We used to see this all over the place back home, not so much where I'm at now. really pretty and distinctive plant. I'd love to try the drink though. We foraged for a lot of wild plants, but that wasn't one back then. More often we would gather and eat teaberries instead.

Sadly I don't think the sumac plants here in the UK are the same variety. I have only seen ornamentals. I think I would like this drink.

Cool. I'll have to try this

Does it have a Kool Aid flavor? Because that is tangy and sour as well.

Thanks for sharing!

Another fantastically filmed video! This one had sort of a dreamy "1970s" feel to it....the birdsong was so beautiful as well!

Love this native. I planted it two years ago and lost it. Too much shade I think. Still looking for it, though.

I had shoveled a bunch of muddy soil into a bucket while gardening one day, and I noticed a layer of finer dirt at the top the following day. I've recently been doing something of this sort to help isolate more silty/sandy dirt for drainage improvement, while I've been using the clay for berm building.

Nice sharing ❤❤❤

Adorable. Love the way you styled and landscaped for them too!

I made a bunch of wasp nests with a 6 pack of khaki socks from dollar tree. Filled them with used plastic shopping bags and they are virtually weatherproof. 6 only cost $1-- they look real enough a neighbor told me we had a bunch of wasp nests on our house. I've noticed a definite reduction in wasps.

I’ve been trying to process my red clay soil for days. I’ve mixed and dilute lid with water, strained to get debris out, and have let it settle for two days but the water is still orange, there’s no clear water layer at all. I don’t know what to do.

The dragonfly in the blackberries!!!💜💚🩷

This has to be one of your BEST videos! The slightly slowing down the speed in the beginning is genius! Gives a whole new mood to your film. The short scene beginning at 2:48 is also spectacular! Thank you!!!

I will ask my broher to do this. I have wanted a littl epath in our woods for ages, and this will be perfect. Safer for my 85 year old bones. Good teaching, good pictures, good project. Good use of leftover bits of building materials. Expert advice on cutting stakes. Thank you so much.

You know, i had some morning glories pop up in my garden and i didnt know what they were at first so i just let them go, they spread up 3 of my tomato cages and i have noticed those tomato plants have 0 bugs or blight but the rest of my tomato plants, about 15 or so do have blight and gnats, i dont really mind the gnats anyway but i went searching if anyone else had done this and found your video, another thing ive noticed is that they are providing some much needed shade for some of my other plants like my canteloupe and watermelon and arent choking anything out, i have more growing up my pole bean trellis and i dont really care for that because i think they are giving too much shade and my cattle panel trellises are getting very heavy, im glad i found someone that was curious about the same thing! I cant find much info about this, well, thank you for the video and God Bless

This why the shorter version is better. By bending down you can see where the root is better.

Such a beautiful, peaceful video.

That BACKGROUND MUSIC annoying. It’s a shame I wanted so much to watch the video 🙄

I saw one of the largest garter snakes I've ever seen and I swear it was 3 feet long. Very beautiful. I enjoyed your video.🐍💚

Great information and I love the Medieval mystical sounding music.

Love the music on this video!! I want to grow black beans this year and am currently preparing my beds. Can’t wait to harvest.

Great explanation, thank you!

Thank you for slowing us down and showing us how lovely our world is

Just found this video. It's a good one. I have lots of Heal-all and plantain growing naturally on my land. Sometimes, I dry the leaves of both and infuse coconut oil with them. After straining the leave fragments out, you are left with a nice salve that is great for sunburnt and bug bites. If you live in a warm climate, you can melt some beeswax in to keep it a solid. I store in the fridge for up to a month. 😊

Hi GIAG... Minus the bacon (we don't eat bacon) I say YUMMY!! This will be coming to our kitchen soon, as soon as, the next time our son is here for a visit! ROTFL for the ending!! ♥♥♥

hey, i think you heard some misinformation somewhere. i am Indigenous and a Indigenous Historian. i work at the Royal Alberta Museum in charge of the Indigenous Collection. i say this because in all my years in community, speaking with elders, archival research, and working with historical collections i have never once heard of this. there are Inuit Snow goggles but they are made in the arctic where there is little timber and even less birch trees. these goggles are usually carved from hardwood, bone, antler, and ivory and can be very ornamental. We do use birch bark for many things but this is not one of them. this is misinformation that only furthers stereotypes of Indigenous people.

Wow! The video just kept getting more and more beautiful. Excellent work. Capturing the butterfly on the ferns was very very nice. The leaves moving in the wind and the fields of flowers and the shots looking up and into tree lines and all the bird song was just beautiful. THANK YOU again

BEAUTIFUL ❤ Especially beginning at 2:30. At 4:40 it slightly reminds me of Crescent Meadow up in Sequoia. God’s miraculous nature 🎉

Or ?? Pick your nose!

If you set up a camera on the tree like the second clip and left it there for like 30 minutes, it would make a sick asmr/background noise video.

I've seen the same on passionfruit.

Many Passiflora have similar structures at base of leaf. The theory from a garden club meeting was the ants benefited the plants by eating caterpillars or their eggs would. More seemed to come out when I put a piece of purple passion fruit vine in water for rooting and I tasted a tiny drop sweet with no unpleasant taste. Figured even if some poison it was a small dose. I was surprised to see some similar bumps and ants on a peach twig recently.

Can magazine paper be composted? Read somewhere that magazine paper contains plastic.

Thanks for the observation.

Interresting

I don't understand how some people can say that plants have no intelligence or feelings or anything. They're not an animal, sure, but they are living things.

Even ants enjoy a good soft drink too I guess.

Super interesting. Thanks for making the video.

Does the small pot needs to have holes at the bottom?

Thank you. I've never seen a fresh gall. Only hard old ones. I might try turning one.

Amazing!

Really interesting!

Another great video! I really enjoyed this one.

great video

Thank you for this.

Fascinating!

This is a re-upload to fix a few editing mistakes. Also thank you to my buddy Charmanr for finding out these are called "Extrafloral Nectaries".
