New subscriber. This is very helpful for our new localscape yard in utah.

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Thank you! There really are so many fun herbs we can grow here!

[@conniedavidson1807]

I'm growing self heal this year. It is planted under my loquat tree in a pot and so far has survived this TX summer heat. Will see how it does this winter.

[@gardenwiseadventures]

I love Self Heal! I need to try it again next year! That is a good suggestion to grow it in a pot!

[@hmartin751]

Awesome

[@mimishope3266]

Impressive!

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Thank you!

[@srunyon6112]

Thank you. Loved watching this. Parsley, dill etc are hosts for black swallowtail butterflies which we don't have in the West - sadly. Our swallowtails like chokecherries and ash trees. Slowly sipping thyme tea is the BEST thing for a sore throat. Thyme was used as a medicinal germ killer during the Crimean war - Florence Nightingale days.

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Thank you for the information! That is a bummer we don't have Blacktail Swallowtails here. That would explain why I haven't seen their caterpillars on my plants! I love learning about medicinal uses for herbs. There are so many useful plants!

[@paradiseseen]

Good to know.

[@ryanharvey1098]

Tarragon has beautiful flowers! I just added some to my garden this spring, so no advice on overwintering yet, but it’s a beautiful plant and I like the smell! Thanks for this awesome video! I’ve learned a lot more about mature sizes of my herbs. I’m also in Utah so it’s nice to see someone in the same area.

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Thank you! I am so hoping mine overwinters. I would love to see the flowers!

[@laneeacannon1450]

I just started Russian tarragon seedling for the 1st time. Looking forward to tasting it.

[@Dragons_Novel]

I grow a lot of herbs, and I love watching videos about them. I always learn something new and find new herbs to add to my garden. Thank you. A new herb I added to the garden last year was elf dock (elecampane).

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Thank you! I haven't tried that one yet! How did it perform for you?

[@Terri_Stauffer]

Love that you plant mint/lemon balm right right into ground. I feel it grows so much better in ground. I like your tip for keeping it contained. I also just planted garlic around my fruit trees, after I got a borer in one of my 2 yr old peach trees, it’s young so not sure if it will make it. I don’t want to spray so we will see what happens, your tree looks good and gives me hope.

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Thank you! I hope your tree recovers and does well!

[@debravogt7139]

I plant ginger in a more shallow and rectangular pot. They growsideways, not like a root plant. Hope that helps!

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Thank you, that does help! I am going to try again in March. I really want to be able to grow ginger!

[@sunnyfolding]

Thank you! Great info!

[@Trish620]

Omg. I came to your house for a tree cutting exchange! I was just barely saving seeds from a plant I got from you that was delicious. Then your video popped up. Just subscribed.

[@gardenwiseadventures]

I am so glad you found my channel! Let me know how your seeds do.

[@Trish620]

@@gardenwiseadventures I might need to, to find out what it is when it grows . It was a really delicious salad green, but I couldn't remember the name. Do you often grow a dark green salad green with a foreign name? Thanks!

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Is it Chijimisai? If that is it, it's really delicious and easy to grow!

[@celiaong4499]

Hi, I love ur herbs so nice, inspiring, philippines♥️

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Thank you!

[@gunnshomestead6255]

Ginger likes shade. Maybe put the pot under your service berry tree. I planted some in a pot & it got a little sun…but mostly shade. (Hard to tell sun conditions by video). They are very pretty, tropical plants though 😊

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Thank you, I will try that!

[@beachtrash]

If you add a charged bio char product ( horticulture charcoal that has been mixed with wheat flour, azomite rock dust, worm castings, kelp meal and neem seed meal as a mix) Let it sit for a month in a cardboard box outside in the yard. PH your water or let the rain do the work. When it gets 6-7PH over 3-4 weeks, apply with compost or potting soil. You will green your sandy spots and replace fertilizers completely. Beneficial bacteria and fungus in the mix help fight off diseases like what your ginger is fighting. Since I've been using this I've watered half of I used to and use 0 synthetic fertilizers and my plants never looked beter.

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Thanks for the tip.

[@elizzard87]

Chocolate mint... m'mmm

[@gardenwiseadventures]

It's one of my favorites!

[@blueskies6475]

Loved the video! Thanks a bunch! I was wondering where your grass is?? Did you get rid of it? Also, is that straw in your beds?? And..I thought Stevia was pronounced steeeveeaaa..? One more thing, cilantro taste like soap cause it needs to kill something!! It doesn't taste like soap to me..but I think my body needs it so I love it!! I've been trying to grow rosemary forever. It's possible someone is killing my plant!!

[@gardenwiseadventures]

🤣 I love your comments! It is good to know the reason cilantro tastes like soap 🤣. I did get rid of most of my grass. I just have a small patch in back. In this video I have grass clippings in my garden beds. This year I am trying straw. I am sold on straw because it seems to hold water in the soil better. Grass clippings are cheaper though. I hope you find your rosemary murderer and are able to grow some soon 🤣.

[@JaneDoe-ft8sz]

Is this the video where you mention purslane? If so, why did you not like it? I have some seeds but I haven't sown them yet.

[@gardenwiseadventures]

It is. I just don't like how much it spreads and how it ends up looking at the end of the season. It ends up looking really weedy and I like a cleaner look. It sets literally thousands of seeds, so if you decide you don't like it, you're pretty much stuck with it.

[@laneeacannon1450]

I can't believe you're not utilizing the omega 3s in purslane!

[@gardenwiseadventures]

I don't really like the taste and they take over and smother everything. At least I know that if we are in a starvation situation something nutritious will readily grow 🤣.

[@emmanuelyohana8940]

How can I get stevia seeds? I live in Tanzania, East Africa

[@gardenwiseadventures]

I really wish I knew. I am not sure which companies will sell stevia seeds in East Africa.

[@marisasanchez1699]

Does your Stevia die back in Winter? And does it re-grow in Spring? Or do you have to sow new plants each year?

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Stevia in a perennial in zone 9 or warmer. In colder climates it dies over the winter. You can take cuttings and over winter it inside if that would work in your case. I start mine by seed, or purchase starts at a nursery every year.

[@lathamenon3281]

I plant Stevia in pot and bring it inside during winter. It dies down but comes back Spring when I put it back outside. This is the fifth year plant started showing life. I live in NY

[@JaneDoe-ft8sz]

Are you growing common yarrow or western yarrow? I believe common yarrow may be considered a weed here in Missouri.

[@gardenwiseadventures]

I am growing common yarrow. It can spread a bit here but isn't too bad.

[@theweirdospfan.28]

In Missouri, Common Yarrow is a native plant and benefits wildlife

[@theoliviaarchives4794]

Do you mind if I ask where you got your woodchips?

[@gardenwiseadventures]

I got the most recent batch from Tucker Lawn Care in Linden, Utah. They have very reasonable prices.

[@theoliviaarchives4794]

@@gardenwiseadventures Cool. I put in an order on ChipDrop a few weeks ago. Hope it comes soon!

[@gardenwiseadventures]

That is the best way to get woodchips! Hopefully you get them soon!

[@asc3998]

It's basil perennial in your area? Mine haven't come back.

[@gardenwiseadventures]

Unfortunately, they aren't. We need to replace them every year.

[@asc3998]

@@gardenwiseadventures ok, ty

[@blackglama1]

I’ll never grow mint in the ground is very invasive.

[@gardenwiseadventures]

That is true! I grow mine next to my lawn and don't mind if it ends up in the lawn. It smells good when I mow 😁!

[@lmarie3834]

I am in North Idaho (Zone 6 also). I have huge French tarragon plant that comes back ever year. It gets a lot sun and is in rich, almost sandy soil. It is one I can count on though. Sage and Rosemary are an issue tho .🫤

[@gardenwiseadventures]

I am trying Tarragon for the first time and it is coming back from last winter. I am glad to hear it does well for you! It smells so lovely!

[@lmarie3834]

@@gardenwiseadventures , probably my favorite herb other than Lemon Balm. ☺️
