Hi there - thanks for these amazing videos - I have been picking nettles for years now in parks around inner London and now I live next to a really important common in London. Was thinking to pick cow parsley because it would be really useful to pick that instead of buying parsley from the shops, but was concerned about mistaking it with Hemlock and after looking at lots of videos and comparing it with the plants I see on my common, I am really shocked. Firstly, as a beginner at foraging, I realise there is a lot of plants where the leaves and flowers are very similar to both but the stalks suggest that it could well a different species altogether. But there are lots of big plants so close to where I live that are clearly Hemlock (because of the crimson spots on the stalks) and others that are Cow Parsley (because of the celery-type stalks), but I will not take the risk! .I will be giving this one a miss, but have had a good success with: (nettles, obviously), .Goose grass makes great tea but is disguising fried or raw in large quantities .White Dead nettle, fried, boiled as tea, anything - is quite tasteless but can bulk up a meal full of nutrients .Yarrow, I really like the taste - was great with an omlette .Hogweed - I am scared of getting involved with it because of the risk to your skin if you get the giant hogweed and I had thought that there couldn't be any Giant Hogweed in central London, but then I have now seen lots of Hemlock all over this great common, so I think that I will give hogweed a miss until I learn more about it. The hogweed I have cooked very interesting and might take a bit of cooking skills to get the most out of it but seems like definitely worth the effort .Garlic mustard - my next study - there is a lot of it so I should pick some of it soon?
