Another gorgeous video. The information in your content twinned with the visual therapy is exactly what i need on a gloomy monday at the desk :)
Thank you, great video. 👍🏻
That look you gave at 4:22 xD
Cracked me up!
Great video as always!
Its a good job most of us live too far away from a hedgerow or there wouldnt be anything left for the wildlife that relies on these plants. From everything ive seen or read hedgerow foods are really little more than toppings and trimmings. We used to pick hedgerow blackberries regularly along with a few other families back in the 1950s but really the fruits were small and mostly tart. Occasionally our dad would find us a bigger sweeter one to eat straight away. But back home our poor mum had the job of cleaning and hulling before cooking and adding sugar. No wonder she had varicose veins the hours she spent standing in the kitchen, the wash house or sitting at the sewing machine.
Excellent information, thanks
Just catching up on all your videos Joe as I have been in Australia for the last month. I had to go back unexpectedly as my Mum passed away.
So sorry to hear about you catching Lyme's disease and glad you are on the mend. I look forward to being at this weeks live foraging. X
Oh Jo, sorry to hear that 😞 I hope you’re doing alright (or as alright as you can be). I’ll be back with a live foraging walk next week
Excellent video. On the hogweed as it can cause some photosensitive to individuals does consuming the seeds may cause this too. Look forward to your thoughts on this.
👍
How did you do that magic trick making string? Do you have a tutorial video?
Haha no but I am making a tutorial video soon, including the identification of good plants to use. Watch this space!
Hogweed is something to be avoided in the United States, is this a different plant??
The hogweed you’re referring to is probably Giant Hogweed, which is a different species and is phototoxic so to be avoided. That being said I am not an expert in the flora of the US so I’d consult a local plant guide. Hope you’re having a great day 😀
