april 2024 Study of an Elder Tree and its properties Berry in between illnesses best us Flower best acute illness bark, leaf, root, all used but not in my practice Plant evolution mentioned - trees top of the heap and invasive weeds called pioneers the bottom level

april 2024 patterns of water flowing naturally Watercress = one of the most nutritious "weeds" almost anywhere with water flows and full of Glutathione" pre-cursors = sulfur thiols

April 2024 This one is loaded with so many plants to look at! Road side drainage area with a hillside of Cal Buckeye tress, Oaks, and Elder Angelica - Cow Parsnip Figwort Radishes Mustard Cal Buckeye tree Cleavers Miners Lettuce Thistles Circulation of the Earth and Humans

April 2024 Yellow dock The Dock family Earth's F U plants - like Thistles Soil Purifiers Baby Nettle cutie Edible grasses and strange weeds appearing - dropped from planes?

April 2024 Astounding plant! This is related to Hollyhock = the Malva or Mallow family. THE BEST herb for soothing slime when that raspy throat from coughing and irritated membranes and lungs = this thing is loaded with slime LOL. Tea good, chew up good, but warm soothing tea best - squeeze well all the slime out. And our local weed version, this one I cropped the photo to show how tiny the flowers are - leaves, flowers, and root all helpful for those dry membranes and its FREE!

april 2024 As our day went this was right after the horsetail video blurb This plant is a MAJOR nutrient source, from protein, to blood building to helpful for many things like gout/uric acid and menstrual bleeding management - list goes on and on

april 2024 When and why to harvest horsetail = major silica rich herb with different properties when used fresh and or fresh plant tincture vs dried. Nettles also featured, this is a short one focused on horsetail

OK jokes on everyone! This is a lovely and unusual tree branch that has pre flower bud, full flower, further along full flower, and young seeds. VERY strange

Watershed downstream = gotta know whats upstream? Contaminants Natural filters of Earth Plant water purifiers mentioned - study with me to find them out

Nettles and the "kitchen sink pot" with edibles amazing growth Dandelions in shade vs sun New sprouts - just getting started: Ashitaba Poppy Nettles Chickweed Miners Lettuce Scullcap VERY happy starting from last years root stock

Part 4 At a local State Park the lovely medicine and free food was mowed down - why? Convenience? Stinging nettle liability? Want clean edges? Any way you slice it this is a metaphor of Modern Human degeneration and ignorance. Food forest mowed down _profoundly affected my day and lots of grief for the Green People's murder Mustard greens and flowers Solution/s? I'll keep posting and teaching state park workers and those who hear the message of free and abundant medicine. Big Pharma and their media love the idea of victims addicted to toxic poisons - feeding poisons to correct the reactions of starvation of nutrients and proper living

Part 3 This is a view through "the tunnel of trees" and more pioneer band-aids More larger sun filled radihes with less water on slope = further along Hemlock skeletons Nasturtium leftovers that never died from last year = very strange and without precedent much Willow blooms Water play with nasturtium greens Cliffs and pioneer radishes grasses and some ocean and beach shots

Part 2 of the Feb plant walk Cal Buckeye - Horsechestnut in dormancy but note the strong dendritic pattern of "circulation" which this plant helps with Angelica sp - think this one is called Cow Parnsnip? Cleavers - amazing young and tender stitching in the Earth Forget Me Nots - Monica says is edible - I dismissed it due to time but please look this one up yourself! Thistle - this is milk thistle and the greens as good as the seeds for liver support! Chickweed compare to the video of the video posted about it on this channel Miners lettuce salad bowl lovely tender tasty greens Green juices, Iodine, Borax water dilution are cheap and effective means to boost immunity, support organs, and possibly repair from the U NO WHAT en-jek-shun

Mainly this is plant ID and another month of same location seeing the life cycle of the plants and Gaia Nettles - what was once thriving 20 years ago now Ivy and Periwinkle choking it out Radish greens - very under rated alkaline green! Hemlock = be careful and is related to carrot! Death and Life Cold Damp Dark is the Mother of life Mallows Periwinkle - Vinca genus has some uses but is a semi toxic very low dose plant

Jan 23 2024 A simple plant that follows me where I go This lovely red Amaranth ornamental was volunteer a few years ago and when I moved it did not make the trip But I prayed it might be in the compost and once the compost bin I brought up here settled and walla! this lovely popped up this year just outside the compost buckets The Stages of compost from simple kitchen scraps and mulch is all I use and some dirt if there are too many flies and yucky bugs and smell The composted soil consistently has more moisture retention in it THIS IS HOW YOU BUILD GARDEN SOIL AND STAY IN THE LOOP OF LIFE

This was the video comparison to the Winter Chickweed January Hillside one This was made in August 2023 The vervain was in the process of dying and a little water and love and it regenerated NOTE the brown and dry = we had some hot summer days here

Jan 23 2024 Compare this to the next video called August Barren Hillside Vervain Victory Purpose is the notice the difference a little effort can make and how much a place can change

Jan 29 2024 Michael Tierra and Matthew Woods uses in their experience and research of this plant Readings from their books and chapters on this plant They both match up with Part One Herbalpedia and my own limited use of this plant I've been scared to use it due to its strong bitter taste and lack of strong recent history But if one looks, like I do, one can have the plants tell us and this one has been in my consciousness for weeks now to get its story out there Plant Whisperer stuff - I MUST do their bidding

Jan 29 2024 In this part we cover the uses in The Herbalpedia by Maureen Rogers It's uses are so many it is hard to nail down just a few things but here they are: epilepsy menstrual issues menopause nerve and endocrine exhaustion Liver issues Skin issues Lymph swelling Stones of bladder and bladder issues IT IS CALLED "STIFF NECK REMEDY" AND IS SPECIFIC FOR TENSION IN THE NECK, ARMS AND SHOULDERS AND UPPER BACK THIS IS A COOLING AND BITTER PLANT AND BEST USED FOR THOSE WHO ARE DRIVEN AND DO NOT GIVE UP TO THE POINT OF EXHAUSTION This plant has uses for parasites, and colds/flus, and overall cleanser of waste

Brief intro to why I am posting about this plant and its importance to our ancestors VERY important and useful plant on many levels

Jan 20 2024 I grow plants in part to see how they adapt There are a few in this video that should not be growing but are? Why? Gravel root dormancy Fennel new life Artichoke sleeping still Gynostemma new life = never seen in January Yarrow is amazing even in a pot
