    One of the most difficult things, is remembering the names.
    A little annotation in a corner of the scientific name, or even both common and scientific, I personally would find that really, really helpful to kindof, lock it in my head.
    I'm sure as I get to know the families better I will find it far easier but I'm just at a stage I'm really struggling to keep up.
    A good frined of mine learns far better from books, so he's going out now and able to identify every plant his wife points at in their area ... to the point it's starting to freak her out!
    So I have competition!!! XD

    Well timed video. I went out the house with my son today intent on going to make pine needle tea but he had other plans and where he wanted to go didn't have pine trees.
    This video will more than likely be watched again tomorrow before I head out for our walk.

      @@UKWILDCRAFTS had no joy on finding anything because I got distracted when I seen a field almost filled completely with ash so I went in to search for cramp balls with my little minion on my shoulders.
      I was being eaten alive by midges and decided to call it a day when my little poop monster decided to put enough in 1 nappie to fill 5 nappies.
      However today was a different story I have seen chicken of the woods a few times but always gave it a tap and thought that's too tough for eating. Well today I think I found a pretty soft one just waiting for an id on Facebook to see if I've got the right one.

    How'd you come to know all this stuff? I find myself getting more and more interested in plants and botany. I'm a massive tea drinker too, I'm very interested to know how these plants taste. Very interesting video, to know that I myself can find and make use of these plants with just a little knowledge, amazing!

    • @UKWILDCRAFTS
      @UKWILDCRAFTS  3 роки тому +5

      Basically from years of reading books and putting it into practice. I’m basically always foraging when I’m out, always looking in the bushes haha. Also I’ve been on a fair few organised foraging walks as it’s nice to be able to ask a pro questions when you’re new to it

  • @bustawidemove23
    @bustawidemove23 Рік тому

    Part 2 please :) It would be great if you did a video on each tea. I mean like start with a shop bought product. Zoom in on the ingredients then give it a Lets Go, then star swip to forage then star swipe to the tea being dried for storage and made.
    i particularity interested in the red teas. witch i believe are a mix of plants.

    I’ve been looking out for the pineapple weed an after a few day I found it on the path only 10 doors away from my home I carefully pulled 2 up an I’m hopeful it will take and I can grow it on. Still haven’t tasted it. You say use it fresh or dried but can you freeze it. ❤️your channel

    • @UKWILDCRAFTS
      @UKWILDCRAFTS  4 роки тому +1

    • @UKWILDCRAFTS
      @UKWILDCRAFTS  4 роки тому +1

    I see pineapple weed everywhere on the pavement, in fact I see all the plants growing near the roadside in the best prime condition. It's like they know us foragers want to pick them so they deliberately grow near places we won't want to pick them 😫

    I'm 99% sure that I found water mint. I say 99% because it doesn't smell like how I'd expected - it was actually quite odd, but not unpleasant, weirdly. It was like a strong toothpastey smell. Would you say this is how you'd describe it, or have I picked the wrong plant? xD Saying that, I have already imbibed 4 mugs of this as a tea over the past two days, and I'm still alive and well.

    • @AndreaDingbatt
      @AndreaDingbatt Рік тому +4

      I was just thinking perhaps you might have found some Spearmint...
      Just as it's mentioned,Lol!!
      The Vast Majority of the Mint family are Edible and often Medicinal!!
      I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of the Mint family
      ~ have no toxic members...
      But, I could be wrong
      So it's best to check as there's always an exception to prove the Rule!
      Do your due diligence and enjoy your foraging!
      Especially the Eating /Drinking Part!!
