I've been seeing them grow wild in places and i didn't think they grew wild. Felt like a message because they are also used to be a gift to help one getting through a hard time and sorrow, helps to give love through those times. Also has symbolism of a childs devotion to their mom. All of this can relate and the bright orange lillies are unmistakable and a surprise that they grew wild on a few trails I've been on. Would be fun to try using them

Good presentation, ma'am. I keep having to move my daylilies, too. I love them, especially the "tiger"lilies from my childhood. I transplanted some to the impossible-to-mow slope near the road, hopeless they will take over some year...! I have eaten some while out and about doing outside chores, but they never seem to make it inside, much like the asparagus. Now that we're finally fencing the property, I'm going to grow some nearer the house, probably to edge the old herb garden.

Thank you! The old recipe I heard was battered and fried buds. Wow, I never knew they were so versatile. The Day Lillies took over Moms flower patch so we dug them all up and threw them in the back field, ... Well, they're growing there now. The first year there was only a couple, and every year there's more. And they are still coming up in the flower patch. They are evasive here. I'm looking for sunchoke now. Have a great one and good luck.

I was sooooo looking forward for this video since I have so many orange day lillies. Ty! Ty! Ty! You said the root/tubers are suppose to taste kinda nutty so maybe just adding oil to chopped tubers & blended/pureed could turn it into Lilly Butter like Peanut butter, Almond butter, etc.

Thank you so much for sharing this information I really appreciate it and I love keeping up with you and I want to learn all I can do like what you do. I was wondering if their is a good plant or flower that can protect squash plants that may keep beetles and aphids away from them? Thanks! I am planning on using Neem oil when all the squash are gone and totally mix it all up and clear out the old plants because I didn't do that last year and the dirt is infiltrated with bugs and they got all over my older plants killing them and I don't know if I will have any harvest this year because of it. I spray them with soapy water and cinnamon oil after I water them every night and with a cloth that has water and soap I clean off the bottoms of the leaves and when I keep up with it they are gone, I also sprinkle cinnamon over the stems and other areas around the plant so the bugs can't crawl very well around the bushes and plants my friend told me about this. When I can't get to them for a couple days they overtake them every time, it has really been raining these last couple days and I have been feeling under the weather so hopefully they will be good. Anyway I will after I am done with the neem oil I have heard to cover the dirt with a black plastic trash bag and leave it there for a few months to cook them and do the whole thing again. Do you know of anything else I could do or would this do to get rid of the bugs? Also how often would I need to do it every year, every other year, or every three years? Thanks, keep up the great work, and many blessings!

@annieanderson6112 Жыл бұрын

U could try boiling water onto soil and cover it for like 15 mins but that will also kill all good bugs so u have to add nutrients back to the soil before u plant in it again. I do this to my starting potting mixes for my pots that I grow in, mix it up, then cover for 15-30 mins. Stir everyday until soil dries out enough to plant in. Good luck.

Kind of unrelated, but in your experience, do your nasturtiums repel or attract aphids?

I do not grow veggies inside at all, they do not do well here in the winter be they inside or outside as they just do not get enough natural sun because of our constant cloud cover. I do a few common house plants but the only one I grow for medicinal purposes is aloe vera. I do not have problems with pests on t hem though years ago when we tried buying some dwarf citrus to grow inside, they must have come infested with pests that then took over some of our house plants and devasted them along with the only batch of turmeric I was growing successfully and of course allt he citrus trees died. We tried every thing and finally just had to sit everything out in the freezing cold to kill the pests knowing we would lose the plants too. It was that or lose all our indoor plants. It was terrible but it killed them and we have not had a problem since. On the nasturtiums I can say I have not seen aphids anywhere they grow but this does not mean they may not attract them either. But I did get a lot of aphids this year on my nettle but there are no nasturtiums growing around them so their could be something to that. I had read years ago that they do repel them

@jennytaylia5371 Жыл бұрын

@@RainCountryHomestead did you ever end up doing anything about the ones on your nettle? I know you like to use nettle, so do you hose them off before bringing them inside or do you ever worry that you’ll bring a pest in from outside that will get on your indoor plants? I find myself not wanting to even touch my plants and crops outside because I worry about hitch hikers and having an infestation all over the house (there’s still like at least 40 pots around the house.) I never ever had pest issues on anything indoor or out until the summer of 2019. I unfortunately spent thousands during the rare plant craze though so I unknowingly brought home all sorts of new bugs into my ecosystem, but i suspect the plant craze has a part to do with how many pests people are experiencing these past few years since aphids, thrips, mealies/scale, and spidermites have been shipped all over the world in recent years on a heavy scale. I’m sure it’s been excellent business for pest control companies like koppert though. I did plant a bunch of nasturtium this year though after seeing how much you like them, both the climbing and trailing kinds, and yeah… they don’t repel them.. only a few of them were absolutely covered in aphids though while the others only had a few on them so i found that interesting, but i still don’t want to touch them 😅
