Here in north east Scotland there are barely any buds on the trees yet,nice to see greenery again!
I saw a bee and 2 ladybirds today. There's blossom on trees, and daffodils and dandelions are out here in Yorkshire ❤
Heard then saw a bee up here in fraserburgh 😊
It'd be great if you did a course on the Yorkshire coast. Thanks for this info. I have your book too but the videos are a helpful back up.
Hi there, Sheeps Sorrel looks like
Leprechaun hat🎩😉
Such a fresh tasting plant👍🏾
I use to eat it as a snack when I was a child. It used to grow at the end of my grandma's garden
I think this is the plant my Dad called soorocks.
yup that's an old Scottish name for the sorrels :)
I absolutely love the sour taste of sorrel, but it can be a bit much in a salad - will be keeping an eye out for this!
On my grand parents old farm we had small river and masses of sheeps Sorel we would use the sorel to stuff the cavity of trout and cook outdoor. (In hay, foil or just baked over coals)
sounds lovely :)
Hello :) I wonder if you could give any insight into the legalities of foraging in graveyards/churchyards in the uk? Do you need permission, and from whom?
We've asked lots of vergers and wardens around the country and none have ever had a problem with it. If you see one it is polite to ask but obviously only pick from wild varieties and not from the graves!
Side note: Isn't it odd how common it is to find Yew trees in graveyards?
Yes and sometimes older than the church.
Not so much! Yew was seen as sacred to druids and other practices, symbolising death and rebirth amongst other things. Lots of areas that were of significance to older religions got incorporated into the later Christianity when it arrived and people converted, keeping some of their previous traditions and practices and beliefs intertwined with the new ones.
It's also a poisonous tree - the leaves and needles are poisonous, so animals tend to steer clear, making it less likely animals will try to go digging in graveyards where yew is growing - it's a handy tree to have guarding the graves in that way 😊
Not that odd. Yew trees have symbolic significance in christian belief as the tree of rebirth/resurrection. And also in pagan beliefs it was an important tree.
Churches were often build on former pagan places of worship. Trees remained and got a new symbolic narrative.
Also, yews are pretty toxic and graveyards/churchyards are often walled/fenced of. It's a safe place to let them grow if a bird pooped a seed there, because cattle can't just wander over and kill themselves by eating it.
Yews that grew in grazing areas were probably all removed for safety reasons.
There's also a story of yews being grown on graveyards because the dead bodies released nutrients that made the yews grow very quick, which made it possible to harvest yew wood for long bows quicker.
