The video i've been waiting for. 10/10 video thanks for the upload mate !!

[@DiarmuidNZ]

Glad you liked the video. Be sure to do your own researches and due diligence before eating or using any new wild plants or herbs or fungi: happy foraging.

[@aliceleishman5596]

Another great foraging video. I assume those round dirt mounds are naturally made, but I’ve not seen anything formed like that! Very interesting.

[@DiarmuidNZ]

Thanks Alice. No, those mounds of river silt and sand have been moved by machinery. Wild plants just love 'disturbed' ground: not as in ground with mental issues, but ground that has been bull-dozed, or dug-up, or otherwise cleared of cover (e.g. by floods), so that their seeds can take advantage of all the new space and fresh nutrients.

I'm hooked on your channel. There is so much evening primrose where I live, as well as in my garden. I didn't know you could eat the roots, and heaps of mallow around too:)

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpzMo2mYYp2fr6c this guy has many amazing herbal vids too, hope you don't mind me posting, he's very informative, as are you :) Thanks for sharing

[@DiarmuidNZ]

Evening Primrose: the whole wonderful plant is very edible. I use the big floppy yellow flowers to decorate salads, and the spicy/raddishy root boiled, and the younger leaves on salads and the older ones boiled or added to soups. When I 'weed the garden' I go out and find wonderful wild weeds and bring them home and plant them, for a handy, organic, free food source.

Wow..looks like a parsnip Mullens good for earache and lung problems

[@DiarmuidNZ]

I now use the Mullein herb (Verbascum) leaves in my herbal teapot and drink it most days. The flowers infused in olive oil in sunlight, on the windowsill, also makes a balm for cold-sores.

[@meatavoreNana]

@DiarmuidNZ good for earache too, or so I'm told

[@DiarmuidNZ]

@@meatavoreNana Thanks Nana: I certainly read/heard/watched about it's airways benefits and am using it daily: if it also pro-actively avoids earaches that's wonderful - I'm all for proactively avoiding all manner of diseases, using only Mother Nature's remedies.

@@DiarmuidNZ and good toilet paper ..lol
