You are absolutely one of my favorites on foliage everything I love the way you present your information you are very knowledgeable thank you very much young lady and by the way you are a beautiful lady

[@Tinkerbell31326]

I gathered the chives now i am looking for the purple dead nettle. Thank you for sharing. The best is always at the end. I love when you share scripture. God bless you always.

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Thank you, Patty! I hope you find some in your yard also! God bless you too!

[@christinashepherd6893]

My whole yard is covered in these, Iam just looking into what they are, so happy to find all these good things out about them💜

[@364dianaa]

Purple Dead Nettle grows all over my yard here in Kingston, Tennessee. I let the weeds grow in my yard to feed the bees which is wonderful. When the weeds bloom, my yard if full of different colored flowers from all the different weeds. I will know now how to use the Purple Dead Nettle when they grow back in the spring because of your information. People kill the weeds in their yards to have the perfect lawns, but grass is not good for eating as the wonderful variety of weeds. I have never put pesticides on my yard and the bees come from everywhere to visit my clover and dandelions. Thank you for this video. I loved it. The little purple violets that I saw growing in your yard in this video are great to eat too. I eat them every day that they are in bloom.

[@kendall00012]

You are so sweet and kind and wished there were more people like you. I really appreciate your informational videos. And just love the scripture always inspiring. Since I am Christian too that makes us sisters in Christ. ❤️❤️

[@picklerelish1087]

After all that info on this plant you give us a glorious scripture to let it sink into our souls. Stay focused and blessed.

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Thank you for the encouragement, Pickle Relish!

[@AlexaMGilbert]

I have some in my lawn. I wondered what it was. I tried some on my bunny...he liked it. I was going to try to find it in my herb book, but you beat me to it. I will try it in a pesto using chick peas as the base and purple dead nettle at the flavoring. Thank you so much!!!

[@lavernebradshaw8714]

Yes I just went out in my garden and found it… thank you!

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Wonderful!

[@tinamariepayne7291]

I teared up just a little at the very end. What a blessing! Thank you for sharing the word.

[@remnantfewministriesminist495]

Thank you for this video. I went to visit an elderly neighbor from my previous neighborhood and she has a ton of PDN growing in her yard! She gave me a bag and will make a vinegar for daughter to jumpstart allergy season! She told me to pick all I want! God bless her and you!

[@patrickytimothy4027]

You are one of the best foragers on the internet plus you are gorgeous and I mean that in a good way thank you

[@tanyastice9634]

I am feeling so blessed that I found you.

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Tanya, thank you! I hope you really are blessed!

[@markmiller1760]

You are an awesome lady, through Christ! God bless you and your work!

[@ReneePaffile]

When my sister and I were young children we used to have lots of Henbit in our area and we'd pull the blossoms off and suck the nectar from them. I've never tried purple dead nettle, now I'll be watching for it to teach my grandchildren!! Thank you for sharing! 😊❤🙏🏽

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Yes Lisa!! To me, the little purple flowers look and taste almost identical. I hope you find some. Thank you for sharing your memory with us! :)

[@loriannc9302]

Thank you so much, I hoped it was red clover but no it's purple dead nettle! You are a beautiful person inside and out...glad to be a new sub!

[@virginia7191]

I knew about a lot of the eatable plants in my yard, but I never knew that this was eatable as well. Thanks so much!

[@johnharris7353]

Every forager should know these. We're having a wet and cool spring here in Missouri and the greens (weeds) are everywhere. Pokeweed is my favorite, mixed with curly dock, plus a can of store-bought. Gonna get some! Appreciate the scriptures, John.

[@ChristopherJones16]

Just discovered these little gems in my garden two days ago... I've been foraging for them for years and could never find them and now I've been blessed to have them in my garden growing next to my spearmint. They truly are a spectacular looking plant. These would make for great garnishes for drinks although i would feel bad that im wasting them but I think its a great way to introduce people to this plant that theyve probably been mowing in their lawn. Loved the video.. always a treat watching your content. Praise Yahweh.

[@dunavskakarakuda]

You just warm my heart.

[@hmbl-cb1be]

Thank you for showing the dead nettle. I am always collecting stinging nettle with tongs and clippers, drying it and it is wonderful!!!!

[@PREPSTEADERS]

woooo. yes! I'll bet you have some wonderful recipes you could share! :)

[@hmbl-cb1be]

Well, I would love to, but mainly I found out God has given it to us as one of the most nutritious plant's He created. I mainly cut off the seed part along with the leaf and dry. After say a week I add to top of a cup of steamed white rice with raw organic almonds and organic raisins! A little sea salt and pepper and joila!!! Lunch!!!! I just love dried stinging nettle.

[@hmbl-cb1be]

Forgot to mention that to harvest, I use tongs and clippers! 😄

[@kaygarvin1452]

My garden is full of this and I was wondering what it was...Thank you!

[@cpd833]

After watching you video I went to my garden that is still covered with leaves and grass clippings and saw the purple dead nettles peaking out around the edges of my leaf coverings. I haven't tried them yet but will soon. Thanks. Jim from Oregon

[@bsaver5942]

Why are there always people giving thumbs down to every video? What they heck do they want? This is great. Thank you.

[@MrsDanny07]

I'd learned about purple dead nettle last year... because it's all over our yard! =) My children and I were outside today; my daughter (5) was pretending to make a salad. I pointed out the wild chives, dead nettle, and dandelions and told her those are actually edible. =) She seasoned her "salad" with dirt, so it was just pretend. lol This video was very informative. Loved the close up shots of the dead nettle. Thank you!

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Oh yes! As children, this is the time of year we could run out and create quite a little "play feast"... I am glad you are out there with them enjoying Spring today. Make many sweet memories!

[@jenniferd8017]

I love when you share scripture too :) Glad I found your channel, God bless :)

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Thank you, Jennifer!! God bless you too!

[@brendaf6590]

jennifer d me too🥰

[@benebutterbean2737]

Gill O'er the Ground. It was used in beer making before the use of hops. The 'gill' relates to beer, which is where we get out word gallon. Yay!

[@davidgarrison5270]

Guess I need to start harvesting all that is in the yard. Plenty for both the bees and I. Bless you in your endeavor to help others know this valuable information.

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Thank you, David. :)

[@kathleenzimmerman8227]

This purple dead nettle grows abundantly in my front and back yards. I gather & dehydrate it until I'm ready to use it. I just discovered it was edible 2 years ago. Thank you for sharing. I love your Scripture reading at the end :-D God's blessings

[@PREPSTEADERS]

That's great, Kathleen! What are your favorite ways to use it once dehydrated?

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Thank you for this!! Love the sharing of scripture at the end. God bless❤️

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Thank you very much, Homemade Homestead! I like your name! :)

[@Amanda-cf8vi]

Excellent! Thank you! I think it’s so amazing how many things God put right in front of us that are edible and good for us!

[@coldshot5555]

I found one in my yard! This is too cool...I saw the square stem...oh boy!

[@margaretteevans4233]

Thank you! My yard is full of this and speedwell. Now I have more get well herbs.

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Absolutely! :)

[@majors777]

Heck yeah. Like all these medicinal plants in my back yard. This is great!!

[@landonhall1451]

Cool! I've got this stuff growing everywhere. time to drag out the dehydrator while the gettin' is good. Again, something else the family can make fun of me for harvesting. They're finally over the wild chives wild plums, walnuts, mulberries and dandelions. You'd think they'd eventually figure it out. It's free food.

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Oh yes! Mulberries are one of my favorites!

[@letinhsong8024]

I remembered that you had a video on this before, but it took about 45 minutes to track it down! (Because I didn't remember what they were called!) Wanted to review what you had to say about it, because I looked out my backyard window today, and the whole yard was covered with these things!! We had it plowed late last summer to get rid of the blackberries, and this is our new "free" crop! I hope I like it, cuz we sure have a lot of them!

[@Imgenx1965]

Thank you so much for your information on all of these edible plants...I live in Louisiana and so enjoy your information on what can be eaten in the event of...

[@xanadu1jw]

This is growing abundantly in my yard and pasture, so now i know what to do with it. Thank you for the information!

[@dollycolon856]

Thank you so much so much for the info. Would you be so kind to make more video's on eating green, life expansion on greens, herbs extera. Thank you again also for your scripture at the end it's always a blessing.

[@lisabooker6405]

Lovely little plant. Thanks so much for sharing. God Bless you and yours ~Lisa

[@PREPSTEADERS]

And may He also bless you, Lisa! Thank you!

[@sapphiresapphic]

Loved this video! Got tons of purple dead nettle growing in the lawn!

[@robvegart]

In my back yard i'm literally swimming in these. When they said invasive wild, THEY WERE NOT KIDDING! Now they are in the front lawn as well... Thank you for sharing this! At the time of writing this comment we are just about the end of this lockdown (hopefully) during this Corona Virus Pandemic here in N.Y.. Figures about the ants.... You had me on that share of Phillipians toward the end there, SUBSCRIBED!

[@gglotto6525]

Thank you for the scripture.

[@rosecb56]

Sweet lady, thank you.

[@mjc4942]

Always thought this was weeds in my garden. My girlfriend called it henbit. Just made 4 teas from foraging for this, plus mint, muelin & ginseng. Found it just going for a walk. Thanks

[@denisemartinez6456]

I love the scripture as well! great info. We're still learning what we can and can't forage here in NM. love this place, so beautiful! So much to learn and much fun learning. Blessings sweet friend.🌼🌼♥️🌸🌸

[@amys855]

Thank you, I'm suffering from allergies right now and I'll be going out to pick some for tea!

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Wonderful! If you can get yourself some organic, local bee pollen to throw into your food, that will help a lot too if you suffer with allergies, Amy. I hope you enjoy your tea! :)

[@escapematrixenterprisejacq7810]

OMG I have been violented pulling that up for a few years....had no idea what it was. They kept coming up and taking over the yard. Good grief glad I found out!

[@shirleygreen2397]

I just learned about purple dead nettle. My yard is full, I guess it's because I use more natural resources. I don't use weed killer in my yard, because of the dandelion. One day I might need these wonderful weeds.

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Absolutely, Shirley. I want to try to make pasta with them next, the same as you would make spinach pasta noodles. We shall see! :)

[@chrisdarry-roseelrod4481]

These grow all my yard. I didn't know they were edible. Thanks

[@danielvolkmann9390]

Awesome! I noticed some the other day in my yard.... now I'll try it! :)

[@PREPSTEADERS]

I hope you like, it Daniel! It is great thrown in your morning smoothie or evening stir-fry or such. Enjoy! :)

[@sleepygrle6738]

Growing up my sibling and I always called it honeysuckles bc bees really liked them and we didn’t know where exactly honey came from so we just assumed that honey came from the flower

[@shanenolan85]

CJ Harris I had LOTS of bees in my yard today and they were going crazy over purple dead nettles, then they got on my dandelions lol 🐝🐝🐝 I enjoyed watching them for most of the day.

[@lisasavage6052]

Thanks for this video, I was wondering what this pretty plant was in my yard, now I know & a further blessing it's edible! Your channel is also a blessing!

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Well the bees will love you for having so much around, and you might just enjoy making some good dishes with it, avonleanne! :)

[@elfsoul23]

Can you eat the little flowers on the nettle? Also which parts of the dead nettle can I utilize ,and for what use. Like for example can I use the whole thing including leaves,stems, flowers in tea?

[@wb2239]

I am a bee keeper in Washington State and chase the fireweed bloom for fireweed honey. Blooms usually last 3 to 5 weeks. Has anybody heard of dead nettle honey? If so how is the quality ?

[@91210paige]

[@staceyater756]

Is the henbit edible? Sorry if I misspelled that.

Absolutely, Stacey! It is great too! (I just was trying to focus on the Purple Dead Nettle in this video) Thanks for the question!

Gosh You're so Cute ! Of you like Oregon I have a Homestead for You

[@chrischandler3041]

Nice video. All mint plants have that square stem. Have you ever tried sheep sorrel? My me and my wife & girls love to eat it right in the yard in salad. This is a very common plant but if someone happens to not have it, you can order seed in my dad's online store at www.sandmountainherbs.com/deadnettle_purple.html

[@TheGiveittomeall]

is the ant crawling on it going into the salad, too?

[@chrisgreenwood8675]

TheGiveittomeall ha! Extra protein! Yummy!

[@PREPSTEADERS]

haha. It probably could be, TheGiveittomeall!

[@thecook8964]

Ants provide a sharp citrus note

[@johnwpelfrey]

You are absolutely beautiful!

[@kellyh8218]

Is there anything wrong with eating ants 😝

[@lemonbalm2604]

i laughed so hard i hard to pause the video. something about that "fur" and those "furry" little leaves. would it be safe to say edible but NOT your fav?
