We bought our house 5 1/2 years ago. Infestation of this weed from hell started last summer. I am a full-time caregiver to my husband who is blind and has heart failure and dementia. I don’t have time to be pulling up this horrible weed all spring and summer. Our house is a nursing home. I am administration, dietary, purchasing, physical therapy, social activities, laundry, housekeeping. I’m about to lose my mind.

I do the exact same thing, kinda sorta. Yes, tastes grassy, but also I dehydrate thin lemon and orange (Cuties) slices and plunk a couple in with the leaves. I also add a pinch of dried mint. Gives the tea a bit more character. I have damaged lungs from Covid, so this actually seems to help. Plus, I heard that with mullein's antiviral properties, smoked, it can perhaps aid after some random social exposure. Also easy to grow your own. If you don't have a garden or yard, find a local roadside spot that your county doesn't spray or mow, and plant some seeds. Check on them in the summer. Spritz the plant with a food safe product used for cleaning organic produce, and enjoy.

These are so pretty. Just my opinion, but I'd rather have a yard full of 'weeds' than only grass. I love to walk among the flowers, and bees, and butterflies, and dragonflies. I'm glad I live out in the country.

Dodnt know you could eat it ! My last house my garden was absolutely full of it and I would spend hours pulling it out. I hated the damned thing so much

With a name like feverfew it must be good for something Oh. It's written as feverfew.

I don't think I've seen that one before. Maybe it doesn't grow in New Zealand

Juniper GD

I actually went out and harvested some to add to my elderberry cordial😎while I watched this. Thank you for introducing your family to us😀

I have read that you can grow regular lettuce and let it go to seed you can harvest it and get similar benefit as with wild lettuce.

Min 3:08 made me laugh 😂

It isnt invasive

??? Can you dry it in a dehydrator? Lowest setting of course, thanks for all your info and sharing.

For the mistress -- eczema in your case is aggravated by consuming too much Wood vibration foods. Burdock is Wood vibration, so not a good choice. Try doing a calendula flower tea instead. Calendula is Metal vibration, and the mnemonic is: Metal chops Wood.❤❤

We call it “Sticky Willy” in Scotland

Brewing some black raspberry leaves up right now! Thanks for the knowledge.

What a beautiful flower! Can't wait to check out the longer video!

Good Grief!!!! This is the BEST explanation and description of all the videos I've seen. I let each of these plants grow wild on my property. Finally, I can discern which is which!! Thank you so much!! Subscribed!

Best harvest leaves in its second year before it goes to flower! Or in the Fall on first year plant ...

I don't find much around here. So, I pulled some and planted it in some containers last year. It's not growing very fast

the bitter is the medicinal

I’ve used Mullein for migraines. All I did was take some dried leaves and boil them in water, using a wooden spoon to press on them to get the green out of the leaves and into the water. I used no measurements at all. I added honey because it was so strong tasting. It worked wonders on my headache.

Thank you I have literally in my small backyard. Found 12 healthy edible herbs, including black plantain. Why aren’t we foraging more in the US? Thanks for the information.

it would have been better if you showed the two differences with the baby plants. those old plants are no good once they flower, good for only birds.

I'm going to walk my 10 acres and see if I have any growing on my property! Thanks for the video! Can it be dried and used as a tea? Or in capsules?

Also the pollen can cause a virus on wild pear trees as it happen to my wild pear which caught an orange prickly substance on the small pears which had spread on part of the branches too. Something to check if it is a true cause the pollen caused by the berry juniper produced.

I planted feverfew seeds in a wildflower patch in my garden in 1995. It grew well and when the next spring time rolled around, I could see that the feverfew plants had seeded around the garden and into a few of my clay flower pots. Those flower pots moved with me to a new location, and then four subsequent locations I’d moved to. Each year, the plants spread their seeds around my yard and into all of my outdoor flower pots, with hundreds of plants popping up around the garden. Now in 2024, I’m seeing the 29th generation of those original plants. Feverfew is so beautiful, hardy, drought tolerant, and (obviously!) a vigorous self-seeder! I’m always grateful for them because seeing those little starts each spring makes me feel connected and also takes down memory lane, thinking back on the trajectory of my life over all these decades. Seeing them each spring brings me peace…they are like dedicated friends, hanging in there with me through the seasons of my life. It’s beautiful to have a physical, living touchstone to my life from 30 years ago.

Black seed oil topical

Dehydrating them and mixing them into tobacco lowers the burning temp to a cigarette...

Splintery hairs on the berries. Filter well

Found a HUGE grove of them in the park. My brother and I are going to harvest them in a month. You can soak them to make the sumac lemonade, or you can dry and grind them to make a zesty seasoning or use as a dried tea.

Just made my first tincture with self heal I grew from seed because I couldn't find any around here. I'm very proud!

Yes! It works grate for stiffness and relaxation in my neck and back.

Try something else...

I really appreciate the very comprehensive video. All other videos I've seen left me with unanswered questions and this video "LITERALLY EXPLAINS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO IDENTIFY THIS WONDERFUL PLANT

SKÅL

Is there red veining on the curly dock stems?

I had an Aunt in Italy who would harvest the smaller leaves and make a batter with flour, salt, pepper and a beer, batter and deep fry the leaves and place a piece of mozzarella in a leaf along with an anchovy and place another leaf on top and make little sandwiches with them. They were awesome!

Can you boil the leaves that have not been dried? Is it useful that way?

I'm Oregonian, born and raise and run into these whenever I go on hikes. They are my favorite berry on the planet, but SO delicate! I would LOVE to make a jam out of them, but I doubt it's possible for the reasons stated at the end of this video.

Those are some wonky measurements.

I love this video thank you for the information :)

My husband’s mom used to blow her cigarette smoke in his ears when he had earaches as a kid. He had bad bad ear issues when he was little. He’s almost 50 now. So it makes me curious if this was where some would get confused and think any type of smoke blown in an ear would cure it. Rather than just mullein smoke.

He can anyone mix those up? Odd

I munch on a few leaves raw once in a while while gathering it

I got sow thistle in my yard but it's hard for me to tell if it's the toxic one or not. 😅

I spent the day removing a patch of Mullein from my Montana property. They’re an invasive species and hard to get rid of because the seeds can survive over 100 years. The key is to pull them in the spring of their second year as the stalk makes it easy. The first year Mullein requires some shovel work to loosen the soil. I did two front bucket loads full on the tractor and took them down to the burn pile.

Know what works even better than catnip? Benzos.

When plucking off all the leaves at once from the stems, go the opposite way that they are angled. (ground-wards/down) Rather than a struggle, they will snap off easily and be less damaged.
