Garlic Mustard also has a lot of seeds. The seeds can be put in a grinder and made into a mustard. The root is supposedly a horseradish like substitute.
That would be because horseradish is also in the Brassicaceae family. You can grow horseradish in your garden quite easily from store bought roots, though be warned, once it gets established you will never get rid of it.
Never realized that we have a natural medicine cabinet in our own backyard! My father-in-law knew what mushrooms to hunt for. You are bringing back knowlegde that our ancestors knew about. Great informative videos!
Threw a bunch of stuff into a pressure cooker to make some soup and while it was warming up I watched this video, stopped the pressure cooker, went outside and grabbed a bunch of garlic mustard and wild onion and tossed it in. Thanks, man.
@@thepsychocybe7078 goodness, I forgot about this post, so glad you reminded me! Been awhile, but I'm glad you discovered some natural (and free) greens to eat!
As a recent and very thankful subscriber, all I can say is WOW! I feel like I just struck a gold mine of knowledge from your videos. I will be promoting you in the coming days, weeks, months. Your message of health through plants is so important that everyone should hear your tutorials. Great work!
I used some in a lasagna the other day. It's so packed with flavour! Part of me is glad it's invasive because I can collect as much as my heart desires.
I find it hilarious that even organic gardeners are afraid to eat wild edibles. They look at me like I'm crazy because I eat them and feed them to my horses and ducks.
Haha awesome, you soundike me! It is awesome being self sufficient, and when you go and "randomly" pick up a wild plant an eat it, the look is priceless! They think you've lost your mind, but you're just much smarter than they are!
Thanks! I have a ton of it on my property outside of San Diego and was telling my buddy the other day that I thought it was called mustard and I'm sure it's edible, but I forget why I know that and I need to look it up before I let him harvest any to eat. The bam! The perfect video pops up... thanks again. Great video. Keep up the good work!
In the Midlands here in the UK, we know as Jack-By-The-Hedge and use it as a cucumber flavoured salad. Last Summer I used it in an egg mayo mix instead of water cress and it was great. I'd go fishing with cheese & onion butties and add my salad freshly picked at the river.
It's that time of year in New England: fresh greens! and among them the hearty garlic mustard. I use them in various ways, dried leaves crushed into soups, seeds roasted and crushed as a flavouring, and flowers eaten fresh off the plant. I eat the leaves in salad too. We English ladies need our vitamin c. Thank you Adam, you are amazing!
AMAZING HOW YOU ARE ABLE TO REMEMBER ALL OF THAT INFORMATION; WHO HELPED YOU WITH THE CORRECT PRONUNCIATION OF THE LATIN NAMES; IT WAS AND WILL BE SUCH A PLEASURE TO LEARN THE FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE THAT FLOWS FROM YOU I WANT TO KNOW IT ALL!!! AND BE ABLE TO SHOW AND TEACH MY GROWN CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN THE WONDERS GOD HAS PROVIDED FOR US. THANK YOU YOUNG MAN FOR SHARING!!!!!! I KNOW SOME OF THIS CAN CAN BE FOUND IN BOOKS, BUT THE ENUNCIATION OF THE CORRECT PRONUNCIATION CAN NOT BE LEARNED EXCEPT "BY THE HEARING OF THE WORD" A SENTENCE I READ IN A BOOK ONE TIME; I CANT TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!
I can snack on my weeds while weeding ? ....stand by..... Picked a leaf off one thats yet to be plucked..... munch, munch, munch..... Mild flavor.... its a definite combination of mustard and garlic flavor.... need another.... Drizzle some honey mustard vinegrette on them....dandy fine salad mixings. Accidental learning ... love it!
It's absolutely delicious! Many people find this bitter but I don't really think so in comparison to dandelion leaves. I treat it like spinach. Delicious raw or sauteed. My shoulder has stopped acting up since I started eating wild plants. Thank you!
You know - I was out walking my property today, checking my garden spaces for what’s growing and how it’s doing, and found this weird plant in one area, just having a good time, taking over the joint. I had a thought it was garlic mustard and said to myself, I bet the Learn your Land guy has an interesting and informative video about it, so here I am!
Love your stuff. I do appreciate it when you identify native versus non-native plants, as you did in this video mentioning it’s a non-native. It seems to also be invasive. Keep up the good work.
i found out about this plant this morning as kept passing it on my way to do some forraging - i took a sample and found out what it was - so i collected some and am going to herb it..........amazing!!...thankyou - new sub
I found this garlic mustard whilst tidying my garden and did not know what it was. I found it's also known as "Jack-by-the-hedge" here in UK. Having searched for more info and then watching your excellent video I'm amazed at its health benefits. I'm keeping a clump growing so I can harvest regularly to use in salads, soups and pesto. Am quite excited it found me. Hope I don't live to regret it!
You mentioned Pittsburgh - For a few years now they have been using goat herds to trim down the garlic mustard in Frick Park. Lots of deer in that park!
I don't know how you have learned so much at a young age! I have watched your videos on trees, mushrooms and now plants and flowers. All very well done and informative. Thank you!
Also watching from Wisconsin. This plant is special because in an emergency situation, knowledgeable folks could substantially improve a basic diet for their family by foraging this abundant resource.
This year there is a bunch popping up on disturbed sites, and Its actually a tasty "micro green." Going to try and harvest seeds to keep and cultivate the micro greens indoors in the winter.
I love garlic mustard. Here is the recipe for probiotic food from garlic mustard. We use a cup of sticky rice soaked in water overnight. Clean the rice once and add more water to flood the rice. Drain the water and we are gonna use it to marinate the garlic mustard. Clean the garlic mustard and remove the water as much as possible. Stuff it in a jar add a few teaspoons of salt and pour rice water to flood and close the lid. Leave it at room temperature for 3-5 days, if you want a more sour taste leave it out longer and we can keep it in the fridge for quite a long time. The taste is sour and a little salty. The texture is crunchy so you probably can't stop eating it.
My friend.... Scurvy is never a threat anywhere cone bearing gymnosperms grow. (Pine trees!) Pine needles contain a lot of vitamin C. You can make a tea by boiling them, chewing and sucking on them raw, etc. I recommend the tea method because it tastes much better, plus you often can improve nutrient content and flavor with wintergreen leaves and berries, which are common around pine trees year round.
As you said, it grows all over the place here in the UK, including in our garden. My husband regularly puts it in salads. Delicious! I didn’t know about all the medicinal properties though, so thank you for this.
I just harvested some today on my hike..didnt know I was going to see any it was very prevalent where we were. It's funny because I just watched your video the other day and saw it today.. I also got some dandilion leaves ..it all made a great addition to my sandwhich.. lol.. it's such a blessing to walk through the woods and fields and know the plants that are edible and medicinal.. it's like I see a buffet everytime I go outside! My family always laughs when I say that .. I love it ..so much good natural food and so good for us!!
Someone was picking some Garlic Mustard by the bike path when I was on a ride. She gave me a small bunch that I snacked on the rest of the way home. Delightful treat, and I am excited to go gather some on my own. Hopefully my appetite can help curb the local GM population...
I learn so much from your vids. You are the only one I have found on YT that explains everything Bless You for the time you spend and the education you give.
Hi Adam, thanks for another fine video alongside with the information. I also harvest the leaves and root . The root has a taste similar to radishes. A great way to enjoy another one of God's creations. Thanks again for sharing.
Amazing content as always! You are so thorough on the information; I have not found anything nearly as informative as this. I bet a walk through the woods with you as a guide is an unparalleled experience
dude you are so brilliant ;) and you present content in such an understandable way, i feel informed, yet not completely overwhelmed w/ technicalities... thank you for the avid dedication you've shown to conservation of knowledge and the environment- and for sharing your passion with the world! its truly a blessing...
We have lots of Garlic Mustard here in South Devon, U.K. The Pilgrim Fathers probably took some from Plymouth on the Mayflower. All the best. Love your videos.
I live in the country and I have just got into learning more about the native plants around me and your videos are all immensely helpful! I also love how you cite your information and your words are backed by actual studies. Thank you!
Your passion and coinciding facial expressions are so attractive and make learning enjoyable…..don’t let anything or anyone change that if at all possible, it’s your magic and I’m beyond grateful that you’ve chosen to share yourself with the rest of us…💋🍀🌈
Thank you. This is one of the few "weeds" in my food forest garden (in the Netherlands) I had not been able to identify yet. Good to know it's edible and healthy.
Hi! I have been watching you for a few years, & find your information, Fantastic!! You are Very informative, & Knowledgable. When you said it was prolific where deer are, I had to rewind the vid, lol! I live in T.O. Canada, a similar "zone" to yours, & had nvr heard of this plant. Because of Covid-19, I have been walking a lot in the GTA, & have seen this everywhere! The places in Toronto area I have been walking in, actually have deer!?!? Who knew!? I have been ripping them up when I have time, to help the poor deer...I have yet to eat them as I think they would be polluted. Pls keep informing us 💛❤️🌼💕😋
Adam I’m in awe of the information you bring forth with such ease. As a Naturalist I appreciate this kind of info. .....as someone looks at me strangely for talking about how chickadees are more intelligent in the winter and trees feed their young through fungus 😀👍🔥⛺️🌳
One MAJOR- URGENT, "problem".. Is that the "pharma industry" has used SOO MANY, "#SyntheticChemicals" for "trying to: aid, prevent and treat", "x, y and/or z", WITHOUT giving ANY type of "pertinent info"- as to the "long term consequences"- for "using" said "chemicals". "#ThePeople", I STRONGLY "believe"..

That goes without saying- IF "pharma", has had time and time again- to "help you" and the "pharma drugs" ARE NOT REALLY, "helping YOU".. YOU NEED to be asking YOUR SELF... "WHO", AM I "helping"?

@@Trakehner20 The more northern or mountainous chickadees have superior spatial memories due to larger hippocampus which helps them locate food caches during wintertime.
I love how informative and éducative your videos are. Always a lot of information well explained. Thank you for doing all that research and helping us understand more about the world we live in! 😊
Hey Adam! Every time I see a patch of garlic mustard I wait till it gets to be a foot high and pull an armload. I stick the whole bunch in a pail of water and keep it in the kitchen as a house plant. I snip a handful of the stuff for supper.
I was fascinated by the deer connection, I never expected the twist about the native species. This is a great example of how inter- connected all of nature is. We need to think about that more......
I ribbon cut it, sauté in a cast iron pan with a little butter and add champagne honey mustard sauce to it. It's also good dehydrated as chips or powdered as a seasoning.
Bad idea, too many jumping on that bandwagon... He is the Best channel on Botanical education and plant ID. If anything, he should expand to include West coast.
*WELL LOOK AT IT NOW* and "happy for Adam" as HE *provides us with SO MUCH INFORMATION & REALLY "IS SO KNOWLEDGABLE & GENEROUS" by sharing ALL this INFO*
@tls arcadian many thanks for this. Got this plant growing in a ditch verge of my stoned yard, thriving for many years. Bit by bit every weed is becoming a jewel.
Wealth of info, but I'd love it if you added a few methods of eating the plants you're discussing - something practical... by the way, you turned me on to stinging nettle. Dandelion used to be my favorite foraged tea, not anymore! Stinging Nettle is awesome!
Loving your videos. We have a farm in KY and for years I have wondered about this plant (garlic mustard) which grows all along the creek and deer trails. I knew it was an invasive species but nothing more. Thank you for providing answers to a long standing question.
Ha ha,I'm from Britain,Jack by the Hedge (Garlic Mustard)was my first bushcraft plant,and it's absolutely EVERYWHERE in the UK,mainly in the countryside,and most often by the sides of woods,hedges and walls.From early spring onward it really dominates,and is very good to eat.I'm glad it's getting the attention it deserves...brilliant video ,Adam,much appreciated.So much information,I'm going to watch this a few times to take it all in....fascinating!You've got me really looking forward to Spring already! By the way,I would rate Dandelion,Wild Garlic (Ramsons),Cow Parsley and Herb Robert as the four most abundant (or at least visible) wild plants we see in the North of the UK.Once you get hooked on identifying plants and mushrooms,you can't stop.These are definitely good ones to begin with,and wild garlic and garlic mustard are pretty easy to i.d.,and as I said,very good to eat.
I moved from an overcrowded neighborhood in NH to 8 acres with woods in NC . I’m attempting to Permaculture my land and I’ve learned SO much watching your videos! Thank you! It’s never too late 😁
Please don't purposely cultivate this plant. It's a highly invasive species, nearly impossible to remove once established. Your best option would be to wild forage it. You'll get usable herbs, and help local forests to improve ❤
I like that He says the latin name in the beginning, so that I can look in Wikipedia, wether this plant is growing in my country. Best greatings from Austria 😊
Have you put out a book yet? If not you should. I don't like telling others what they "should" do...but your talent and knowledge would be highly appreciated in book form 💯😎😁
I love your videos. I've always had a love of herbs and plants and in the last two tears have been making a priority of learning all about them and foraging my 42 acres of fields and woods. I've been building my own apothacary. I'm in Ohio, only about an hour from Pittsburgh so your videos are especially helpful because most of what you present are what I have! Thank you so much for your informative videos and I hope to take part in some of your classes soon.
Garlic Mustard also has a lot of seeds. The seeds can be put in a grinder and made into a mustard. The root is supposedly a horseradish like substitute.
I agree, the seeds are delicious dry rub some on meat or fish and grill it up yummy. I didn't know about the root, I'm going to have to try some.
That would be because horseradish is also in the Brassicaceae family. You can grow horseradish in your garden quite easily from store bought roots, though be warned, once it gets established you will never get rid of it.
Great to know thanks for that bit of knowledge.
Awesome thanks 🎉
@@FrozEnbyWolf150 I put it in an enclosed garden space and it still tries to escape its “confines,” the little beggar!

Amazing content as always! You are so thorough on the information; I have not found anything nearly as informative as this. I bet a walk through the woods with you as a guide is an unparalleled experience
dude you are so brilliant ;) and you present content in such an understandable way, i feel informed, yet not completely overwhelmed w/ technicalities... thank you for the avid dedication you've shown to conservation of knowledge and the environment- and for sharing your passion with the world! its truly a blessing...
We have lots of Garlic Mustard here in South Devon, U.K. The Pilgrim Fathers probably took some from Plymouth on the Mayflower. All the best. Love your videos.
I live in the country and I have just got into learning more about the native plants around me and your videos are all immensely helpful! I also love how you cite your information and your words are backed by actual studies. Thank you!
I've been eating this for years. It's delicious and free. It stir fried down to nothing like spinach. X
I love cooking up the stalks in the late spring/early summer and putting them on a sandwich.
Thanks for the idea.
Your passion and coinciding facial expressions are so attractive and make learning enjoyable…..don’t let anything or anyone change that if at all possible, it’s your magic and I’m beyond grateful that you’ve chosen to share yourself with the rest of us…💋🍀🌈
First thing I thought it was from England. It's absolutely everywhere here in the UK. Looks like it's loving the US as well the way it's growing.
Thank you. This is one of the few "weeds" in my food forest garden (in the Netherlands) I had not been able to identify yet. Good to know it's edible and healthy.
You are incredibly smart. I have learned so much.
Thankyou Adam for the knowledge and energy you put on into these videos👍👍👍
Thanks for watching Maurice!
What an awesome video thank you!!
Thankyou so much for your time and research!
I watched a number of videos from the UK and the leave of what they call garlic mastered was quite different. It was very long and smooth.
Hi! I have been watching you for a few years, & find your information, Fantastic!! You are Very informative, & Knowledgable. When you said it was prolific where deer are, I had to rewind the vid, lol! I live in T.O. Canada, a similar "zone" to yours, & had nvr heard of this plant. Because of Covid-19, I have been walking a lot in the GTA, & have seen this everywhere! The places in Toronto area I have been walking in, actually have deer!?!? Who knew!? I have been ripping them up when I have time, to help the poor deer...I have yet to eat them as I think they would be polluted. Pls keep informing us 💛❤️🌼💕😋
Very informative and I pickle this plant every yrs as a side dish for my dinner.
Adam I’m in awe of the information you bring forth with such ease. As a Naturalist I appreciate this kind of info. .....as someone looks at me strangely for talking about how chickadees are more intelligent in the winter and trees feed their young through fungus 😀👍🔥⛺️🌳
Thanks Joe!
The thing about chickadees more intelligent in winter, that caught me by surprise- what causes that?
One MAJOR- URGENT, "problem"..
Is that the "pharma industry" has used SOO MANY, "#SyntheticChemicals" for "trying to: aid, prevent and treat", "x, y and/or z", WITHOUT giving ANY type of "pertinent info"- as to the "long term consequences"- for "using" said "chemicals".
"#ThePeople", I STRONGLY "believe"..
NEED to START, doing "#DeepDiveResearch" into the #PlantBiology , the #FunctionalEcology and to "UN-learn" the- NON-SENSICAL, SHENANIGANS- that "THEY" HAVE been "conditioned" & "programmed" to "believe" is "true"!
I think- SOME "people"- got one HELL, of a #RudeAwakening when the "#CNNTechAdvisorExposed2021" ("thing") came out- and his "intentions"...
[both behind the SO-CALLED "News"/"media" aspect of "television", "influential marketing"- etc]
...were, CLEARLY- "#Dense" as all HELL!
Its quite "frustrating", to ME- that the [SO-CALLED] "#ThePeople", CANNOT "see" whats not only being "#DoneToThem"- (NOT "FOR" you- in fact, A TON- IS being "#DoneToYouNotForYou"-) ...and the "#Gov", "#PharmaIndustry" ARE NOT "informing" "#ThePeople" OR "the mASSes"- about A. WORD. of ANY. of THIS!
(frankly, its a "#CrimeAgainstHumanity".. the FACT, that people like, Adam- HAVE to be the ones to "inform" "#ThePeople"...
PROVES- that so-called "#HumanityIsInAnInformationWar"!
If "#Humanity"- was NOT, (in an "Information War") then, THIS stuff- WOULD BE "reported on", "explained-in-depth" & OPENLY, spoken about- in not JUST "#EcologyScience", "scenarios"...
...BUT, AT EVERY [SO-CALLED] "#University" and EVERY. SINGLE. "#College"!
Is "IT"?! Nope!
"Why?" (You ask)
..you "see", because IF "THEY" ("Gov"/"Pharma") DID, release- THIS "type" of "information" at the "Colleges"/"Universities"- then, "#ThePeople" would "HAVE", NO "NEED" to "listen to", "trust" OR "believe"-
...that "Pharma"/"Gov"- "has the solution, to whatever 'ailment'- that the "majority" of "#ThePeople"- are "suffering WITH"
THESE, "#MultiBillionDollarIndustries", such as-
- "#EssentialOils"
- "#Pharma" CIRCUS..
- (whats coming "next") "#Geneology Treatments", that ARE going to "blow up"...
ONLY, SOLELY & STRICTLY- BECAUSE "#ThePeople", are "trusting" & "believing" in the #OldAndOutDatedParadigms that NO LONGER WORK!
The "#TextBook" DEFINITION- OF "insanity"... is- continuing the SAME EXACT "patterns", "behaviors"- but "EXPECTING" a "different" result!
That goes without saying-
IF "pharma", has had time and time again- to "help you" and the "pharma drugs" ARE NOT REALLY, "helping YOU"..
YOU NEED to be asking YOUR SELF...
"WHO", AM I "helping"?
I'll tell you, "who"!
"#Pharma" with its, NOW.. (due to the whole, #FearMongering, SO-CALLED "COVID Program"- BOTH #Psychologically & #Physiologically- I have "observed", "watched", "tested" & "tested" AGAIN- the "behavior" of the "people" who- DO "trust" & "believe"- [STILL, unfortunately] in the whole, "#PharmaIndustryScheme"! This "COVID Program"- was "conveyed" so that ultimately, "humanity" would be "seperated", "DIS-connected" & "divided" so that "THEY" COULD "#GetPeopleToBuyOnline" & to get THOSE, (who- PRIOR to the "COVID Program"- downright, REFUSED to "#ShopOnline"! This IS- ALLLLLL going to "backfire" on THOSE who "trusted", "believed", "depended ON" & "counted ON"- the "Gov" to "keep THEM safe"!)
Put az simply as I can articulate it... THIS, was ALLLL- #HumanitysBiggestDownfall by "handing OVER" THEIR OWN, "power" BY "trusting" & "believing" the whole- #MultiBillionDollarEmbezzlingScheme
Scientifically, if even 1/4 of "#ThePeople"- fundamentally COMPREHENDED, the REAL, "#Science" BEHIND the "sickness", "ILL-ness" & "DIS-ease"- SCHEMES- then, "#Humanity" WOULD NOT "use"/"utilize" ANY part of the SO-CALLED "#PharmaIndustry"...
..IF ONLY-
"#ThePeoole", WOULD- DO their OWN "#DueDilligence", do THEIR OWN "research" and to REALLY, "DIG-DEEP" behind all of the "science"... (but NOT using "google", bc THAT [SO-CALLED] "Platform" is NOT, ONE BIT- what "The People", "believe" 'it' REALLY, really IS!)
"Google", is an #AdvertisingPlatform"!
It is MEANT- to "#SellToYou"!
Its NOT "MEANT" to "tell YOU the truth", no its NOT- I'm sorry!
"The People", haven't EVEN the slightest "clue" as to whats REALLY, #ReallyGoingOn AND.. whats REALLY, really- BEING "DONE" TO them- (as I stated above) ..NOT "for" THEM!
They WILL, "realize" THIS- WHEN/ONCE, "THEY" have "lost" their "health"!
A, SO-CALLED "Doctor's", "JOB", is to "get YOU" to "trust" & "believe"- that WHAT "THEY" tell YOU, is the "truth" and that THEY- "are #EthicalHumans"!
The ASS-umption, that "Doctors"- are ALL, "#EthicalHumans"- is as IGNORANT, as SELF-DESTRUCTIVE, as #DrinkingAlcohol, EVERY. DAY. AFTER. "WORK"!
DUH!🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤯
THEN, later on- "in life"- YOU "WONDER", "WHY?" YOU end up with "#LiverDisEases".
Really? Can YOU SAY- "IRRESPONSIBLE Ignorance"?!?!
There ARE, "CONSEQUENCES", to EVERY THING YOU DO!
Literally, but NONE of YOU, "The People", CAN "see" THIS!
(... BECAUSE of "how" YOU, HAVE "been CONDITIONED" & "PROGRAMMED"- to:
"believe" & "trust" that YOU "WILL BE 'informed' of ALL 'info' pertinent- to YOU & YOUR Family!)
THAT👆 right THERE-
is THE BIGGEST "SCHEME" that IS "being portrayed" ONTO "Humanity"!
..and NONE of YOU- "see" IT!
YOU WILL, AFTER YOU- "lose" your "health" though. (AFTER its "too late" for YOU, to even HAVE THE "CHOICE" to CHOOSE between "trusting" & "believing" the SO-CALLED "Pharma Industry"..
AAAND the SO-CALLED "Gov"!
(Regardless of the "country" YOU live in!)
This IS, "being DONE"- GLOBALLY!
..on a mASS-scale!

The more northern or mountainous chickadees have superior spatial memories due to larger hippocampus which helps them locate food caches during wintertime.
Thank you for sharing some truly informative content, I loved it!
I love how informative and éducative your videos are. Always a lot of information well explained. Thank you for doing all that research and helping us understand more about the world we live in! 😊
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Hey Adam! Every time I see a patch of garlic mustard I wait till it gets to be a foot high and pull an armload. I stick the whole bunch in a pail of water and keep it in the kitchen as a house plant. I snip a handful of the stuff for supper.
In Flanders (Europe) this is a common plant that we call "look zonder look", i.e. "garlic without garlic" :-)
I was fascinated by the deer connection, I never expected the twist about the native species.
This is a great example of how inter- connected all of nature is.
We need to think about that more......
It’s the oldest known culinary herb in Europe, 4,000 BC it’s found in pottery from Æterbolle, Denmark 🇩🇰 I can see it from my windows 🥰
On UA-cam site Fresh and Foraged I learned how to make Garlic Mustard Kraut. She uses cabbage, garlic mustard, salt and ... curry!
Just started eating it I love that taste slightly bitter and since I love Broccoli Roby it’s soo good - perfect with my scrambled eggs 💰✅☀️
Great talk. Thank you.
I found my first garlic mustard in Norway today. This is fun!
I ribbon cut it, sauté in a cast iron pan with a little butter and add champagne honey mustard sauce to it. It's also good dehydrated as chips or powdered as a seasoning.
Good Job, informative, entertaining, I'll be subscribing
Garlic mustard & grape tomatoes sauteed in some olive oil + salt makes for the best burger toppings ever.
you should do some culinary videos to expand your reach, if you have the time!
love the idea of seeing this channel grow
Great idea!!! I would love that. We all know how that subject balloons! Ppl love culinary!
Bad idea, too many jumping on that bandwagon... He is the Best channel on Botanical education and plant ID. If anything, he should expand to include West coast.
*WELL LOOK AT IT NOW* and "happy for Adam" as HE
*provides us with SO MUCH INFORMATION & REALLY "IS SO KNOWLEDGABLE & GENEROUS" by sharing ALL this INFO*
CakeZ
Which would take time from the teaching of the plants. Not good !
@tls arcadian many thanks for this. Got this plant growing in a ditch verge of my stoned yard, thriving for many years. Bit by bit every weed is becoming a jewel.
This is wonderful info. Thanks!
Dang you have such a wealth of knowledge!
Thanks for the education.
Wealth of info, but I'd love it if you added a few methods of eating the plants you're discussing - something practical... by the way, you turned me on to stinging nettle. Dandelion used to be my favorite foraged tea, not anymore! Stinging Nettle is awesome!
Loving your videos. We have a farm in KY and for years I have wondered about this plant (garlic mustard) which grows all along the creek and deer trails. I knew it was an invasive species but nothing more. Thank you for providing answers to a long standing question.
You are amazingly knowledgeable! The only thing I missed was a more deatailed description of how to identify this plant.
Fascinating discussion. I often join groups to irradiate it in local woodlands
Ha ha,I'm from Britain,Jack by the Hedge (Garlic Mustard)was my first bushcraft plant,and it's absolutely EVERYWHERE in the UK,mainly in the countryside,and most often by the sides of woods,hedges and walls.From early spring onward it really dominates,and is very good to eat.I'm glad it's getting the attention it deserves...brilliant video ,Adam,much appreciated.So much information,I'm going to watch this a few times to take it all in....fascinating!You've got me really looking forward to Spring already!
By the way,I would rate Dandelion,Wild Garlic (Ramsons),Cow Parsley and Herb Robert as the four most abundant (or at least visible) wild plants we see in the North of the UK.Once you get hooked on identifying plants and mushrooms,you can't stop.These are definitely good ones to begin with,and wild garlic and garlic mustard are pretty easy to i.d.,and as I said,very good to eat.
Excellent excellent video! Liked and subscribed!
I moved from an overcrowded neighborhood in NH to 8 acres with woods in NC . I’m attempting to Permaculture my land and I’ve learned SO much watching your videos! Thank you! It’s never too late 😁
Please don't purposely cultivate this plant. It's a highly invasive species, nearly impossible to remove once established. Your best option would be to wild forage it. You'll get usable herbs, and help local forests to improve ❤
I like that He says the latin name in the beginning, so that I can look in Wikipedia, wether this plant is growing in my country. Best greatings from Austria 😊
Much Appreciation Adam! It would be impossible Not to learn a multitude with your enthusiastic intellect.
If there is a zombie apocalypse we are going to need this guy.
Thank you for sharing!
Have you put out a book yet? If not you should. I don't like telling others what they "should" do...but your talent and knowledge would be highly appreciated in book form 💯😎😁
Dang, lots benefits and information.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, very informative! 😊👍🙏
Yup loved this one, as all your videos, plenty info on good stuf in nature.
Great stuff.Is in flower at the moment.
I love your videos. I've always had a love of herbs and plants and in the last two tears have been making a priority of learning all about them and foraging my 42 acres of fields and woods. I've been building my own apothacary. I'm in Ohio, only about an hour from Pittsburgh so your videos are especially helpful because most of what you present are what I have! Thank you so much for your informative videos and I hope to take part in some of your classes soon.
