[@lilaclee9318]

I'm completely obsessed with your videos! They are so simple yet informative, informal but well-structured, and I'm learning so much about the growth and use of so many different plants! And I just learned that you're based in Australia which means it's even more useful for me!

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@charlesbale8376]

Love drinking herbal tea from the garden,

[@JujuGurgel]

Just touching and smelling the spearmint helps me open up my airways and breath better. Thank God for nature! Great video

[@Lifeonmarslooksrad]

Oh and a video on how you keep the lemon myrtle tree small! Thanks 🙂

[@queenSummerKeli]

You have such a calm and caring demeanour. Thank you for your videos.

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Thank you for your kind comment

[@anyazelinska]

Morag, your garden is an inspiration! You are a wonderful woman and I absolutely love watching your videos. They replace my TV entertainment (in the best possible way). All the warmest regards to you!

[@basilpeterson9592]

I am an organic farmer as well as a birder. I live in the finger lakes region of NY and am constantly distracted by birds calling in the fields, I have spent hours trying to find a new sound that i am not familiar with. Every time I watch your videos I am absolutely fascinated not only by the content but the wonderful birdlife around you. Since I am unfamiliar with your part of the world I would be grateful if you could identify some of the birds in your videos...thanks much

[@plantfairyfl218]

The sound of birds is always so soothing

[@biddibee3526]

I have recently discovered orange mint. It’s so lovely. Idk if it has medicinal benefits but I sure do love it.

[@putneyfarm64]

Love your videos and your calming nature. I grow all of these plants; plus a great one for respiratory problems: Perilla/Shiso. We enjoy our little 10 acre permaculture homestead in the Upstate of South Carolina, US. We are blessed with a cousin who is the most watched forager on You Tube; Green Deane; who has visited us from Florida and given much needed and very popular classes on foraging wild plants right here on our homestead. We try as much as possible to live off our land without input from the outside, and we love the life-style and vitality that blesses us in return. At 73 and 74, my husband and I love to get out there and get dirty, learn new things, and pass them on to all who will listen. Keep up your good mission. Blessings from above!

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Thank you Donna. Best wishes to you both. I hope you are keeping safe and well.

[@pamthompsonarbogast3687]

I didn't know shiso was good for respiratory probs. Great to know, since mine self seeds every year. Here in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) I make a tea from cedar, (wild foraged) rose hips, ginger and cinnamon, with citrus and honey in the fall/winter. I use the mint, shiso and lemon balm fresh, when it is in season (a good portion of the year) and dry some for later use. After watching Morag's videos, I am going to try growing turmeric and ginger this year:-).

[@leannebowden2604]

I'm sick & home from work today so after watching this I'm off out to the garden to pick some herbal goodness & mix up a brew to soothe my sore throat. Thanks for sharing.

[@rebeccadees2300]

Thank you for sharing your tutorial and explanation. I'm planting my first small organic garden. Looking for organic plants and medicinal herbs now.

[@christinacombs7731]

I love your garden. I hope to make one just like it some day. Thank you for sharing this video even though you were not feeling to well.

[@nancysiow6262]

get well soon, Morag, and your family!

[@alisonrittener5606]

Just found you on you tube and can’t get enough!! I’ve actually just started making a ‘ginger bug’! So simple ... and so good! I start drinking it even before it’s done😃

[@americanbluejacket209]

Very helpful video. I added it to my favorites list. Thank You for taking the time to help others.

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Gary very welcome

[@hailstorm711]

Thanks for sharing Morag. Hope you feel better soon.

[@KristinEspinasse]

Hi, Morag, Thyme! This is what they use for colds here in France. Thyme tea. Thyme grows wild here in the garrigue and is picked when it flowers. Love your videos. Thank you!

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Thanks Kristin. Appreciate you sharing this.

[@MatthewSherriff85]

I am currently growing a small cinnamon tree, its still way too tiny to harvest any bark as it has yet to start growing, but hopefully one day i will be using it in my cooking. I like the idea of homegrown apple pie with homegrown cinnamon and ginger

[@SenseMakinginaChangingWorld]

That sounds amazing!

[@MatthewSherriff85]

@@SenseMakinginaChangingWorld ha, i know right. If you want to see how truly tiny it currently is i have uploaded a tour of my fruit trees, but trust me when i say it will definitely be a while for the cinnamon, hopefully not as long for apples

[@gigidi6816]

Hello from California, Morag! I've seen some of your videos and am now a subscriber. I like your voice, smile and natural way about you. This tea will help me keep illness at bay.

I haven’t had Japanese mint - I’m going to keep an eye out for it

[@nessav7258]

Hello Morag. I have some hyssop and I add flowers and leaves to my pot, together with lemon myrtle, lemon juice, ginger pieces and honey. I'll look out for the Japanese Mint, it sounds interesting and I'd love to grow my own turmeric and ginger.

[@leeco9811]

Wonderful, completely wonderful. 🙏❤️🔥🙏

[@ahamoments132]

Hooray!!! I've just stumbled on your channel whilst looking fr advice re how and when to harvest my very generous Rosella plants... I make Kombucha, and Rosella is the main ingredient, with only enough black tea to keep the scoby ticking over :) It truly is the most refreshing kombucha I've tasted, and I believe its helping my BP to head back down to healthier levels :) I love this video, and delighted in hearing which 7 plants you selected for your brew.. i have all but two, the rarer mints, and will track down the Japanese menthol mint right now.I subscribed as soon as I found the first of your youtube offerings that i landed on.. so nice to hear someone just a few hours North of me.. makes everything seem really relevant and doable! Thank you for all that you do! 🌻🌹🌻

[@KS-ys8vu]

[@artmelodic]

Hi Morag, Love your knowledge. I have had a passion for all things herbs from a very young age. Ive heard and read that Marshmallow weed is a great for decongestion and coughs. Marshmallow literally is a weed in my yard. I would like to know the best way to use it to my advantage and turn it to an asset instead. Im happy to plant it properly into its own patch and treat it like royalty but need to know how to use it properly. Can you help? Im in Geelong, Vic. Au.

[@gertrudestuazon7476]

Thank you again! You are an amazing lady👏🏻👍

[@PermacultureHomestead]

thanks Morag catching up on your content, i LOVE how it all looks thx for the share

[@FreeAnBeingME]

Great video, and I have to get busy with my garden this weekend since it's warming up. Definitely going to plant medicinal plants

[@dewalediblegardens7800]

That's why we don't do 'check ups'; doctors rooms are petrie dishes of disease waiting for their next host. Hope you got well quickly. Thanks for sharing.

[@Yourgolfplace]

Thanks Morag, love your videos, especially this one as it's very timely for me as I am laid up with the flu, only wish I had these plants in my garden. Very inspiring.. will go shopping and add them to my plant list

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

Hope you're feeling better soon. Weaving medicinals through the garden is such a great thing to do. Hope you find some lovely plants.

[@melinadayrit8725]

Mom, I love it your demonstration, I just want to know your herbal medicine, amazing!

[@amandaleonard2084]

You have just inspired me to start a medicinal garden 💓

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

How wonderful.

Love the video. I grow hybiscus. I steep hibiscus, ginger and green tea. Add honey and Lime to cup. Drink As Hot Tea.

[@melvinaroundy4647]

love your videos keep up the good work that you do.. I am in to garding , flowers, herbs, essential oils I hardly ever go to the doctors. and I really don't care for them I've raised 7 boys on herbs, oils, good food. food from our Gardens.

[@debracasseday4960]

Very useful, hope you feel better, Great idea stay out of doctors office. I am growing Oregano, basil, turmeric, chamomile,ginger, all sorts of useful things. Doctors and Pharmaceuticals are way over used.

[@henrygutierrez3004]

hi morag,like to ask few questions and hope you able to help me.1)how do you dry the leaves from the tumeric and how can you use it?went is the time to removed the tumeric and ginger off the ground,do you have any videos on making good medicine with tumeric and ginger?

[@pearaltamelo1027]

It must be delicious, I also make tea with a bunch of different things and sometimes I wonder if I'm making a bomb LOL! I'm also creating the sanctuary with spontaneous edible and medicinal plants. I just have one doubt, from all the reading I've done it always says that the essential oils are only extracted in other oils because they are fat soluble or broken down with vinegar or vodka.

[@janiceb4679]

Pine needle tea, full of vit C. We also grow Echinacea, though I have yet to process and use it medicinally. We also grow valerian for the root, which can help you get some much needed rest.

[@BlessedStacy]

What could you use in place of the myrtle leaves? I don’t have access to that.

[@shanekonarson]

Thankyou ! Love your vids , sent to my aunt :-)

[@melodycopp6777]

Thank you !

[@rivercreature]

Thyme is also great for colds

[@da1stamericus]

And sore tummies. We make thyme and oregano tea for upset stomachs.

[@christinafaughnan277]

Can you recommed some basic healing herbs. I have sweet mint, sage, rosemary and parsley

[@jenniferponzini2433]

Do the younger leaves of the myrtle contain a higher concentration? Just curious as to why you picked only the new leaves from the Myrtle.

[@tomtruett1946]

Love the plate!

[@fCLEF007]

mandarins, oranges or limes from the back yard and if I have jarrah or manuka honey some of that

[@allenmillenium6207]

We've all been taught by the crudendaros in Mexico , you never prepare herbs or herbal tea in a metal pot! You either put all the herbs and kind of crush them with a mortar and pestle put them in a glass or clay dish, boil the water in a glass pan and pour the boiling water over the herbs and cover it let them steep for 5 minutes! We even make commercial tea the same way! Not to criticize what you're doing but to teach you a better way is our goal! Also you never sweetened herbs with honey you always use pure maple syrup! You can also put a pinch of cayenne pepper and two tablespoons of lemon juice organic! Cayenne pepper is a blood purifier lemon juice has over 17 vitamins and minerals and pure maple syrup is a naturally occurring sugar! They've also taught us To never use chlorinated water but either distilled or purified spring water! Chlorinated water deletes many of the nutrients that you're trying to get with all these herbs! Love your garden some of the herbs we've never heard of!

[@carolmcintyre8485]

is this type of gardening good with dark, fertile soil?

[@RyngKatBaDPhiTogetherwithYou]

in northeast India, herbs for various ailments can be easily collected from the hills, forests, everywhere. the herbs are effective, we're experiencing.

[@sew_So_beautiful]

The tea looks like a wonderful idea. Ive never seen the stronger mint that you were mentioning around here though. I would like to try to make a soap or body wash that is antifungal from my herbs. Which herbs would be the best for that?

[@tracycrider7778]

Oregano & Thyme & Rosemary 💜

[@shaylajay190]

WONDERFUL,☮️❤️💥🌈🌎😇😇😇😇

[@naturewoman1274]

Hi morag i notice you grow mint in the garden bed doesn't it take over i have mine in a pot but it doesn't look to flash what is the best conditions for mint im in Victoria east Gippsland

[@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife]

All mints love it moist, preferably with open soil for their runners to travel through. I plant mint under my fruit trees because I don't mind it spreading there - actually it helps to create a living mulch. In my climate, it dies back in the winter and other things come through. I also have sweet potato growing under the trees and the two have to compete for space - the sweet potato often wins out - which helps to keep the mint in check too. On one side there is a terrace wall which stops it, on the other is our main footpath - the mint doesn't cross this because it gets too trampled or mown.

[@naturewoman1274]

Hi Jenn, I haven't got any at the moment and haven't normally made to sell, just throw - but it's possible. Where are you based and what type of seeds are you after - natives, herbs, legumes, veggie mix...?

In a city you might want to rinse and depending on whether there are dogs around etc. Pick your location, know your garden and respond accordingly. :-)

You need some heat to activate turmeric, not very beneficial raw!
