Hope you had a great birthday and the tooth is on the mend. Dandelions are amazing food, it's generally the first thing available for bee's and other insects in spring. Great video as always Matty thanks for sharing I'm sure to give the dandelion coffee ago. ☕👍
It was a nice relaxing day, thank you ☺ tooth is see still bad but I'm staying optimistic. It's certainly one of them. The bees absolutely love the willow in the spring, love hearing the bushes buzzing away, far more nutritious than the dandelion for the bee too. Thank you so much that's really appreciated ☺ please do, I'm sure you will love it 😍
Fabulous video Matty. New they we're neutrinos but wow. Don't worry you can have all the coffee from it you like. Cant stand it haha. All yours bro. Fabulous video and perfect for anyone who wants to live a real life. Nature gives us everything and people dont give a duck. More for us 💚
Haha do you not like coffee or you don't like dandelion coffee? Thank you mate glad you enjoyed this one. I changed the software I used but hopefully it wasn't noticeable 😝
Matty, that video was fantastic 😁. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏻. I'm definitely going to make the patty and the coffee. Keep posting my friend... 😁
Thank you mate, really appreciate the kind words! You're welcome the more people that know the dandelion isn't a 'weed' then better ☺ Please do and let me know what you make of it 😁
Great information, thanks for sharing. The burger you made from the flowers looked really tasty! Dandelion is such an underrated plant. I grew up thinking it was just for pet rabbits to eat as a treat! What knowledge seems to get lost
Thank you for watching ☺ It was super tasty, a surprisingly pleasant texture! Well now you know to eat it and get the health benefits ☺ makes me sad knowing some knowledge has already been lost forever 😔
Thank you so much ☺ Lukcily I thought I turned 32 last year (but I didn't) so it's almost as if I didn't age this year 😂 I hope you do, the burgers are dead quick to forage and cook, can't recommended them enough. Can play about with different herbs and spices too 😋
Hope your Birthday was a good one mine was on 14th The sound of river so soothing It is amazing what nature's Larder gives. It does take knowledge, time and patience but if I could choose hours trolling round shops v hours in woods I know what I would pick. Hope that tooth gets sorted soon
Happy birthday for the 14th ☺ It is beautiful down by the river, does get very loud after a good rain though so I was grateful it didn't ruin the audio 😝 I couldn't agree with you more. The shop isn't a place I like to be but the woods, well that's a whole different thing, fills me with happy chemicals ☺ I doubt it will. Long waiting list, but I'll survive and I appreciate your support 💚
Dandelion coffee is beautiful, it has such a lovely caramel undertone. It is quite some effort to process yerself though 😅 The tortoise gets first dibs on the flowers in the garden anyways. Chicory root is another alternative, also high in inulin, I wasn’t fussed on it though as it wasn’t as smooth, definitely more bitter. I’ve never considered a flower burger as an option before 😃 but you got me intrigued there Matty.. I’ll have to test it out next spring and possibly the syrup also! Awesome video again 🙂
Right? I think it's got such an amazing flavour, and for it to be medicinal too is a massive bonus. Haha yeah I think I'll buy online next time 😂 Hmm I'll have to give Chicory root a shot sometime ☺ I'd recommend it, honestly so much better than you'd expect and you can season with any number of herbs and spices, or syrup like you say 🤤 thank you 🙏
Thank you for the video especially the tiktok one as I have wanted to do something with dandelions for ages but a bit worried to as most recipes are in print format. My small house has a huge garden and every year we get a carpet of dandelions. We do have a dog who oddly only toilets at the farthest perimeter of the garden and seems to be very odd in that she will only walk around the edges of the garden too and not cross where the dandelions grow, so I know they are pure. Plus I do not believe in using chemicals on my garden either that are harmful to wildlife and my dog. I love honey so shall be making the dandelion honey asap.
Amazing, sounds like you'll be making all sorts of tasty goodness with your dandelions then 😁 Such a misunderstood plant with incredible health benefits, enjoy ☺♥
They've actually found that bees prefer almost any other flower to the dandelion, dandelions lack vital amino acids and nutrients that bees need. So they only go for dandelions when that's all there is. The willow trees are buzzing with activity at the moment and I genuinely didn't see a single bee near the dandelions the entire time I foraged. Plus there are 10s of thousands throughout the fields around so me taking ~50 has had no impact. Bees do need protecting however, I agree with you there.
Oh common Buddahbob Are you serious? I agree dont spray them to kill them -but really? Dont you think using dandillions for healthy recipes is better than big pharma?
I was in the field for almost two hours and didn't see one. Went past the willow, primrose, violets and wood sorrel and they were all over the place ☺ in very early spring the bees need everything they can get but we've got so many trees and flowers in full swing now a few dandelions won't go a miss 😁 🌸
Great video Matty. So very proud of you, the way you are living and sharing ❤️ xxx
Thank you 😁 love you lots ♥ xXx

Look forward to the next one 🙂
Thank you mate, hope you learned something from it ☺ Looking forward to setting off and bringing new scenery and wilderness 😁

Belated birthday blessings to you and Amazing info matty! I'm gonna go foraging for dandelions and try a burger and a coffee. Cheers 😊❤

Loved your video, you made me hungry watching you make the dandelion burger ❤ definitely a new subscriber.
Aww thank you for subscribing, it's massively appreciated! You'll have to give it a shot, I highly rate it 😋
Learnt so much in 30 minutes! thanks for sharing and can't wait to try.
I'm glad you took some knowledge from my video ☺ Happy foraging. Be sure to collect from places that are free from pollutants 🙏
Really interesting and very informative ❤
Aww thank you 😁 glad you found it interesting, dandelions are really underrated!
Great video Matty, you are very talented ❤
Thank you ♥ ♥ ♥
Love dandelions. Goldfinches eat the seeds.
I didn't know that, that's adorable 😁 thanks for sharing! 🐦 🌸
@@TheWoodlandNomad aye I just saw a goldfinch on the seed heads in our garden this spring and googled to check.
Well done Matt ❤
Thank you mate, appreciate it 🙏
Thanks for all the info!
You're welcome, thank you for watching and commenting 🥰
I grow 2 kinds of dandelion on my homestead
Do you have the Spanish dandelion / false dandelion? It has thin stems that aren't hollow, often has multiple flower heads per stem too ☺
Hope your Birthday was a good one mine was on 14th
The sound of river so soothing
