Most of your foraging will be done in your neighborhood. In this video Green Deane shows us some of his yard then walks around his neighborhood finding wild edibles. (For some unknown reason the screen shots got cut off when uploaded. ) 135 of Green Deane's You Tubes are availble on DVDs: www.eattheweeds...
For crying out loud! I have a gold mine of rare weeds in my yard, and the neighbors don’t know I’m rich.
Now I know you are so rich.
True wealth comes from good health and wise ways. Cry it out loud!
haha
😆
I think soldiers should be educated on this.
They could feed on plants if needed, many of us discard all those out of ignorance.
I love it when you show the magnified images. That's what's really missing from a lot of field guides, and even online resources. You do an awesome Job man, and I really appreciate all your hard work.
Makes me sad when I was a kid and was hungry I went inside to get a snack...I could have been eating in my yard the whole time and saved myself so much time 😂
Lmaoooo
Same here, we starve many times growing up and all along food was in our yard 🤦🏽♀️😅
Yes, this should be taught in every school. A real skill you can use! 😆
@@kerryalbritton6532 Unfortunately, the ruling class long ago realized the less self-reliant we all are the better workers we make for them
Could you please include common names of these plants....most people don't know or understand the botanical names( Latin ).
Thank you this would be most appreciated...
💙💙💙💙
Research and find out for yourself dear heart
@tnnt05 and that's why its handy to know how to pronounce Latin and be interested in the botanical names, if you give me a timestamp i can help you
Common names can be deceptive. People use different common names for the same weed and the same names for wildly different weeds and sometimes they overlap too. Very unreliable.
You will find that different regions call plants different nicknames...so it’s always eat to look up the universal Latin name. That you can find out what it’s called in your region. Plants can look alike and one can be poisonous...too...so please do research.
It would be nice to read the common names as you said 🙄
Thank you for sharing this valuable information. It's wonderful what Nature provides for us all if we just take the time and connect.
I started eating green plants, leaves and tree bark about two years ago and all my medical problems are completely gone.
Leroy Canty Jr. Where do you get tree bark? Does it matter what kind of tree?
Leroy Canty Jr
Ya, what kind of bark? And what problems did you have ? Thanks
All tree bark is edible, just cut a piece off and eat it (I hope you know I'm joking).
Birch is the only one I would eat personally
slippery elm,..i have an elm but never tried the bark thing....you sure don't want to burn elm....it smells like creosote bad,bad
You have nicer weeds in your neighbourhood than I do.
I don't have any. People want 'perfect grass'. And so murder the weeds with weed & people killer pesticides.
Like the way you are a little detail with each edible weed.
Just wish you can put the names on the screen so it’s easier to remember & take notes.
Thanks for the video.
Do You KNOW ABOUT the ULTRAFINE PARTICLES Manmade poisons man SCIENTISTS MAKING POISONS TO KILL LIFE: pesticdes in our RAIN WORLDWIDE? EVERY PLANT ANIMAL INSECTS BIRDS MAN CHILD EARTH/dirt sands OUR AIR is POLLUTED and is making mankind sickly weakly. We need to COVER PROTECT OUR FOODS.
Oh my goodness Mr! If I lived where you are fortunate to be, I'd have my pressure canner and dehydrator working 24/7
What neighborhood is that? The garden of Eden? Starfruits and all these exotic plants and trees growing like nothing.
Orlando suburb
I wish I knew about this guy and his classes when I lived in Florida! What a missed opportunity:-(
Sierra Ergundogdu you can still learn .
My grandfather used to treat hogs for collora using poke weed root. He would boil the root in water. Then strain off the water into a long necked wine bottle. Stick the bottle down the hogs throat to dose him with about 1/4 of the bottle. Even if the hog was down sick and couldn't get up, this would cure the hog of collora. He too would pick the young leaves as greens. Great videos!!!
Traveler1226 Are you meaning Cholera like what nearly kills people or am I misunderstanding? I never want to see it but would like to know of a treatment. My understanding up to now was antibiotics and IV for days until symptoms subside after 3-4 weeks.
Traveler1226 great share. Rugged but worked
Thank you for sharing!
@@johndix1820 This reply is 3 years too late. But the poke root cure is only good for hogs. Which is because of their strong liver which filters out toxins very well. If you tried to treat a human with cholera using poke root it would kill a human.
It's a shame that my association will send us a notice for a cosmetic reason if we keep weeds like this. But it's interesting to see the weeds are edible.
you can uproot and replant in a planter.
Jeff Moody
Yep, with SUPER GOOD HEALTH BENEFITS TOO. That whole dandelion is super edible, including the root. Make a tea out of it, eat it.. You can harvest and dry it out for long shelf life. The taste isnt soo bad.
Jane Lee ugh I hate towns Bc they won't let us grow our lawn either although my "herb garden" is full of weeds now hehehehe
Jane Lee they want you dead !!!you are the weed to them lol...jk,jk
That is pretty clever using the magnifying lens like that! It really makes a difference! 💖
Green Deans foraging trips in Florida are amazing! Cant wait for Sunday’s class is West Palm! Its incredible what you can find and enjoy just around the corner from your own house! Love the videos too!
Polllution is everywhere. That's the hard part to learn and figure out.
Poke is not that poisonous, only the seeds and the purple/red parts are.. In Japan they eat it all summer long and so do I.. I dry it, can it or freeze it.. I batter and fry tender stems and leaves.. I make jelly, pies and pills from the berries.. I have been eating it all of my seventy years.. I have been cooking and serving it to family and friends for fifty five years.. None of us have ever gotten sick from eating it..
Robin Conkel-hAnnan I've eaten this most of my life as well. However I always parboil it. I'd feel really bad if my arrogance at dodging a bullet made someone else sick.
lastdollarfilms
I got tired of parboiling one day and didn't do it.. I was cooking for myself only.. I suffered no ill effects so I'm still not parboiling twenty years later.. Vitamins dissolve in water and when we pour water we waste nutrients.. I really hated the thought of losing those nutrients and wondered how much food value is left..
Most will not suffer ill effect from the leaves but the danger is still there. I have eaten them not parboiled but as a general rule I still try to do it. I see no difference between parboiling and normal cooking or veggies in water and if that were a major thing then canning would ruin food as well.
Funny that you say that. I was foolishly making tea from this plant when I started herbs 6 years ago. I lost a lot of water weight and then I read it was poisonous :)
I appreciate this information. I've been trying to find out for several years about the year round safety of poke and no one seemed to know. I wish I had found this before I asked my question as to the safety of it year round. Thanks, it's much appreciated.
very nice video, .can you suggest a pocket book to carry on the trail with ilastration on all these weeds and also one book about cooking with these weeds
So far I am familiar with everything in this video and I am new to your channel so I would appreciate it in the future if you would give the common name along with the Latin or Greek name of the plants. you do not have your closed captions on so it's hard for me to exactly know what you are saying sometimes, when you say the Latin name so quickly
thistle weeds are common in north America mostly sow thistles wild lettuce and dandelion greens star thistles also prickly lettuce and bitter lettuce.
OH Happy day! So happy to see a video from you.
I live and work on a ranch many miles west of Houston, Texas. After watching most of your vids, I can't help but look everywhere I walk for plants I've seen you talk about. I don't attempt to pick and eat the plants because I don't trust that I remembered all that needs to be remembered about a found plant but it's exciting to search and be aware of the wild foods. The recent rains have awoken many plants from last years drought. Thanks!
...watch out for Round Up sprayed areas, typical circuit neighborhoods where landscape, and lawn maintenance contractors come and take care of the grounds...those chemicals stay in the soil, and water run off for a long time...please be careful.
If there are weeds Round Up has not been used.
@@greendeane1 Green Deane...yeah, I wish, that stuff stays in the soil, and is also airborne into farmers crops and is harvested, and manufactured, packaged, and sold...check out Monsanto Warnings on Cheerios, Oreos, and other food stuffs with carcinogens in it...too bad when the Surgeon Attorney General was fired, the SAG loophole got occupied by the Railroad, OSHA. and DOT, made Haz Mat a private shipping and recieving, and security...by rights every household should have MSDS safety sheets with the chemicals in their garages and under their sinks...geeze, talk about biological warfare, we wouldn't need a poison control hotline, but then again we don't want our first responders and emt's gettin bored on us now,,, bad enough we don't have a proper lock out tag out for automobiles, as well as confined space training...gotta keep the kids well basted in them ovenmobiles while we're shopping, drinking, and gambling...at the same time fillin the dinner plates of accident and injury lawyers,,, then tie up all the courts with divorce, deregulation, and displacement in all these Creton parking lots...and unpaid tickets...yknow ??? - please help and pray on 2nd Chron. 7: 14, so we stand a proper watch,
thanks, peace be with you..
"I'm often asked 'where do i go to the forest for weed?'" well this should be a fun video :)
Great video as always, thank you
In the first neighbors lawn you visit, there is a healthy groundcover of gotu kola (centella asiatica, Asiatic pennywort). The greens are very bitter but are nutritious and are said to enhance brain function
Genesis 1.29. Hebrew: God said, "See, I give you every seed-bearing plant that is upon all the earth and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit; they shall be yours for food.
Plenty of seed bearing plants and fruit that are either inedible or actually poisonous. So very far from "every" being ours for food. Really best not to rely on religious texts for science.
Outstanding!!! So glad i found you and subscribed!! I've been looking for a FL. Specific field guide to edibles in our yards and off the beaten track. In times like these those with proper Intel may have to resort to grazing in their back yards instead of paying Boo Coo! $$ for traditional greens, veggies and fruit . Wish you had a paper back field guide with great color photos for us old school guys/gals!! I plan on Binge watching this weekend!! Oooh Raah !! Thank You Sir!!
My book, written in 2020, is supposed to be available in a year.
Thank you for the wonderful knowledge to expand our minds. We all can always enjoy gaining useful knowledge that our bodies can enjoy. Now that it is getting warmer here in central Ohio I can go outside or take a stroll in our local state park to explore and forage tasty wild healthy eats for lunch. That is always the best part of Spring. Thanks again for such knowledgeable experience of joyful new beginnings.
could you develop more about the medicinal part of the plants???.
Really want to see how u cooks them too
I eat a lot of chickweed but mostly as a juice. Chickweed covers the soil in my garden every spring, uninvited, and now that I have embraced it I see it is a gift and not the bane I believed it was before. lol I find the best chickweed grows in the shadow of something else. the leaves are larger, juicier and softer if grown in a shadow of spring greens and cabbages etc. I add a large handful to my juicing mix of greens (it would amount to a cup) or added to a salad mix.
I'm familiar with most of these wild edibles; however, you failed to mention on a majority of them which parts are actually edible. For instance on the pepper you failed to mention if the leaves/stem/roots are edible when introducing the plant until wayyyy later on. And I certainly would clarify what is and isn't edible on the nightshade plant and how to properly prepare it; I wouldn't advise any one eat it because it WILL kill someone.
I know the seeds are as I've eaten them before. Otherwise a nice, information video. Thank you for sharing.
On my video about the pepper specifically I do mention that. Also my article go into great depth. This video was more a wander than a descriptive production.
All right then, if it’s green eat it because it’s good for you 👏
dandelions are very high in nutrition but they taste very bitter. a way Koreans use to cook mindeullae (the korean name for it) is by marinating it in soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and Dried Korean chili powder. it will still be a bit more bitter but it's still very good and is one of my favorite dishes to eat with rice.
Dandelion leaves are less bitter on younger plants. They make a great addition to salad greens. Dandelions that have flowered will be more bitter and when the flowers go to seed the leaves are at their bitterest. When they are too bitter for salads, they can be sauteed with other vegetables or tossed into soup.
Cactus are native to 46 of the United States (and yes it is native to Alaska.) You will have to read my article to find out which states catus are not native to. Locally my cactus blooms a couple of times a year.
Such a wonderful show I don't know if you know this but it's very bizarre that there is a Roundup commercial on your video and that seems quite counterproductive
Very interesting! I have been very curious about the weeds growing around my house! I can identify chickweed and very excited to try it! Thank you! I can't wait to check out more of your videos!
Learned a lot, thanks.
This is insanely stupid...that this video is not shown in every school on the earth... *but we all know why it's not, dont we?*
Actually it is worse than that. If a teacher wants me to come to a class to talk about wild edibles it will be blocked as it is considered dangerous information ...and... opening the school to a law suit.
If a Zombie-Apocalypse would happen, you would be the last to get hungry!!!
+tobymachouby re-watch the video, you wont starve, either.lol
these weeds carry a lot of nutrients but not enough calories to survive on these alone. In addition to green weeds you'd need lots of starchy tubers, legumes / pulses or meat to get enough calories not to starve :)
I have HUGE amounts of those peppery plants in my backyard
I envy you.

I don't make a habit of foraging for plants but do have a garden and fruit trees. Most plants leaves will change color when they stop using chlorophyll to process most of the light and begin using mostly xanthophyll. Chlorophyll gives the leaves the green color and the xanthophyll is more yellow. Reds, purples, and even sometimes blues are caused by anthocyanin.
also some plant's leaves will turn purplish or reddish when the plant is deprived of certain nutrients (eg phosphorus).
Star fruit... you must live somewhere warm... Florida, that makes sense! Thanks for the videos!
@Snowflake70 That star fruit is about 50 miles north of its commercial range. My back yard is somewhat protected and the tree is 12 years old now so it can take some cold weather.
Go to my website and search for "purslane" In the search results you will find Purslane: Omega Fatty Weed. Click on it and it will take you to a huge article on purslane.
@Prepare2Survive I usually do when I do just a few but this time I didn't. Sorry. Go to my website, eattheweeds and type in Pellitory in the search window.
@TroddinSod I thought that was a given. Besides, many of those plants are found around the world, and certainly in North America.
Great video Green Deane! Love your vids!
@blanklabel1234567890 I would not eat them that way. Yes they still have some benefit. Not every nutriment is water soluble.
Wow!! I knew God provided all we need in all the various plants and trees!😊 He is sooooo AWESOME! 😘
AMEN
In genesis all green vegetation bearing seed that is on the surface of the whole earth I give you for food and the animals and flying creatures also
Im so impressed. How did you learn the vast amount of information?! Love the videos, keep up the fantastic work sir.
Our plantain in Alabama don’t have the teeth along the edge
How would advise someone get into foraging? I would be kind of afraid to misidentify something and get sick later. Any tips?
Buy some books for your area and a good pair of shoes.
Hmmm... a thorn is a modified twig, and a spine is a modified leaf... where does that put the cactus?
I wish the CDs I bought from Mr. EatTheWeeds had only 1/2 the visual clarity of this Video.
I tossed $130 at Mr ETW, and THEN he immediately came out with the USB version.
I AM SO STUPID!
Great info, but I just burned $130 for CDs that will not play
on my computer or TV CD player.
Yes, I did let Mr. EatTheWeeds know, but I never heard a reply.
Never try to identify an edible from a video filmed by a Potato cam.

North Central Florida
lots of content,but can do without scientific names too hard to remember...OF COURSE>
Many people use the Latin name because its consistent. Colloquial names could mean nothing somewhere else, or even worse, mean a different plant.
@@ItsCapital thank you
Just guesstimate but given you have citrus im ruling out Florida given that you see two orange trees and that in my experience should be 2-3 empty lots listed as "for sale" to this day.
Edit: ok definitely not central florida at least. RIP Florida citrus dominance
Asking this question is part of my Research... As I am a self tought herbalist..
Also I am a
Certified Horticulturist.
8:40 sow thistle
16:00 wild lettuce
These are the 2 thing you didn't give common name for...
EVERYTHING ELSE
YOU DID..
Thank you..
🌿🌿🌿🌿
Wow the knowledge!!
In 5:40 you're showing a plant. And around that plant, if you watch carefully there were circular shaped tiny plants. It's called Gotukola( centella asiatita) which can be eaten like a salad, or stir-fry dish.
Omg! All I need to do is graze in my back yard & I'll be healthy forever... Just not so sure how my neighbors would feel about me grazing their yards...
Combat engneer. We would spend time. Out in the woods. And the doctor got mad as I came out of the field. #5 heavier. Where? He asked ? dandy lions. And clover. You bet. I see more I could have had. Tks Fer good show. Sgt williams retired.
Love your clear identification pics n flavor info on my weeds in Wisconsin , wish you'd tell us if it just leaves, plus flowers, and roots edible?
If you're ever in Hawaii, I would love for you to help identify my myriad of weeds that proliferate in my acre yard. I don't think I could ever go hungry with my weeds
Awesome video! I (think) I see these all around in Florida where I live but I never feel confident enough to eat them! So scared of eating the wrong thing no matter how much I study.
Me too 😀
I was thinking it would be great if you did a video on the different AI plant recognition systems. I have had some luck with them it seems to be related to the quality and angle of the picture that you can get but this combined with the information in your book is a great resource to find things and then study them further
The problem with harvesting edible plants in the 'burbs is you don't know just how many dogs have actually pissed on them...
Name the plants in different languages (Indian) as many as you know (or collect) for a better experience, understanding living different places of the planet.
Even tho I love herbs/botanicals, I was going to stop watching this thinking it would be just borring useless info... Well did I turn out to be wrong and amazed!!
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
@ricardobuchanan took a cutting of the Bacopa monnieri during one of Green Deane's classes last year...put it in one of my aquaponic beds and it took over! Dried it, ground it and put it into gel capsule, because the taste was just awful! My Dad, 74 years young-though he does not suffer from dementia, takes it and he says it really seems to help with the speed of his recall. Be careful with how much you use starting out as it does seem to have a ummmm...."cleansing" effect. Good luck :)
Also, I have been a big devotee of Samuel Thayer's books for a long time, and have become disappointed with a lot of foraging books that don't rise to the same standard. I live in North Carolina...are you aware of any books that are specific to my region? Also, do you know of any books that are as accessible as his, and do you have any plans on putting out a book? I love your website, but I can't take it out in the field! If you printed something, I would buy it in a New York minute.
Where are you located do you have winter? By the way great job at showing them slowly and the characteristics some folks jsut fly by point n keep going and idk how you all remember the scientific names it's all I can do to keep up with the regular names lol you do the best at pronouncing them tho most people try but do so poorly lol although you were confusing me for a moment Bc you didn't also give the normal name and you called ground ivy pectory which threw me off. Didn't realize it was a diuretic Bc I been using it for tinnitus and ear problems doesn't make me pee like dandelion
Please visit my village in north east india. Mizoram.. you can be millioneir..you can bring home free off cost..
Sir, I live in Lake County Florida and would absolutely love to visit you and pick your brain.
How did you come to your understanding of so many wild edibles?
Thanks for the reply in advance.
Study, and experience.

Hey, I live in Lake County too.
Can you please add the plant names in the video description. I'm having a hard time finding anything on the cucumber weed and having the correct Latin spelling should help.
Enjoyed your video very much. But, after you touch the plant to focus us, keep the plant still so we can see the plants leaves, flowers. Going a little too fast honey. But I did truly enjoyed it. Thank You
Please move the camera more slowly, too fast doesn't focus and gives some of us motion sickness, dizziness. You have valuable information to share.
Coicidence, as I'm watching you say it's the 17th of Feb. and I realize I'm watching it on 2/17/18.
Ha ha similar reactions with me. Corona time. 2020. Just saw him first time.
I have seen only this episode so I am speaking of this one. It looks like you can eat anything that grows in a yard besides actual grass. Not to eliminate it, but I am not seeing it here. I am living on a farm and there are lots of greens that grow around here. The summer is over here in Pa 2018. But I really just started looking on youtube for instruction on things that grow here.
Solid Video from 2012 still going strong! Thank you for this.....
@EatTheWeeds there was an episode where you were near a river or lake, but there was a plant that growing that you mentioned might be good for Alzheimer's disease. Can you tell me which episode that was. Would like to go look for it my mother suffers from this. Thank you for teaching!
Seems like about 50 percent of your yard is edible.
What is the spelling of the weed at 13:30? Hembet? Hen Bet?
I have this all over the back yard and after seeing this video... actually, I paused it and walked out and sampled this weed... wonderful favor! Thank you, Deane! Loved this one!
Is poke only eaten in the spring or can it be eaten clear up until frost. I've heard many stories and most are scare tactic stories about them being poison. I wished I had asked my friend this question before she died. I know she swore by it. She said if it hadn't been for poke she would have been dead. She used to can it for us and it was very nice. Now I need to know for my own information. I appreciate the information you give.
Please don't shake the plants like that. You through my focus out!😅
Wow u have alot...i just started planting 6yrs ago im 30now, well its not too late....I will plant more...
i reckon everone should do 1/2 mile radius search of the area to find edibles, if arent sure about the safety of eating should ask some one in the know to go with them so show which ones are good and the ones are poisonous
I live in central California and we have a nopales cactus. I was wondering why ours doesn't have babies?
I sure cant recommend eating the pyracantha shown, yuck ! Birds love it though.
Dude, for crying out loud. You need a second pair of hands to hold the camera steady. You will make some professional grade videos then..
We have eaten poke for decades and never changed the water. What is changing the water supposed to do? Also we cook them down until very little water is left and add boiled egg minced up fine.
Great video 👍
nice video,can you suggest any pocket book to carry with ilastration to identity while walking around I like to learn more .,
I like your video n all types of plants n explanation given is excellent. Is it possible for you to send some seeds of real purslane. n recipes.
Spider worts are edible? My back yard is full of them! I just think they're pretty.
I found something the leaves look just like wild lettuce but it doesn't come from a single stalk it comes from multiple in from the route
At 11:25 you are talking about a plant you said has a large root that looks like a grub. Is the root white and maybe resemble a carrot. I could not catch the name so I could not find out anything.
you know whats funny. when i was little, i had the intuition to sometimes pick one of the various plants shown in the video and chew on it. curious that
Tonight for dinner I had plantains, dandelion, wild violet and wood sorrel. Not to bad, but not great. Thanks for all the ideas.
