Spreadin' Paht Seeds for Da Birds/Chicago Halloween Exposé

[@SharpEdgeSoda]

"Da low raking angle of da light, it fill my heart with da meloncholy of da days gone past an' emotional ruminations"

[@spitzenkorper-void]

I didn't know the english language could convey what I was feeling. Thanks Al.

[@vapormissile]

Achingly evocative, transcendent verbosity fills me up with light. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐ Two/Five stars, there was seeds in the paht

[@OneMoreBurn]

Al’s mastery of da English language is unparalleled.

[@Somethinghumble]

[@The_Crucible714]

No mere tinkerer of words here! 😏

[@berthajorkins]

Al is a goddamn poet.

[@saucedbutleaking6558]

that shit was beautiful

[@sharonrwilson2727]

Yep

[@Diarmuhnd]

Indeed

[@dproduzioni]

They're both damned poets.

[@kel5944]

I was really confused. I read that as AI instead of as Al.

[@puckingery915]

I can confirm paht is a gateway drug to botany. My grow mentor taught me that learning how to grow cannabis teaches you how to grow most anything

[@greatestytcommentator]

So true! From Paht to 🍅, 🌶 to 🍄 Ain't nature wonderful!

[@ericwichmann9536]

Healthy birds are a healthy ecosystem. Happy Birds is a happy community.

Shoutout to the birds of Chicago 🐦

[@bvalantinas]

Love to see you guys carrying on a proud Chi-town tradition. Back in the seventies we had, shall we say, a much larger quantity of the 'paht' seeds available to us. And, I dare say, a strictly North American landrace cultivar to boot. I remember taking a 2lb. coffee can full on epic roadtrips throughout northcentral Illinois spreading the seeds along the pre-Roundup roadsides that were already teeming with diverse plantlife. Keep up the great work guys.

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

you could say dat

[@wyrmblade]

nice work fellas doing the lords work out there making sure the birds can get the paht seeds nice

[@mephik]

Couple a Johnny Paht Seeds. Love it!

[@WastrelWay]

@@mephik We used to call it "Johnny Reeferseed". It was a thing we did in college (Michigan State). There was a preserved forest area just barely off campus, past a scary-looking windowless building that we called "Section Zero" -- a name we picked up from a New Gods comic book. There were lots of trails there in the woods and we'd find clearings and spread seeds.

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

you could say dat

[@Grateful_Dad_54]

On behalf of your local birds: Thanks!

[@SteveAumann]

Heck yeah, if you feed the birds you will never go hungry.

[@objectreborn.artsewing]

Gawd I love the pure chaotic energy between you two together. Top notch.

[@bobchannell3553]

I let a patch of goldenrod grow at the corner of my house. In the late summer when it's flowering I always see lots of wasps, hornets, bumble bees and other insects there. Most of them have gone to seed now and look pretty much like the plants you're showing us now.

[@AttenuatedNecronym]

I love Al. He's a treasure. I want nothing but the best for him.

[@AnnaFaught]

This video was such a balm this week. Thanks for everything you two do.

[@Ashleyyy414]

We are trespassing. But, that's neither here nor there... 😂😂❤

[@emilymiller-rouse6127]

You guys are the best I love when I see a new video was posted like a little seratonin boost😆

[@electricbluesound]

I thought I saw Al in Kilbourn Park when I went to vote yesterday, but I was too surprised by the encounter to say hi, so if it was him- hi!

[@blu12gaming44]

A gateway drug for getting into Botany...beautiful!

[@fascistseatdonuts]

Growing up on the southside of Chicago, we used to go searching for "ditch weed" when our stashes ran out.

[@Cannabissssh]

I think these videos where ya collaborate with the homie are my second favorite kindsa videos you make; my favorite are the ones whereya showyer face. So handsome and sharp. Love & light from Pennsylvania❤

[@Papawcanner]

Decades ago me and my buddies found a shit load of feral pot around a quarry in Lemont Illinois We hung it up in my attic and smoked the leaves for the biggest headache we ever had . At 78 I have a quarter acre vegetable garden with a few plants .

[@objectreborn.artsewing]

Nice

[@AutismoGamer]

Leaves tend to be used more for hash and oil collection. The flower/nugs is what everyone love Good memory I assume

[@dudelebowski1135]

Al is the best. More Al

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Just two birders hangin’ out down at the tracks. Nice.

[@blargdarsky392]

In 2021/2022 I had an entire gallon jar full of paht seeds. Likely hundreds of thousands. They ended up spread out between Oakley and Lodi California. In ditches, marshes, parks, flood basins, and creeks. Theres a small island just outside of the Big Break Marina across from the SS minnow. I tossed tens of thousands of seeds there alone. Haven't been back though

[@tomanderson7129]

When I was a youngster I ended up with a shoebox of seeds from all the Colombian I was smoking. I put them in the bird feeder that hung from the magnolia in front of the house. The birds really enjoyed them. One day though, my mom said "I want to show you something". There were a bunch of plants growing under the bird feeder. Oops!

[@jameseglavin4]

Ma, it’s called an INVESTMEEENNT

[@pizzarune5]

Taday is da election, an I don' want ta be thinkin 'bout it. I see the youtubes with Al on da thumbnail, I click.

[@StarStruck180]

I started jumping up and down with excitement when you showed the Oenothera seed pods and... made me so happy man, thank you so much for the videos you make. They all make me so happy, actually teaches me a lot, and I get to see plants and flowers that I can no loner see anymore. I really, REALLY want to thank you. Keep up the amazing work, I love your style of videos, and your personality so much. Thank you

[@michaelherman1578]

You guys have truly brightened my election day morning. ♥️

[@robertpeterson8677]

I’m the guy that works that line Joey, that’s called Cragin line. There’s only one industry left at the south end called Alpha bakery,,, we service it on Tuesdays and Fridays. We come out of Proviso through Des Plaines and around towards Mayfair hate to correct you but they do not spray that whole line. It’s 100% neglected because there’s only one job out there. Spread away, young man. Love your show!

[@overbythere]

and real talk, Alpha Baking makes the S. Rosen’s brand poppy seed buns for Chicago style hot dogs! That tanker of corn syrup (?) turns into the angel fluff!

[@robertpeterson8677]

They actually make bread for portillo’s, chic filet, and city of Chicago schools. We only bring flour there, no tanks

[@dapperninji646]

I only found this channel and started growing flowers and learning abouts plants cause I grew pot. lol

[@aetropose5405]

Al needs his own show, I don't care what it is but I want to watch it.

[@Heavilymoderated]

Legends spreading legends in the low raking angle of the light.

[@gentlemanbirdlake]

Hey look we got a regular Joey Paht-n-seed over here.

[@megaohmaudio5963]

You two are always doing good work for the community and we thank you for it. Glad a Symphyotricum blew into that planting - remarkable, tough, and lovely plant. Spot-on description of autumn by Al!

[@hankskorpio5857]

Immediately love the intro. Reminds me of the old crew heading to the nature center for a run and a smoke.

[@erinmcdonald7781]

Feedin da birds…. and gifting us with botanical knowledge and poetry. You guys are national treasures! 💚

[@bak4320]

I love when uncle Al teaches me new words

[@justguy-4630]

Such a treat to see the occasional Al.

[@Ravenholm337]

Just when we need Al Scorch the most… what a gift ❤

[@bryan4181]

Real men get "emotional ruminations" go Al go

[@catherinehubbard1167]

Poetizing and botanizing with a Chicago accent is hilarious. This whole video is. Thank for this. Good luck to the pot seeds and the birds.

[@stacehansen3140]

I love that y'all are out there doing the best y'all can. May you be safe, happy, and healthy.

[@Maxjoker98]

This really is about feeding the birds next to the railway tracks so that trains get shit on by birds more. I appreciate your service ;)

[@hestheMaster]

Going back to Chicago Joey with a visit with Al. I recognize Kolmar Ave right away. Nice!! Never forget to sow some fatt seeds and never forget your roots. Those steps you were walking on were one side of a wall now buried and that was for a road underpass decades ago but now filled in!

[@SteveAumann]

Excellent video, I like how you planted that area next to the driveway.

[@grannyplants1764]

That yellowish color might be Ochre, and notice the tassel shade pulls, OMG my Granny had them. Never saw a pumpkin 🎃 skeleton nice. I loveSymphiotrichum, it’s so pretty and makes nice cut flowers when there isn’t much else, and the bees go nuts over it.I so love Onothera too,such a pretty easy showy plant. Much love to you two! 💚🌿🍂

[@Maj7]

Always glad to see Al.

[@junkinstein2856]

Hell yea I wanted to dk this for yrs now I love what your doing here and your content happy growing

[@onemorecowswag]

Cannabis was the first plant I ever germinated, now I grow all kinds of stuff.

[@kso808]

Interesting notion about planting things close together, to shade out each others roots and keep weeds to a minimum!

[@ADDeeJay]

I notice that white waxy stuff when I work with Bismark palms. They're an everglade palm, but they're being used in the southwest deserts where I live now. The wax helps them withstand 120+ summers here, and they grow almost twice as fast as the washingtonias and brahea. I've been worried about them for awhile after I saw them went from being an occasional thing u see here and there to being one of the most widely used landscape palms now (at least they aren't queen palms).

[@kurtsassenfeld9850]

Johnny Pahtseed and his trusty assistant saving the world one bag of paht seed at a time❤

[@Toddis]

For me Cannabis is best utilized at night when you're done with your daily grind It lowers my blood pressure too much when I'm moving around during the day, but it's a fantastic creativity stimulant when I'm done with that

[@junkettarp8942]

Thanks Tony and Al.......You guys have helped us allot...The drunk now walk ..............and walk everyday.....and swim and learn botany...where not so good yet but in a few years we will be as good as you Tony.......You and Al are our hero's man.

Goddammit, Al, I love your poetic heart.

[@hanslain9729]

Thanks for feeding the birds.

[@oliverschultz4943]

Can't wait to see whether some of the seeds manage to grow and establish themselves over the upcoming months and years.

[@awefulwaffle5628]

I really hope there’s going to be a part two of this video next year!

[@richardp6461]

I love Paht thanks for spreading the happy hay. Just got my new CPBBD long sleeve tee shirt in olive green, a white CPBBD tee shirt and a black CPBBD imbordered in green. love them all you must have worked real hard making them 👀 Now GFY bye

[@earthnotforgotten]

I've been searching for Prarie Dock over here in Ytown. I spotted one from the road in a nature preserve but that's about it. Looking for local seeds to start . Also... happy birds happy life haha

[@Peace-v3b]

Oh, those birds love paht seeds..my grandmother's canary wouldn't sing without them.

[@daveferger9947]

Tony apple seed.

[@sirearlgrey2036]

It's not apples, it's paht!

[@_Chessa_]

Came back next year and see if any of the hemp seeds took! ❤

[@RunsWithScissorsSenior]

Seed bombs made from seeds, clay, straw, compost about the size of a golf ball, allow to dry enough to stay together and chuck them to various locations. We used to toss them from the car along Rt.1 near Kennet Square, Pa. just beyond the mow zone next to the wood line. Amish farmland. Not much traffic. Asparagus galore. This is the NE corner of Maryland. Susquehanna. If you ever find yourself there, take the river road below the Conowingo Dam. Rt.1 The headwater of the Chesapeake Bay. Eastern woodlands rainforest. Steep river valley. Very biodiverse.

[@robina.9402]

Oh damn, I'm growing mountain mint on my balcony, but didn't realize it got that big. Time for a pot (not paht) upgrade.

[@timotrioz]

Joey, another great video! It's so nice to see you've given Ed Kemper's little brother a job. It has to be hard for him after what his brother did. He's very well spoken and a great addition to your channel!

[@paulhammons7077]

Thank you for letting everyone enjoy this adventure.

[@rustyschackleford5800]

Solidago is great for reseeding areas after removing garlic mustard or stiltgrass.

Always loving the urban botany and unauthorized forestry/gardening viseos6

[@Sorrowful00]

The first time I've seen american goldenrod was in croatian wetlands, growing in the same habitat as the delicate Pinguicula alpina and creating dense monospecific blocks of vegetation that smothered everything else. It's unbelievable how underestimated the damage invasive species can do to the environment.

[@swaddington9399]

Al really is a poet - hes a genius! Chicago looks like such a cool city, gotta go visit

[@portableversion]

Dang im so glad that white flower was in this vid. Ive had some come up in my yard and i wondered what it was. Hmm part of the sunflower family

[@threeraven13]

Love ya work as always! Spreading the good vibes

[@hopehope8974]

''Symphyotrichum Pilosum''.......Now I know what these are and there are millions of them blooming along the roads in southern Georgia. I always learn something cool from you. You are correct that Cannabis is usually not aggressively invasive. The wild stuff that invaded the midwest is mostly of Turkish origin and was dry farmed in it's native range. Our prairie country with it's abundant rivers and decent rainfall was paradise to these hardy Middle Eastern strains. Our wild hemp is from strains carefully selected to be non psychoactive. There are feral hemp strains that are very psychoactive,with some like Dakshinkali sativa from Nepal and the Uzbekistan indica comparable to modern hybrids , up to 15 to 20% THC content. Both of these and many other wild weed strains are cheap and easy to internet. Nice river you got there Chicago...Be a shame if some of these bastids got loose on ya.😃

[@katiekane5247]

Haven't seen a cannabis seed in many years 😢 The Symphiotrichum and all the Solidago have all withered and gone to seed in north Georgia. We've been pretty dry, rain wise. Seems it was colder at the end of October when I lived in Rogers Park late 70s. Too bad we can't grow legally here, hemp was a big crop in the past. Always good to see you and Al improving the hood 😊

[@Mykeyharp]

Does anybody remember how large the elephant seeds were back in the '60' .

[@bartendersdaughter6003]

Chicago is beautiful.

[@bigjcfromthecfp]

Weed totally got me into loving plants! Now I run an ornamental nursery and an organic veggie farm.

[@davidruiz2474]

Damn... the birds must be thanking all the crappy growers out there who let their plants get pollinated 😅

[@barbarasiders288]

Spreading the love

[@dylanbardin965]

Love this channel man. Can't get enough

[@Icebikerwife53]

Those rails look like they get some use, so doubt it will be converted to trail to soon. But I like the idea of sowing seeds for future trail users.

[@caryallen8409]

Getting PTSD from the Dock, reminding me of the Broadleaf Dock (Rumex obtusifolius, which is in a different family, but looks a lot litke it) that is one of the most persistent and hard to eradicate invaders of my native plant acreage here in the Pac. NW.

[@grannyplants1764]

It is one big tough plant, but gotta admit it has one amazing taproot 🌱

[@nickdee5764]

I had a bird that that would clean my shitty schwag for me. True bro birb

I remember in the UK, Red Eye Express magazine! 1ST Edition had a baggy of hemp seed on the front in the newsagents!

[@bobchannell3553]

I'm pretty sure I have some box elders growing in my yard too. One of them is growing right next to my house. I've been cutting it back for ears. It keeps coming back. I wouldn't mind having one of these out in the yard though. My mom had one that my grandmother gave her growing in the center of our front yard. It's been there since I was a kid.

[@WevvMang]

not only the natural local flora, but the fauna as well. I hope I did that right.

[@MrPhillip2]

Back in the day, we put excess seed in with bird feed in our feeder. This in the hope that they’d poop out seeds around Houston. These days, seeds are for sale at $15/each. Never thought I’d see the day.
