This is EXACTLY the type of video , real time now lol I have been trying to collect pictures Everytime I go out and post this is what it looks like today and the date I used to have lots of plants ( herbs /medicinals etc ) around a home we brought our kids up in do when we'd go out I could show them this is what they look like TODAY you're looking for them in this state today. It helps
I'm glad this is helpful for you! Knowing what the plants look like as they progress is a great thing to teach and something I tell others in the classes I teach. Sometimes it's difficult to know what can be foraged at any given time so I'm glad I started making these videos.
In our area Day Lily flowers contain oxalate, so they do need to be cooked. Eating them raw produces throat irritation. In our area (the Ozark mountains of northern Arkansas) "Mountain Mint" is an erect plant with fairly long narrow serrated leaves. The top tier of leaves are frosty white, turning green as they mature. It is a good strong mint.
Yeah there's a lot of mountain mints and originally I wasn't going to specify which one exactly but thought it would be better to do so. Thanks for commenting, it's always nice seeing you around!
Thank You ! I have several wild carrots in my garden I'm going to try your recipes I'm drying my mullein leaves now I've been drinking this as a tea for awhile good to know too much is too much.
You're very welcome and I think you'll enjoy the Carrot stems and flowers. They're much better than the root. I even like to throw a few leaves in a salad because they taste so good.
So very informative. Wood sorrel is one of my favorite things. Never ever thought about too much oxalic acid. I think I'd better do some homework to see if there are guidelines for safety. (But honestly, is grocery store produce any better for us?) Thank you, Josh, for some more great advice and knowledge.
You're very welcome! Some domestic crops like spinach for example contains oxalates as well just in smaller quantities so the risk is much lower than wood Sorrel. However like anything really there's a limit to how much we can handle and I think you'd have to eat a lot of wood Sorrel everyday to see any issues if your kidneys are healthy. Though some people are more prone to kidney stones than others so I wanted to mention it.
Oh yeah! I didn't cover blackberries because I wanted to focus on things not so common. Poke in my area is starting to produce berries so I strayed from that. Thanks for commenting!
Goldenrod is doing well this year as it's everywhere in my yard. I'll probably cover Goldenrod uses or something in a future video as I've already done identification video but not much h else.
@TrilliumWildEdibles cool I've done a purple dead nettle tinture (1st ever🤗🤗 im so excited). I just strained it back in the jars I started it it in til I get dropper bottles 🤷♀️🤷♀️ but I think I can do the tinture thing better cause it don't take much to do 😊😊
OK, rubbing those dock seeds between your hands…..I don’t know how you do that without tearing your hands to shreds, those seed cases are sharp,and hard! I would welcome more info on this though as I would really like to be able to use the prolific seed output of docks.
I have rather tough skin and lots of light scar tissue on my hands from years of skateboarding as a youngin so that's probably why it doesn't bother me. I have a video on my channel about making flour from the seeds. It can be found here: ruclips.net/video/2imYdxYUJ3o/видео.htmlsi=ofdy5KpVds61esE0
Same my ex has a crap load of curly dock in the yrd. I got a paper bag to shake the seeds & got a few buuuttttt I think I know what I'm going to do 😊😊😊😊
The seeds are easier to just shuck off. Basically I'll hold stalk with seeds upside down with one hand and take the other hand wrapped around it and run that hand down being sure to lightly squeeze the stem in the process. This gets all the seeds off in seconds. It's shown in the video linked above.
If wood sorrel leads to kidney stones, then you better be careful with just about all other fruits and vegetables you can get at the grocery store because lots of them contain oxalic acid as well.
It's more a matter of amounts really. Not only the fact wood Sorrel has more than a lot of domestic crops but also that how much wood Sorrel one could theoretically eat. However for most people it won't be a problem but others are more prone to kidney stones than others, it was something worth mentioning.

Excellent video, Josh! I have all of those in my yard, except for the mint.
Awesome to hear!
❤ thank you for your content
You're very welcome!
Thank you.
You're very welcome!
I found myself stuck on trail ,very hot day! Yellow wood sorrel was the ticket to relieve my thrust.
Yeah it's a great plant to know because I've had to do that a few times on hot days in the woods. It's always provided a nice reprieve from dry mouth.
LOVE this video!
I'm glad you love it!
2 more to add, blackberries and poke salet, at least in my area.
Oh yeah! I didn't cover blackberries because I wanted to focus on things not so common. Poke in my area is starting to produce berries so I strayed from that. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks! You do an awesome job!
Thank you!
Good informational video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
You're very welcome!
Because day lilies usually grow along side road ways, I would want to eat them due to exhaust fumes.
I seen some golden rod. I've got a crap load of that I'm thinking about thinning it down some

Hey Josh, do u think Dock seeds would make coffee "nutty" when co-brewed? Just thinkin'....
