12 Edible Plants That Grow In Your Yard

There are a lot of common edible plants that can grow in your yard. Things like Dandelion, Clover, Violet, Plantain, and more are easily found and gathered from a yard with little effort. In this video we count down twelve different plants that are in your yard. This list is by no means exhaustive however it should give you an idea that there can be plenty of diversity in a lawn if you look carefully.
Many of these plants, or varieties of them, grow all across the United States and the world. They also have parts that are usable at different times of the year, as well as some being medicinal so there is something at least one of these plants can offer you. Whether you are looking for desserts, sauces, condiments, greens, vegetables, or even something like glue from the pine tree the choices abound. Proving in one way that you don't have to go very far to find edible plants.

[@dawitafrica9565]

Excellent video thank you.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're welcome!

[@Verienes-bracelets]

Oh!last dandelion of the season!

[@conradgallardo9046]

Great video

[@yukinohana5583]

Woow, now I know my garden full of food 😊

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Yep, gardens are a valuable resource for not only plants we love to grow, but also wild edibles that people don't want growing in their gardens. Glad this was helpful for you Yuki and thanks for commenting!

[@yukinohana5583]

Trillium: Wild Edibles can I eat them raw? I like to make smoothie from veggies and fruit

[@blurose2479]

I knew that curly dock was edible!!

[@yasinabaka]

Thank U. Super pics, but speech is a bit rapid. The printed captions are great.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're very welcome and I'm sorry it was too fast. I have tried to work on that in newer videos. Thank you for commenting!

[@rissamatti8216]

My yard has 9/13 but I could probably find all of this in the nearby woods. I live in the blue hills of kentucky. And actually I like this quick play by. Straight to the point.

[@johnhagi7073]

thank you

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're very welcome John!

[@nessaj4522]

Thank yoooou😂😂😂❤❤

[@annette731]

Please slow down

[@0oTHEJACKo0]

annette woodham Please don't. I love quick and compact information :-)

[@conradgallardo9046]

@@0oTHEJACKo0 Right? Perfect speed. My favorite videos are usually those that are information intensive & honor me by not wasting my time. For those who like slower videos i reccommend the control menu. Slow the video down to your hearts desire 75% 50% even 25% speed.

[@EddiedeSouza]

Great work! Very clear pictures and coverage of "Weeds" I'm posting a link in our FB group "Eat Weeds!" Thanks Trillium, want to see lots more like this so I'm subscribing too! E

[@thinkmackay8954]

What if there are some plants look alike the ones you have here but are not edible? Can you do a reminder comparison type of segment on that ?

[@Humble-Daniel]

Lol, "pinus strobus"... I remember when my environmental science teacher told me that in school and everyone in the class laughed.. Awesome video Josh, lots of info in this one too, thank you bro.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're welcome bro, glad you liked it! Yeah the scientific names are at times hilarious, and pinus strobus just sounds dirty, lol!

[@jasonfisher1324]

If we ever go on a food shortage in the supermarkets atleast now, we will know that we can still survive.

[@olivialim7541]

Very relevant now haha

[@sarahs7751]

How did you learn all of this?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I'm pretty self taught. I spent a lot of time reading books and spending hours upon hours in nature learning about plants. I actually have a video on my channel titled: How I Got Into Foraging That video will explain it a lot better than I could here in this comment. Hope that helps some.

[@zuppagraves2945]

Is cleavers and hairy vetch the same plant?

[@Viperdwarrior177]

Is there a way to send you plant pics And you tell me about them?

[@AzazelStrider]

“12 edible plants” Shows the word 13

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

This video is older and I'm away from my computer but I'm pretty sure it has 13 plants in it. The extra plant was a bonus plant. In my older list videos I included an extra one as a bonus for my viewers. So there is always one more than the title says. This has changed over the years I've ran this channel.

[@garyrosson4818]

Baker's dozen

[@painchaud2000]

yeah that's what I'm talking about lol

[@ZE308AC]

1:32 i thought i saw wild strawberries or regular strawberries.

[@Infinitybein]

what if your lawn was only treated with lime? are the wild edibles OK to consume?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Oh heck yeah, anything that is organic and used on your lawn will be fine to consume the edibles that grow in that area. Also remember that many commercial fertilizers for use on domestic crops are set to standards that are acceptable for consumption on produce. I hope that's easy to understand, the main point I was trying to make in the video was highly synthetic chemical sprays that are not okay for consumption by humans. From lime to clay to bat guano and deer crap, is all good to go for food after normal rinsing. As a matter of fact I frequently gather animal feces from the woods and rich humus from rotting stumps as well as mineral rich sands and things for fertilization of garden crops. I hope that helps a bit and thanks for asking!

[@Infinitybein]

thanks soo much. I have so much edibles. #abundance

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're welcome O!

[@BlessedBaubles]

Can you re-do slower. We need this info but at a speed we can learn from. Thanks,

[@Cingiturvin]

Imma eat my yard now 😂

[@yumenyzamudio2847]

Now i dont need to cut my yard

[@rayraymontoya78]

Does wild lettuce attract and latch onto ants?

[@XenChaotix]

You forgot pansies. Those are also edible, as well.

[@alexisfishinhuntinandfarmi2923]

I have eaten wood sorrel. in our town the kids call them pickle plants. funny

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

That's interesting I've never heard that name before! That's cool your kids eat it too, it's so good and healthy too. Thanks for commenting Alexis!

[@alexisfishinhuntinandfarmi2923]

I don't have kids lol. All the kids around here eat em

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Lol, my bad, horrible misinterpretation! That's even cooler though, where I live most kids think lettuce is gross, let alone a "stinking weed!" as they tend to call them. Oh well more for me!

[@alexisfishinhuntinandfarmi2923]

It's cool

[@alexisfishinhuntinandfarmi2923]

Yeah my town is a tad bit strange lol

[@cjw2661]

wow, you spoke VERY fast. a little slower next time would be great. and show the plants for more than a few seconds. also explaining how to use plants would be helpful.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

This video wasn't meant to talk about their uses it was to cover a good number of plants in a short time to show the variety that can be had in your yard. As for the speaking I apologize if it was to fast for you. You can always try to slow the video down using your settings options in the video player. Thanks for commenting Connie!

[@cjw2661]

I had no idea it was possible to slow things down. Thank you. I will check into it.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Absolutely! In the KZbin video player click the little gear icon on the lower right hand side of the player; select speed; then select the speed you want. Glad to be of some help Connie!

[@SuziQZ]

Wild lettuce does not contain opiates 🙄

[@donnawoodford6641]

It's a 15 minute lecture in 3 minutes.

[@lynncopley7812]

if you wouldnt show all the writing on the page you could see the plant, might need to fix that, cause you cant see anything but your words

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Did you have closed captioning on? because other wise there is very little text in this video.

[@annette731]

Can you speak a littel faster..lol

[@taniakaulitz6490]

Too fast.
