My freind gave me a cutting, told me it is a superfood. Great video well explained. Sounds easy to grow.

Great video! I especially love the reminders to cool the tea for medicinal uses 😂

Well... It IS poisonous, but def It Will not kill you, It just will give you a hard time If you eat the fruit when is Green. Belladona IS a killer

Thank you Ma'am.

You talk too much and don't show

Just came across this video when I was trying to identify the nightshade in my backyard. I live in Texas, and somehow there’s deadly nightshade! I’ve already taken it out but I’m glad I could figure out what it was before one of my dogs ate it!

So is this a stinging neatle or not ? I got a bit confused cause i cant listen well when a person speaks slow . If its stinging then we have it in calif too. Down by the river , its tall and stings the hell outta you

Thank you I learned a lot from you and I have tons of rose hips in my garden. Yeah!!

They grow wild in South Africa known as nastergal here are farmers that grow them and make jam

That's a very informative video. I didn't know the seeds were poisonous 🥴 so thanks. I started wild foraging last year so I have a lot to learn. The rose hips I found are very small, they have 3 seeds. I dried them whole and only made tea ,also mixing in other herbs.

The wild rose (multiflora) hips where I live are so small..are they still good to use.

Thank you, I'm glad that I found this video, just when I need it. I'm in Maine and I went out to clean up my garden plot that I haven't been out to in over a month. There were several plants of this and the berries are black and sweet. I hoped I won't die when I tasted 2 berries, they're sweet. I collected as many as I could get, although I didn't know if it was going to be a treat, or medicine or poison so of course I wanted to look it up as soon as possible.

Thanks for this video. Im a sucker for volunteers in my garden. This fall as i was setting up indoor garden i had a few volunteers pop up and this plant is one of the 3 i decided to let grow. It grows excellent indoors. 6” high and full of berries already while the strawberries are still small and fragile. This video saved its life😂😂. Thanks.

You need to dry them.

what about jelly? going to look for a recipe. thank for this video. Have been letting the berries go to waste sadly because I didnt know. same with the lantana berries. they are good when black and ripe. waiting on my first ones to ripen up so I can taste it. the nightshade berry had a mucous type texture - like purslane. probably good for us.

Do you seeds or cuttings for sale? Thanks

Very cool video!!

I used to pull bushels of this out of my big garden at my Dad's farm. I used a Winged Weeder, only realized later that it propogated from those little cuttings. The garden would look like a sea of tiny pink plants when they all started growing, actually pretty. I learned about purslane from the very informative, U of Wisconsin website. I prefer eating the leaf clumps in a fritata, omelets or soup.

Thank you! Im also in Minnesota, and somehow these ended up growing in my tall raised bed. They are very tasty, a bit like a ground cherry. I love the other comment suggestion of a caprese salad substitute.

very good. I will be eating them have in yard. my son planted them but did not know of them. they r. black and healthy berries

Much appreciation! I had a couple plants pop up in my yard (Southern California) this summer with tomatoes and, not knowing what they could be, opted to care for them and see what developed. A plant “expert” I know concluded they were just an invasive weed and I should pull them so they didn’t spread everywhere. Ants and aphids seems particularly attracted to them. Well, pulling one small one, I saw the berries in one batch had gone dark so I decided to Google “berry plants” to investigate, myself. That led me to you. The rest of the plants are staying now. The largest is about six feet tall (growing against a wall) and four feet wide.

My nephew harvested the dandalion roots for me he froze it. Now I am soaking the roots in water, attempting to clean. Are the roots still good to make a tincture to use?

Thank you so much..i was going to rip them out but they brought bee's

Great!

Thank you very much. I'm new to foraging and have noticed all of these and became unsure of what to harvest for tea. This video helped tremendously and I feel much more confident. I also have recently harvested during flowering and I dried them well before freezing, lucky for me, I didn't know about the change after flowering stage.

I live in Panama and there is a lot of wild wood nettle growing here.

The Santa Rosa plum was developed from a wild American plum. It was developed in 1906 from breeding a wild plum, apricot, and Asian plum. There are so many complexities in plant science!

Definitely noticing adversarial articles against wild naturally growing food. Thank you for covering Spurge too, because it volunteered along my garden walkway this year.

I actually purchased Purslane seeds last spring to intentionally grow in soil I prepared for them next to my fence and nothing grew for me out of 25 seeds I was so disappointed

Thanks bunches! We just discovered it in our yard just outside our gate to keep our goats safely inside our paddock . I asked Siri if American Black Nightshade was poisonous to humans or livestock and she directed me to your article with this TH-cam video. I have only been on my foraging journey two years, so now that I found your channel I have subscribed and asked for all notifications. Please continue your informative channel; you are needed and greatly appreciated.

Thank you. I live in the metro and the arguments about this drive me nuts! I've got Bittersweet and Black in my yard, so I was able to make a video. And then used your video to solidify that white flower and black berry isn't poison.

The fires are from burning garbage. It's a big problem I remember in 1984 in Montreal they would completely saturated the sky 24-7 for five straight days.

Boring

Very informative tutorial. Your explanations and visuals make distinguishing between these plants very clear and doable. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve watched like 10 videos and I still can’t do hemlock vs yarrow. People need to zoom in more and go step by step going back and forth with the comparison and some mnemonic to make it stick

The plantain that you show with the red/purple at the stem bottom is plantago rugelii. Everything you are saying still applies. It is all edible. Very similar nutritional value, though it does taste different from plantago major. The flower head when tender of the rugelii tastes a lot like a slightly bitter peanut. Major flower head is somewhat mushroom like in flavor. Both are somewhat like a mix of fiddlehead and asparagus. Thanks for the video.

1.5 or 2x speed for this one!

i love the simple short informative vid but i LOVE your headpiece! where can i find one?

I think I have this plant in my garden!! It came in a mix. it is HUGE!!! Lie 5 feet tall. Can this happen?

Awesome video! I’m down in Texas, and these popped up in my garden a couple of years ago. I heard birds like them, so I let them grow, and it turned out that the bugs like it even more! I’m using it as a trap crop to keep the many species of grasshopper busy😅. I am a home sewist, and I love to dye fabrics with natural dyes, especially from native plants.This year I’ve decided to harvest all the berries I can, and dye a few flour sack towels with them. I think the color will look really nice with my Malabar Spinach Berry Pink dye, and the Texas Dandelion Yellow-peach dye that I make in early summer. Workin’ on a foraged dye rainbow, I guess!🌈❤️

Thank you so much for the video with explanation . We are based from Southern part of India and black night shade leaf and flower has always been a part of staple food for our family. We are in UK now and I was reading a book to my son about plants and it's mentioned as the night shade berries are poisonous and just 4 of it is enough to get a person killed . I didn't know what to tell my son as he loves eating those berries from our terrace garden where we grow it . Ur video rightly explained and helped us to get clarity on this .. lovely and thorough explanation. ❤ thank you

So they play geometry dash?

I have tons of night shade in my garden was always told not to eat now I'm confused

Thank you so much for this detailed info! I think I have some in my garden!

I’m definitely going to cook some plantains. For the past two years Ive made my own skin oil. I put the plantains in coconut oil and let it bake in the sunshine in a glass jar.

Is four seasons foraging still around? Couldn’t find it, but interested. Never mind! Found your site. Thank you, for the content!
