Mate these month by month videos are invaluable. It's not only a great, if melancholic or nostalgic, look at the passing months and seasons. But an in depth and informative review of them. I only wish I had a quarter of the available "produce" accessible to me 😂 cheers though and look forward to your next videos on recipes and ingredients for each and everyone...😜😂
Love the taste of sea buckthorn. I have an old recipe for elderflower milk and it also says to make elder pancakes by dipping flower heads in batter and serve with sugar .
I remember around this time every summer during the school holidays, my mum used to make elderberry wine. Her hands were stained after picking off all the berries. The berries only had boiling water poured over them to kill off any unwanted bacteria, they weren't cooked. A couple of glasses of elderberry wine had everyone merry. I do remember being very ill after drinking a whole bottle once though!
Recently found your channel. I'm a Forest school leader and really appreciate this level of knowledge, also the gentle pace and thorough look at each plant. The Wild Food series by Ray Mears and Gordon Hillman is in a class of its own and something I often refer to.
I have just found your site. Wonderful. I spent a decade in West Africa and foraged as a natural day to day, season to season addition to the cooking pot. Here in Scotland I am a newbie forager. Stay safe everyone.
Thanks for the video, I know all of them, I’m learning 🥳 I made Sea Buckthorn sweet chilli sauce last year, that was nice and will keep in the fridge 😊
Thanks 😊. I have done a few smaller foraging sessions with people. But between work and filming I don’t have much time at the moment. I will in the future though as I want to do it full time eventually
Thank you for the link to the difference between sloe, bullace and damson vid as I will find this useful, I have an allotment and have 4 Blackthorn bushes, for the sloes, I also have a gifted plumb tree from a fellow allotmenteer who has multiple plumb tres, so it will be interesting to see the difference between the fruits, I also tried to grow 2 sea buckthorn bushes but they died off, unfortunately, I never managed a harvest from them
Hello.. Can I take part of your video for my video. I tell people about different bites and your video will help people. I'll tag you in the description of the video.. Can I use bro. ???
I’m from Bristol but live in South Wales at the moment. There is fairly good foraging in Bristol but I mainly heaD for the Severn estuary, it’s one of the most productive areas in the uk 😁
@@UKWILDCRAFTS Thank you for your reply and I wonder if your area of living has watermeal (Wolffia arrhiza) or water pepper (Persicaria hydropiper) and if they are present there, could you make a video about them.
It's only in recent years I've been hearing and reading that elderberries can't be eaten raw. I would eat handfulls of them off the tree when i was younger.
Not handfuls, cos I knew of their toxicity, but I eat a few here and there on my walks. No harm whatsoever. I knew that for a fact from my granny. As long as the stem is removed. My daughter was maybe 4 or 5 when I first tried her with them too. She's now 14 so 🤷🏻♂️
Shit I've just been eating elderberries strai off the tree last year. I didn't notice any poisoning effects fortunately and they did taste delicious, but will cook them this year
Depends on how long you’ve been foraging and you’re ability really. I definitely wouldn’t recommend to anyone in their first few years of foraging. But once you can comfortably identify the deadly ones like hemlock and hemlock water dropwort from the edible ones then it’s all good. Otherwise you’d be missing out on some amazing and common plants like common hogweed, fennel and Alexanders

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed sharing the year with you so far. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
He's ace! 😊
Thanks glad you’re enjoying them 😁

Thanks mate. And yeah that will be next year hopefully I’ll be doing a lot of videos of making meals from the ingredients in the wild

Ah lovely elderberry wine is delicious. I believe fermentation has the same effect on the toxins as cooking
As usual, very informative, thank you.
Thanks 😊
Thank you taking us with you , really appreciate your knowledgeable explanation 👍
That’s great thank you 😊
Learning every video, as always thanks for making these videos.
Thanks glad they are helping 😁
I was so sad when this episode ended! Bring on 3/3!
Thanks 😊. Should be in next few days hopefully

Thanks that’s great 😁. And yes I’ve probably watched that series 5 times

Thankyou for sharing. I get Elderberries every Year, but haven't seen any Damsons about. Sadly. Love Damson Jam. 👍
Take care everyone. ❤🙂🐶
Hopefully you’ll find some. It’s one of my favourite jams
@@UKWILDCRAFTS I hope I do. 👍🤗❤️🙂🐶
Thanks a million for great information as usual. All the best.
Thanks 😊
Recently started watching your videos! Just what I wanted to see 🙏🍂🍄💖
Thanks Tara 😁
I love your videos and have just shared your channel as it is great.
Thanks John much appreciated 😁
Thanks for the video, I know all of them, I’m learning 🥳 I made Sea Buckthorn sweet chilli sauce last year, that was nice and will keep in the fridge 😊
Great video again.
Do you or would you consider forage days?
I think it would be a huge success!
Thanks 😊. I have done a few smaller foraging sessions with people. But between work and filming I don’t have much time at the moment. I will in the future though as I want to do it full time eventually

I have an allotment and have 4 Blackthorn bushes, for the sloes,
I also have a gifted plumb tree from a fellow allotmenteer who has multiple plumb tres,
so it will be interesting to see the difference between the fruits,

Nice that’s a lot of sloes. Can make a lot of sloe gin 😁
@@UKWILDCRAFTS that's the idea of them, they will make an easy xmas present for some friends or family 😛
Ah yes great. I like making hampers for Christmas with things like sloe gin, jams etc
Hello.. Can I take part of your video for my video. I tell people about different bites and your video will help people. I'll tag you in the description of the video.. Can I use bro. ???
Hi yeah that’s fine as long as you tag 👍
@@UKWILDCRAFTS thank you bro
Thank you so much 🌻
You’re welcome 😊
I love sea buckthorn i squash it all up and add it to gin to give a nice citrusy orange taste
That’s a great idea! I love sea buckthorn and I love gin haha. Never thought of combining the two. Thanks 😊
@@UKWILDCRAFTS anytime matey
Yummy 🤤
Another great video as always. I wish you'd write a book sectioned into seasons it would be a very good read!
The John Wright Forager's calendar is very good.
@@Suzitao thanks ill have a look into that!
One day 😁. I’ve started working on it already but between work and filming I don’t have much time for it. It’s definitely on my to do list though
And yes the foragers calendar is a very good book
@@UKWILDCRAFTS that's great to hear, I look forward to it becoming available!
You live in Bristol, right? because I'm amazed that there seems to be so many wild plants to forage there.

@@MarcoNegrisEye I'm guessing you would have to eat loads all the time to really feel bad.
Hi yeah I think it’s more toxic over time if you consume a lot of them raw. I definitely nibble on a few of them
👍🏼✌️🌅
Shit I've just been eating elderberries strai off the tree last year. I didn't notice any poisoning effects fortunately and they did taste delicious, but will cook them this year
I wouldn’t worry too much. They are mildly toxic, so not recommended to be eaten but shouldn’t make you ill in small amounts
:-)
I really wouldn't recommend foraging anything from the carrot family, one mis ID and you're dead
