Most of your foraging will be done in your neighborhood. In this video Green Deane shows us some of his yard then walks around his neighborhood finding wild edibles. (For some unknown reason the screen shots got cut off when uploaded. ) 135 of Green Deane's You Tubes are availble on DVDs: www.eattheweeds.com/media-page...
I love it when you show the magnified images. That's what's really missing from a lot of field guides, and even online resources. You do an awesome Job man, and I really appreciate all your hard work.
Makes me sad when I was a kid and was hungry I went inside to get a snack...I could have been eating in my yard the whole time and saved myself so much time 😂
Lmaoooo
Same here, we starve many times growing up and all along food was in our yard 🤦🏽♀️😅
Yes, this should be taught in every school. A real skill you can use! 😆
@@kerryalbritton6532 Unfortunately, the ruling class long ago realized the less self-reliant we all are the better workers we make for them
I started eating green plants, leaves and tree bark about two years ago and all my medical problems are completely gone.
Leroy Canty Jr. Where do you get tree bark? Does it matter what kind of tree?
Leroy Canty Jr
Ya, what kind of bark? And what problems did you have ? Thanks
All tree bark is edible, just cut a piece off and eat it (I hope you know I'm joking).
Birch is the only one I would eat personally
slippery elm,..i have an elm but never tried the bark thing....you sure don't want to burn elm....it smells like creosote bad,bad
For crying out loud! I have a gold mine of rare weeds in my yard, and the neighbors don’t know I’m rich.
Now I know you are so rich.
True wealth comes from good health and wise ways. Cry it out loud!
haha
😆
I think soldiers should be educated on this.
They could feed on plants if needed, many of us discard all those out of ignorance.
Thank you for sharing this valuable information. It's wonderful what Nature provides for us all if we just take the time and connect.
Oh my goodness Mr! If I lived where you are fortunate to be, I'd have my pressure canner and dehydrator working 24/7
Green Deans foraging trips in Florida are amazing! Cant wait for Sunday’s class is West Palm! Its incredible what you can find and enjoy just around the corner from your own house! Love the videos too!
That is pretty clever using the magnifying lens like that! It really makes a difference! 💖
My grandfather used to treat hogs for collora using poke weed root. He would boil the root in water. Then strain off the water into a long necked wine bottle. Stick the bottle down the hogs throat to dose him with about 1/4 of the bottle. Even if the hog was down sick and couldn't get up, this would cure the hog of collora. He too would pick the young leaves as greens. Great videos!!!
Traveler1226 Are you meaning Cholera like what nearly kills people or am I misunderstanding? I never want to see it but would like to know of a treatment. My understanding up to now was antibiotics and IV for days until symptoms subside after 3-4 weeks.
Traveler1226 great share. Rugged but worked
Thank you for sharing!
@@johndix1820 This reply is 3 years too late. But the poke root cure is only good for hogs. Which is because of their strong liver which filters out toxins very well. If you tried to treat a human with cholera using poke root it would kill a human.
OH Happy day! So happy to see a video from you.
I live and work on a ranch many miles west of Houston, Texas. After watching most of your vids, I can't help but look everywhere I walk for plants I've seen you talk about. I don't attempt to pick and eat the plants because I don't trust that I remembered all that needs to be remembered about a found plant but it's exciting to search and be aware of the wild foods. The recent rains have awoken many plants from last years drought. Thanks!
You have nicer weeds in your neighbourhood than I do.
I don't have any. People want 'perfect grass'. And so murder the weeds with weed & people killer pesticides.
Thank you for the wonderful knowledge to expand our minds. We all can always enjoy gaining useful knowledge that our bodies can enjoy. Now that it is getting warmer here in central Ohio I can go outside or take a stroll in our local state park to explore and forage tasty wild healthy eats for lunch. That is always the best part of Spring. Thanks again for such knowledgeable experience of joyful new beginnings.
Henbit at 13:30 is wonderful salad or dish addition. A great seasonal weed!
Thanks for the walk in the neighbor, Dean!
Most of your plants shown are also found in my country. Thanks for sharing as many if them shown are thrown away as weeds, but now I know they're edible. ❤ from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
I wish I knew about this guy and his classes when I lived in Florida! What a missed opportunity:-(
Sierra Ergundogdu you can still learn .
Your videos are ALWAYS worth the time. Education at its' finest.
Good to see you back in front of the camera. Always learn from you. Thanks for sharing. You do such a GREAT job.
I have just discovered your channel and I am very excited. Best I have seen yet to help identify plants. I am learning so much!!
Could you please include common names of these plants....most people don't know or understand the botanical names( Latin ).
Thank you this would be most appreciated...
💙💙💙💙
Research and find out for yourself dear heart
@tnnt05 and that's why its handy to know how to pronounce Latin and be interested in the botanical names, if you give me a timestamp i can help you
Common names can be deceptive. People use different common names for the same weed and the same names for wildly different weeds and sometimes they overlap too. Very unreliable.
You will find that different regions call plants different nicknames...so it’s always eat to look up the universal Latin name. That you can find out what it’s called in your region. Plants can look alike and one can be poisonous...too...so please do research.
It would be nice to read the common names as you said 🙄
Like the way you are a little detail with each edible weed.
Just wish you can put the names on the screen so it’s easier to remember & take notes.
Thanks for the video.
Do You KNOW ABOUT the ULTRAFINE PARTICLES Manmade poisons man SCIENTISTS MAKING POISONS TO KILL LIFE: pesticdes in our RAIN WORLDWIDE? EVERY PLANT ANIMAL INSECTS BIRDS MAN CHILD EARTH/dirt sands OUR AIR is POLLUTED and is making mankind sickly weakly. We need to COVER PROTECT OUR FOODS.
What a great walkabout, thanks again for sharing with us.You have me smiling again.
Thank you for taking your time out to make all of these resources available. The magnification really helps, by the way.
Hey deane been watching your vids for a long time on this and my other youtube account, your site and knowledge is an absolutely excellent resource for me and I just want to thank you for doing all this it is truly helpful!
your yard is so wonderful! i can't even imagine having citrus in my back yard. i envy you. i have lots of weeds .. about all that will grow in my yard, i will research them now. i have lots of VERY hardy dandelions. i always thought the flowers were so pretty and now that i know how important those roots are i will never try to get rid of them. they are truly so powerful and amazing. thanks for sharing.
Solid Video from 2012 still going strong! Thank you for this.....
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Richard, your videos are the greatest! Keep up the good work!
@EatTheWeeds definitely need to do a book with regional sections. I read about crete and ever since ive been obsessed with 'urban foraging'. THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Loving that you are in FLORIDA (my state) unlike many other foraging videos which are in Pacific Northwest. Looking forward to all videos in future
I was here trying to find info on plantago. As always you were more than helpful. Thanks.
I eat a lot of chickweed but mostly as a juice. Chickweed covers the soil in my garden every spring, uninvited, and now that I have embraced it I see it is a gift and not the bane I believed it was before. lol I find the best chickweed grows in the shadow of something else. the leaves are larger, juicier and softer if grown in a shadow of spring greens and cabbages etc. I add a large handful to my juicing mix of greens (it would amount to a cup) or added to a salad mix.
Hey, thanks Deane hope to see more videos from you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
you are so amazing - i can't wait to pick up the flowers and the root of the Dandelion - i have tons of them organic grown in my yard. thank you - Bless your little kind heart
Thank you for making this video.
This is the best video you've ever done!
Great job on the website.
omg God I love these videos.thank you for making them.
Asking this question is part of my Research... As I am a self tought herbalist..
Also I am a
Certified Horticulturist.
8:40 sow thistle
16:00 wild lettuce
These are the 2 thing you didn't give common name for...
EVERYTHING ELSE
YOU DID..
Thank you..
🌿🌿🌿🌿
I really enjoyed this video, especially the loop feature and the website.
Great video Green Deane! Love your vids!
Im so impressed. How did you learn the vast amount of information?! Love the videos, keep up the fantastic work sir.
You and your vocab is ingenious.
Just met you here today,built in meaning associated with weeds,and it’s characteristic is great to know. Thankyou. Purslane stems to be pickled,sounds good. I introduced red Tandaljo(Amaranthus) in my yard,and love it adding daily to my meals(with eggplant). Also freezes well.
Thank you.
Learned a lot, thanks.
Outstanding!!! So glad i found you and subscribed!! I've been looking for a FL. Specific field guide to edibles in our yards and off the beaten track. In times like these those with proper Intel may have to resort to grazing in their back yards instead of paying Boo Coo! $$ for traditional greens, veggies and fruit . Wish you had a paper back field guide with great color photos for us old school guys/gals!! I plan on Binge watching this weekend!! Oooh Raah !! Thank You Sir!!
My book, written in 2020, is supposed to be available in a year.
Your info is AMAZING! U are such a good teacher! Thanks Green Bean! Come to St. Augustine PLEASE!!
I need to find a good location there. I am in Port Orange and Jacksonville now.
Great video as always, thank you
In the first neighbors lawn you visit, there is a healthy groundcover of gotu kola (centella asiatica, Asiatic pennywort). The greens are very bitter but are nutritious and are said to enhance brain function
dandelions are very high in nutrition but they taste very bitter. a way Koreans use to cook mindeullae (the korean name for it) is by marinating it in soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and Dried Korean chili powder. it will still be a bit more bitter but it's still very good and is one of my favorite dishes to eat with rice.
Dandelion leaves are less bitter on younger plants. They make a great addition to salad greens. Dandelions that have flowered will be more bitter and when the flowers go to seed the leaves are at their bitterest. When they are too bitter for salads, they can be sauteed with other vegetables or tossed into soup.
Very interesting! I have been very curious about the weeds growing around my house! I can identify chickweed and very excited to try it! Thank you! I can't wait to check out more of your videos!
Thank you Deane for the video. I've been watching your wonderful videos for a long time now & have thoroughly enjoyed every one. For many reasons I have smiled, laughed & contemplated. But it was not until this one, another benefit was 'unearthed' LOL Not one time in 24:43 did I stress about my bills, or the laundry I have to do, or the noisy neighbors, or, or, or> Hehe. Listening to you describing the plants and their names was so interesting, that my stress just went 'walkabout'. Nice word. :)
Thank you for your videos! Very much appreciated!
Wow!! I knew God provided all we need in all the various plants and trees!😊 He is sooooo AWESOME! 😘
AMEN
In genesis all green vegetation bearing seed that is on the surface of the whole earth I give you for food and the animals and flying creatures also
FINALLY SPRING IS COMING!!! LOOKIN' FORWARD TO 50-100 NEW VIDEOS FROM YOU G. D.!
Nice to see another video from you, and cool that you mentioned mulberry leaves. In some parts of Turkey they also make dolma out of them while they're still light green and tender.
Great stuff, love the video, well done.
My eyes are bugging out!!! I didn't know all of those weeds are fit for the kitchen! Your videos were referred to me by a subscriber. I am delighted to subscribe to your channel!
Love the magnifying glass! thanks for going the extra mile :)
this is so cool this is what I been looking for, thank you 😀
Bro good presentation… my god much much to eat thanks from Tennessee
Always enjoy your videos!
Good Lord! You see food where everyone sees weeds! Thank you for this awesome work; you are one of the healers in the next wave! Again thank you! Love you channel!
Anogoya Dagaati +
True enough but one mistake and you will be pushing up the daises earlier that you plan!
Anogoya Dagaati so true and which is much needed in programmed living.
@@jamessim1858 Thank God for UA-cam and hedged/informed experimentation. Most plants are easy - I just don't mess with mushrooms even the obvious ones .
Hi Deane. Loved the very informative video. Thanks so much. I told you about the apple trees that I planted in Southern Ohio. What I just realized is that (as I was growing my little apple seedlings) is that there were all these other weeds that were growing in the pots with them. I quickly dispatched them. I just saw what they were 'errrrr'...Purslane (if that's how you spell it). Darn. Wished I had known. Thanks, now I know!
I like that you put the item up close so that we can see it better 👍🏽
You are awesome deane, im about to go outside and eat some weeds right now lol. Every weed you showed here grows wild and rampant in my yard.
Ty for ur vids. I'm learning so much from you
Thank you for you video. 👍
Love your clear identification pics n flavor info on my weeds in Wisconsin , wish you'd tell us if it just leaves, plus flowers, and roots edible?
Star fruit... you must live somewhere warm... Florida, that makes sense! Thanks for the videos!
This guy is smart, good teacher.
Thanks for this! Very interesting to find out some of the weeds in my yard are really edible! I live in the desert so plants are a bit different but I have something to go on.
Great video 👍
I enjoyed your video very openly.
Tonight for dinner I had plantains, dandelion, wild violet and wood sorrel. Not to bad, but not great. Thanks for all the ideas.
Thank you !
In 5:40 you're showing a plant. And around that plant, if you watch carefully there were circular shaped tiny plants. It's called Gotukola( centella asiatita) which can be eaten like a salad, or stir-fry dish.
*Thanks, very informative.* subscribed
all so great to know... tkx...
Hey Green Deane! I've been following you a while and I love all the information you provide in your videos. I've been thinking of starting a garden of weeds to bring things a bit closer to home. I'm having troubles finding good plants that have a lot of sustanence to them. What would be the best plants to start with for a weed garden?
Polllution is everywhere. That's the hard part to learn and figure out.
Love your videos
WOW - Great looking Star Fruit - - I'm so envious !
I have watched only 2 of your videos so far, but I wanted to say that this is great!!!
People should know how to forage, for one thing and people should also know plants that are used as a main ingredient in many modern medicines!
Zombie apocalypse, seriously you are the guy to go to in Florida!😂😂😂
Are you as experienced with plants in other regions/parts of the country? Since many of the same species turn up in similar regions, are you familiar with other plants from the same species but in different areas of the US? I would truly enjoy watching you travel to different areas of the US and detail the flora you come across on the way!!!
Thanks so much for your incredible wealth of knowledge! ❤
I have decided to embrace weeds since my gardening experiences have been stressful. Dandelions and lambs quarters are really doing well and so is yellow dock. I've been dehydrating extra to use in meals for the winter. Add to soups and casseroles, meatloaf, my family doesn't even know.
I have some weed plants in my courtyard but don’t know if they are edible.. I wish there is a site where one can take a photo upload it and find the answers. Your site is great...I learnt so much. Thanks.
What neighborhood is that? The garden of Eden? Starfruits and all these exotic plants and trees growing like nothing.
Orlando suburb
Great stuff! Thanks so much for this video! I really enjoyed it!! I just wish you mentioned your location and time of year at the beginning of the video. But it was great!
Thank you
It's a shame that my association will send us a notice for a cosmetic reason if we keep weeds like this. But it's interesting to see the weeds are edible.
you can uproot and replant in a planter.
Jeff Moody
Yep, with SUPER GOOD HEALTH BENEFITS TOO. That whole dandelion is super edible, including the root. Make a tea out of it, eat it.. You can harvest and dry it out for long shelf life. The taste isnt soo bad.
Jane Lee ugh I hate towns Bc they won't let us grow our lawn either although my "herb garden" is full of weeds now hehehehe
Jane Lee they want you dead !!!you are the weed to them lol...jk,jk
very nice video, .can you suggest a pocket book to carry on the trail with ilastration on all these weeds and also one book about cooking with these weeds
Like seeing another video. Your responsible for me stopping care for my lawn. I have about 14 edibles in my lawn i know here in ohio. Once i learned all you info it became a slippery slope to getting involved in permaculture. Weeds are food and tools for other plants. I can't believe all the time i spent weeding gardens etc when it's all an integral part of a whole system. From now on i plan on collecting a vast amount of variety . I never liked my veggies but weeds taste good to me.lol
thistle weeds are common in north America mostly sow thistles wild lettuce and dandelion greens star thistles also prickly lettuce and bitter lettuce.
Ty. The children and I found the stacys floridana in the yard and they taste like radishes to us. We used them in stir fry. We had such fun eating weeds. Life lessons are cool sometimes.
I don't make a habit of foraging for plants but do have a garden and fruit trees. Most plants leaves will change color when they stop using chlorophyll to process most of the light and begin using mostly xanthophyll. Chlorophyll gives the leaves the green color and the xanthophyll is more yellow. Reds, purples, and even sometimes blues are caused by anthocyanin.
also some plant's leaves will turn purplish or reddish when the plant is deprived of certain nutrients (eg phosphorus).
great video
could you develop more about the medicinal part of the plants???.
I'm in the Midwest states. Our dandelions can get huge. We mostly see green, but I've seen plenty reddish green leaves and stems. I use the flowers and make jelly. It tastes like a delicate honey.
Even tho I love herbs/botanicals, I was going to stop watching this thinking it would be just borring useless info... Well did I turn out to be wrong and amazed!!
Yay a new vid! This one was a long time coming, I thought you broke your camera or something. LOL nice one : )
Deane, YOU FRIGGIN ROCK. Love your video's. Have learned SO MUCH about the wild plants around my area here in North Florida. Quick question: Have you ever found SWEET WORMWOOD (Artemisia annua) in Florida? Or anywhere else? I have found several plants that appear to be similar to it, but nothing that exactly matches.
I no longer call anything a weed! Thanks for sharing!
@myrawadventure No. Here in Florida it is usually the Artemisia campestris.
