In all my 70 years, I've never seen a wild greens salad. Beautiful! I recognize the dandelions and chives, but am unfamiliar with the rest. WOW do I have a lot to learn. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful salad. :)
With dandelions and wild chives, you've got a lot of good eating, too, Vicki ILuvBoxers! It's amazing how many of our common weeds were really considered food plants in the past. With wild plants and mushrooms, there's more than any of us can learn in a lifetime, so it's nice when anyone shares their experience with them. Just knowing that other people eat weeds helps people get started. Happy spring! :D
THANK YOU! Please continue to present the same weeds over and over again. It helps because they always seem to look a little different. Great teaching for us newbies!
HTH, I love your channel name! I'm new here as far as participating, trying to offer some Black Sheep out there some help from my experience, and I try to end my stuff saying Hang Tough. It's what we gotta do, especially these days right? Love it!
Thank you very much=awesome information=I love foraging for my greens-used to do that when I lived in Germany-but when I lived in AZ that was not possible ( Dessert Climate ) now I live in N Cal and have a yard/garden. There is nothing better than harvesting from God's plentiful provision. I am so grateful.
I can recognize many of them my friend. Some I not even imagined they were edible. Nice how you keep them organized. The salad looks very tasty. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
I love this. I pick a lot of Purslane and Dandelions here in Florida. Love the taste and crispy texture of Purslane, and it is so hearty here all year. Thanks so much for the really informative video. Learned a lot.
You are enjoying 2 of the great edible weeds, Healthy Recipe Channel! I appreciate finding out which weeds you have in your area, too, so far from me in the Pacific Northwest. It's amazing how some plants can handle all the extremes of different parts of the country and even around the world. It's nice that you are able to get purslane (Portulaca oleracea) all year. I only see it in our hottest summer months. Happy weed eating! :D
I completed enjoyed your video as it was an excellent tutorial with lots of good info. I'm nowhere near an expert on foraging but after 16 years living on my 20 acre homestead property here in Mississippi, I have learned how to identify, pick, and prepare many wild edibles from my land. Truly there are lots of edible plants, nuts, mushrooms, tubers, etc. that can be harvested at various times of the year. I find it a fun challenge to just take a bowl and forage to see what I can find for dinner, or any meal really. Just in case some of your viewers might enjoy seeing how to use wild edibles for BREAKFAST, I have a video posted on my channel on making a Smilax and Wild Garlic omelet. Smilax goes by many names, one of which is Greenbriar. It's honestly one of my favorite wild edibles. When young shoots appear in the spring, you can eat the thorns and all! But deer love them too, so I have to compete with the wildlife for finding them first. Thanks for sharing your excellent video. Much appreciated.
THAT is a georgeous salad packed with 20 plus anti-oxidants and vitamins in the middle of the winter!!! If we ALL ate our weeds, Covid 19, or whatever you call the scourge, would be a NON-issue! Thanks for the info and wisdom!
These are such delicious salads, Geoff G. It would be nice if everyone could eat something as satisfying and enjoyable as these salads. I hope you can find some edible plants in your area, too!
Even though we only have the dandelion and chives here in South Central Alaska, I still enjoyed your video. Very well done. We will be experiencing Spring growth explosion of the greens soon here and I'm looking forward to it. Like you, I really enjoy being able to wild forage.
Hey, Lonnie, thanks for stopping by! I like all your foraging, for sure. I think you make good use of the greens you have, like the fireweed. It's amazing how dandelions and chives are so adaptable to such extreme climates -- cold and hot. Enjoy your spring green explosion! ; )
Hi there, has been 1 year u dont upload video, i hope you are OK,. i miss you very much, you such a lovely person, you bring peace to my soul! pls let me know you are fine :) greetings and hugs
I've been eating weeds for a while. So many great flavors and some others that a little bit of goes a long way! The more varieties I collect, the more new little plants I see that make me wonder if this is going to be good to eat. I've got a lovely patch of plantain I might cut today and another patch of lamb's quarters coming on. And then there is the woods full of May Apples that I've always been told are toxic and have now seen one internet source saying they aren't.... I'm not going to try them yet! Foraging is so much fun. And it can be work like the day I collected half a bushel of nettles. Any time I'm greedy about collecting stuff I pay for it in the time spent cleaning it. Dad didn't say a lot about picking clean but when mom and I were preparing garden stuff to can or freeze we sure could tell the difference between his and little brother's basket. No matter what we said little brother always had more trash in his. I guess I'm saying that your telling people to pick clean brings back memories. I love watching your videos and they inspire me to try new wild veggies! And as old as I am and growing up with garden dirt under my fingernails the how to tips are very helpful. Thank You!
When it comes to MAYAPPLE, ONLY THE FULLY RIPE FRUIT ARE EDIBLE!!! THE ENTIRE REST OF PLANT AND UNDER-RIPE FRUIT ARE INDEED TOXIC!!! There is a patch of them, not thriving as they have in other years, just over the boundary fence from my brother's back yard on a bike trail right-of-way that is public property.
Thank you, Joyce Brewer, for your warning about most parts of Mayapple being poisonous!! One source says the seeds are a bit toxic, too--so best to remove them. What a beautiful plant--very exotic to we folks in the West!
While I'm no expert at foraging, I've gathered the odd wild edible over the years. I really appreciate what you did here, and the salad looked amazing. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for your comment, Ryan Keith. I like the challenge of putting together a wild salad. I have never had a bad wild salad. The plants may change, but there is so much out there to find. Happy foraging to you!
Thank you! I just realized my most hated "weed" in my yard is Common Mallow thanks to you! Now instead of wasting my energy pulling those dang things (and those taproots go DEEP) I'll use it for tea, and salads! Hope all is well, thank you for taking the time with all of your informative vids.
You're my favorite forager, thanks for another great video 🍀. Only yellow rocket makes it through the winter here, but thistles and clovers are back already.
Thanks for the kind words, Create Synergistic Transformations! I'm not sure exactly which plant you are referring to, but in general, plants in the Mustard family, like yellow rocket, are so hardy, it's amazing. Especially the "rockets" in the Barbarea genus. I've got Barbarea verna in my area, and it matures so early in the season. Plants are amazing! Happy foraging and enjoy your thistles and clovers!
There are so many amazing things to eat out there, just growing on their own, waiting to be noticed. I hope you can enjoy some of them yourself sometime, Gina Mitembe!
We had 20 inches of late snow in Puget Sound which collapsed my high tunnels but the glass house is fine and there are lots of weeds in there to eat. I have sorrel for lemon taste as well as the lemon balm for fragrance; The curly dock I dig the roots when they are in my row and make tea from them.
Thanks for sharing how you enjoy your weeds, Hans Quistorff! We had big snows down here in western Oregon, too. Sorry to hear about your high tunnels, but I'm glad your glass house held up. Folks had buildings collapse down here. Enjoy your spring and its weeds!
I pick lots edible herbs and made a Persian food ( koo koo) you chop all the herb add 4-5 eggs and 1/4 of cup coconut flour , 1/4 cup walnuts salt & pepper , grease your Teflon dish 9-inch really thick and add your herbs and bake for 45 or more or less depend how much is in the dish , and after cool off ! cut like cake eat with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt like Persian 👍 it came out just like the original koo koo that is made with spinach , green onion , parsley , chives cilantro . 🤪
Thanks for your kind words and support, Joy Barrows! I'll be posting more videos soon. I did put up 4 earlier this year, but I have a lot more videos to make! Have a great summer and I hope to hear from you again on my upcoming videos! :D
I like how you sort it all so carefully! I have to say, Holly, no one makes a better looking salad that I know of! I always enjoy relaxing while I watch your vids and I am always impressed by your amazing knowledge of plants!
I too live in the Pacific North West. Washington State. I just discovered you and was super stoked to find a forager from the PNW. I live in S.E. WA. Im from central washingtom and have also lived in the N.W.part of the state. I'm pretty new to foraging spent first year just on identifacation. Started eating from foraging this year. I love it. Lamb's Quarters are so amazing. I missed out on fiddleheads (super bummed) got my patch of milkweed under watch. Ive made some tinctures and infusions. Im loving it. Im an outdoor person anyway. I feel great best in years i credit my addition of wild edibles. It's the only change from last year so I feel confident in bestowing the honor of my improved health to eating the weeds.
I'm glad you found your way here, too, Dwight Nash! With those live taste reviews, you know I really eat all this, lol. I never get tired of wild salads. I hope you can enjoy some, too, sometime! Thanks for commenting!
Really enjoyed the knowledge u have of edible plants,it was a pleasure to watch this video. I see Connie and Lonnie follow u,I follow them as well, appreciate u.
Hey, Give It A Grow, thanks for stopping by, and I'm glad you enjoyed my weeds and salad-making tips! It's the season for good wild eatin', that's for sure! I hope you can post your wild salad on your great channel, too! Happy foraging! :D
That was amazing! Me again. Your channel probably be getting more views, considering today's times. Might not be a bad idea to repost or do again certain video topics. Thanks again
I kinda wanna start eating wild salad for breakfast with some egg on top yum. I really want to try tea making with some of the wild roses we have here.
The cleavers behind my neighbor's garage are growing!!! I have some as well, but I need to keep them in check, they take over 😁 The narrow plantain and the wild mallow are growing and dandelion should be pushing soon, for some tender green leaves; weeding the front flowerbed I cut some out and the small roots are so good chewing! Love your videos!!!!
Hi, kleineroteHex, nice to see you commenting again! Cleavers can really cover a lot of ground -- that's why it's good we eat them, lol. ; ) It sounds like you are all ready for the spring season. Nice comment about the dandelion roots this time of year. They've had time to convert the starch, that they stored in their roots in the autumn, into sugars to support fast spring growth. I think it's the best time to enjoy their roots. Happy spring!
This is totally awesome and amazing I wish I had study this year's ago thank you, thank you this winter I changed all eating habits to Organic and really hope I can identify backyard weeds
Just stumbled onto you channel. I absolutely love your videos. I am going to watch them all. Recently my brother and I have been working on making wild edibles garden with our native plants here in Kentucky. Your videos are really going to help.
You're welcome, song yardbird! I'm glad you enjoy seeing all my weeds, lol. There are so many good weed ID books out there. I have been thinking about options for something more engaging and interactive than a book would be. And more action-focused than my videos. Maybe something like a workbook, with things that everyone can do to become a forager, or a better forager. Thanks for your good thoughts and support! : )
Haphazard Homestead : That work book would be awesome! I live in Northeastern Ontario Canada and we have so much of the same weeds here, I would love to have a new interactive way to learn about those great eatable and medical plants. We still have 4 feet of snow in the bush but it will be melting soon, 2 feet already melted off, lol... yeah we are in snow wonderland here but with the mild weather comes maple sirop. The next few weeks are going to be above zero in the daytime and below at night which is ideal for the maple trees to be tapped. I plan on making tinctures and capsules this spring and summer with different wild plants, do you make medicine with the weeds you collect or can you recommend someone who does? I love your videos, keep up the good work. God bless!
Thanks for your views on a workbook, Nicole Hervieux. Spring will come quickly once your snow is gone. But it's nice you've got maple sap flowing in the meantime! When I lived in Michigan, I really enjoyed making maple syrup. I don't do much with wild medicine. I don't have much personal experience with needing any medicine (fortunately). And there's so much more to healing than the plants or mushrooms themselves -- diagnosis, dosing, monitoring and adjusting, looking for signs of things getting better or worse, and so much more. But I do eat every day, so I have a lot more experience with using wild plants and mushrooms for that! If you are needing medicine, I hope you can find the relief that works for you.
Love this! We have an abundance of wild edibles out here. I've been picking wild chives for years. It's so nice to have when you're out of onions. I like to add false dandelion and sorrel to salads. 🤷
Oh Lord, 16 edible wild green or weeds!? I just started picking dandelion from a church lawn next to us, but happened to be something else... Thank God it wasn't poisonous but similar taste with dandelion. Thanks for the informative channel and please show other green such as wild chicory...
Wow! I have long been interested in wild foods but I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. I had no idea that yellow dead nettle was edible, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for your comment, james mays. You may have a different Galium in your area, although Galium aparine, the one in my video, is really widespread. It looks different as the season goes by here, too. In the winter, and if they are growing under sunny conditions, the little leaflets are more rounded than when they are in the sun. And the number of leaflets goes up, too, with the older plants or plants in the sun. Your comment highlights how it's useful to know how some plants change their form as they age, or under different conditions, so thanks for that!
Just scrolled the comments to see if anyone had a way of opening the sunflower seeds..... To my disappointment, nothing yet. Loved the video, regardless! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us!
Yeah, I"m still waiting for some sunflower seed tips, jsaabnh, lol. I'll keep trying! I'm glad you enjoyed all the rest of the video and my weeds, too.
I love your videos!! I think I just watch 15 in a row...I need to meet someone like you and do some foraging for a week or two to become self-sufficent. Keep up the great 👍 work!
Thank you Holly Chris. I so enjoy your videos they're so excellent I appreciate it and we in Eastern Canada🇨🇦 really are starting up on foraging for wild edibles so it's a hot commodity around here too! HALLELUYAH

I love when you make salad out of everything that you found. It's so fun. I've watched your wild edible plant salad at least 5 times.
Please upload more videos. I absolutely love them. Thank you
Haha kitty in the chickweed
I can recognize many of them my friend.
Some I not even imagined they were edible.
Nice how you keep them organized.
The salad looks very tasty.
Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
Watching this makes me hungry for a nice big salad! Boy that salad disappeared quick! Have a great day Aunt Holly Chris. :)
Hey, Josh, glad you enjoyed my salad! I wolfed it down pretty quick, lol. It was tasty! Have a great day and say Hi to your wonderful family! :D
@@HaphazardHomestead I just heard you are from the valley here as well. Where are you ? Can i buy stuff from you? Thanks!

Really cool
I hope you can enjoy some wild greens this spring, too, ZE!

All the fresh baby plants are the most delicious in salads

I see those plantains everywhere.

I am teaching my son about wild edibles. I love these videos because I may learn something new.
Should start looking closely at weeds growing in our backyard! Thanks for this!
Because of your channel, I made my first wild weed salad today! And I'm just learning!
If you’re still around are you able to make any more videos your videos are very informative and very much appreciated
Thanks for your kind words and support, Joy Barrows! I'll be posting more videos soon. I did put up 4 earlier this year, but I have a lot more videos to make! Have a great summer and I hope to hear from you again on my upcoming videos! :D
Excellent! I ate wild vegetables all the time when I was young in China village. Now I am starting it again!
We pick wild thing and add them into our diet all them time, like elderflowers etc. I have booked up a foraging weekend soon and I cant wait :)
Lol your cat is gorgeous, I'm loving your videos, can't wait to get into all these weeds an eating! 🙂

AMAZING,I wish to stay close to you, I want to learn so much about this plants.
I too live in the Pacific North West. Washington State. I just discovered you and was super stoked to find a forager from the PNW. I live in S.E. WA. Im from central washingtom and have also lived in the N.W.part of the state. I'm pretty new to foraging spent first year just on identifacation. Started eating from foraging this year. I love it.

Adding violets and nasturtium and rose petals will make it a beautiful treat and well as healthy.
Beautiful salad.
Your videos are nicely edited and smoothly narrated. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I especially enjoy seeing the how-to in the kitchen.
so glad I found you... amazing challenge to find all those greens. I really loved the live taste review! amazing!

The salad looks amazing! This video is loaded with so much valuable and great information. Thanks a million my friend! Peaches
Awesome information!!! Thank you!! I think I am going to follow your tradition for New Years, that is a great idea!
This is amazing! Great tips for harvesting wild greens. I cant wait to go make one of these myself :)
Hey, Give It A Grow, thanks for stopping by, and I'm glad you enjoyed my weeds and salad-making tips! It's the season for good wild eatin', that's for sure! I hope you can post your wild salad on your great channel, too! Happy foraging! :D
Wow, wow looks sooo good.
Thanks, Eswari Balan! Some weeds are so good to eat! I hope you can find some good ones around you, too!
thank you for advising for picking clean!!
Useful, looks cool
Time to go harvest a salad. It's allll out there. Noones gonna pick it for me. Thank you for this video Always good.
I so wish you made a book on all theses wonder full plants.
Very awesome! How about doing your ten favorite weeds?
What an amazing place you live parked with medicine. I hope you never get sick. Thank you very much for sharing. I love your videos. They are amazing!
That was really nice, can't wait to get some of those greens this spring here in the Midwest.
That was amazing! Me again. Your channel probably be getting more views, considering today's times. Might not be a bad idea to repost or do again certain video topics. Thanks again
so beautiful salad thank you
That looked so yummy
Yes, indeed. It's amazing to me, every time, how delicious these wild salads are! I hope you can enjoy some yourself! Happy spring, Meal Bla!
very informative , great video with the latin and common name, thank you
I kinda wanna start eating wild salad for breakfast with some egg on top yum. I really want to try tea making with some of the wild roses we have here.
I love your vids!! Plz post another
The cleavers behind my neighbor's garage are growing!!! I have some as well, but I need to keep them in check, they take over 😁 The narrow plantain and the wild mallow are growing and dandelion should be pushing soon, for some tender green leaves; weeding the front flowerbed I cut some out and the small roots are so good chewing!
Love your videos!!!!
Hi, kleineroteHex, nice to see you commenting again! Cleavers can really cover a lot of ground -- that's why it's good we eat them, lol. ; ) It sounds like you are all ready for the spring season. Nice comment about the dandelion roots this time of year. They've had time to convert the starch, that they stored in their roots in the autumn, into sugars to support fast spring growth. I think it's the best time to enjoy their roots. Happy spring!
@@HaphazardHomestead ahhhh, thanks for the dandelion root info, you are a great teacher!!!
I'm excited to try the cleavers!! Never noticed that the very young ones aren't prickly yet!
@@Lightharvest-dd2bf you can eat the young ones raw. I cut some into my wild green salads. Today I showed them to my grandson.
"Not as good as summertime tomatoes, But it is better than any thing from the store" Oh yes it is ✌🏽😁 Thank you for this ✌🏽❤️
This is totally awesome and amazing I wish I had study this year's ago thank you, thank you this winter I changed all eating habits to Organic and really hope I can identify backyard weeds
Great information!
Thanks for the lesson. Love your live taste tests. Lol
Really nice vid and healthy food 💚

TY so much!! That is so goooooood! When are you going to write a weed Identification book along with your delightful recipes??? Song
You're welcome, song yardbird! I'm glad you enjoy seeing all my weeds, lol. There are so many good weed ID books out there. I have been thinking about options for something more engaging and interactive than a book would be. And more action-focused than my videos. Maybe something like a workbook, with things that everyone can do to become a forager, or a better forager. Thanks for your good thoughts and support! : )
Haphazard Homestead : That work book would be awesome! I live in Northeastern Ontario Canada and we have so much of the same weeds here, I would love to have a new interactive way to learn about those great eatable and medical plants. We still have 4 feet of snow in the bush but it will be melting soon, 2 feet already melted off, lol... yeah we are in snow wonderland here but with the mild weather comes maple sirop. The next few weeks are going to be above zero in the daytime and below at night which is ideal for the maple trees to be tapped. I plan on making tinctures and capsules this spring and summer with different wild plants, do you make medicine with the weeds you collect or can you recommend someone who does? I love your videos, keep up the good work. God bless!
Thanks for your views on a workbook, Nicole Hervieux. Spring will come quickly once your snow is gone. But it's nice you've got maple sap flowing in the meantime! When I lived in Michigan, I really enjoyed making maple syrup. I don't do much with wild medicine. I don't have much personal experience with needing any medicine (fortunately). And there's so much more to healing than the plants or mushrooms themselves -- diagnosis, dosing, monitoring and adjusting, looking for signs of things getting better or worse, and so much more. But I do eat every day, so I have a lot more experience with using wild plants and mushrooms for that! If you are needing medicine, I hope you can find the relief that works for you.
That was awesome why did that look good I can't wait to get dandelion I miss it so much thank you so much for sharing that boy you're good
I love your videos. Could you make some videos on toxic wild greens to avoid? Thanks!
Mouth watering!
I can't express how good these salads actually are. Every one of them. Weeds are worth eating! : )
Love this! We have an abundance of wild edibles out here. I've been picking wild chives for years. It's so nice to have when you're out of onions. I like to add false dandelion and sorrel to salads. 🤷
Oh Lord,
16 edible wild green or weeds!?
I just started picking dandelion from a church lawn next to us, but happened to be something else...
Thank God it wasn't poisonous but similar taste with dandelion. Thanks for the informative channel and please show other green such as wild chicory...
Salad looked great. ✌🏻❤
You are a great teacher! Thanks
Hey Haphazard! Just seen I missed this somehow. Good to see you made it through winter. Salad looks scrumptious!!!
Yumalucious 😋.
Wow! I have long been interested in wild foods but I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. I had no idea that yellow dead nettle was edible, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Here in the South Cleavers look totally different they have seven leaves per noud and they are skinny spire shaped
Thanks for your comment, james mays. You may have a different Galium in your area, although Galium aparine, the one in my video, is really widespread. It looks different as the season goes by here, too. In the winter, and if they are growing under sunny conditions, the little leaflets are more rounded than when they are in the sun. And the number of leaflets goes up, too, with the older plants or plants in the sun. Your comment highlights how it's useful to know how some plants change their form as they age, or under different conditions, so thanks for that!
Just scrolled the comments to see if anyone had a way of opening the sunflower seeds..... To my disappointment, nothing yet. Loved the video, regardless! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us!
Yeah, I"m still waiting for some sunflower seed tips, jsaabnh, lol. I'll keep trying! I'm glad you enjoyed all the rest of the video and my weeds, too.
Wonderful
Wow. That looks delicious.
I have jsut recently found your channel. Wish I had known of it sooner, SO well done! Love your style! Will be working my way through your collection.
I love your videos!! I think I just watch 15 in a row...I need to meet someone like you and do some foraging for a week or two to become self-sufficent. Keep up the great 👍 work!
Thank you Holly Chris. I so enjoy your videos they're so excellent I appreciate it and we in Eastern Canada🇨🇦 really are starting up on foraging for wild edibles so it's a hot commodity around here too! HALLELUYAH
You have so many good wild things to eat there in Eastern Canada! Yay for all the spring abundance! :D
I see o of this greens in my backyard..Thank you..
