I really enjoyed this video. I had no idea the many uses for Goldenrod. Thank you for sharing all of this information.

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

Absolutely 😊 Thank you so much. So grateful for this stuff.

[@TheSHOP411]

I was reading The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies just before I saw your video come up in my feed the other day and I was showing my wife that golden rod is medicinal. What a coincidence. 8 had no idea it was worth so much. You are so smart to know all the things you put in your videos.

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

What a coincidence for sure. It is a wonderful plant that should be celebrated! We are so fortunate to have it growing right here in our back yard! Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate you. I bet that book is interesting & fantastic. 🌱🌼

[@TheSHOP411]

@@bluefeatherhomestead I gave it away to a good friend and I ordered another copy. I intend to order more and give the out as Christmas gifts. We will one day rely on people with this knowledge and people like you will be very sought after. Probably more so than conventional doctors.

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

@@TheSHOP411 How nice of you & what an amazing & thoughtful gift to receive. Thank you & I agree with you. I sure do hope people are learning more about natural meds & foods that will benefit them & their health. AND you can't beat the price of wild edibles! 😂

[@MinuteontheMountain]

Great video. I've never used goldenrod for anything but am going to have to see if we can harvest any here in Utah.

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

Thank you. Please let me know. I am curious.

[@MtnGrandma]

Hey Sammie! I hope you’re getting a great harvest of this this year! I found some on our property but it’s such a small amount I hate to even take any of it. I’m hoping more grows and I gotta check the back of the property….crossing fingers more is back there! 😊👍❤️

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

Oh, I hope you come across some more. I don't blame you for leaving it. I've been seeing it everywhere around here when driving around. I feel like stopping and cutting. 😆 I do still have some dried from last year to last me through, but so tempting to grab it all.

[@amymasterson527]

How do you dry the goldenrod so it doesn’t fuzz up? How do you keep the dry leaves/flowers for tea throughout the year? Total newbie but my land is FULL of goldenrod and I can’t wait to start preparing your recipes

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

​@amymasterson527 I wish i could post a photo on here. It does fuzz up, but it's not too bad at all. I keep mine in a big glass container/jar. I put leaves and the fuzzy flowers in my tea bag. I hope this helps. ~Sammie 😊

[@catfunksfabulousfinds97045]

I love grape seed oil.

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

I love your channel name!!!

[@jerryrigsit5400]

It's the state flower of Kentucky

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

How awesome is that?! I did not know this my friend. Thank you for sharing.

[@jerryrigsit5400]

@@bluefeatherhomestead I was a kid in Kentucky. I didn't know the plant was so useful. Thx for a great video. How about them cattails?

[@robertbrokus2123]

Used to be Alabama state flower I think. Then it changed to some rose not even native to here. Lol Go figure. I'm sure politics had something to do with it.

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

​@robertbrokus2123 😮 wow!!! Interesting

[@jerryrigsit5400]

Cattails can be used to make baskets, pollen can be used as flour, and lots of other uses.

[@catfunksfabulousfinds97045]

Jars should be filled to the top. Air is not our friend.

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

Ohhh.... That's an excellent point. Thank you. 😊

[@clivesconundrumgarden]

Interesting Sammie, I've heard of Goldenrod but was unaware of all the benefits. Would you use the infused olive oil in cooking aswell? Very cool Cheers Jason and Colleen 🌱🌱🌱

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

Thank you both so much. Yes, absolutely to cook with as long as it's something that you would normally cook with it. 😊

[@gingergrant3932]

Thank you for sharing your recipes. Do you have a good recipe for goldenrod jelly? I just discovered goldenrod last year and I love it. I had a cop of tea this morning.

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

My pleasure!! Funny you say that! I just screenshot a goldenrod jelly recipe a couple of weeks ago. I will try and find it. 😆 ~yummy... I L♡VE tea's. It's so rainy here today, so some elderberry tea was heavy on my mind.

[@Angelmama714]

Great video-- thank you! How much of the acv goldenrod do you take daily? Trying to get my kids and myself help with our allergies!!

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

Thank you so much. I appreciate that & and it is absolutely my pleasure. I usually take about 1/2 to 1 tsp (acv) in about 1/2 coffee Cup of Water daily. It is so beneficial for so many things. I LOVE it. I have also heard to put a dot of peppermint oil in between your eyes, above your nose, to help with allergies. But it will burn your eyes if it gets in them (obviously), so maybe not on a day that you're sweating outside or something. I hope this helps. Have a blessed day, friend. 🙏 ~Sammie

[@loribraten8297]

Doing this soon. Do you strain the one with oil or leave the golden God in there n how do you use it?

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

That's a really great question. I do strain it. A couple of ways to use it would be making a salve with it (topical~for pain and/or inflammation). I have mixed it with honey & apple cider vinegar for my salads as a dressing. I hope this helps & hope that you are having a great week! Thank you.

[@backtonature433]

I've never seen this kind of plant in our place 🤔

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

Hmmm.... I hope you find some. Let me know if you do. By the way..... I absolutely LOVE your profile pic!!! The hand holding the earth, the dirt, the tree, new life..... I love it!!

[@donnadarcangelo3225]

Can you make vinegar infusion with wine or balsamic vinegar.

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

That's a really good question & I wish I had the answer. I will need to look into that. I honestly do not see why you couldn't unless the acid isn't strong enough to keep buggies/germ growth at bay.

[@lynnbradley7387]

I really want to make some tea but it’s so late in the season here all our golden rod has already started turning a little brown. Is it too late to use it do I gotta just wait till next year it’s just not bright yellow anymore.

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

This is a really great question, and I have been looking to find an answer. In my mind, I say why not do it now before it's completely dead. I haven't found anything that says it's either beneficial or harmful at this point. I'm trying to think of an example to myself.... I wouldn't pick & eat cilantro if it was dead, but I might if it was turning a little brown. I'm going to have to say, it's your call. I literally can not find the answer. ☆☆I'm hoping that if anyone else reading this knows the answer to this question, we will gladly accept!! Thank you ~Sammie

[@eagleeye761]

how late in the season can you harvest goldenrod?

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

That is a great question. If they still have flowers on them, then you can use them. The best time or when they are the most potent is when the flower is just barely opening. I apologize for taking this long to answer. Somehow, I miss comments along the way. I hope you have a great day and coming up weekend! 😊 ~Sammie

[@MichaelJosephJr934]

I was told to soak in salt water to kill any tiny insects. It that necessary? ???

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

Good question. I would say, why not? I would soak it for at least 10 minutes to rid of any unwanted insects. (This is what I read) I personally just give the plant a good shake, which probably doesn't rid them all. I just may start soaking them! 😆 thanks for the question & helping me learn something today. I love it! Have a blessed day, my friend. ~Sammie

[@Partimepeasant]

Goldenrod sun tea?

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

What a fantastic idea! I love that. Thank you 😊 My grandma always had a jug of tea sitting out in the sun brewing. Why have I not done this. Have a great evening, my friend. ~Sammie 😃

[@lisahylton2449]

How do you get all the bugs off Goldenrod????

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

I just give them a good shake, but I had a friend recommend soaking in salt. (I believe for 13 minutes) to get rid of unwanted bugs. I hope this helps & that you have a fantastic week, my friend. 😃

[@lisahylton2449]

@@bluefeatherhomestead Thank you so much!!

[@franksullivan1873]

I would always wash plants…birds,bugs and mice do mess on plants…just saying.

[@bluefeatherhomestead]

I agree. After the last comment, I said, "Yes, I will absolutely be washing them from now on." 😆 I mean, I wash the heck out of the veggies from the grocery store. Worried about who touched what and then the food. I surely should be washing these. Yikes! Thank you and have a blessed evening. ~Sammie 😊
