[@ArtichokeHunter]

I definitely want the burdock cordage vid!

You got it! The hand line that I showed in one of my videos when I was talking about blackthorn gorge hooks was made from burdock.

I love to see how much you love the landscapes around you. It is so refreshing! Great video!

[@Fieldstudy_]

Thanks! Have you guys been hit by a heatwave yet or was that just southern Spain?

[@littlebluehouseinthewoods7856]

@@Fieldstudy_ it's just the south. We're cooler and it's raining at the moment, yay!

[@barbranaughton7902]

You’re beaming😊 lovely to see, love your videos, appreciate them greatly, thank you

[@dd7521]

You look as though you've caught the sun 😎 Thanks for another really well explained video.

[@Fieldstudy_]

I did! My freckles have come now apparently haha hope you’re well and thanks for watching

[@samihassel5681]

You have very nice videos, very informative and professionaly done. So happy to find your channel. Keep it up. I hope many more people find these videos and propably will. 😊

[@Fieldstudy_]

Thankyou Sami! Comments like this make the effort worthwhile 😀

Love it, I only just found your channel and your enthusiasm and happiness are infectious. I was taught by a neighbour, as a child in the Highlands of Scotland long ago, about edible and medicinal plants. I love watching you because I see you with some plants that I know about but havent encountered as some don't do well as far north as I was. I was also watching someone make rope out of grass so I will look up your burdock cordage if its here.

[@Fieldstudy_]

Ah Thankyou, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. I will most definitely do a burdock cordage video later in the season but if you’re hungry for more knowledge I’d check out Sally Pointer on KZbin and also ForagedFibres. There is a whole community of us over at a Facebook page called ‘Nettles for Textiles’ as well 😀 Hope you’re having a good week

It was a yellowjacket, wasp.

Thanks! This one was a bit off the cuff if I’m honest but I’m glad you got something useful out of it

Your bee/wasp is a bee. A cleptoparasitic sp from the Nomada genus. Probably a female Nomada goodeniana. Two yellow spots on thorax. Many Unbroken yellow lines on abdomen. Common inland and coastal in a variety of habitats. Lays eggs in ground burrowing bees nests where her offspring will eat the supplies of pollen and nectar. There you go! Thank you for asking.

[@Fieldstudy_]

Oh my word, Thankyou so much Sue! This is precisely the level of detail I need in my life 😍 Definitely going to do some intense research when I get home. Do you know of any good bee identification books? I hope you’re having a good week and thanks again for watching 🙏

Lovely video! Thanks and God bless you and yours, as always! I smelled pineapple weed for the first time today & was very pleasantly surprised, although it has much tougher stems than I expected 😅

[@Fieldstudy_]

Oh really, I haven’t noticed it popping up in any of my spots yet! Absolutely love pineapple weed

[@anylogwotem373]

@@Fieldstudy_ I've only just spotted the buds popping up, smells so much sweeter & stronger than I expected :')

I thought yarrow was in the apiaceae family to until I heard someone say it was in the asteraceae family, so I double checked it and according to wikipedia it is so maybe they changed it.
