[@patricianunez4025]

I really love this video. It was so great that you added close up snap shots of each plant with their name.

[@CATRYNA49]

So excellent. Kathy. Thank you so much.

[@carolannesummerlin9462]

She is easily the best teacher's of these plants we understand her clearer than any so far a100%

[@Johnny241948]

Gotta love KATHY, she is like the JEWELWEED. She has a personality that sparkles and shines that makes you want to say awe. Same as the flower, Kathy's heart has great beauty in that it gives energy and joy, just like the seed pod waits to burst open with a surprise to spread it's seeds to live another day she waits for a new day to pop out and spread all of her knowledge so it to can live another day. Another word for jewel is gem and Kathy is one of the most precious.

[@russellbarndt6579]

Yes , I agree , miss Kathy is such lovely natured person ,she is so joyful...wow !

[@MrZombiefoetus]

Love this comment. Totally agree. Not to be an asshole, but I think the word you are looking for is "breadth". Most Americans can't even use a semicolon though, so you are doing great!

[@oowhmoo8966]

Spot on. 💛

[@sabrinad5889]

What a great video!!! Her personality is so fun! Need more ppl in the world with her enthusiasm! Thought I would just add if you get into stinging nettle find a fern with the reddish dots under the leaves, rub the dots on the area. 😊

[@mygodjesus1229]

Kathy Dice, your great teaching us in simplistic mode, very understanding every plant you talk about. ~ Subbed to watch more and smashed that like button! 👍

Love your channel!! Invaluable info!! Why the heck are they not teaching all this in schools!? Should be required to graduate!

[@WernerElmker]

Thank you very much for the comment !

Because #BigPharma wouldn't *allow* that!🥁🥁🥁

[@lauriemashek5419]

JamaicanSista ROBINSON that is what occurred to me.

[@lauriemashek5419]

It is the sort of thing parents taught their children back before we left it all to drug companies. Much simpler to buy a pill. It all depends on what the parents teach the child is important. We used to play outside more.

So much great info and in depth too, you really hit the points, this is so easy to watch. Thank you!

[@redfernfarm8606]

You are very kind and generous in your comments. Werner Elmker did a fantastic job creating the video. He can make anyone look and sound great. - Kathy

[@zoe9632]

She is so endearing

[@amouramarie]

I ran full-body through a whole field of stinging nettles at camp as a kid. It was an experience, for sure. haha

[@robertweiland7454]

Plantain leaves boiled in water and placed on Poison Ivey will clear up the rash. Also the water the leaves were boiled in will work. Plantain is also one of the most nutritious leafy greens you can ingest

[@chezmoi42]

Thanks for this well-made video, Werner! I do wild food walks in France, and admire Kathy's enthusiasm and knowledge.

[@redfernfarm8606]

I agree, Werner is extremely talented. He created that video with almost no assistance from me (such as talking to the camera). - Kathy

[@chezmoi42]

Hey, Kathy! Nice to meet you. I'd love to have you along on a weed walk. We have a lot of the same flora, and I really enjoy learning through American videos. Are you still leading outings?

[@redfernfarm8606]

A few. I'll be back in Fairfield, Iowa May 12, 2018 for another Wild Edible Walk.

[@MJkatzTheWriter]

The tour guide lady is adorable🤗

[@jnanashakti6036]

Kathy is just lovely.

[@CampingforCool41]

Wood sorrel is delicious. I remember trying it on a trip to Sweden when I was 7 years old, and several years later I noticed a similar looking plant at home and decided to try it. I’m lucky it wasn’t poisonous lol it was the same plant, but ours have much smaller leaves. Back then I just called it clover

[@flw9633]

Thanks for uploading this educational presentation.

[@bricktea3645]

Wow she has a youthful energy and mostly impressively a sweet voice too, hasn't aged one bit!

[@brianmaney1973]

I wish more of these grew in northern Wisconsin... Nettle is abundant here, though, thak you!!!! Fair amount of Sumac here as well...

[@deverene8]

I loved her outdoors class on the eatables, that was so interesting! I just wished the couple of know it all’s in the group would shut up and let Kathy teach the group! There’s always a couple in each crowd! That think they know more than the teacher grrrr!

[@keepruvthknight]

When I was a kid, I used to play in a particular meadow around my farmhouse in Wisconsin. There was a patch of stinging nettle that I had to go through to get to it. I went through it with shorts and t-shirt every day in the summer until the stinging stopped and I became immune to them. Then, when I was a teenager I tried to go through a patch of nettles, they stung me. I guess the immunity wore off after several years?

[@tallcedars2310]

Was wondering about that as this year they seem to really bother me compared to previous years. Good to know we start over every year!

[@lynnlegault9297]

Very informative thank you

[@saddleridge4364]

I graze on violets all spring, even my dog likes them. We have the dark purple and confederate violets here in PA . Poison sumac is worse than poison ivy, it leaves blisters with black on the top, hate that stuff, used to get it as a kid until I learned the hard way. Excellent presentation, thank you so much!

[@j.tamburello4053]

Thank you for your delightful walk through the woods. It would be helpful to give the Latin name of each plant, so we know what species you are looking at. Thanks again!

[@donnariggs1567]

super job love all your information may help cut down on some mowing keep up the videos I am now looKing to watch another blessings!

[@Anna-mv4ly]

Hi. I found this plant 25 years ago and it was I a feild so I took it because I thought I had found a new type of flower and I didn't want to see it get plowed under and I grew it and now I have alot of them now and I heard about this plant being great for the bees and I found that the butterflies and humming birds love it too.👼 I never knew you could eat it too , I don't know why I came across your video but something told me to stop and watch thank you I enjoyed it , I m from Nova Scotia Canada .😇

[@Jefferdaughter]

Milkweed is a wonderful and tasty plan. Those who are allergic to latex may want to stick to the boiling and change the water at least once.

[@saccage]

Kathy's voice is musical. If she did not tell stories at a Renaissance Festival I would be so disappointed.

Thank you for your very informative video. I thoroughly enjoy your enthusiasm and teaching about foraging - so exciting and natural way of keeping healthy without using chemicals. Thank you for sharing.

[@joybickerstaff194]

Hi ya Kathy! I just came across ur video and watched because I’m all about wild edibles, I want to learn about all wild foods actually, when one has experienced hunger, one wishes to never experience it again, therefore I learn all I can!!! U seem knowledgeable on whatever interested in, so I subscribed, also I love ur passion about the wild edibles! I love and enjoy foraging for what I do know, I also am working on having a wild edible yard, I was wondering if u had a few milkweed seeds left, if so, could I buy them from u? I enjoyed this video, now on to ur next one! Thank u

[@patschline2266]

Thank you.

[@crappo8459]

Great video thanks for the information

[@2baSelkie]

Love your enthusiasm :) Alas we have young nettles all year round. However the tea becomes addictive! My diet is 80% wild plants, nettles every day. I suppose I am raw vegan, but hate the word vegan. Ony harvest the top 2/3 layers of leaves. Strange, the older leaves are sweeter, but they contain cystoliths that may irritate the kidneys.

[@lieblee3063]

I ❤️ your channel. I'm soooo into wild edibles

[@brent3611]

Rose hips are one of my favorites..

[@duggsie6414]

We have an serious Himalayan balsam problem in the UK, which is getting worse. This invasive plant likes to grow along river banks, and is nice to look at, but it competes with the native plants, killing them, replacing them, and when it dies In the winter the months, there follows river back erosion. However, helping to destroy the plants is rewarding especially as the seeds are edible and taste similar to Walnuts!!

[@ListenWell]

Great information ⭕️❤️

[@DowntownSound1]

MRS. ELMKER you are GREAT !!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I SUBSCRIBED !!!!

[@angiejones3714]

I find rose hips to be sweeter and soft after freezing i used to dry them now i freeze them after cleaning

Very interesting couple plants shown always thought poisonous, but nice to know they aren't, i.e. milkweed, sumac etc.

[@jamaicansistarobinson7587]

Wow! So, that's #StingingNettles! I've encountered them in the back of my yard and it really #Stings!

[@Jefferdaughter]

Nettle leaves can also be wilted, in a low oven, or by a campfire to get rid of the sting. Behind the thistle, aren't those Jerusalem artichokes? The roots of those are among my favorite foods.

[@redfernfarm8606]

I have trouble with Jerusalem artichokes. When I dig them in the fall, they look so good. Yet when I cook them up, they create a great deal of "wind" in my digestive tract. If I let them mellow through the winter and convert the inulin to digestible starches, they do not look appetizing to eat. - Kathy

[@dianadavis2020]

@@redfernfarm8606 So that yellow flower is Jerulsalem artichoke? I have that growing all over my yard

We Grow a lot of RHUBARB in my region, They say, Only Pick Rhubarb Stalks in a Month without a letter 'R' in the name ! = May, June, July, August. & Never to eat the Leaves. Rhubarb is said to contain Oxalic acid. Rhubarb has a very distinctive flavour, Very sharp & Bitter, We use it cooked / stewed in Pies & Crumbles. Similar to Apple Pie. Unsweetened the SHARPNESS is Almost like eating Lemons. But with a Superb & Individual Flavour. VERY nice eaten in Sensible Portions , Not too much & not too often. They say, Stay near a toilet if you eat 2 much !
