LOL I had declared war on the chickweed. It is everywhere around my house, growing so thick it would smother some of my flowers. I have been pulling it up from the roots. It still comes back. So...if I can't beat it, from now on, I'm gonna eat it!!

Our planet is super resilient. Cataclysmic events have changed it many many times, but humans, no matter how horrible, cannot harm this planet. For instance, did you know that the earth has started degrading plastic and styrofoam? They said it couldn't happen, yet it did. Did you hear that they proved our moon is in our atmosphere? Things aren't as they seem. I agree with your comment, I'm just rambling. Night👋😁

I live in a wooded and rural area in the Pacific Northwest. There is so much natural foragable food growing around me. I have at least 20 edible greens, conifer needles, and berries within fifty feet of my front door. Before you put it in your mouth, however, make sure you know what it is or don't eat it at all.

Good information. I tried chickweed today. It tastes like spinach.

When foraging garlic and onions, make sure it smells like garlic/onion before consuming. There are VERY few look-alikes, and they don't smell like garlic.

[@nathanhale7444]

That's what I was trying to think of. I knew there was a lookalike but couldn't remember how to tell. The difference. I think the fakes also tase terrible and are extremely toxic.

[@marshahall3059]

I'm familiar with most of these being a gardener, so look forward to trying them. I recently discovered curly dock or yellow dock is delicious! It tastes similar to spinach but "brighter"! I've eaten it several times a week tossed in a skillet in a little olive oil until it looks like spinach. Add a bit of salt and pepper. YUM! I eat it as a side with an egg especially. This weed has always been hard to kill but I'm friends with it now! It has oxalic acid too so I don't eat massive amounts or daily.

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

I love Curly Dock as well! Alot of people confuse it with a ruffled looking Plantain. It does have a very "bright" flavor compared to spinach, I agree with that. I hope to make a video on Curly / Yellow Dock soon! There are soo many wild edibles on this planet, it is amazing. Thank you for the comment Marshahall! 🙏

Wood Sorrel is one of my favs for its lemony, bright, acidic flavor. Really goes well in a salad to give some of the more bland wild greens some flavor. Its everywhere outside right now! Just don't eat too much of it at one time because it contains high amounts of oxalic acid which can mess with your kidneys. A good way to counter Oxalic acid is to have Apple Cider Vinegar or Lemon Water in your diet. Thank you for the kind words and comment friend. Have a great day! 🌿

I work at a lawncare business and see these plants everywhere, it's a shame that they get all the nasty pesticides sprayed in their yard otherwise I'd be foraging it all. xD

[@carolineboer5218]

By chance do you know how long roundup weed killer stays active in soil? I want to harvest some of the plants in our yard but my dumbass dad sprayed a lot of the lawn with roundup last season. Google says anywhere from 3 to 249 days but that’s a BIG time gap so I’m unsure if I should risk it this spring

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

Yes it is a shame. All those pesticides seep into the aquifers and water tables and pollute the heck outta our planet. You should look into how absolutely evil Monsanto the company that makes "round up" is! They have poisoned people for years and known about it all along! ☠☠

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

@@carolineboer5218 This is what I found on the matter: ☠To help clear up Roundup or glyphosate residues in the soil, you can take the following steps: Allow time: Glyphosate naturally breaks down over time due to microbial activity and environmental factors. Depending on the specific conditions, it may take several weeks to months for the residue levels to decrease significantly. Water the area: Watering the soil can help facilitate the natural degradation process. Adequate moisture encourages microbial activity, which aids in breaking down glyphosate. However, avoid excessive watering that may cause runoff or leaching into surrounding areas. Enhance soil microbial activity: Adding compost or organic matter to the soil can improve microbial activity, which can help break down glyphosate residues faster. This can be done by incorporating compost into the soil or applying compost as a top dressing. Plant cover crops: Planting cover crops, such as legumes or grasses, can help in several ways. They can absorb excess nutrients, prevent erosion, improve soil structure, and enhance microbial activity, potentially aiding in the degradation of glyphosate residues. Crop rotation: If feasible, consider rotating your crops. Different plant species have varying abilities to break down chemicals in the soil, and rotating crops can help diversify the microbial community and promote the breakdown of glyphosate residues. Test the soil: If you have concerns about glyphosate residues in the soil, you can consider testing the soil for residue levels. Soil testing laboratories can provide analysis for glyphosate or total herbicide residues in the soil, allowing you to assess the situation more accurately. Hope that helps! 🌿

Mine too! Its soo nice to come out of boring depressing winter to a flush of bright green and freshly edible landscape. Spring is definitely my favorite season! 🏵

[@ramhornjoe]

I have most if not all of these on my property right now💖. I absolutely love being able to walk the land and find tasty additions to meals. Great video

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

Thats awesome you have them all around your property! I love when im walking around outside, and I point to a plant they thought was just a lowly weed, and say "did you know thats edible and medicinal"! They are always shocked lol. Thanks for the wonderful comment RamHornJoe! 😁

[@shannahonea714]

Thanks for thin info very interesting to know all this about these plants😀🌾🌱

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

You're welcome Shanna! Soo glad this info was useful to you! 😁

[@doublezmtnman]

Great video nice clear resolution and very informative. I have a several books on edible and medicinal wild plants that are very helpful and brought back memories of picking wild greens with my grandmother.

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

Very glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative. You can ever have enough wild edibles and medicinal books! Memories with our grandparents are treasures never to be forgotten!

[@terryrogers-kulick9499]

Very discriptive and informative. As a gatherer, I enjoyed it very much.

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

Thank you Terry! Happy you found it informative. Always happy to help a fellow gatherer! 🌻

[@DocBravo]

Outstanding video! The identification is the toughest part! Can’t wait to look fir these in my neck of woods

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

Thank you DocBravo! Yes identification can be tricky, but once you make that connection in your mind of the morphology of the plant and its characteristics.. then suddenly you see it everywhere! 🌻

[@debbietampasheher3682]

Very informative. Ty for the many pictures of each at different angles

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

You're welcome Debbie. I tried to make a video that I would like to see as well. I'm a very visual learner too. Glad It helped you! 💚

Garlic mustard root sounds amazing

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

Yes it does! I bet that would have a delicious pungent mustardy flavor! Gonna have to try that. 🤤

You are welcome! Soo glad you enjoyed the video. 🌻

[@porkcheeks]

That is a solid list. Great video. We’re almost to spring edibles way up north but still a few more weeks to go.

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

Thank you PorkCheeks! Hope you can get some solid foraging in this year up north when the time comes. What are your favorite plants to forage in our region? and how long is the growing season up there?🌿

[@porkcheeks]

@@WalkInTheWildMedia we have an odd oyster or two, morels and pheasants back are out. Ramps have largely passed. The spring ephemeral flowers are mostly passed too tho early spring is magical. We pick a lot of mushrooms, berries, and invasive plants like garlic mustard, nettle, etc. Summer and fall bring their own bounty in the garden and the wild. Happy hunting!

[@troubadouroutdoors2126]

What a great video! So informative and so glad you focused on all those things that I have found in my yard. It was great to learn a little bit more about each one of them! I can’t wait to basically go make myself a salad with about half of those things LOL :-) Subscribing.

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

Thank you for the kind words and soo grateful you were able to identify these in your yard! Salads for days!!! 😋🥗🥗

[@chatsandlivetrades504]

Loved your video, it was incredibly informative and made identification of the plants sooooooooooooooooo easy. I have eaten a few wild eatables watching this video. I paused the video went to the yard, picked washed and ate. Thank you

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

Thats soo great to hear! Im glad this video was helpful to your identification of these plants in your yard! Now you know how much free organic food you really have outside! 😁

[@chatsandlivetrades504]

@@WalkInTheWildMedia My neighbors have seen me out many days with scissors cutting what they think are weeds in my yard. Just chewed up some plantain and applied it to a wound 😁😁😁

I live in the Pacific Northwest and have seen all of these in the greater Seattle area. What made me sad is to learn I've been pulling bittercress as a weed in my garden and composted it every time. *Thank you for all the great images.*

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

Oh noo! Glad you realized what you were pulling and now you know it is edible! Youre welcome, and thank you for the comment Tami! 😋

I have 9/10 in my yard (need to find some Bittercress). You have given me a new-found appreciation for Creeping Charlie. Thanks for the clarification on Wood Sorrel (because I thought it was totally poisonous). This was such an interesting and informative video. Thanks much.

[@shelleypilcher3812]

I'd like to see a video on the way to DRY all these and keep them and later use them better.

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

Thats a great idea Shelley! I will make a video of that one day. I have an electric dehydrator and a hanging air dryer to dry my herbs in. I would also like to make more preservation videos, such as ones on water canning and pressure canning! 🥫

[@carolgladney9890]

Most can be air dried. I lay mine on a paper towel on a cooling rack for cookies. Leave several days. Be sure they are really good and dry, or they will mold. Once I'm certain they are completely dry, I store in Mason jars

[@feliciamoreira8402]

I am a diabetic and believe in natural medicine. I love nature on a whole. Knowing their uses are great.

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

Eating this way works wonders on diabetes. Im glad you are taking the natural path, and not totally relying on Big Pharma to "cure" you with their "treatments". I have been experimenting with Fasting to induce Autophagy, which is great to help balance insulin sensitivity and heal a body that has trouble with processing glucose. Have you tried fasting to help with your Diabetes? 🍽

[@jeanque04]

I have most of the weeds in my garden .i always take it out, thank for the info. Greetings from belgium

[@WalkInTheWildMedia]

That's soo amazing you have most of these same edible plants halfway across the world! Cheers from Oklahoma! 💚
