    I didn’t know it was an edible.. It smells great when you walk on it.. I accidentally brought it from my parents house and it has invaded my garden spot and I am constantly having to weed it out of my beds. Glad it has a use. Thanks.

      Yes, it grows quite prolifically and does indeed smell very good!

    Met ground ivy today and fell in love. Subbed.

    I was about to go to war on my yard but I had a feeling there was something I could use it for. Interesting to know you can eat raw. I’ve just been drying out and burning to get rid of it but i’ll keep it around now. I have plantains, mullein, ground ivy and maybe a couple more medicinal herbs in the yard now. Some came from bird droppings like grape hyacinth and mulberry trees so this ground ivy just got added to my keeper list!

    For seasonal allergies try to increase consumption of fermented foods. This will help bolster your immune system as allergies are autoimmune issues. This really has worked for me. I have had allergies from January until June, but not since I started eating a lot of ferments through this season. I hope this helps you too.

    It would be helpful if you mention when was the best time to harvest plants as well.

      I'll be sure to keep that in mind in future videos. Thanks for the feedback!

      I find it’s more fragrant during spring also early summer is when it flowers.

    You can find them in Japan too. 🇯🇵 I’m trying to grow some now. ☺️

    You mention some studies on its effectiveness. I know this video is from a while ago, but do you remember which studies you referenced? I don't see them in the description or at the end.

    • @FeralForaging
      @FeralForaging  2 года назад

      I’m afraid I don’t. I wasn’t as diligent with my research back then. A Google scholar search for Glechoma hederacea should find them!

    It looks similar to garlic mustard in the leaf pattern.

    • @FeralForaging

      Agreed. Luckily that invasive hasn't made it too strongly to North Alabama yet.

      ​@Feral Foraging Give it about 5 minutes. Where I live in Michigan, it spreads like a cancer.

      Yes, I always like to dry this one first for tea.

      Set it on a screen and put a fan under it and it will dry really fast
