Calendula: From Seed, To Flower, To Salve. 🌼

Calendula is one of our favorite beneficial flowers for the garden. It is a beautiful flower that attracts so many beneficial insects. Once it is ready to harvest you can use it in so many ways. You can eat it, drink it in a tea, and turn it into a magical salve that can heal your skin! Tell us what you think about this legendary flower!

Thank you. I have heard about calendula but didn’t have a clue what to look for.

[GardenloveHomestead]

Great video, I love medicinal flowers. I would love to grow these in my garden. I'll be waiting for your giveaway 🙂🤗

[walterchapman]

Hey, I saw you both on Hoss Tools, Georgia man here to but we're more in the middle of the state. I've subscribed to your channel.

[anitahamrick]

That was so interesting.. thank you. ! I always learn something from you both.
I grew them for the first time and they were beautiful…. Do you put them in oil before they dry out or after you dry them ? Perhaps you could do a video on how to make salve. Thanks again and God Bless ! He does amazing things. !!!
From seed to plant !!!!

[pachadela]

I use calendula oil in hand creams I make for rock climbing, so interesting to know they used it in war! Can't wait to tell people that fact! Still can't seem to grow it from the seed though even though it's so easy to harvest 😂

[MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

thanks for the valuable information, I was thinking those looked like dried up tentacles also.

[StoneyRidgeFarmer]

LOL...Clicked the vid...didn't read tittle...saw all those dead heads and was thinking! AHHH!!! SAVE THEM!!! I save all sorts of flower seed for the edges of pastures, creek crossings and common areas on the farm!
