Really hope you'll be adding on to each subsequent month as a continuation of this series so we'll be getting a March 'Part IV' next! Brilliant work dude and the best UK foraging series on RUclips!
Great thank you 😊. Yes I’ll be adding more videos to most months in the future. I’ll be focusing on other videos for the next few years though as I’ll be travelling
I’ll be doing the UK this year. First the wales coast path then I’ll probably head to the north east England and maybe Scotland. Then next year I plan to do a bit of inter railing and exploring around Europe, especially Scandinavia. Also want to explore around Ireland at some point :)
That was a year of top class information, Lewis, it's like having an online foraging course given to us for free. The way you teach us about what's available out there in our native woodlands and shorelines is always excellent and there's never any added gimmicks and egotrips along the way either :) . The good ol' drone footage ain't half-bad too :) . Thanks for everything, mate, it's very much appreciated.
You made it, one full year. I'm really grateful for all the time and effort you have put into this. Without doubt the best foraging series on you tube. It was a little sad to get to the end, but as long as it stays on you tube I'll be returning every month again. I've filled a note book on your series, THANK YOU so much.
This series has been a great inspiration for my foraging and wild foods venture. Still look forward to more videos in the future as I continue to expand!🪴👍
It was exciting to find a new forage plant today - Thyme leaved sandwort. Like you said, if you keep your eyes open and get closer to the ground, there can be so much to see and learn even in Feburary! Deadnettles (lamium) along with wild garlic (allium vineale), chickweed, and some brassicas have been common forages here in Missouri for this month.
Thank you Lewis I think your videos are the best on you tube the way you explain things is top notch and looking forward to the new season with more of your fantastic vids for us all to enjoy ....Thanks again 👍👍👍
I loved these series. I watched it in a few days. And I took notes off all of it, into a notebook. When I am out foraging I take the notebook with me. And the book food for free. Thank you for the work you put into these series. I will follow along.
I've not tried scarlet elf cups but this is the second mention of eating them I've seen in the last couple of days. I have always wanted to try ground elder.
Thanks Lewis, I’ve watched the complete series but never commented before. I’ve found your guides very informative, well photographed and presented. Useful on local walks here in Buckinghamshire . You mentioned in a comment that you’ll be off overseas fairly soon, so I’ll wish you safe and enjoyable travelling.
Thank you so much ! Really appreciate your videos : easy to distinguish the plants and mushrooms and where they grow, harvesting precautions, how to eat them, ...(sorry for my english, I'm french).
Brilliant series mate,, professionally explained and very knowledgeable.. Thanks for taking the time to make these vids.. We look forward to more from you in the future..👍🏻👍🏻
@@UKWILDCRAFTS that's great to hear! Looking forward to it. Please announce it beforehand and if you do any courses or events for locals, I'd be very interested:)
What a magnificent series! Thank you. Best foraging videos I’ve ever seen. I wish that a similar sequence existed for the various climate zones in Australia.
Thoroughly enjoyed these videos and taking my son out to learn foraging with me. Your knowledge is priceless and we can't thank you enough for sharing. Look forward to more content from you.
Thanks for your fantastic knowledge Lewis, cant wait for spring to see some more wild edibles, you'll be putting the supermarkets out of business soon.
Thank you very very much for your kindness and generosity, teaching people about this!! You are helping everyone by sharing this information and knowledge!! I've been a keen forager from as long as I can remember... But, It's great to be reminded of some of the essential stuff!! I'm still learning a lot more from you, (*and others), I would be a fool to think that I know everything!! Lovely to see the ground elder is up, it's one of my absolute favorites!! **If any Gardener's, in Carlisle UK Have a problem with this one, please let me know, ~ I'd be overjoyed to help you out by thinning it for you Frequently!! Lol!! Namasté 🙏 Andréa and Critters. ...XxX.... Ps, I'm wondering if you would be able to do a bit more of a "deep dive" into the history of the many wonderful edibles we have growing in the UK?! *I am wondering why the ground elder fell out of favour,,, also I think that the Romans brought it here?! (Of course, -I could be wrong?!)
Thanks Andrea yes I’m the same, been foraging for many years but I’m always still learning and will never know it all 😁 Yes it’s thought that it was bought over by the Romans like many plants, like Alexanders. Either for themselves or feed for their horses
Thank you so much!! I have learned such a lot from your videos. Your knowledge and skill in communicating details is fantastic. Not to mention your amazing close up videos. 🙂
Love your videos thank you. Hairy bitter cress is yummy. When I weed it out of my pots, the seeds hit you in the face 🤣 I spotted 3CL last year by its flower, so will pop by this week and harvest some. Thanks for your time, effort and knowledge Lewis making this series all year 😀
Love your content, have you ever consider producing a book, APP or even a downloadable PDF? An A5 size book would be more suitable as one could have it out in the field unlike the others if SHTF! I understand the time & work involved but your reward would be well worth it!
Do like the monthly vids, please consider doing them again. I've got lots of bittercress, some red nettle is coming back. I'll look for the thin stemmed wild garlic. Have the thick type, the ones that make those lovely scapes. Some clovis is coming back. I cannot remember what to do with them. Please remind me. Hello from Corvallis, Oregon US.
Thank you so much for creating this series! It's helped me so much when I've begun branching out from mushrooms to wild plants, and I'll definitely keep referring back during the year to learn more.
Thanks 😁. The foragers calendar by John Wright is good for the monthly format. Doesn’t go into too much detail about preparation though. I’m working on a foraging guidebook should be out sometime next year 😁
@@UKWILDCRAFTS I did find a few elf cups today and some surprisingly early wild garlic. I think I'll see if I can find some ground elder and three cornered leeks over the next week. Thanks for another great video 💖
My go to soporific is linden/ lime tree flower. I think I included it in a video about herbal teas. Around early summer I collect and dry enough of the flowers to make tea for the year. That mixed with pineapple weed made into a tea and drank half hour before bed puts me straight to sleep :)
Really truly enjoy watching your insightful videos! I’m going out today to see what we have in our area of Japan :) I know we have the jelly ear mushrooms!

Great thank you 😊. Yes I’ll be adding more videos to most months in the future. I’ll be focusing on other videos for the next few years though as I’ll be travelling
"Foraging in [location]" is also going to be a great series, excited for the future of this channel!
@@UKWILDCRAFTS where will you be traveling? Will it be in UK only? If so I’m in east Devon

Thanks 😁
aww sad this is the last episode of the foraging calendar but excited to see what you post next
Yes lots of videos planned :)
I'm so glad that you included a warning about the possibility of the plants having been treated with chemicals!
I've not tried scarlet elf cups but this is the second mention of eating them I've seen in the last couple of days.
I have always wanted to try ground elder.
Brilliant series - so informative- thank you 😊
Thanks I appreciate that 😁
Very interesting,well explained 💯👍

Really enjoy your videos as quite new to foraging. Looking forward to seeing your new videos this year.

Thank you loads for this series - you've offered some of the most useful information one could learn!
Thank you 😊
Awesome video! Big fan of foraging the three corned leek, it has been in many spring salads ^-^
Thanks. Yes I love it too, lovely taste of spring 😋
You have the best channel on this topic! Come to the Netherlands and please do an episode here:)
Dank je wel! I will come to the Netherlands for a trip and to film one day for sure. I love it there, I used to live in Noordwijk many years ago :)
@@UKWILDCRAFTS that's great to hear! Looking forward to it. Please announce it beforehand and if you do any courses or events for locals, I'd be very interested:)
Thankyou so much for your year of foraging the UK, i have really enjoyed all your knowledge and visual content.
Thanks Christina :)
Great video, Thanks!
Thanks 😁
😀 Great series, just to echo the thoughts of folks below - it's so helpful to share you knowledge on an open platform. thank you.
I look forward to watching your videos 😊
Thanks Anna 😁
Great video!!! Thank you
What a magnificent series! Thank you. Best foraging videos I’ve ever seen. I wish that a similar sequence existed for the various climate zones in Australia.
Looking forward to the additions, learned a lot this year, much appreciated 🙏🏻
These videos are brilliant! So clear, concise and straight to the point. Very inspiring! 🙏 Thank you!

Thoroughly enjoyed these videos and taking my son out to learn foraging with me. Your knowledge is priceless and we can't thank you enough for sharing. Look forward to more content from you.
Love it thank you, and great skills for your son to learn 😁
Another great video, thanks for doing them. Looking forward to seeing your Wye valley exploring video when it's ready. (think I remembered correctly)
Thanks 😊. It’s the wales coast path I’m doing from next month. So lots of coastal foraging
It's Scallions in Ireland.
So many Americans have family in Ireland that it's easy to see why they call them Scallions also.
Great video thanks.
Ah I didn’t know it’s an Irish word. Thanks 😊
Great stuff keep it up
Thanks 😊
Outstanding!!!!
Thanks 😁
Thanks for your fantastic knowledge Lewis, cant wait for spring to see some more wild edibles, you'll be putting the supermarkets out of business soon.

👍 Mandy in Devon

♥️🌏⭐💚
Thanks
🙊🙈🙉
An amazing series thank you 😊 🙏
Thanks 😊
Love your content, have you ever consider producing a book, APP or even a downloadable PDF?
An A5 size book would be more suitable as one could have it out in the field unlike the others if SHTF!
I understand the time & work involved but your reward would be well worth it!
It’s on my to do list, a foraging guide book. But will be a long time yet as I’ll be travelling now for a few years. I’ll still be filming though :)
@@UKWILDCRAFTS sounds good. Will you be travelling overseas too?
@@QwinnieLu56 yes next year. This year I’ll be around the UK and next year I’m thinking of inter railing around Europe
Lovely stuff.
Thanks 😊
Thank you for this good and useful video.
Thanks Carol :)
Glad to hear you'll be carrying on with this even though you've come full-circle. Thanks for all your great work & God bless! :)
Thanks 😊
It’s fascinating how this knowledge is passed down.
Do like the monthly vids, please consider doing them again. I've got lots of bittercress, some red nettle is coming back. I'll look for the thin stemmed wild garlic. Have the thick type, the ones that make those lovely scapes. Some clovis is coming back. I cannot remember what to do with them. Please remind me. Hello from Corvallis, Oregon US.
Thanks I’ve got plans for a few more this year 😁
Sorry I'm late, 🙃I appreciate your effort and look forward to finding these on my next walk.
Thanks 😁
Excellent video love them.keep up the great work
Thanks Paul :)
this is my favourite channel!

Nice video again! I found some velvet shanks in my local woods today, not very much unfortunately - also dandelion leaves just starting to appear
You the best man

Cheers mate 😁
Thanks a lot. As always great.
Thank you I appreciate it 😁
Amazing videos, keep em coming 👍

Well done.

great video
Thanks 😊
My garden is packed full of HIry buttercress so I might add to my diet from now on😁.
You should it’s a great little herb :)
Love the vid, thanks
Thanks Daniel
Thanks great videos.
Cheers :)
Love the format. Can you recommend a book that does month by month what to find, where and how to prepare please
Thanks 😁. The foragers calendar by John Wright is good for the monthly format. Doesn’t go into too much detail about preparation though. I’m working on a foraging guidebook should be out sometime next year 😁
Thanks, ordered. Looking forward to your guide.
You are the best

I sometimes think I've spotted an elf cup only to find it's a coke bottle top when I get closer! 😂
Yes I get that too 😆
@@UKWILDCRAFTS I did find a few elf cups today and some surprisingly early wild garlic. I think I'll see if I can find some ground elder and three cornered leeks over the next week. Thanks for another great video 💖
Thanks again that crow garlic looks like a easy one I may try to find next thanks! Edit: Do you know any plants that help as a sleeping aid?
My go to soporific is linden/ lime tree flower. I think I included it in a video about herbal teas. Around early summer I collect and dry enough of the flowers to make tea for the year. That mixed with pineapple weed made into a tea and drank half hour before bed puts me straight to sleep :)

Great. Thank you 😊
My garden is absolutely full of three cornered leak! Searching for recipes, maybe a soup, or in a chicken and ham pie?
Yes pretty much anything you’d use leeks for 😁
❤
Great videos: really helpful for identification. Keep them coming. Do you do courses?
Thanks 😁. I do take a few small groups out occasionally but I haven’t set up proper courses yet. One day though
