    Love your video's. I have learned a lot from your video's. Me and my wife are building our new house on my grandparents land that was passed on to me. We are homesteading it as best we can

    I love wood sorrel and so do my chickens. When I was a young girl my sister and I would call the seed pods little green bananas. lol We both loved eating those little green bananas and still do. Although now I will share them with my chickens.

    we called it sour grass as a kid in the 60/70s, pretty sour, never knew the real name for it

    Thanks for taking some time to do this vid. People need to become familiar with wilds; knowledge that used to be common but now is rare. A lot got lost between the last 2 or 3 generations, and if we don't really try to regrasp it, we will be in real rough shape when life gets real.

    I love Wood Sorrel & Sheep Sorrel. To me the Sheep Sorrel has more of a lemony taste ..They are both delicious raw or like you said to make a tea with. I dehydrate a lot of both, stems & all , seal them up in Mason jars to make teas, smoothies & tinctures in the Winter months.
    It is sooooo good to see you !!!

  • @anthonywalker7507

    Been missing Jnull videos. I have watched you fishing though. Gotta get your dose of the bug guy one channel or the other! LOL Love me some wood sorrel. We used to eat it when I was a kid at my granny’s. You’re right it does taste like a green apple. That’s a good description. TFS God Bless you and the family. ~Lisa

    @lisajoy9588 2 года назад

    I love this stuff! I’m so glad you did a video on this! I didn’t know what it’s real name was. We always called it “Sour Grass” as kids. You are absolutely right, it tastes like a tart apple, like a Granny Smith.

    John, I found some in the back yard. Our version seems quite a bit smaller than what you have there, but regardless, it really is tasty! It has a citrus taste to me. Hopefully not because the dog peed on it!🤣
