Thanks for this. Still appreciate the class I took a few years back and still learning from your great information. Blue Porterweed has always been a favorite.

Planted one of these a few years ago. I never knew it was edible ( the blooms do taste like portobello mushroom!)

Good morning Eattheweeds, Thank you for the video. Do you recommend any good tropical wild edible book?

It's always interesting to watch your videos and listen to you explain what you've learned about various botanical things. The emissions from the kitchen sink eluded my understanding 🤷‍♂️ May I suggest adding a link in the description of your videos, to your forum?

Like many plants it was used to treat nearly every human ailment. I was being facetious.

@@EatTheWeeds Haha. I hear mbanje can cure everything too!

[@bluemoon8268]

… can you please comment on how to propagate from existing plants ? … I have the tall variety growing in pots and would like to use cuttings or seeds to naturalize in a corner of my property … THANK YOU

[@bluegreyfogg]

Did you ever get to do this? I was thinking, try everything, from rioting cuttings in water to actually bringing some home with the roots.

[@bluemoon8268]

@@bluegreyfogg … I saved some seeds which I plan to sow … 🤞🏻… hopefully they will germinate !
