Good to see someone talk about something besides the awesome seeds of milk thistle. Thanks!

Wow, that's the biggest patch I've ever seen , looks like a hugulculture mound? Here in CT I found just one plant that had the white stripes but the leaves were narrow . Mostly it's Bull thistle here, which I still love . I have one growing in my living room by a big window. I just use it for tea, but you can eat the wee ones in early spring , the thorns will actually melt in the boil. The one lone (alleged) Milk thistle plant I found, I assume was some sort of subspecies of "real" Milk Thistle. The seed may have come along with whatever they had planted that year at that farm. Fantastic lesson, blew me away , thanks!

I'm going to be looking up the range of milk thistle now... Thanks!

The last time I did milk thistle I juiced the stems. Definitely felt cleansed. More so than celery juice.

Thank you for sharing I have this plant in my yard I’m trying to learn how to use the plants I have growing .

it helps to see you eat it and show how it's done. this entire time i was sure i was going to eat the wrong thing and end up in the ER lol thank you

Why not just cut the spikes off the leaves and eat the whole leaf?

Thanks for the informative video, I was excited to find your channel after watching Alone. I really appreciate your love for the land and how open you are both on the show and this channel. I’m so impressed with your skill set and it inspires me to learn to live more self sufficiently. I’ve only recently (past couple years) become interested in this type of stuff and it often feels overwhelming.

As always very informative

Great job. Thank you

Thanks for sharing. Good to know 😁👍🏼

Awesome!

Thanks for the information! I'm from iraq, my dad own a farm in which he grows wheat.. We have a problem of Milk thistle "invasion" and I was just looking up the internet for any use of these plants.. Thanks again.

Pretty cool. Never seen that before

Great information thank you 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Really good

Thank you for the vid! Was looking at milk thistle to help lower liver enzymes. Wonderful timing ☺️

That's great

You can do that to get just stalks but why? You could also cut off the very edges of the leaves where the spines are and get stalks and leaves. Try that, you get something like a cabbage leaf that is good cooked in a soup.

Thanks for this information. Can I use the leave and drink? How do I use the seeds… How do I use the your purple flower? ❤. Thanks

✨👏🏼♥️👍🏼✨

I bought the seeds. Do you know when to plant them? I am in zone 8. Thank you!

Thanks for the video how can i use the leaves

Amazing madem

Mmmmmm...

So erudite and expertly enunciated so as to be as pithy as possible. Such an excellent speaker and teacher.

I have whole plant...Can I make tea from those leaves?

Very nice, thank you, but that's not how we eat it. You have to eat the whole stamp 😊
