Hi Dane. Can it be dried and stored for tea that way. I just got lots from my allotment today....thanks.

[@eabird4358]

I just found a nice patch of dead nettle. It has an ammonia scent . Is that normal?

[@jawinter4245]

This is why I don’t use chemicals in my yard. Nature knows what she’s doing.

[@melodies5622]

Exactly. Primitive gardening is so much easier too! Need to clear a spot for a garden? No worries, don't break your back sodding.. use your grass clipping to suffocate the grass instead. Its great for mulch around shrubs, hosts and such..

[@davidhissey4851]

Yes and I hear that Mother Natures' Husband is also quite inconceivably awesome as well!

[@peterpisspotty3052]

This pretty little plant grows everywhere I live in SW France and not even avid gardners knew what it was. I asked so many people "what is this?" and no one knew. Eventually, I went into a Florist shop to see if she could identify it and she told it was a poisonous weed. I'm so glad I did my own research.

[@denisedspain7991]

We have it here in Oklahoma and Texas too!

[@BobDeGuerre]

@@denisedspain7991 it's all over the place here in Southern Illinois too

[@CreativeCreatorCreates]

I knew I saw it in my yard! NC here :) It’s growing next to my favorite plants, plantains. (Make the best burn, cut and wound salve I’ve ever experienced.)

[@rebeccaspookyduran7864]

They grow all over Georgia, ( US state, not the country), and probably all over north America. I used to pick them with other wild flowers for my mom when I was a little girl.

[@srudie]

I grew up in Oregon and we had it there and now I live outside of St Louis and we have it here❣️

[@hedysladovich1737]

Also provide nectar for early pollinators! I like the grassy flavor in a tea doesn't even need sugar.

[@maryannchandonnait8094]

I actually purchased these plants about 15 years ago and planted them in my Yard. I love the look of the plant and it comes back every year. Didn't know it had so many medicinal uses. Going to try it in a tea

[@jeremydehart7466]

It makes a wonderful tea with honey.💯👍🏼

[@tatzja8074]

I thinks it’s beautiful too!

[@katiebug5273]

I agree! Nearly my whole yard is full of it

[@haahnbalghan6556]

Another person enlightened. Tons of this particular plant grow on the hillside outside my house. Weirdly this is also where my dog used to poop as a puppy. But they also say good things grow in poop. Your brilliant and the information was needed. Thanks a bunch for introducing us to the purple dead nettle.

[@murzua5]

You answered your own question!! Dead nettles are free. The powers that be don't make money if it's out there free!

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Truth ✌️

[@rosieg7582]

My bunnies love this, I guess I'll try it myself! Loving your videos, you're like the Bob Ross of plants & nature. ☺️

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

One of my favourite compliments iv ever received! 😁

[@chekyism]

Love this, had some for lunch in my egg omelette with some wild chives. Thank you very much, learned a good bit! ☺️

[@ramonajolley1966]

Thank you so much. I have a whole yard full of dead nettle. I plan to dehydrate a lot. I heard once that if there was an abundance of a particular herb in your garden it was put there for you.

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Yes, we've read that too 😁

[@Sup1719]

What a lovely thought.

[@annotterrealm1549]

Never use chemicals on my lawn. I love the wild flowers.

[@angelicafreund8551]

More and more people are honoring "No Mow May"! The flowers in my No Chemical Lawn are so Beautiful and the pollinators love them. Our lawn is so green...unlike the mcmansions with the armies of landscapers and toxins.😅

[@casimiralexander]

I found this beautiful little plant growing in my garden and i am giving it its own bed.

[@suzywilliams4424]

I'm watching this while sipping a cleave and dog violet tea! I love this channel!!

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Awesome tea!

[@InkstarsAndStatic]

Oohh I love this video! There were a few of these at my elementary school years ago and I used to pick and suck the nectar out of the flowers. Didn’t learn what plant this was until recently (bad habit, eating plants I don’t know, I know. But back then I figured hey, if it hasn’t harmed me yet then it’s most likely not dangerous). Super glad to have found this video and your channel!

[@feedingit]

Holy cow! How did I not know about dead nettle? Awesome info! Thanks for sharing a tea! 🙌✌️

[@GmamaGrowz]

Cheers 🌿 this is my first season with purple dead nettle 💜 Thanks for sharing your experiences!

[@tracycrider7778]

This is all over my yard & bees love it❤

[@ukulelekitten15]

Excellent, helpful info. Well done. Thank you. 🙏🏼

[@angeljons]

My back yard is about 50% covered with this. I was looking on line for how to get rid of it when I discovered that it was a good thing! I picked some, washed it off and will try it in my morning smoothie. Those in my yard aren't as pretty or big as the ones you show here but I hope they are just as nutritious. I don't treat my yard with chemicals because I have pets that like to lay in and chew grass. I hope I don't hate the taste. 😊

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Did you like it? 🙂

[@peterpisspotty3052]

Putting these in a smoothie is a great idea - I'll definitely be doing this. I usually put them in a soup with stinging nettles

[@J1X1N]

I find them tolerable, a bit bitter and the fuzziness can be off-putting. But i like asparagus alot so its yummy to me 😁 also helps to remind myself theyre sooo good for you! Many herbs are!

[@Wispertile]

I really loved having tea with you! Thank you for the great videos!!

Love what you do young man! 🙏🏻💚🌷 I have this in my yard, I just didn't know what it was but I had a hint that it was a good thing coming from the pantry/pharmacy of the Creator who thought of everything and put everything we need all around us for our well being! 🙏🏻💚🌷 Gratitude

Much love to you 😁💚✌️

[@brettwhiteMusicFan]

This is the first video of yours that I have seen. It was a KZbin suggestion. I found it informative and I enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. I checked your channels other video content and subscribed. I look forward to seeing your other videos.

[@deani9011]

Thank you SO much for this brilliant video! I think the reason these plants are on the weed 'hit list' because they (the drug companies and such) don't want us to know how good they are. I have a message I would like to share with you too. This may sound a bit 'out there' but it's true. If you sing to the Sun of love and thanks, the Sun will answer you with stronger healing rays. It's miraculous, divine. Thank you again. With light and love always🎵🌞💖

What a great video. I love the reference to the Jetsons! My husband and i joke about how we thought, as children, the world would be so like it in the future! I have this dead nettle growing also, I knew it was a special wildflower but now I know why. I am going to dig a bit from my lawn and put it in a part of my garden where i can keep an eye on it. Can you tell me if this is related to white dead nettle and is white dead nettle also edible? I think I'll do a little watercolor study of the purple dead nettle!

I was also told it was a powerful laxative so consumption should be limited. Is that true do you know?
