I've been watching Green Deane and reading his site www.eattheweeds.com for years, and have met him in person and attended his plant foraging walks. He is a consummate expert on wild edible plants, and has finally published a paperback book with his plant foraging wisdom. YES! - Навчання та стиль
Thank you for watching - you can get EAT THE WEEDS here: amzn.to/3vrmzpU
Green Deane is the man.
I didn't know he wrote a book! Yay! Just ordered mine. Thanks! 😎☘️🌿
Cool! I went on one of his walks, solid dude.
Shoot, as soon as you mentioned it I opened my Amazon app, and bought it, I did not think about you having a link. 🤦🏻♀️
Well I prefer hardcover stuff. Lol
@@t3dwards13 the link he shared has both
Greene Deen saved my lawn in 2004, I found out I had a garden the whole time 😂
😂😂
*I too have met with Green Dean and taken his foraging classes. I have gleaned so much knowledge from him just walking on the edge of the forest - at a nearby University where the classes were held. Deans Free newsletter is very informative. I encourage everyone to sign up for that. GD is a National treasure.*
I just read a new book on foraging from our public library that is the best book I've seen on the subject. Title: How to Forage for Wild Foods Without Dying. It shows other plants that look similar to the one(s) you're foraging so you can be sure you're not picking something that's poison by mistake.
That is a great title
Lol... timely... my ex landed in the ER ... poisoned his novice self foraging... of all things mushrooms!!
@@Katydidit Mushrooms are one thing I don't forage unless I'm absolutely positive of the identification.
OMG! I HAD NO IDEA GREEN DEAN HAD PUBLISHED! THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME!
Wild food is real food for regular people! Any book with correct information, that can get people outdoors looking closely and engaging with plants, is good. Identification keys are helpful for people willing to put the effort into learning how to use them. Although, just like books, one set of keys can be easier for someone to use than another. With wild mushrooms, learning to use identification keys is the most efficient way to learn hundreds of different kinds, and to focus on the right things to pay attention to. Nature has so much to offer, right outside our doors, even when we can't garden sometimes. Happy foraging!
Green Deane's classes are definitely worth the price. He's really good at taking and answering questions
Love Green Deane. Like the book. Hope he writes more. Maybe, you know of a Good publisher.
Samuel Thayer has some great wild edible books, very commonsense and practical
Yes, I was going to comment and mention them. His are slightly regional, and I'm wondering if this one is, too. (But both are probably useful in Kentucky, where I am.)
Yep. Green Dean is the man!
Stay safe during this stormy season. God bless y'all and keep growing and/or foraging!
You too. The storm last night was nuts!
@@davidthegood Rain and wind here, but nothing too bad.
😮 I have used Green Dean's website for years!
Very cool! Great to see you again, if even only here, DtG! God bless & keep you & yours as well. 😊♥️🙏
I love learning how to forage in Florida, I have several guides. I have also listened to Green Deane for years. I ordered the book as soon as you first shared the link. While the information is good, I would like to see more than one picture to identify the plant, especially when some pictures just show a root, or a stem. It is hard to judge size without a scale, and a plant without a good picture.
Agreed! I have a book on edible wild plants for my region, but the same issues is some plants only have a photo of the root or just a few leaves. This can make it not as easy to identify or differentiate between similar plants.
Checking into Green deen's book, thank you David for this informative video, 👍and 👋😊
I'm Building this chickshaw currently and love the adjustments you made. Being in Europe I already had to get creative with wheels and nestboxes.
Woohoo! I love Green Deane! Ordering now...
I have got to try defaulting to a breakfast scramble for dabs of greens I forage around my house. There's chickweed cascading out of the pots where I fall planted pawpaw seeds.
Do you have any favorite natives to bring into the garden itself? I love a good chernopod myself, and am considering growing some lamb's quarter microgreens inside from some saved seeds. I'm also a fan of maypops leaves and shoots as a green in any number of things, and enjoy snacking on a bite or two of wood sorrel. I figure if i'm going to have weeds in my garden, why not select for the weeds I like to eat?
Thanks to your recommendation, I ordered this book. I've loved his site for a few years now.
I have only had time to read a few entries in the book but it seems very detailed.
Thanks for the recommendation. When I get back home, I'll hopefully have time to read it in full.
Cool! Thank you for letting us know!
Thanks for the book recommendation. Just ordered it. Just so happens, we’re going to a foraging class soon.
green deane is a natural mystic
Ty! I have lots of Florida foraging guides and haven't found one that is practical. My kids and I love learning about everything growing around us and trying new things. I am ordering this today!
God bless!
Dammit! It's Summer here and we are getting crazy rain and once-in-a-hundred-year floods for the second time in 2 years!!
Luckily for me, I'm on high ground in the suburbs, so no big deal except for the weather pushing back all the plants.
All my best to those poor folks suffering flood again while still rebuilding from the last one.
I really like foraging wild foods and using "weeds". I might try to get a hold of this book. Thanks.
Oh nice. Long awaited
Got my order in, Green Deane is the man!
Looking sharp, Sir!
Hello beard. Welcome back...
Glad you are growing your beard back. You look much more distinguished.
I must check on this book to see if it covers anything in the East Texas area.
Your books are great , thanks for all the knowledge 🙏🏻😎✌🏻
Received that book for Christmas and it’s awesome!
Thank You for the recommendation!!
Buying it when payday arrives. ❤
Finally I'm so excited ❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
I love your videos David The Good. I love learning from you & I want to order from your daughter when I get the money. I especially want to order the Florida Everglades Tomato seeds ❤ I'm Ada Seale & live in East Texas. I'm 75 y/o & God willing will be 76 y/o Jan. 24,2024❤🙏🏼
I ordered two in December, one for the backpack and one for my nightstand collection.
nice
thanks for sharing
Central Florida native now in central Missouri ❤
Love ya
Also look at Sam Thayer for great foraging books.
Bought. Thanks.
I received the book for Christmas!!! Love it !!
I love to go in late march all way may and hunt for morale mushrooms and ramps. Us hillbillies call it dry land fishing. Bloodroot yellow root ginsing ramps morales and many more . Love to forage its so fun. And if you show a child they have much better eyes and find it so fun to forage
Thanks for letting us know about the book! I've never heard of the author and so wouldn't have found out otherwise. Looking forward to seeing what's to forage near me!
Oh, my gosh, his website is awesome!
The comment section is a wealth of knowledge of how to use the stuff.
I believe it's called Eat the Weeds and other stuff.
I've also taken a few classes by Merriweather from Foraging Texas.
Awesome !
Thanks for the info
I won’t risk eating wild mushrooms but I forage a bucket full of them a day and add them to my composts and biochar bin. Not sure if it helps but I figure getting spores in my compost and biochar could be beneficial
I do the same thing with greens. I cook them with my eggs. 😀
Hey stranger finally caught a live! Better than the virus I caught last week!😊
Took a tour with Deane at Wickham park. So much fun! He even identified some "funky" mushrooms. 🤪. Highly recommended you tour with him.
Got his book as a Xmas gift!
I purchased multiple copies & gave for xmas gifts. I was severely disappointed in the info he put for poke weed. It used to be sold in the can. Not toxic.
The info on it in the comments section of his site is pretty good.
In old canning books there's instructions to can it like other greens. I haven't tried it yet to see if I die, so I don't have any experience with it other than eating it the way my great grandma did...cook three times in water
I am not a fan of eating pokeweed.
@@davidthegood I like the taste but I just think it uses so much water I could be using to water plants I only have to cook once to eat lol
Do you not like the taste or the work involved?
I think, according to the comments on his site about it, there must be different species that are more or less toxic than others. Or, perhaps it's the area it's growing in.
I let it grow on my property but I haven't eaten any in five or six years at least.
Pokeweed is generally considered to have low toxicity, but you can poison yourself by eating too much.
North West Florida says Hi
I ordered two.😮
Yeah I need a copy hahah
Hi from Kansas
Yay!
I bought this book after seeing your video. The info is amazing. The pictures are way too small. And they do not show all parts of the plant to help with ID.
More, bigger pictures would be huge asset to this book or any book in case you are planning to write one.
Do a tame edibles book David, lol.
Thanks David, I need that book. We recently picked 15 pounds of oyster mushrooms off one oak log.
That is fantastic!
💕💕💕💕
Check out Southeast Foraging by Chris Bennett. He is an Alabama native btw.
1:40 "hunting ... wild berries..." What type if gun do you use to take down that wild strawberry?
Could you do a video on your Yaupon holly tea??
Are the plants mainly in Florida or coastal areas? I'm in upstate SC...
It has a wide range.
My sweetie gave me Green Dean's book for a Christmas gift! It's an awesome one. Love you BOTH! Thanks. ,🙏💞
I'm live in Missouri. I had the same question.
Uh I like puffballs. I once tried puffball I’ve seen growing in the yard occasionally. It was large and had a funny shape. Instead of round it was shaped like a loaf of bread and was approximately the size of a half of a loaf. My understanding was that cutting into a puffball and verifying the inside is white confirms that it is edible which this was. Unfortunately after eating this I expelled water for three days from a place water doesn’t usually come from. Does anyone have any insight about this?
i realize there is some growing crossover between FL and CA...I have been searching for a good foraging book covering Southerm California specifically and our wide range of climates and environments...anyone know of any? Thanks in advance
What is that song called at the end of the video?
“Fall into You” - it is on the David The Good Tunes channel
@@davidthegood thanks Brother!
Can I just leave sweet potatoes in the ground all year, Into next ? Will they just keep growing next year?
Depends on the climate. I have had some come up after winter, even in Tennessee. However, they don't seem to grow many more useable roots without replanting from slips.
How can I drop a tip for you..DTGood?
Do you accept crypto ..?
I am not sure how.
