Hi my friend. It can now be officially Spring. So nice to see your name 'pop up'. You are the best forging teacher and you take time to answer our questions. Love how practical and informative you are. THANK YOU so much for sharing.

Thank you elliemae4535! I hope to be a good long while this time. I've been enjoying a lot of nature's bounty, so I've got a lot of video editing to do. And there is always more to enjoy, just waiting to be picked out there. Happy spring!

[@dpell3543]

It's terrific to see a new haphazard homestead video!!!. I've been snacking on random dandelion flowers, but now I have a plan. Thanks Holly :)

[@HaphazardHomestead]

Thanks, D Pell! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying dandelions - one of the great spring treats! You can use other greens instead of the hop leaves, too. It is worth sauteeing them, too, to cook them down and drive out the water in the leaves. If you try this, I'll enjoy your taste review or any tips for making it better. Happy spring!

[@MetalSlugzMaster]

Welcome back Haphazard. I'll try some dandelion quiche now. Hope you have more videos in the making, the weather's gorgeous in the valley lately.

[@HaphazardHomestead]

Thanks, MetalSlugzMaster! I do hope you try the quiche and give me a taste review or tips for making it better. You can use any other greens, too, if you wilt them first so they don't make a soggy quiche. I've got a lot of videos in the making, absolutely. There's so much good food all around us, just waiting to be appreciated. And that's even more important in these times. Spring is a wonderful time here in Oregon's Willamette Valley, for sure! Happy spring!

[@MetalSlugzMaster]

@@HaphazardHomestead I have no hops, but a little bit of wood sorrel with a dash of sugar to cut the tartness will work I think.

[@limethearticfox4075]

@@HaphazardHomestead I will I can't wait I have lots of dandelions in my yard😁😁😁

[@erwynnipegerwynnipeg8455]

You finalized my decision to buy Dandelion, Borage, and Chervil seeds to grow my own delicious "weeds"❤️

[@HaphazardHomestead]

Good decision, ee! If you see dandelions around you, of the quality that you like - like with big, lush leaves - you don't even have to buy seed. Especially in northern regions, dandelions seeds don't even get pollinated. Their seeds are almost always simply clones of the booming plant, with the exact same genetics. It's pretty crazy, but helpful for anyone wanting to grow their own dandelion patch. Enjoy your future weed patch!

[@erwynnipegerwynnipeg8455]

@@HaphazardHomestead Thanks a lot! Sadly I live in a community complex in the south so all the weeds are full of pesticides and such. Would it be bad to take some seeds from a blooming dandelion if it has been sprayed, Haphazard? Thanks!

That looks delicious!

[@HealthyLifeFarm]

The quiche looked delicious! Your videos are always packed with loads of information which is needed now more than ever. Thank you so much for this vital and free information... Take Care & Stay Safe!

[@HaphazardHomestead]

Hi Peaches, nice to see you here! That quiche was so good. I remember you mentioning your aunt and her love of dandelion greens. And how you have nice memories of her and those greens. That connection to family and friends is one reason I like foraging so much, and gardening, too. Enjoy your garden - and maybe a few weeds, too, lol. And your new chickens! :D

[@sandymiller1907]

Your my new fav.

[@kleineroteHex]

just a brief update: I had about 1/4 cup of redbud blossoms left and mixed them into my last waffle batter the other day, oh was that yummy!!!!! now I need to collect some more!

[@GiveitaGrow]

Wow, that looks good! I love your hand mixer :)

[@HaphazardHomestead]

Hey, Give It a Grow, it's good to see you here! You can use other greens instead of the hop leaves, too, if you wilt them down before adding them to the batter. That hand mixer and I have spent many decades together. I know you will be enjoying your spring, when it finally springs up there in Minnesota!

[@davince-e9593]

OMG I was so worried about you lol. Glad you're fine and still out there foraging :D

[@alwaysfabulous9965]

Love your videos ^^

[@heterodox3487]

Just planted 2 Cascade, might need to move them if they're that aggressive. Bee's are loving those flowers too. Another great recipe! Glad to see you back🍀

[@HaphazardHomestead]

Congratulations on putting in those Cascade hops, Create Synergistic Transformations! I have Cascade and Willamette varieties. They can be monsters! But that can give you plenty of rhizomes to grow a bigger hop patch, to give to friends, or to sell.

[@SherriReves]

Sound like a horse🐎 😆😂! Put hops playlist in my 'watch later'

[@HaphazardHomestead]

Hops are worth growing, even without using the hops to brew beer. The shoots come out before asparagus, so they are always welcome to get on my plate! I hope you can enjoy some, too!

[@kleineroteHex]

I was just wondering where you got to! I love my dandelions!!!!! I just picked about 300 heads and took all the greens off - my thumbs were BLACK LOL I just use my fingers to get the blossoms only, it will eventually wash out, but I will do some more!, I don't have hops, but I will try some dandelion with other wild greens in a quiche!

[@HaphazardHomestead]

So nice to see you here, kleineroteHex! That's a lot of dandelion picking! I can appreciate your dark stained fingers - that takes some dedication! When I'm using just a few dandelions, I just twist the yellow flowers out, but for a big harvest, that's a lot of handiwork! You're right about using other greens for the quiche, just wilt them down first. And I'm always appreciative of a taste review of your quiche, or to know how you improve it. Enjoy what your making with all those dandelion flowers! :D

[@kleineroteHex]

@@HaphazardHomestead all the hard work ones will make wine; need to get more to dry, also use them with the greens on in tea and today I baked some whole heads into bread - I am sitting next to it and it smells so darn good, but I will try not to cut it until tomorrow! I hear dandelion heads go well in home made soap - still have not ventured into making soap.... but I want to try making a vinegar. Then I noticed my redbud is blooming, yeah! more to harvest!!! Spring is so cool, all the free fresh greens!!!! waiting for your next video!!!

[@HaphazardHomestead]

Hey, Tall Cedars, it's so good to see you, well, read you, lol! Dandelions are so amazingly adapatable. I'm impressed they are way up your way, that far north. And you can eat plenty of them without having issues like with some other plants. Enjoy the last of your winter and the first signs of spring!

[@tallcedars2310]

@@HaphazardHomestead Love dandelions, they grow so plentiful and decorate our wild yard too, lol. Good to hear we can eat them freely, I love them in salads and dried. I make a Wild Weeds spice powder every year and was waiting for your first video this year, dat dah dah daaaahhh..... Bet you know there's a question coming:) I'm wondering what wild plants you would make your Wild Weeds powder with? Our selection is limited here but since you are my wild greens guru I thought I'd check in with you on it:) Was happy to see the creeping snowberry plant half uncovered of snow, spring is on it's way, yeehaw!

[@happyme2989]

🥰🥰🥰 I'm new 2 your channel. I love your voice. I'm confused 😞😩 how can you tell a real dandelion from a fake one?

[@HaphazardHomestead]

A real dandelion has only one flower on each stem. That stem will be hollow and it is plain, without any leaves or ridges. Many of the plants people mistakenly identify as dandelions have a cluster of flowers on a stalk, and some even have a flower stalk that has leaves along it and even side-branches. I'll try to take more video footage and do a video about it sometime soon.

[@lalad2943]

Hi there! I'm new to your channel. Just discovered your awesomeness when searching for info on hop plants. I've got a volunteer from plants brought to my area from Germany back in the early 1900s. Prior property owner did nothing with them. I'd like to get them vining properly next year. How do I propagate this single plant that has spread, so that I can put in growing posts like you have in your video? I also want to transplant part of it to another location in the yard, which part of the plant do I cut or dig to do this, and when is the best time? Winter? Thank you for such great information. 💛

[@HaphazardHomestead]

Very cool that you have hop plants with such history, lala d! Yes, the roots and rhizomes growing underground are easy to dig and transplant in the early spring. If you mulch your hops for the winter, they will start spreading and it's easier to dig up what you need. I'm working on a video on Caring for Hops in Winter that shows roots and rhizomes, so keep an eye out for that in August or September. But get your trellis system ready before you plant the starts. They may be small for that first year, but after that -- stand back! :D

[@seshadrisrinath]

I have leaves that look like the hop leaves, but they are smaller and fuzzy, cat's ear type. The plant has a basal rosette and shoots are also fuzzy. What could it be. I'm in SC.

[@rulistening7777]

NO NEW POSTS SINCE 2020. WHERE IS HOLLY ? IS EVERYTHING OK ?
