Mint family (peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, cat nip) , Nettle, Mullein, holy basil (all the basils really) oregano... The list is endless

Your mints look so nice and healthy. I can’t seem to grow it in my sandy loam soil. Seeing yours makes me want to try growing it again. Your family is beautiful and blessed ❤

[@joycecook8876]

I loved seeing all the newbies in the garden as they readied herbs for drying. I don’t count Esther as new since she has been interested since I began watching and now surpasses many of your viewers. They are such precious girls! I like your herb dryer and laughed when you talked about putting them in the truck to dry. It’s not a bad idea and very creative. We put our honey in husbands truck to warm it up after sitting in the basement for awhile. That works too! 🍃🍀☘️🌿🍃🪴🪴🪴🪴❤!

[@marianeufeld1627]

Wow good job It looks so beautiful all the greens and flowers you are so blessed Thank you very much God it's good❤❤🙏

[@dianehall5345]

All those lovely mints for hot or iced tea. I am trying Sage tea, as I heard it has cooling properties. I also like Holy Basil and a Nettle blend with rose pedals. The gardens look wonderful! So good to see your girls involved in the process. ~ Diane

[@glendasmith8101]

Lovely video, love all the herbs and especially watching the little ones working with them. You have a very special family and a great example for all to follow. God bless you all!!

[@agirly1503]

Your garden is so good looking compared to a few years ago when it looked just utilitarian 😊 great job making it useful and beautiful ❤

[@TaylorMadeSchnauzers]

I love watching these shows with my children - we particularly love it tho when there is less adult talking and more of the children playing, doing their day to day routines, schoolwork's, chores, etc ❤ love from NZ

[@dawnmackay3394]

Lemon Verbena and Tulsi are two of our favorite herbs to dry for tea. ❤ Your gardens look beautiful!

[@MiraSky]

Your videos just make my day better

[@1000sofroots]

Your comment just made my day better.🙂

I like those herb drying hangers. What I don’t like is that it’s still open to dust, just prevents bugs from getting on them. I would hang an old sheet or large square cut hole in center and sleeve the Velcro band through it, this tents fall out n air and allowed drying as it’s open from bottom and is breathable fabric ie cotton sheet or fabric. Even an old linen dress or skirt would work too. I really dislike personally dust on my herbs. Some people put them in paper bags. I use to make cones of paper bags or parchment and sleeve the banded herbs through the cone and hang them from the point of the cone.

[@lindarinke6024]

I have wild catnip in spots!

[@KJPartyof6]

I love herbs and tea!! Lots of great info & tips, thank you! I just learned about that wood scorching method a few months ago when i watched a KZbinr doing while he built his own cabin... Very cool look and functional to seal the wood!

[@dianeovenden]

Shalom to you all 🙏💖

[@empret7704]

I like the taste of dill flowers just before they open, I think its called buds, in my pan cakes or just eat it raw 😊

[@cheriemartin3767]

Cat Nip is an amazing herb alley.. It helps with anxiety, nerve pain, sleep , heart and breathing! ! LOL I place a bird cage over plant so kittys can eat what grows outside and I harvest with in

[@sarajacobs8775]

Lemon balm and holy basil

[@donna-n5h]

Carrie , Thank you for sharing your knowledge of herbs and the drying process. I have a plant of Rosemary and an Italian Oregano. I might give the drying process a try ! I live in a humid climate so now that it’s beginning to get hot it will probably be best to dry the herbs inside our house. All your vegetables , herbs and flowers look so healthy! I love seeing your girls helping in the garden! Abby so sweet showing you the Salvia . I also have a few plants of Salvia . Love the color. My husband and son a few years ago built a table and also used the burning method. The coffee table looked so good with the design. Thanks for the idea of using Comfrey tea for pest in the garden ( you answered a question for me about pest ) . The apple & chocolate mint are intriguing for me to try . May you all have a blessed weekend filled with joy ❤

[@roberthart897]

(Rob's wife) I recently bought one of those drying racks. It is a bit longer. I really like it. I need to find some of that apple mint! Sounds yummy 😋 I love the bleeding hearts flowers. I'm growing my first plant this year. I can't wait to see it bloom🥰

[@blueamenaa749]

Beautiful video.❤❤❤ God bless you all. ❤❤❤

[@kathyprice3248]

That wood is so pretty besides effective!

[@marygayquigley9672]

A salad spinner is very helpful in removing most of the water from the herbs. That would definitely help speed up with the drying time. I love your videos!

[@susanvanslyck288]

Your music is so beautiful.

[@3eaglesapiary-jenniferwall738]

I love to make tea from my Anise Hyssop and Lemon Balm

[@dorothyglidewell3847]

God bless you and your beautiful family

[@TheLittleHomestead1]

I've loved watching how your garden has grown and developed over the years Carrie :) It was so lovely to see the three girls happily helping with the herbs too. I also love to grow and dry herbs and normally either just hang them in bunches or put in the dehydrator. I've often wondered about those hanging mesh dryers, so it's good to see one in use in this video and to know they work well. Many blessings to your sweet family. I hope your garden and harvest are beautiful and bountiful this year :) ~ Linda

[@NancyMorse]

Blessings to you and your beautiful family.

[@roxananunez4238]

Beautiful garden 🪴 beautiful family ❤

[@sallysobrepena4689]

WhenI was working as a caregiver with not so pleasant clients under my care that Scriptures really help me through. I still find joy in my heart knowing that I was serving the Lord. Thank you for sharing how to dried herbs, Take care and God bless

[@goodfriendacres5633]

We have the same rack and I love it! I've had it for a few years and it works very well. I don't dry herbs with an electric dehydrator anyway because they are too fragile. The oils evaporate too much with the heat so both flavor and medicinal value is gone. I just filled mine with Nettle and also a layer of oregano. It feels good to be using it again.

[@ritahall8653]

Beautiful

[@almamoore8446]

Beautiful garden.

[@theresiamerglewski5845]

I’m in up north Michigan trying so hard to wait looks like one more night I’ve already lost a few things from being inpatient and trying to hurry spring 🫤

[@lindamcauley4728]

I love nettle soup and most herb teas, except camomile ❤❤

[@Maria-cp2ty]

Great video🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️👍

[@carolynmoody9460]

Have the same net to dry I love it❤❤❤

[@moonshine4049]

What a lovely lovely video.❤

[@cindystanton4171]

My favorite so far is an equal mix of lemon balm, orange mine, and spearmint. I love it iced all summer!

[@1000sofroots]

That sounds amazing!🙂

[@Vessimira]

Thyme and sage are my top favorite herbs. I absolutely love collecting herbs. Nice music. Which song is that?

[@Apemom47]

This year none of our plants did well. Except for our thyme ! I've had the same thyme plant for 6 years !!!I don't bring it in or give any extra love. But it's so full it doesn't look real. I wish I could get the other herbs thrown that way.

[@1000sofroots]

It is always a blessing to have a plant that thrives with such little effort! Blessings to you.❤

[@familychannel3824]

I’m also having trouble being patient and I’m in Minnesota so I really need to just wait! It’s so hard, I get too excited to put my starts into the ground!

[@jillhull7358]

[@sumconner364]

Please pray for me & my kids. Someone burnt down our house & 2 vehicles then it caught on to our neighbors house, thankfully we had some footage on cameras & so did some others. Our dog didn’t make it. It’s been a little over 2 weeks but so hard to still believe & I pray all involved are caught soon!

[@janetturner6771]

Praying for your loss. Pray many people that will come beside you for help prayers, labor, supplies , food 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@1000sofroots]

We can't imagine what you are going through, but will pray for you and your family. May your every need be met and the new season ahead be filled with His peace, joy in what matters most in life, and provision. And we hope you are blessed with another dog.🙂❤

[@Melissa.Bordelon84]

I am so sorry to hear that ❤. I will be praying for you and your family 🙏🙏

Shalom! Do you all visit with Parable of the Vineyard fellowship? Blessings to you all!

[@1000sofroots]

Shalom to you. We don't fellowship with Parable of the Vineyard, but we really enjoy Adam's channel. Blessings to you.❤

[@jennysfarmsweetfarm7726]

This was a very helpful video. Question, do you harvest the wild violet flowers or leaves to dry? I have several violets coming up in my yard and garden space right now. Do you use it for teas? Im so new to wild foraging , so I have so many questions. Love your channel, it always brightens my day. May the Lord bless you and your family continually.

[@1000sofroots]

Yes, we harvest the leaves to dry and add them to teas, although you can harvest the flowers as well (we like to leave them for the bees and for their beauty). They are more for nutrition than flavor, so we add them to flavorful herbs. They can be a bit invasive in our zone 6, so we plant them where they can have some room to spread out. We like to let them cover the ground under our fruit trees to help smoother out the weeds a bit.🙂 Blessings to you.❤

[@khadijahalamodi1729]

Please can you tell me how you make dried herbs.. thanks

[@1000sofroots]

We purchased an herb drying rack through Amazon that we hang from our loft. Each herb is a little different, but for most of them, we just trim the plant like we're giving it a hair cut, rinse the herbs in clean water, pat dry with a dish towel, and load them into the drying rack. Our wood cookstove helps to dry them in just a couple of days. Then we either crumble the dry herbs with our hands if using for tea, or chop the herbs in our food processor if using for cooking. Hope this helps. Blessings to you.❤

[@jeannelynskey6946]

Lovely. Does chocolate mint taste like chocolate? It sounds delicious.

[@1000sofroots]

It does have a hint of a chocolate taste, but is mostly strong mint in flavor.🙂

[@jennsude4794]

Is there such thing as lemon leaf ( just like the raspberry leaf ) to make ice tea with somehow?!?!?

[@1000sofroots]

I haven't heard of lemon leaf, but lemon balm and lemon grass make delicious tea.🙂

[@jennsude4794]

@@1000sofroots thanks ill have to try it ❤

[@wendym9334]

Do your herbs come back in the spring, or are they replanted ? I haven’t been able to plant yet; weather not right yet. What zone is your area?

[@1000sofroots]

We are in zone 6. Most of our herbs are perennial and come back every spring, but we do start a few varieties from seed, like basil, dill, and parsley. Blessings.🙂

[@wendym9334]

Okay; I am in zone 4 and am trying my hand at herbs this year, but I think they will only be annuals for me. 😊 Also got my first fruit tree!🎉 So excited to grow more, however my green thumb is in houseplants. Last year was an invasion of the Grasshoppers (they ate everything). But, I am not giving up. I love your videos. Very encouraging for me.

[@someonesprincess3]

[@deanfaw]

Questions how do you keep track of your garden and knowing when to pull the leaves

[@1000sofroots]

I find that a daily garden walk and making to-do lists helps.🙂 I also make notes from year to year and refer back to them often. Blessings to you.❤

[@deanfaw]

@1000sofroots thank you God bless your family

[@janetturner6771]

How is Kip doing ?

[@1000sofroots]

He is doing well.🙂 Thanks for asking.

[@lindarose9402]

May 10th is the frost free date for Missouri ❤

[@1000sofroots]

We are in southern MO, so our average frost free date is the end of April. We try to get a head start on the bugs as much as we can, but sometimes we loose a few plants to frost in the process.

[@valerieodle6589]

What's going in with Caleb? We don't see him much. Hope he's doing well. He's probably busy doing his own business. What's his business page? God bless!!

[@1000sofroots]

He's doing well. He helped set up our website and shop, but doesn't have his own business page. He's been learning violin, doing some blacksmithing, working part time doing construction, and doing a lot of Bible study. He's still planning on building his home here on the property. Blessings to you.❤

[@janetturner6771]

He is such an awesome great young man 🎉.
