The Larkins Wild Edibles is where you can learn how to harvest plants, medicine, and animals correctly and learn earth living skills. Also get ideas to getting outside and having fun, all year long, in any weather. I'm from Maine and most of the information, that I give, corresponds, to northeast North America. If it's wild and it's edible, I will eat it.
Be warned that the inner bark of trees is pure fiber. The people I know that ate it got diarrhea so bad they became dangerously dehydrated which, in a survival situation, is far more likely to kill you than missing a meal.
It will grow into a bush 4-5-8 feet tall! It also climbs up trees and its vine can be 6-8” in diameter. Do not wait 2 hours - wash asap with casteel oil soap.
The most interesting thing about your video is that it took me 5 years to find it. This is a quick and easy guide. Found Canadian lettuce recently close to the Florida coast already in full bloom June 2024 so an update to this video might be an idea. I added this to my library playlist titled interesting by others. I am also subscribing which is also public. You should keep up the good work I will have to look at new videos and get caught up with your content. I have more shorts than full videos but keep mine current so feel free to reciprocate and check my channel out! Again Great Video!
I found your “how to” video after my “Picture This” app identified a plant growing in my backyard as willow leaf wild lettuce. This variety had long, very narrow leaves, so I washed and cut them and followed your cooking instructions. They smelled a lot like spinach, but they tasted much heartier. They were delicious!! And FREE!! Thank you for making your videos for novice foragers like me! I subscribed to your channel. 😎
What I’m looking at is very young leaves and I did cook some of the older leaves, but it’s really prickly and I was wondering if there’s a way you de pricked. delicious though to me it taste better than even collard greens
The lettuce in the video is Lattuca canadensis and there is no prickly part on it. But you have prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola), it has prickly parts and also edible.
I have several of these the flowers smell wonderful. But I guess they are invasive but so is Japanese barberry and they are natures antibiotic. So beauty is in the eye of the beholder! God bless & thank you.
I bought seeds this year since I couldn't find any tubbers. They have sprung up quite nicely and I'm excited to get a harvest this year. Definitely took note from ALL the videos I've seen about them and planted them in a haf whiskey barrel lol
