Thank you for sharing this information. I have yet to start gathering, but I’m always curious about some of the “weeds” that I am hoeing up. Lol ! I too love the woods, so much that I started deer hunting 2 seasons ago. I’m 52 years old and still learn something new everyday! God be with you and yours! Keeping my homestead dreams alive!
If youre a bit more on the witchy side some of these can be great for all kinds of uses from healing magic to banishment to love magic. Its not hard to find the magical properties of plants and adding in other aspects of where you got it you can really do some great magic. (note: I am not christian i dont follow christian rules. I have my own faith.)
Great video! I have that foraging book but I don’t have the Peterson’s book so I just ordered it! I love all kinds of things about herbal medicines and foraging and teas and whatnot.
Making a trip to North Carolina next week, would love to get some opinions on some good tea I could make ( Any suggestions on any trees or plants to make some good tea while I’m down there?)
Rabbit Tobacco and Mullein are actually 2 different plants… Rabbit Tobacco is Pseudognaphalium Obtusifolium…. It does have similar growth pattern to mullien (compact for the first year then shoots up) but they do look completely different and have different medicine… real rabbit tobacco is spindly and silver and smells like maple syrup
I recognized all the plants you showed, I am in VA so not much different I guess. Some guys were making pillows around here that had mullein in them, when people with breathing problems slept on them, they didn't have any trouble. I have some in the flowerbed this year but it grows where ever.
Love physical books. Don’t need to worry about the electrical supply, dead batteries or broken screens with real books. Thank you for this video!! I didn’t know violets were edible. Can you please do a video showing the process from finding the plant, identifying it, harvesting it and then eating it? I am mostly interested in raw edibles but also enjoy watching wild edibles being prepared. I just found out a huge plant growing from hay waste from my barn is growing something called Giant Ragweed. It is apparently edible and my sheep just love the stuff but I am hesitant to try it and I have no idea how to prepare it.
Maybe next spring when the foraging is best here I can do a video like that! We have ragweed here, but have never attempted to eat it, that stuff makes me sneeze, haha!
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays There is always the Vine That Ate The South! Easily identifiable and very plentiful, Kudzu is edible for humans and livestock. My husband and I are talking about planting some for our sheep to graze
Dead Nettle is not in same family as Stinging Nettles. Purple Dead Nettle and Henbit are in the Mint family not the Nettle family. Thanks for the video. Your animals make a great soundtrack. :)
I didn’t realize just how much you couldn’t see them until I uploaded the video 🤦♀️ I’m planning on doing a quick mini series a little later in the week of each one with good close ups ☺️ thanks for watching!
We live in high point North Carolina. Just getting back into foraging and hoping to get into the medicinal properties of the local plants. I ordered some herbalist books. Thanks for the video!
I think I have that exact book ! I don’t have an app though. What app do you use ? It’s amazing how God provided so much for our health and healing that isn’t even used anymore! Shoot, we may need to be eating all the edibles pretty soon 😳 Thanks for taking us for a walk on your beautiful property 💜
Megan I would have loved to see you bite into those things especially the dandelion and the Dead purple better the dandelion is really bitter and the Dead nettle is like chewing on a dry dish rag. Glad to see you are learning as we all should be
