Hey Juliette, hey I was wondering if you knew where to get any of those Campanula plants that FeralKevin was talking about in his videos? One he did not know what kind it was and the other he called a Pyramidalis and I can’t find that anywhere to purchase. Do you know of any sources? THANKS…
Hey Michele, arnt his videos great??? He has SO many more that you should check out. No, I dont know where to get the Campanula plants….I looking them up myself after watching the videos, but don’t know where you would find them.
Well I did find some at Hirt’s Gardens which is the CLOSEST I could find to us, they are located in OHIO. They also have a good price on Stinging Nettle plants…BUT what I am not sure about is if ALL the campanula’s are edible and if some are better than others (which is sort of what I get out of the video)… There is very little info out there about this! I did find some Pyramidalis seeds from Diane’s Flower Seeds, but it looks as if they might be a little challenging to germinate!
And, you are soooooooooooooo right about his videos…they are AWESOME!!!
OH and the campanulas I found at Hirt’s are not ANY of the ones he suggested nor are they any of the ones I found through my searches for edible campanula…so I am not sure about purchasing theirs to eat! But I did call them and their reply was “they are NOT poisonous AT ALL so we see absolutely no problem with eating them”…
OK So I purchased three kinds of campanula SEEDS from Diane’s Flower Seeds that through my searches look to be edible…pyramidalis (the bigger one in the video he talked about), persicifolia, and latifolia. The last two are discussed in this article http://www.pfaf.org/leaflets/ediborn.php
We will see what happens!
I would be happy to share some of these seeds with you if you want some Juliette!!!
I also purchased one of Hirt’s campanula plants and one of their stinging nettle plants! Not expensive either! I have ALWAYS wanted a stinging nettle plant and this video reminded me it was time to get one! Their health benefits are unbelievable! Thanks for putting these videos out there!
I would LOVE some seeds!!! I’m SO glad someone got excited about these videos. I just think its so great and have been wanting to try the Campanulas myself. So thanks for sourcing seeds!! Thats great!
So if you want to see one of my favorite youtubers check out the ProduceGarden
OK as soon as I get them I will let you know…should be next week! I have to make several trips to the extension office probably next week and the week after so maybe I can leave them there for you or I can even mail them to you!
And thanks Troy…YEAH more cool videos to watch! On my way now!
