The big, tall "weeds" that you pulled out, the ones with the fuzzy light green leaves and the spikes of flowers, are mullein. It's a medicinal herb that is great for respiratory stuff and ear infections. You can use the leaves to create smudge bundles. And back in the day, the leaves were used as toilet paper because they are so soft. :) You can also chop and drop the leaves to add some lovely nutrients to your compost or garden beds.

[@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808]

Mullein is the only thing I use for anything lung-related. Mullein tea with honey is the BEST for cough and chest congestion!

[@sinestau]

And it’s really important for so many insects and butterflies!

[@seekinglight1111]

i was going to comment the same thing. :) And Isabel if it is growing right at your front door it's likely you could benefit from it. I'm learning the plant you need will chase you down. No kidding!! HAHAH

[@abstractswirls]

Yes! Thank you for mentioning it! Mullein is absolutely fantastic for clearing congestion from the lungs, sinuses and lymphatic system! What a beautiful gift from the Earth that it is growing near her home! Can be made into tinctures and tea

[@moss5690]

Haha I was just coming to say the same!

[@Patrick-rc7bm]

Isabel, love your stuff. You know with the cabbages, if you cut them instead of twisting them off and then cut a cross in to the top of the bit that's left in the ground, it will then grow 4 new little cabbages.

[@gregjones3660]

45 cabbages easy.

Have you ever used the Mullein that grows around your home? It may be invasive, but there are so many ways you could use it for good! Smudging with the dried leaves and making a tincture with the blooms for respiratory health❤️

[@kellicoughenour3033]

One huge thing I love about your videos is all of the sounds, they are all so so pleasing. Especially the harvesting and cutting of the cabbage.

[@incog99skd11]

The reason the sounds are so engaging is because the sounds of the city are missing. There is nothing like the silence of the wilderness. On summer days, the only thing you hear at times is the buzzing of insects fertilizing the flowers. So many places today are too noisy to enjoy such treats.

[@kim-pm8gi]

I love your little cabin! This is all we need in life, God, shelter, food,water, clothing and warmth

[@teresadaigle6991]

You are so right….so many have lost that ability to just live without all the material things around them that are unnecessary. Small shelter, warmth, home grown food, and plenty of water is all we need. The knowledge to preserve food and store it is very important. Touching with nature and God. A contented way of life, stress free.

[@vee619]

As someone who also had chopped a ton of wood when young, please change your back posture. It catches up with you as you get older. I strained my back in two places and they come back to remind me. Spread your feet out and bend the knees. This takes off much strain on the back during the swing of the maul or axe.

[@lm5608]

She doesn’t listen. She is very unsafe with everything 😢

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... as a year around home heated with wood ,, it's time to invest in a log splitter ... suggest a 30 ton or bigger being that it's a residence .....,, gas or electric ... will save a tremendous amount of time and sore muscles .. and maybe even a wood chipper .. can create your own mulch for the garden and ground cover on your walkways ....

[@harleyneal1519]

When watching a series like this, I think it’s important to remember that despite the pioneering energy and obvious abilities, it is also a learning curve - there is still much that the series characters have to learn. In this case, I sort of flinched at harvesting the cabbage head because there are always ways to keep a full-grown plant like that continuing to produce. Not knowing and using those techniques displays an unconscious attachment to the supermarket. I flinched again at pulling the “weeds”. Mullein is what is called a ‘pioneer species’ in the natural vegetative cycle - they proliferate in disturbed ground for a reason. Of course you don’t need a whole field of it for herbal uses but they have their role in revegetation that should be managed rather than just trying to eliminate them.

[@MihaelaClaudiaPuscas]

Your videos make me thing about life and how different we all live it. One goes fast pace in London (I did that as well), one lives a slow life in the mountains (like you). I am now in Tuscany and the goal is to life slowly in the Tuscan countryside one day not far from now. The slower the life, the better if you ask me. I need time to stay aware of what is going on around me and be able to appreciate the small things which I wasn't able to see while living in London. Great video Isa, very inspiring!

[@FlamingBasketballClub]

Are you a travel KZbinr?

[@ladyoflove1551]

I loved that little singing snippet at the very end of the video. I was just getting ready to end the video with the "Thanks for watching, we love you all so much" and then there was a little nugget at the end. You two are super adorable together. Would love to hear him sing some more ❤

[@loubadabin420]

Yes, things are heating up this summer. Yet, when you're sweaty and HOT!!! A cool breeze will greet you back!!! Going for a swim with family and friends will certainly cool you down some. Life is a gift, thanks for sharing.....

I've used an assortment of natural deodorants for over 20 years, including homemade deodorant bought from etsy, but have never made my own. I made the deodorant you made in this video and added cornstarch. Best deodorant I've ever used! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@michipichu]

do you find the bicarbonate bleaches fabrics? i used a store bought natural deodorant once that had baking soda and it ruined one of my shirts by bleaching the armpits (i ended up tie dying it though so all good lol). I really want the recipe in this video to work though, it looks so cool

Hello how are you doing?

[@777SEER]

Those tall plants your pulling is the medicinal mullein plant you can make cough syrup with the yellow flowers and use its leaves for toilet paper👍

[@righteouswhippingstick]

Ahhhhh, the grim reminder of all the things physical and emotional i have up to now not been able to have and almost certainly will never have. Such a beautiful world for so many people. And for some even better than that. And for others it is suffering like a beaten dog on a chain for life. Few are the people that care about people though. These are wonderful people here of course. They are our lights and hopes that lead us to stay firm against the difficult struggles and loses of life. Just knowing someone is living a proper life is a special thing.

[@dopek-pop6397]

great video of your day off:). jumping on the bed, walking up the mountain, harvesting from your garden to cook amazing food, chopping wood, fresh laundry (I like hanging my sheets outdoors too...their smell of freshness is amazing), climbing rocks, finding hidden caves, diving in pools, wearing something created with your own hands that you love...what a lovely day off:)

[@yooomama4295]

I noticed the best time to pull weeds is two days after is stopped raining. The ground is still moist so the soil is loser to pull and get all the roots out. From my experience.

[@fatgurlgoneslim]

Isabel. I noticed you have some flowers on the ends of your zucchini. Many cooks (I was a chef in an Italian restaurant in Philadelphia) would take ricotta and stuff those flowers and tempura fry them. They are very expensive by the case. Try using them sometime

Every time I see you cutting up beets , I think what a great dye that would be for one of you garment projects. If you can grow blue berry's up there , that too might lend itself . I remember staining up my clothes when I was young and picking fruit at my grandparents .

[@BillySBC]

It's okay to get one of those Harbor Freight log splitters for $150 bucks to do all that wood splitting for you, it makes it easy. Also the weed thing, pretty sure home depot sells those weed puller tools that you step on and twist and it pulls the weeds out really easy.

[@khrystynalyra]

Actually every weed can be used to do something, for example nettles are a great source of iron if eaten or drinken as a tea, and a powerful fertilizer if left in water for a couple days.

[@piperlynne1]

You should get a dump wagon instead of using a wheelbarrow. I always had trouble using a heavy wheelbarrow and then I got a wagon that will hold over 600lbs and I can easily pull it and it doesn't tip as easily as a wheelbarrow does. When you need to dump it you just unlatch and lift it a bit and it will dump out the load. It's also really good for loading wood and moving it around because you can fit more wood in it.

[@RTCPhotoWork]

Those weeds by the house were under the water spigot. You're going to have them continually come up there because it gets watered regularly. The ground cover will help for sure.

[@jennagodden9604]

I'm sitting by the ocean here in Australia watching your weekly update. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I think you are amazing and beautiful. I always look forward to your new episodes. Thank you x

[@stevey187]

for heating, you should look into biomass stoves. The 'biomass' is a clay layer of insulation around the exhaust pipe for the stove, and will radiate heat for days after burning wood in the stove. This means that you need to burn a fraction of the wood you typically would.

[@mtz123ish]

That cabbage. Wow! Thank you for sharing!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello how are you doing?

[@trayc6708]

Most of those weeds that you think are invasive are actually extremely beneficial and a 100 times more than anything in that garden. I highly recommend you looking into wild plants that you can live on. Pinterest is really good for discovering and learning to identify them.

[@lesmots-vf1xb]

It's amazing that you wonder about what you can tell us and transmit... in fact, everything about you brings us back to the essentials of existence. I like your proposed images, your relationship to nature. All of this is rich in meaning and full of life… for us who are stuck in an urban life from which we cannot escape. What you create with food and clothes is so beautiful! Your creativity is at the center of your life and that, I believe, is your main message. Create with what surrounds us and what we discover. This is the meaning of life. I think. Love from Canada 🙏🏻🤍
