Thank God for you

You are confusing me. Why do you keep saying Lactuca if it is Sow Thistle? /Perennial Sowthistle Sonchus arvensis May be confused with prickly sow thistle (Sonchus asper), common sow thistle (Sonchus oleraceus), and though shorter, common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale).

It doesn't seem so strange that the same three companies that make weed killers own most of the products on our grocery isles and the pharmaceutical companies. Then, they tell us that the God given medicine within arms length of almost everyone all over the world are invasive weeds we should work with them to kill. Once I learned that just about every cereal (and most other products) we buy are owned by the same three companies, and that even the limited selection of vegetables in the grocery store are man made hybrids of the wild originals, I began to ask God if He didn't care that the nutrition was being taken out of our food and we are begin fed all this garbage. Then I began researching the original ancestor of broccoli, turns out to be wild mustard, which began this rabbit hole into finding the foods God made for our health. And I realized, oh, our creator actually placed the foods for our healing right under our feet, we walk by them every day. And made them invasive and impossible to exterminate. A couple examples of the hardy medicinal weeds that grow nearly everywhere humans live and are almost impossible to exterminate: Wild Mustard Garlic Mustard Chick weed Dandelion Hemp Nettle Purple Nettle What we thought was a weed was the grace of God.

Fun fact, it is also a nitrogen fixer.

So... cooking apparently doesn't eliminate the fungus' toxin then?

I suppose it’s never too late to thank someone that has given you enough information about what you are searching for. 🙏🫵. I only searched because I noticed there’s one mature plant and hundreds of seedlings. I have tasted it and you’re absolutely correct, how the taste lasts a while. I found out that swine cress and pickled olives are delicious together except for the salt in the olives.

Thanks

Thanks

We use the term "allergies" rather willy nilly when they basically indicate a weakened immune system. Many mainstream doctors prescribe antibiotics at the drop of a hat. Some people claim to be allergic to strawberries when their body is more likely reacting to the pesticides. I always was under the impression I was allergic to shellfish however when I was visiting Germany I ate shrimp with no ill affects. I thought I was cured spontaneously. Got back home and ate some shrimp and my lips and throut got itchy and uncomfortable. Side note.. Many products used in the US are banned in the EU..

I was thinking it would be great if you did a video on the different AI plant recognition systems. I have had some luck with them it seems to be related to the quality and angle of the picture that you can get but this combined with the information in your book is a great resource to find things and then study them further

Iv3 heard It’s very invasive

Im the closest to a local expert in these part. No one around here even eats wild plants.

How long do you cook the root in the first step?

Did you see the bird pepper?

Most of the sources say they grow to about three feet and that's what most of mine come in at. My tallest this year got to be 51" high. It then started to get top heavy. Spiderworts are one of the flowers I pick and eat every morning when I'm checking the yard.

Wow, what a great vintage KZbin find. Everything but the compressed quality holds up

You collect the seeds from red ones for planting.

What a wonderful tree this is for bonsai I wish I lived where it was native.

А у нас в России эту траву называют кислица обыкновенная. И у нас она с белыми и желтыми цветами. А с розовыми я не видела.

I have idenitifed one of these shooting up to 15 feet in one season in the backyard of an abandoned house (8+ years now) and I'm totally not wanting to deal with it!

Why do you need to boil it for 10minutes?

I ate my first thistle this week. Not hard to clean at all (with gloves). I pickled the leaf petioles, and the stem. I served them at a family dinner and they disappeared so fast!!! I used all the spiny leaves for a tincture. Should be good medicine this winter.

Bravo bravo

Michigander here. Love those right thumbed leaves 😊

It's healthy to eat this

I have hundreds of purple amaranth plants sprouting in my garden this year!

This guy reminds me of mitch hedburg

Please don't shake the plants like that. You through my focus out!😅

I have gotten the windshield screen, heard of this method elsewhere. I hadn't seen velcro added. Pretty sure I have some. Weekend project coming up! I'm just dipping my toes into solar cooking.

Thank you #eattheweeds @eattheweeds I just stumbled across your channel cuz I'm looking to plant my first tree in my backyard first time home owner and there aren't enough trees around. I live in South Texas so if anybody has any advice please let me know. TIA 🙏🏽 they sell one at Lowe's so I'm exited. I appreciate all of your information such a blessing for people who don't know anything about trees 🙂

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Thank you for clearing up misinformation

Thank you! Going to cook some up today. Thanks for the tip on the marsala wine and the Palo Cheri I’m gonna try with my other yard greens! Congrats on your new book published by DTG!

I'm wondering if these contain oxalates the way spinach does, and if oxalates go into the cooking water, and if drinking that water is consuming the oxalates.

Love your clear identification pics n flavor info on my weeds in Wisconsin , wish you'd tell us if it just leaves, plus flowers, and roots edible?

Thankyou. Went for a walk yesterday and picked some ripe berries, and was wondering if they were edible. Im in Australia.

What part of the world?

So I have to say…. I’m surprised at finding this channel. I have this growing in my yard. I found out what it was and I’m searching for ways to kill it without killing my grass… and I find folks eat it? Well come pick all you want. I want it gone. LOL

The rotten cheese yes i thought parmesan first time i tried. Maybe they werent ripe enough

2 heads on that bunya. What a nice tree.

I live in Miami. I remember putting my tongue to the inside of one of these and it tasted terrible. How do you make it taste good?

Thankyou for the upload. I love this national park. Truly a treasure in Florida. Can’t believe how much food is out there!!

Hi dean. I remember stumbling on your channel when I was very young. You were the first person that got me hooked on plant identification and ecology. I haven't visited your channel in a long while. I hope you're doing well. Thanks for all of the great lessons. You are a wonderful teacher. Your work has touched me, and I believe so many others.

Keep uploading videos!!!

How do I get rid of million lacebark elm seedlings in my yard? I need help.

Fruit is closer to 3/16" not 3/8".

I always used it for dried décor in the fall time. Spray with a bit of hair spray or soak in glycerin water to retain the blooms. Makes great flower arangments.

Ground cherries are toxic when green but I absolutely love the ripe ones, and its extremely prolific in Florida.

When driving it’s probably hard to spot them. But they like damp ditches and so does Elderberry. So in end of April ( for North Florida) when you see Elderberry cream colour flowers by the side of the road check out grass. You might find them too.
