If you have lots of mint spreading then, get a countertop distiller. Insert a collapsible, metal steamer inside the chamber and fill it with around 6 handfuls of fresh mint leaves. It's intoxicatingly refreshing. The liquid is clear and the mint oil is distilled into it. It tingles down the throat. Whole Foods used to sell an 8-oz glass bottle for around $4 or 5. Use the mint water in lemonade, Mojitos, iced teas, hot chocolate, freeze into ice cubes ...

I eat my nasturtium greens all summer long! They definitely don't "taste like gasoline"

[@Emeraldwitch30]

If you mix cream cheese with a bit of green onion or chives and pipe a dollop in the middle of a nasturtium they are pretty tasty. My chamomile is fussy. One year it's everywhere next year-nothing lol But alyssum never self seeds in moly Michigan garden. I wish it would as its a great draw for pollinators and for tge wasps that eat bad bugs

[@MiadasSchaf]

Once the flowers are gone and done you can still enjoy the peppery flavor by eating the fruits that grow! Just make sure to eat them while they are still young and tender as they dry out quickly

[@Deee45]

As someone who struggles to keep plants alive, this is the kind of plant I need!

Also any type of mint, it will never die I ripped mine out over and over and it just keeps coming back and spreading everywhere! It's super pretty when it flowers and it smells and tastes nice too!!!

[@gailhall6283]

A word of advice, please don't plant anything from the mint family in the ground. It spreads like wild fire and you'll never get rid of it, EVER. Plant it in a patio pot. You can plant the pot itself in the ground. I made the mistake of planting a tiny Greek Oregano in my garden. The roots have run under the ocean, under the continent and back to Greece. 25 years later I'm still fighting it. It's in everything, roses, everything.

[@LiLiotL]

@gailhall6283 lol yeah it does spread all over the damn place, hopefully not too invasive. Same thing with oregano all over my garden but I chop it all and dry it out yum

[@CoryThompson-h8j]

I planted mint, lemon balm n stinging nettles is container to minimize the spread..❤

[@gailhall6283]

[@gparsons320]

@@gailhall6283Lol, right? I learned my lesson with mint. Planted one plant about 25 years ago. It grew huge, and everywhere. A couple of years ago we poured a concrete patio where it grew, and it fortunately hasn't popped back up. I'll be more careful of what I plant from now on.

[@candyrose3651]

I love nasturtium.

[@Zach-h2l]

Im a new gardener who just got a community garden plot. I kept pulling these weeds, I pull, they come up, over and over, so bothersome, I just want to prep my plot for my first growing season! Pondering stuff to plant, I see info that various flowers that might be good to plant with my various veggies, think, maybe I'll buy some nasturtium seeds. A couple days later I coincidentally happen to see someone mention in a vid about tomatoes that theyre also planting nasturtiums... and oh wow, I didnt know that's what young nasturtium plants look like. Oh wow... that's the plant Ive been pulling up this whole time 🤦‍♂️. At least I figured it out soon enough to still have a few growing, and before I bought those seeds 😅

[@lindabell125]

Nothing hard about growing radishes. Easy peasy just plant water and eat.

[@candyrose3651]

@@lindabell125 I had a hard time last year. All of the radishes ended up tiny and very spicy. Nasturtiums came up easily and kept flowering all season. What's easy for you might not be easy for everyone. Different soil, time constraints, shade/sun exposure, and water inclusions all have a big effect on any plant growth.

[@westcoastmeltingpot3234]

Alyssum is a favorite of mine. One wild plant survived the winter against the east side of the house. It was always blooming but then quadrupled in size in February.😊

I think that they look Beautiful, but don't have a nice smell, at least the ones I been able to sniff. They get me, because I still bend down to Smell the beauties❣️😒🫣

Do they invade the lawn? I bought seeds of the golden baske one, which is perennial, but now I'm second-guessing out of fear of lawn invasion 😟

[@MagnakayViolet]

@@sangueguerriero9538 I live in Georgia which can be pretty dry between rains in the summer, so most flowering plants don't spread far unless there is sufficient shade.

Back in the 90s, when I was a kid-teen, McDonald's had a promotion for the Batman Forever movie that included happy meals with Batman specific toys. The Poison Ivy toy was a little planter that came with alyssum seeds. Because Ivy is in Arkham Asylum most of the movie, I thought the seeds said _asylum_ on the package. It took me multiple years, and talking to my stepmom, to finally learn that they had not been called asylum at all. It was alyssum and we actually had thousands of them in our garden already. I never got soil for my little planter so the little pack just kinda sat around until it eventually got thrown away... I assume. Still to this day, any time I see those tiny little flowers, I chuckle to myself. I'm still convinced they picked those particular seeds because their name looked so much like “asylum”.

[@more_mika_moonbeam]

Don't do that to me. Pronunciation of Chamomile made me spit out my chamomile tea. Hahhahahahah absolutely hilarious 😂

[@stephanginther9051]

Spearmint and peppermint are basically weeds and grow wild in North Dakota, which is a pretty harsh climate. They are pretty good for starting gardens from what I heard.

I planted the Elyssium in a pot when I first moved in my house🪴. Someone in the house thought they can just reuse the dirt if they got what they thought were dried up weeds later that year🍂 (not knowing that those supposed weeds were) in a couple of different places on the property. 15 years later not only do these little white and purple flowers spring up on the property but they’ve mixed in the the local wild flowers on the surrounding hill sides. It’s gorgeous every spring 🌸🪻🌼🥰

Don't forget the grain that keeps on growing, amaranth! 1kg of amaranth seeds can grow a full hectare of the plants...and produce upwards of 1,000kg of seeds. It was also a major grain of the Aztec Empire prior to the Spanish invasion, on par with maize.

[@harmonicaveronica]

I thought the chamomile was dill at first and I was thinking "yup, very accurate, I didn't even plant dill and it's everywhere." It almost certainly came from the community garden compost! Pretty much every single plot has dill in it

Nasturtium leaves, stems, seeds and flowers taste amazing. The seeds taste very similar to wasabi, but don’t burn for quite as long. They make a great snack.

The FIRST video he made didn’t get any comments, so then posted this with silly chamomile name, pronunciation, then sat back and watch the comments come in 😉 . (it actually sounds dubbed if you listen closely.) Oh, and I totally agree about nasturtium. Delicious peppery leaves that you can sprinkle into salad and the flowers are edible as well. I used to work in a fancy restaurant when I was younger and they decorated the plates with unspayed, organic, flower and leaf.

[@CieloSoleggiato]

Alyssum is a wonderful little garden flower. I was told it wouldn’t survive my zone, but it survived and spread. You can pull it up easy and replant it where ever you want.

Nasturtium tastes really good in my opinion. It's kind of like a stronger version of arugula or watercress.
