I am in California, 7 years ago we were in a long drought, I dug up my lawn and replaced it with poppy, calendula, and lavender. The calendula reseeds every year. My front yard is a birds and bees heaven.

Ana is one of the best additions to Epic Gardening. She needs a full channel (or to have content every week on EG!!!) - I want to learn all the things about herbal uses for plants now. She really broadens the information and adds robustness to Epic Gardening. Your content channel-wide has really become well-rounded and I love all aspects of it but have definitely found myself checking more and more for new Ana content recently :)

My mother always planted calendula. They are reliable, not fussy and bloom a lot!

Last year, I grew some and in the fall I infused some olive oil with the flowers. Today, my granddaughter was here with some allergic reaction, with a rash that was itchy. I had her put some of the calendula oil on it - and within a few minutes, the itching had stopped … my first wow story with the calendula! And then I come online and this video is the first thing I see! Huh!

You cited your sources and acknowledged the limitations of the source. This: channel, brand, and person have appreciated much in both value and reliability to me.

I grow Calendula Officinalis all over. I make oils, healing salve and lip balm. You can eat the flower. They are coming up now. I only plant one per hole and leave space in between because they get huge. One year I planted them too close and they got powdery mildew. I also make sure now to only water the base of the plant. I love them. They are my favorite.

I love this channel because of the information that comes with it. Most people: Grow this. Kevin: Grow this because its history talks about calendars and lunar months and shows how it can be used in a variety of ways to benefit health and wellness. Or just have something really pretty to look at. Here are some more benefits! A, B, C, D, etc... The informative and historical side of this channel is a breed of its own. Well done sir.
