I literally bought chamomile seeds at the nursery yesterday. Whatever I’m growing, Kevin is ready to help.

KEVIN YOU SAVED MY GARDEN’S LIFE, I SAW THIS POP UP IN MY FEED AND I REMEMBERED I LEFT MY GATE OPEN AND ALL OF MY SEED PACKETS AND TOOLS OUT!!! I have so many deer and raccoons, this literally saved my garden lol, I ran out with a flashlight immediately and now I’m back to watch this video.

I just use a dinner fork to harvest. Used to do by hand but age and arthritis eventually made it too painful so started using dinner fork.

Dog car sickness or anxiety while in a car. We use camomile when we go on trips with our dog, Nick. Sometimes he just starts to feel icky, like driving on a dark, you guessed it, desert highway. Once we see him start to feel icky, we’ll put 1 tea bag in his no-spill water bowl. Swirl it around, wait about 5 or so minutes and let him start lapping it up. Not more than 20 minutes later, he’s looking, acting and appears to feel better. Good luck in the car and the garden and until next time keep on gardening.

Favorite chamomile recipe is super easy: steep the dried flowers in warm milk, instead of water, remove them after about 10 minutes and add some honey. It honestly does wonders if you're having trouble sleeping 🥰

Growing my own chamomile for the first time this year and just transferred them out into the garden. So exited to see how it pans out!

My chamomile actually survived the winter and I'm hoping to make some tea with it along with some dandelion

A car's dash under the front or rear windshield in the sun can work well as a free dehydrator

[baronw]

you should do a garden bed with a variety of tea plants

Great timing! Here in the Netherlands a big supermarket chain hands out little seedstarter packets with your groceries and chamomile is one of them. Now I know how to properly look after it

I have roman chamomile growing in between pavers in a part-shade area of my yard, and oh my goodness the sweet apple smell when I step over them is pure magic.

Chamomile is native here and it just naturalises everywhere. Some pets and animals actually really enjoy them as well, try giving leaves, stems and flowers to rabbits for example...🐰🌱

Growing chamomile for the first time this year. Had my first tiny harvest today. It's wonderful.

German Chamomile if left to seed, can reseed in the area it’s planted, especially if the area has favorable conditions

“...give it that boop, you wanna give it a little bit of that beep...” L O L 😂😂😂😂 Kevin you’re a dork like me, and I’ll never harvest chamomile the same again 🤣

[erickcruz]

I was going just to grow chamomile from seed today but I didn't know how so thank you Kevin you the

[vlong]

Where's the merch that says "give it that boop"?! 🌼
AND "botanical blessings" with Kevin looking like a saint?! ✌🏽
I'd buy that merch in a heartbeat! 😂

[vacantandstainedd]

I've been trying to grow chamomile in a flower box. I didn't realize I had wild, native chamomile (matricaria discoidea) growing in my yard!

Can we please have a calendula care video now? 😍✨
