I have been told that Nettle Seeds are good to alleviating joint pain, so when out walking my dog, I usually pick a few seed tassels and chew on my journey. I am almost sure it does releve the ache but doesn't cure. I love foraging, there are so many plants we think are just weeds, but they are Nature's gift to us. Thank you for the video; I enjoyed it very much.

Wow, thanks. I found loads of Himalayan Balsam on a riverside walk a few days ago. Unfortunately, although I remembered you saying it was edible, I couldn't remember which part! Too far to return to the river (Cheadle Hulme), but if I see H. Balsam again, I'll recognise it immediately and will definitely pick pods, and poss try the flowers and leaves. Shame it's so invasive, very beautiful flowers.

Another great video. Never knew Himalayan Balsam was edible. There is a humongous amount of growing along the banks of the Hogsmill near Kingston where it runs into the Thames. This year I spotted a solitary one growing on the river bank in Canbury Gardens in Kingston. Unfortunately it was out of reach :( so I couldn't pull it up. Another reason why it's so invasive is in your last shot - bees prefer it over indigenous plants. Our native plants that need cross pollination to propagate are denied. Well you know the outcome.

I've heard it (himalayan balsam) can be dangerous to eat too much of it because of the high mineral levels. Also not recommended for pregnant women. Regarding the stinging nettles, I had heard they're safe and edible so I've eaten it quite a bit lately after watching atomic shrimp's videos. However I didn't know about the urinary tract crystals thing. I picked the leaves right off a load that had seeds and made soup with the leaves. Should I be worried? I've also heard that willowherb is good for fighting urinary tract problems... should I eat that as a pre-emptive measure? lol tia

Delicious on my baked fish last night and I use as a cordial well diluted as a refreshing drink. Sometimes use to make a chia pudding with raw cocoa powder and chia sweetened with stevia/xylitol. Picked up another load yesterday destined as berries for the freezer.

Thank you for going into this level of detail. You have inspired confidence as I have gone through the identifying features you describe and can be certain of the ID. It's amazing to learn what's in your area (so many Alexanders!) and to begin to recognise useful plants. Honestly your videos have been my no.1 resource since getting into foraging. So thanks again for helping me to explore foraging and stay safe.

You are so lucky that you have Alexanders. I’ve been looking for them since this spring- with no luck at all! Just yesterday I read a great blog by Mark Williams (Galloway wild foods) that says “Alexanders - Foraging friends in the South feel sorry for us Northerners as this delightful aromatic is a scarcity in Scotland. It has countless uses as a vegetable, but its myrrh-like aromatics also go well in sweet things and booze.” No wonder I can’t find any- I live in the highlands!

With umbellifers we need all the help we can get. That might be a good video.
