Great vid I went foraging for the first time today and found both of these.

p.p. John Feehan: Don't forget to be cautious with these umbellifers as they can be mistaken for other poisonous umbellifers.

Most interesting, reminds of the book The Good People

[@christiaan83]

p.p. John Feehan: Not familiar with that book Martin, who is the author?

Love Cow Parsley, really would love to introduce it to my garden, probably settle for Yarrow(Achillea).

p.p. John Feehan: Not often seen in gardens John, it's too tall for the average border.

Hahaha. Brilliant as usual. So, clearly to Elizabethan theatre goers and the native Irish speakers, the only people who should be eating Pignuts are creepy little monsters (and John for demonstration proposes).

p.p. John Feehan: Worth stooping to their level Canice to savour that wonderful nutty taste!
