbs and more Flowers . Our tiny driveway garden at the road end is pretty full and we have even put a tiny garden around a tree in the little park across the road for the Bees to enjoy and to grow a few more Herbs for the Community to share.May just have to sneak in a few more small beds x
I have an entire plant nursery that has been neglected and we are in the middle of a construction project, so I totally empathize with your predicament. I could use a holiday like that, but around here they are pretty superficial when they have meets. Mostly party and wannabees who are just lost out there somewhere, LOL. A list is also hard because it seems endless. I used to use a chalk board so I could erase things without seeing the scribble out on the page, LOL.
You look creatively invigorated by your time away with your inspirational tribe❣️🌱🌳🐦⬛💜🌿🍂🪺🍄🍀
I am! Yay! xx hope all well with you xx
Hi Terri🤗 I didn't know the wonderful things about honeysuckle. Thank you!
Blessings
I love seeing the dogs run free. How often do you check them for ticks? Do they ever eat anything from your garden? What kinds of remedies do you use for their health? I’d love to see an episode on wholistic dog care.
Hi Terri! I love Honeysuckle. It blooms in Texas in the spring and in the fall. I made my first tincture this spring, so exciting. Have a great week! Blessings
Blessings to you too xx
Getting ready to head up into the mountains for water; I'm watching/listening to your video and just hearing about your wknd sounds great. Can't wait to be in the mtns today. There's a village resort down below but I usually avoid it til after dark when the tourists have gone away and it's just the villagers left and the beautiful mtn sheep, rams and deer lounging about. The lake at the edge of the village that melts into the mtn ranges into the USA reached only by tour boat (absolutely lovely ride. Im here on the canadian side ). Have a great day. 🏵 🌼
I totally understand what you are saying. Enjoy your mountain time xx
Hello, Terri. I'm so happy I watched your video. I recently bought an English honeysuckle plant and to see how yours is flowering brought me great joy! I watched all the way through to see what you were going to make with the honeysuckle but you didn't make anything. However, you did mention that you can infuse the flowers into honey and I found that to be a good bit of information. It's so amazing what you have done there with your garden and I can't believe how lush everything appears. The soil must be abundant with good things and the rain must fall regularly. Lucky you! Anyway, I won't go on. Be blessed and thank you for your lovely videos.
I feed the soil and I feel very fortunate. Blessings xx
When we bought our property it had 1 redbud and 4 old maples (2 of which we had to cut down alongside the redbud due to ice storm damage). Anyway, the space isn't massive...around 70 feet by 100 feet. We have transplanted 16 junipers, more lilacs and other goodies than I could count! 2 more maples, 2 redbuds, and raspberries happened to sprout in the perfect places.
Between all of that and the herb, veg, and flower beds it can really become an abundance of work. I have divided the outdoor areas of my place into rooms. I have found it helps me tackle one task at a time.
Your gardens are lovely!
Our garden also has "rooms" - it just happened and does make things a bit easier. xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden, the previous owners here seemed to really like short grass. Not really my style. Those juniper trees, by the way, all sprouted in my front flower beds near the house. Nature will reclaim its land!
Thanx for the information about the honeysuckle, I have harvested them as well and now I find out they are exactly what I need for my over-heated metabolism. Good luck with your long list of gardenwork 💚
So nice of you, thanks xx
Good morning Terri Your looking good I'm sure you will get all your jobs sorted. Have a great day. Godbless ❤
Godbless Bernadette. I will get them all done. xx
That's just like when I go out to make a list of jobs in the garden. There's no notebook big enough to hold the list 😂. I've decided to work on a little area at a time and just enjoy myself x
That's the best way. xx
❤❤❤ love your garden 😊
New camera I suspect, the images are even more wonderful than usual 🥰
Thanks for this fabulous greenery ❤🙏🏻🍀
Glad you enjoyed it - same camera but the light in Connemara is something special and changes every day. xx
Ah lovely thank you. I have always loved honey suckle. Thank you so much for sharing xx
So beautiful where you are. Thanks.
Ahhh the work…lots to do this time of year…but it’s wonderful isn’t it! Be well…thank you so much for your videos - I love them very !🙏🏼
Thank you so much xx
It's all so beautiful
Have a great weekend 😊
Thank you - I am xx
My condolences on your loss
Thank you so much xx
🩷 my honeysuckle blossoms sometimes only have just a drop of "honey" inside.
As a kid (& even now) I would pick a blossom, then holding the flower with one hand & with the other hand I'd gently pinch the little green bulb at the end, making sure to not pinch through the little "string" inside; then, I'd pull out the drop and taste it. SO sweet. 😁 😋
Such happy childhood memories. xx
Wonderful visit with you; thanks for sharing! My lists keep growing as well, but all things in balance, is my motto. I’ve had wonderful harvests of apples & herbs to dry. The sharing of your knowledge is so appreciated! Blessings to everyone 🤗💕🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing!! xx
Thanks Terri you look totally glowing after all your healing. You have give me the kick i need to get and tidy our allotment which is large and i have neglected this year, so will get down and get it ready for next year Enjoy the week ahead Love to you xxx
It's great that we can inspire each other. You saying that has given me a push too! xx
You've inspired to get my notebook & go out to my garden! 😊
Those notebooks are so handy!😂
Thank you so much for sharing about the festival. So glad you took time for self care. Enjoy your content immensely. Keep raising the vibe. 🕉
Thank you so much! xx
So pleased you enjoyed your festival visit . Good luck with the gardening, we're busy clearing up leaves daily from all the distressed trees due to the heat and drought.......happily it's down to mid 20s now and we've had two lots of rain 😀
Thanks so much Mary. Hope things cool down now for you so you can enjoy a gentle Autumn xx
It's so interesting Terri in New Zealand Honey Suckle is treated as a weed. It grows all year round and can choke other plants. I pulled out hundreds of plants. At the time I didn't know the medicinal side of Honey Suckle.
I would love to know more how to turn it into medicine for winter chills. Thank you Terri I so enjoy your films and learn.❤ Yolanda
I can't wait to see the garden next week. Thank you for everything, Terri. Lowell's camera work is delightful!
Thank you so much! xx
Love your knowledge network on plants, the melody, your doggies, your growing trees, your beautiful Irish accent, sharing the festivities around the countryside, the excellent photography and lastly the wonderful guitarist. It is such a gift. Thank you from Canada.
So thrilled to hear that. Thanks so much x
I love your garden Terri! A lot of work, but I can see it brings so much joy and peace... thank you for sharing it with us 😊 Have a great week xx Maria from Australia
It really does bring joy and peace, you are right xx
Did I enjoy the film? You bet Terri loved the rampant growth...it looked magical fecund...the honeysuckle reminded me that at some point mine must have died ...I used to have one. So ta for the memory, am off to buy a replacement, fancy not having honeysuckle...hugs to all 😊
My great grandma put honey suckle in her homemade soap 😊
Some of our inventive orchardists, gardeners for big box store trees - braid up the non-figging fig trees and they merge and then create a stronger trunk growth. Maybe that mock orange can be done the same way, and have a strong upright trunk, versus all of the many up-sprouts (water sprouts ?, air sprouts ?) and get a really beautiful canopy bush-tree there.
Good suggestion! Thanks!
Our Heavenly Father has given us all herbs and leaves for healing. So many turn to prescription drugs which I believe are killing us . ✝️
What a nice video this week. It was great hearing about your experience at that wonderful gathering last weekend. It is nice to get another welcome look at your beautiful garden/yard. Like you I've been very busy getting things done in the garden, harvesting fruit, dead heading flowers, gathering more seed, digging potatoes, etc. etc. I also have a lot of horseradish growing in quite a few areas of my garden and yard. Please tell us in a later video about how you make fire cider with your horseradish. So much to do at this time of year. Like you said, it is good to be busy, enjoying our gardens and space. I agree, all this is a great tonic. You have kale in your garden like I do, lots of volunteers as those plants seed themselves so well. I managed to get all my pears picked, apples too, though the apples aren't really ready. I was competing with a sow black bear with her two cubs as well as another adult black bear that was camping out here until the fruit got picked. Now I'm busy canning pears along with the rest of the harvest that is coming in on a daily basis. Enjoy the rest of September. Cheers!
I will make some Fire Cider and make a vide and I have to collect apples too. Lots of brassicas for over winter and turnips and potatoes. So exciting at this time of year to see exactly what is there for harvest. Enjoy your September too xx.
Lovely video Terri~ cheers to hard work in the garden. I do feel your same overwhelm. I have an area that I plan on putting some shrubs and medicinal plants including a Hawthorn and Elderberry shrub (thanks to you!) Lots of digging in clay soil so I’ve been procrastinating. Now that the weather has cooled I have no more excuses ~ it’s fall planting time! Hope you have a peaceful and productive week🌿~ Monica
You can do it! One bit at a time xx
Very interesting garden you have. I didn't know about the honey suckles. I hope you show us how to use them. Wow , you have a lot of work to do. I love the forest look. thanks
Thank you💚🌱💚
So beautiful especially the shot of your little dog at the beginning of your video and all the green and alive I can almost smell the honeysuckle. I’m half a world away and yet I’m blessed to be able to watch and learn and spend this time Terri. Do you have Meadowsweet that grows there? It is wonderful as a sun tea. If you do have it growing there could you possibly talk about meadowsweet and how you use it? You look energized and rejuvenated. Taking time for yourself is so important and the festival was I’m sure a positively incredible time to soak up shared fellowship with like minded people. I never knew honeysuckle was something to be harvested and utilized in the garden. I look forward to seeing you every week and catching up on what you’re up to. Blessed be 😊🌱🍃✨
Yes we have Meadowsweet too. Blessings! xx
I am amazed at the abundant growth and variety in your garden. Here in New Brunswick, Canada, East Coast we have had a very humid and rainy summer. My garden grew leggy and no fruit or vegetables. I am more talented in landscaping - adding shrubs, flowers and trees, I just don't seem to have the green thumb for vegetable gardens :( I will continue to try. Did my first raised bed, my seeds and transplants grew well in the beginning then became so leggy, nothing produced. My potatoes are probably mush under the muddy soil with so much rain. Love your videos, don't panic about the work. Like yu said, its great to be able to get out in the sunshine and Gaia's plenty.
Well you have your strengths and skills and talents and the vegetables can look after themselves. xx
I like you're channel so much. I learned a lot watching the video's. Thank you and keep on going! 😉. Greetings from the Netherlands
Thanks for watching! xx
Loved the tour of your lovely land this morning. Wish I was there to help you with some of your garden chores. It always goes quicker with a friend 😊. What was thay magnificent dark purple-ish strappy plant behind you at about 11:55 in the video?
I live across the pond in the U.S. and I always enjoy seeing our common plants, as well as the plants that you grow that I'm not familiar with. I was interested to see that you are harvesting honeysuckle blossoms now. The honeysuckle that happily volunteers in my garden is Lonicera japonica. It blooms earlier here. I harvest the flowers and buds in the late spring/early summer, right before the roses start blooming. It is one of my favorite garden tasks/play with the pollinators buzzing on the blooms, the warmth of the air, and the thoroughly intoxicating scent. Sigh ... so perfect.
Thank you again for your Sunday videos. I always enjoy them while I sip on my morning hot brew.
PS - The Rosa rugosa that I just purchased, inspired by the enormous rose hips in your syrup video, arrived last week. Excited to see how it grows in my garden.
The Honeysuckle that we have here just grows wild - I think it must be the common Honeysuckle, Lonicera periclymenum. The plant in the video is a purple New Zealand Flax. xx
Interesting information on honeysuckle! It grows wild here in Idaho and is the State's official flower. I've only ever nipped off the end and sipped a wee, sweet treat. Next spring I'll gather some and infuse it in honey as suggested. Also, native here is Black Hawthorn with similar heart- and artery-healing properties. The abundance in your garden is blessed indeed! And, a lot of work to maintain, as well. Ah...the gifts of Nature! How blessed we are and how grateful, too.
We certainly are😃
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden 💝
The best , thank you
the rains of Autumn are here
Seem to be starting here too xx
