    Something else I haven't heard mentioned yet, it helps A LOT with heartburn/gastric reflux. My wife had to hunt for these flowers when she grew up in the Philippines because she couldn't sleep due to stomach acidity. The blue flower always helped the burning sensation die down. I mentioned this to one of my sisters, who did some chemical analysis of the "tea" and titrated it to prove that it actually is a base, and can reduce the acidity in the stomach. I thought it was pretty cool, and no one else seems to have realized this yet 😄

    I’m amazed by the quality & great content on all these videos! They’ll be fun to revisit while waiting for next spring. My starts never really took off for this flower, but that was my own poor planning, they were shaded out by Luffa & Cucamelon. Next year, I’ll be making sure they get full sun 👍🏼

    Bakers creek says the pods are not edible and possibly toxic.

    • @inchwormgardens
      @inchwormgardens  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I read that too which is why I never eaten them! I bit into one and it was very bitter.. But I've also read that the young, tender pods are edible and only become toxic as the get older. There may be some conflicting info out there 🤷🏻‍♂️ But you're right, I probably should have mentioned that in the video..

    I planted seeds and plants that came out are kinda mixed. I got the usual singles but some are doubles. One plant seemed to have too much petals that it never fully open up unlike the other doubles. Never saw it grew pods like the others. Decided to start hand pollinating it today. Crossing my fingers.

      Hey there! Yes, it should grow fine up there as an annual. You can definitely start it indoors to get a head start on the growing season. I imagine you could grow it indoors if you have the space and enough natural light. It doesn't get very wide but it can grow long and tall! Good luck!

    First of all LOL, that it's named after "a part of the female anatomy." So, scarify is pronounced like "scar" not "scare" but I sure laughed when you said you were going to scare-ify the seeds. On Baker Creek's own TH-cam channel the lady showing how to plant it says it is more sedating than chamomile. I am glad I watched their video because this is the "secret ingredient" used to make blue ramen you may have seen in viral videos in Japan. I was going to show people how to make this blue ramen without knowing it was a sedating plant when I have a heart condition. It is likely one sip could have affected me, I cannot drink one sip of chamomile without getting affected. If they have that info in their TH-cam video they should have a warning on their package. Also, any restaurant serving "blue ramen" should warn people that the "secret ingredient" is a sedative. I'd be pretty upset if I took my dream vacation to Japan to film a food vlog like other TH-camrs have done, and passed out in my bowl of blue ramen.

    • @inchwormgardens
      @inchwormgardens  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh my! That is a great point. Passing out in a plate of ramen would be a pretty terrible experience! I'm going to try making some blue rice soon. I made a simple syrup last year which turned out pretty good. We used it as a cocktail mixer.
      Thanks for the correction. I certainly don't want to SCARE-ify 👻 anybody, haha.
