Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Very cool website Bryan! This weekend I planted my first vegetable garden in my back yard - it's pretty crude but I'm stoked that I finally got it started. I planted my organic seedlings for tomatoes, yellow peppers and watermelons.Your info on composting was very helpful and I'm getting that started today. I've also got a good reason to go fishing now too - fish head = plant food. - Bryan Shillington herbal remedies Monday, March 29, 2010 2:10 PM {Herbal Remedies} Eat the weeds in Your Backyard!!!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I found this recipe on another list for Chickweed. I'm sure you could substitute lambs quarters for the spinach. Chickweed and Spinach Quiche. 2 cups fresh chickweed gathered before blooms, (that makes about 1 cup cooked) 1 cup cooked spinach 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional) 1 "bar" monterey jack cheese 1 small carton sour cream 1 egg Melt cheese in saucepan in a little butter. When about half melted, add the sour cream. Remove from heat when thoroughly melted and stir in the greens and mushrooms. Add beaten egg. Pour mixture into prepared pie shell and bake at 350 for about 45 min or until top browns. It sounds great and I can't wait to try it!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Ahh them stiinging nettles. I know of them and been stung by them many times when I go to Hungary to visit relatives. There are plenty of them in the hilly and country areas there. You can however drink them as a tea and it is very bitter. You think bulk green tea is bitter? Try a glass of nettle tea. It is dark green too. Dandelion is another weed that is often overlooked and usually destroyed instead of picked and eaten and mixed in your salads. I see them around. It is good for constipation. Now this is one herb I do not need. Another one is Sorrel. It is a little tart but you can either eat it raw or make it into a souffle. http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B3ska Here is a link about soska aka Sorrel in English.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 The next time you go to Hungary and those nettles sting you, just break up/crush/masticate some plantain and rub it over where the nettles got you and this should take the sting away.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hi Lori, I am actually going in less then a month from now on the 28th and back on May 19th. I go every year for the last 4 years. I go back many times before then. The last few years, I did not get close enough to them to get stung. I have been more careful around the countryside areas where they are more abundant. Though my grandmother just picks them up with her bare hands. She is immune to them I guess. I guess I can take some plantains with me. Thanks for the information.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Sure, I can send it to the list. Its pretty much prepared the same as if you were to use spinach, but in this case, its sorrel. You can saute onions and/or garlic, add some flour land some salt. Add a few tablespoons of milk. Then comes in the sorrel. Mix well on low to medium heat. Then as it is almost done, add some sour cream. Now if you want the exact amounts of each item, I will have to get them from home. I am still at work til 7. So If you like I can type in the actual recipe. Have you had sorrel before? Do you grow any or know of anyone? You can also find some in import stores. We have a Russian General Store near us who carries it. Though lately we have been growing it ourselves, along with parsley and dill. We also make a dill soufle very similar to the sorrel and spinach soufle. The dill soufle is one of my favorites. As for fruit, we also have a grapefruit tree. We also had a peach tree, but we were in competition with the squirrels. They would grab them off our tree before they even ripen.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hi Robert, When you go back to Hungary you need not take "some plantains" with you as I was not referring to the banana-related plant. I am referring to a common weed that grows just about anywhere and everywhere. Here is what the two common ones look like: These will also relieve the itch of poison ivy and many other "itches". They can also relieve bug bites. Plantain have a long list of uses, and hopefully you will not ever need to use it! Have a happy and safe trip!

Proverbs 28:19 herbal remedies From: misguided_mortal_1970 Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 15:34:07 -0700Re: {Herbal Remedies} Re:Eat the weeds in Your Backyard!!! Ahh them stiinging nettles. I know of them and been stung by them many times when I go to Hungary to visit relatives. There are plenty of them in the hilly and country areas there. You can however drink them as a tea and it is very bitter. You think bulk green tea is bitter? Try a glass of nettle tea. It is dark green too. Dandelion is another weed that is often overlooked and usually destroyed instead of picked and eaten and mixed in your salads. I see them around. It is good for constipation. Now this is one herb I do not need. Another one is Sorrel. It is a little tart but you can either eat it raw or make it into a souffle. http://hu.wikipedia .org/wiki/ S%C3%B3ska Here is a link about soska aka Sorrel in English.

I'm sure you could substitute lambs quarters for the spinach. Chickweed and Spinach Quiche. 2 cups fresh chickweed gathered before blooms, (that makes about 1 cup cooked)1 cup cooked spinach 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)1 "bar" monterey jack cheese1 small carton sour cream1 egg Melt cheese in saucepan in a little butter. When about half melted, add the sour cream. Remove from heat when thoroughly melted and stir in the greens and mushrooms. Add beaten egg. Pour mixture into prepared pie shell and bake at 350 for about 45 min or until top browns. It sounds great and I can't wait to try it! Peg Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 to the stinging nettles ... i remember working in a town on the eastern side of austria , close to the hungarian border , and seeing a large pile of picked nettles in a friends house . i have known stinging nettles from back home in germany , but i had never seen anyone who actually picked them !! when i asked what they were for , i was told , that they were being saved for winter , when the cold winds blew over the pusta and artheritis struck , that people used the nettle bunches to hit the sore spots with . kind of like a thrashing with nettle bunches . supposedly it was an old home remedy . now ... nettles always bothered me . now that i do have extensive joint pain , i wonder , which way the treatment worked ???? did the pain go away because the nettles worked as an artheritis painkiller , or did the netttles work , because you forgot the artheritis pain over the nettle pain ???? gab > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE herbs/weeds. It kills poison ivy 'right now'.
