[@nhatrang1000]

Finally someone who explains how to identify plants in details, cheers, I hope to learn more from you.

[@robertgilmour8110]

Man you're great. The closeup photography showed me what to look for in identifying the plant. Thank-you so much.

[@kethsharakhlok1976]

This is an excellent educational introduction to warm seasonal wild plants that many of us could have missed them while we focus on our walking path. Thank you, 🙂 !

[@zahrareshadi]

Thanks for sharing your precious knowledge

[@Humble-Daniel]

Nice full video guide! I have officially finished watching all of your video from start to finish including ads and left a comment on every video. It was an amazing experience and I learned alot! Can't wait for more videos to come out! Definitely my favorite channel on KZbin. Thanks so much for everything Josh. I really appreciate it bro. You've taught and inspired me alot.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Dude, your so awesome for doing that! Seriously I can't thank you enough for going through all that! It's also nice to hear you learned a lot from them! I'm trying to make my way through all your comments and the others I get, but I have read them all, so apologies for not getting to them all.

[@Humble-Daniel]

It was really my pleasure bro.

[@pavlin8584]

Great Close-Ups, Very Informative, Many Thanks.

[@jackeekp]

I know this video has been around for a year, but I am just now finding them, Thank You for putting the info out, I have been learning for sometime, in sharing, I am becoming more confident in what I do, Thank You Again

[@thomasfrierson6284]

This is the best video I have seen. Your visuals are awesome....thank you

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're welcome Thomas, I'm glad you like it! Thanks for commenting!

[@melodyjogibson6791]

What a timely video. I was wondering what rag weed looks like and golden rod. Thanks for the video

[@wolfsyoung5648]

thank you so much for the awesomely informative videos. i share them and hope my family and friends will watch them as well. i would like to know if you have written your knowledge in a book that i can carry with me. i have several different varieties of plant books but they do not go into the extent of explanation you have given in your videos. would love to have a book to carry with me while walking through my back woods. there is so much i have discovered right in my back yard that i can survive on all year. thank you again. keep up the great works.

[@bellesparks4374]

Thank you! I really enjoyed this video:)! You did such a great job showing how to identify:)!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Thank you Belle, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting!

[@girlywhirly4971]

Very informative video, tyvm. I didn't know about the scarlet pimpernel plant! I looked it up and it's supposed to have a square stem. Love to learn about new plants.

[@spottedgeckgo]

Thanks for repeating the names, it helps for memory. I knew most of these, but still, i have bad habits of remembering which names go with which herb sometimes

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're welcome Martin and I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for commenting!

[@angiejones3714]

I rewatch them over and over repetition works. I learned in my medical anatomy and physiology classes that you have to try new foods 16 times to determine whether or not you like it, and it takes multiple repetitions to cement the knowledge in your brain ‐ any knowledge I forgot how many repetitions for this gotta love irony. I'm fairly certain of the amount for food I used it against my husband many many times.

[@stacybrown4257]

I would love to use your videos in a "Foraging for Life" class i am currently planning...with your permission. Excellent for teaching a crucial topic our current educational system deems invaluable.

[@asurasounds]

you were woke 2 years ago and a teacher stay positive

[@seanocarroll6921]

Cleavers work best extracted in cold water not boiled or heated water.....a great cooling summer drink :)

[@OX_PubgMobile]

some other characteristics of Scarlett pimpernel are a square stem with no string in the center like chickweed has, also scarlett red flowers . I've also noticed Pimpernel's a darker green than chickweed.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Awesome to know thanks for the tip Auzzy!

[@stacybrown4257]

Thanks...there is no such thing as "too much info" when it comes to foraging. Any other details you know...I would appreciate as I am teaching Grandkids this life saving skill.

[@angiejones3714]

@@stacybrown4257 way to go I teach everyone even strangers who want to know what I'm doing.

[@flirtingwithsewing5164]

Very good explanations

[@selfhealherbs13ms]

Can you do a video on different Compfrey and their medicinal.

[@angiejones3714]

Yes comfrey would be good too. I'd like to add it to the poultice I make out of mulien and plaintain. What can I say those 2 plants draw off inflammation and are soothing both inside as a tincture and outside. Adding comfrey would not only add to it as a poultice but a salve of the three are first 3 ingredients of my store bought drawing salve.

[@elru374]

Whats an atlaell dart?

[@emangthuso4383]

Please do another one for other wild edibles. I learnt a lot from the video.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Well then you are in the right place my friend! I have several of these guide videos on my channel. You can find all my wild edibles videos on a playlist titled: Wild Edibles that can be found on my channel.

[@robertsimoneau6358]

What's that plant beside your hand when you showing the leaves of the broad leave plantain. It has white on the small leaves

[@grantkeller8024]

Great job on the video... Thanks for sharing.

[@MyTube4Utoo]

An excellent video! Thank you.

[@andrewbarlow8937]

Excellent Video Sir. Very Informative and Interesting. Great job ! Thank you for your video. We need more video just like yours. 👍

[@divided_and_conquered1854]

Thank you for these wonderful videos that you put out! Just a note- I had a bit of trouble looking up “gallium aparine.” It turns out that gallium with two L’s is the metal; the _element_ gallium. Galium with one L is the plant genus. Again, thanks a bunch for the content. Cheers!

[@TanyaBucci]

Thanks for the video! It is true that all plants in the Mint family have square stems, but not all plants with square stems are in the Mint family.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're welcome Tanya glad you enjoyed it!

[@DevBhumi88887]

Hi

[@kleineroteHex]

I make tea with cleavers, never ate them, I think they are rough 😊 I let patches of chickweed grow around my garden, makes great pesto! plantain is the best! have rubbed it on my arm after pulling poison ivy, after I washed with soap and water. I got a few red spots but itching or real blistering. great video!!!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

They are rough, but in the early spring they bristles soften up and you don't even notice after boiling. I've never made tea with them before, I should though. Good to hear about chickweed pesto and glad the plantain helped you with poison ivy rash, that stuff can really suck! Thanks for commenting!

[@stacybrown4257]

I cant believe im the first to 👍you. Im highly allergic to poison ivy. Thanks!

[@stacybrown4257]

Thank you so much. Poison ive allergies from hell...didnt know til your post. Thank you so much.

[@redredwine1277]

Thanks 4 info 👍🏽

[@WordupknowJesus7]

Thank you very clear identity, close ups awesome !

[@judyduncheon904]

You. Very well done.👍

[@controlfoodcontrolthepeopl5627]

Josh would you please identify wiid comfrey

[@jeanwebber4046]

Thank for shareing

[@patmickler1352]

When you are talking about the Joe Pie weed there is one shot that has a wild cucumber leaf or, or as dad called them wild watermelons. That is also a wild edible. The fruit is about the size of a walnut and taste like a cucumber to me.

[@ritasenergyherbs3650]

Love ths plant - my intro to herbal medicine.

[@aliciaschweitzer1554]

Very educational and thorough! Thank you

[@whysprs]

I shared this one on my foraging group on mewe tonight

[@sylviahilxebrant7141]

Wanted to try some 'weeds' from my yard but identification was too iffy for me. You were very good at showing/pointing out what to look for. Thank you!!

[@judithmirembe876]

In Africa we identify by giving to the goat if it eats it's ok .if it doesn't then we don't consume the problem is dosage or identifying what it treats,but most of the plants treat cough ,stomackahes and fever. Othe r diseases or by the ways brought by mordan way of living according to my own finding .no body trained the first Dr.

[@feliciau3368]

I see the plantain all the time!

[@ChristopherJones16]

Those Mayapples look similar to Ginseng.. are they in the same family? Do they grow near each other by any chance?

[@tinaharvey356]

Can plantan be dug up and moved to your home yard

[@ardeliaosorio6952]

Aquí en Mississippi ay esa planta. Pero no entiendo que dise

[@marthasandoval6760]

Cual de todas? Esta diciendo las características para reconocerlas, para que sirven y como comerlas

[@organicintelligence3137]

Tysm! Absolutely fabulous🤩♾💚

[@ZE308AC]

Is joe pie weed save to use?

[@User-47.00]

What spooked you at 34:15 ??

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

A spider if I remember correctly! Lol, thanks for reminding me of that Nathaniel!

[@User-47.00]

Trillium: Wild Edibles It sounded like there was a noise or something lol

[@agent8082]

I have some growing in my yard but the flowers are yellow. It that chickweed?

[@selfhealherbs13ms]

I have not seen anything about COMFREY BLOOM OR BLOSSOMS, I LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH THEM IF ANY.

[@cynthiacetrangelo2296]

Is there a chickweed plant which has petials and then the leaf?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I don't think I quite understand what you mean. Could you explain further?

[@cynthiacetrangelo2296]

I have my answer thank you thank you very much for all you do

[@cherylhale5755]

I have read that plantain leaves can be used as a styptic powder to stop bleeding

[@OBATALAMI80]

thank you for the information, friend, it turns out that there are many wild plants which turn out to be herbal plants which have many health benefits, right?❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tarnishedknight730]

I stopped right after the cleavers. I had to turn the volume way up 8n order to understand you. Then, without warning, the music comes on (LOUD). If you could get the talking as loud as the music this would be great. And for those of you who are itching to say something about getting new hearing aids, or some other smart mouthed comment... I DO have new hearing aids.

[@Jessica-224]

I’m definitely allergic to ragweed with pollen then. I’ll have to do a test patch on my skin if I find some.

[@angiejones3714]

See what I meant Josh? Very though on your identification characteristics. I'm hoping you have elechampagn (I'm a horrible speller) this is a medicinal herb that's roots are good for deep lung congestion. As an asthmatic that lives in an area that has a paper mill, I need this plant I make a tincture that's half mulien and half plantain that works well but that's best for a bronchitis situation it doesn't dig in to the deep stuff.

Dude you sound like Dale from King of the Hill.🤣

[@abneracuna6692]

Hope we can pound this kind of plant someday if there is in the Philippine

[@stacybrown4257]

Please folks...write this stuff down. 🙏 I found it useful to pause after every plant to document knew knowledge. But...im old n half blind. I also move around between each a bit to avoid confusion. Lots of info!

[@jamesleftwich1595]

cleaver seeds are almost impossible to remove from socks if they get all over lol

[@nealboswell8786]

The "Cleaver" has a "Beaver" Tail.

[@angiejones3714]

Personally I prefer the young tender leaves of narrow leaf plantain they taste a bit like mushrooms

[@ameliarumagit8638]

Please can you share some seed for me I want to plant some in my garden bed (MOUSE CHICKWEEDS)

[@billierpaxton9260]

Clevers, call goose grass..

[@amomisninos]

Cleavers cleave (stick,cling) to you.

[@michelemcneill3652]

I love my cleavers, I put them in my salads

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Interesting. How do you deal with those annoying hairs? any certain preparation for it?

[@DevBhumi88887]

Hi sir you use facebook.. I'm from India

[@maribelromero8138]

Bristles protect a plant from pest infestation😊

[@juliannececil4610]

those bristles take away a stinger from a bee..

[@leynaabbey]

Cut the clusters! I hate rag weed. VERY ALLERGIC

[@cookiemonster-pq2vs]

Got to learn this Bec one day is going to get worse one day

[@annieonike759]

What we call plantain in Africa is similar to banana.

[@kevindifranco3494]

Let me save everyone your long-winded approach to Cleavers- just throw it at your friend and see if it sticks.

[@ZE308AC]

Buy some seed at strictly medicinal seeds company

He’s awesome. #DrOseghaleSundayHerbalHome We need a world full of kind genuine people like him.

[@benyaminyisrael4634]

"obnoxious"?

[@katherineelloitt6101]

Dude that's horse weeds not rag weed

[@eynkeehoohoohaechad4997]

You go on and on about the Mayapple, and only mention in the last few seconds that its poisonous. I hope I can unlearn everything that went before you bothered to mention that its poisonous. Why even show a poisonous plant in a video about edible plants? Take down the video. Sheesh.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Well had you paid attention, you would have realized the nuance behind using it. The plant is poisonous, but it's fruit is completely edible and a very popular wild edible at that. So this video is fine and you're overreacting by wanting to unlearn something just because part of what you learned doesn't fit your preformed expectations. If it being poisonous is a concern because you don't trust yourself to do it properly then it's better to stick to safe plants like dandelion and garlic mustard.

[@eynkeehoohoohaechad4997]

Trillium: Wild Edibles I did pay attention and did hear about the fruit. How about this instead: "Here is the (such and such), it is a poisonous plant, all parts are poisonous except for the berry..." then go into identification and everything else AFTER that. I would have just skipped to the next plant in the video instead of learning all about a poisonous plant. I have enjoyed a number of your other videos, but this one needs to be edited.

[@suzanneparrish1849]

I'm sure this is a terrific video; AND... I hate being called a guy. Women are half the human race. You could say "Hey everybody!" or "y'all", or "Hello, all", or "Howdy, girls and boys", or just start right in with "Hello; today we're going to look at...", but it's very offputting to hear you immediately say "Hey guys", no matter how many people think it's just "a form of speech". You would never say "I met this guy and she...", right? If you can't use it in the singular, why would you use it in the plural?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

But it is a form of speech, meant as a generalized greeting and when used as such it isn't gender based. If my greeting offends you maybe you should think about why it offends you and solve that internal issue instead of dismissing an entire 40 minute long educational video based upon the way you were greeted.

[@Betty-qd8st]

Just a white man? Wow thats condescending

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Um, where did I say anything remotely close to that in this video?

[@atrem227]

What a waste of time!!!
