This is a great series but it seems like the plants you guys have featured so far have all been stuff that just grows in the southeast of the US. It would be cool if you featured more things that grew in more areas if the country, if that's the case anyway. Thanks for all you guys do; love the channel!
@@odd-ended Good to know about the Beautyberry. Also they don't need to travel to review plants that grow across the country. Just look them up, then go outside and find it, then review it. Boom!
They are all over my property in Homosassa. I used to pluck them and relocate to safer parts of the yard cause they feed the birds when food is scarce. Now I just mow them down. Maybe a couple should go in the garden if they keep the bugs away. I'll try making a tea and spray it on the garden. I'll get back to you on that one.
I need to find a book on wild edibles and useful plants in the South Dakota Black Hills. I grew up in Indiana, we had tons of nuts, berries, pau pau's, may apples and morel mushrooms you could eat.. not so much here. Just small prickly pears, yucca, and a few raspberries.
I pick the berries when they come in and make jelly. I have some in the freezer, since my family begs for it. I freeze them since the berries are out for a very short time. The jelly has a unique delicate flavor, and a lovely color to it. It's very good. I think it's my favorite jelly. I also make a pancake syrup out of it as well. Super good on pancakes. Yum. Steeping the leaves in water, the straining through cheese cloth and water bath canning it to use a skeeter spray works well. Keeps it "fresh". I've heard you can use the roots as a tea, but I've not tried that.
I swear the jelly tastes like blackberries raspberries and blueberries all together... and if you sell it at a farmers market nobody else is making it so it will be very unique.
I can never conceive of a world where "doo hickeys" and "pumper-nickles" are the first two names that pop up in my head... You people are the exact reason why we will never have to use the same common name more than once

If you have that many, let me come pick the berries and I'll share some jelly with you!
How do you do that? Share info with someone without the world seeing it?
Did you spray some on the garden?
Love this subject matter! I am not good at this yet I've already found too many times how very necessary this particular knowledge can be!

I love the video!
How about making more?

I make it, (huge demand from family members) and people are scared to try it, because they have never heard of it.
Good to know! Thanks!
