So nice

Love this video! Thanks Tamara ❤

I believe I found grapes the leaves are the same shape and pointy. Although they are kinda yellow is oct in the east coast. The vines are red and brown and the stems they grow on are green and brown. The fruit is purple and stains very easy. Has 2/3 seeds per fruit and is small fruit. Taste a bit sour but is good to me. My dad tried them and said they were poisonous but I don’t believe he knows jack squat. I ate like a dozen today and don’t feel any worse than usual. Edit: It’s not pokeberries is not moonseeds based off leaves.

What a great vid! My son pulled out the mallow by the house because I asked him to get rid of it. We googled the leaves and this journey of delight began. No longer a "weed"!

I was taking down my wild grapes. Which were engulfing my fruit trees? And in the process, I got ahold of whole bunch of wild grapes and I ate him for a whole day while I worked and the next day my knees felt so good. They hadn't felt that good in 20 years. It was a temporary effect and it's faded away a little each day after that, but. I'd like to be able to grow Em.If.I could do it without taking up my whole yard and not having any wild grapes

Have you ever added mallow to fire cider? Or could you add it?

for me it tastes like a pod of a green pea

Plantain is also one of my favorites. Whenever I have stomach ache I just eat couple of leaves and the pain stops. I couldn't believe it when i first tried, but it works every time for me really like magic, much better than any pills or whatever. I even planted it on my balcony but it doesn't want to grow. Maybe I should compress the soil...

I have been super annoyed trying to get this out of my yard. I've been pulling and tossing them like crazy and every year i have more than the year before. I was told they were poisonous, but just found out they're not. So I'm gonna start eating them. 😂 now I'm excited to have so many in my yard. Food security. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks! Great video!

I looked at the base and it was a bulb. Any uses for the bulb?

I have one in my garden and it is massive!! It's over 6 feet tall. I came to try to find how to use it because I need to take it out so other plants can get some sun. it's a sun hog. 😂

Thank you that is exactly the information I needed. There is a lot of fear around feral parsnip in Ontario but we could do so much by utilizing this free resource. I haven't harvested any yet, was looking to hear somebody's experience with handling it. Probably goes well with garlic mustard. Eat your invasives!

Great review, thank you! I'm trying to learn to ID them so that I can harvest their roots. Any tips? Any look alikes? Looking to harvest in winter/early spring, located in NY.

*This sh!t is a tree killer .... I HHAAATTEEEE it.*

Summer grapes

moonsead is poison

Funny to see a couple of people freaking out because they didn't watch the video. Also November two years ago, people were inclined to fear I suppose. Grimsby Ontario wetlands has signs up to scare people about wild parsnip. Opportunity lost, alas, to not have signs telling people to bring their kids back in November and harvest the root. "Bad" plants are good teachers, I guess, reminding us to slow down and pay attention. And as you say, these ones you can eat lots of because they're "invasive" (though even there I found your quote marks around "invasive" intriguing). In a way, all plants are native because they're from this planet. I've been eating tons of jewelweed flowers this week. Supposed to be good for poison ivy. And indeed it cut my blisters down from ten days to five. I should get a poultice and put a jewelweed leaf and a poison ivy leaf against my skin inside the poultice and let them fight it out.

three weeks ago in Niagara not so many, but today is August 19th of a rainy summer (2023) and they're all over. Not huge, but they survive low as the guy out back keeps mowing the field. Little yellow flowers all over, leaves are heart-shaped clover, and they're lemony.

We have the same name 😊 Thank you for sharing this awesome info !

What if i crush herbs and put them in a smoking wood pipe and suck so the nice taste of herbst can be taste, withiut buring/lighting it.

I love how you snuck in the truth that silica turns into calcium in the body. Humans deny this but Chickens don't.

What a beautiful message from a beautiful messenger. I also loved your message and approach to the wild parsnip. No fear or hype just understanding and open to the gifts of nature.

Excellent thank you for sharing 🙏🇮🇪

Hey, thanks for the tip. I found this because of you. I even convinced someone it wasn't clover but that it would be lemony and she discovered that it was.

Great video thank you.

Wait, aren’t these super bad to touch?

Such a thymly video Tamara ❤. Thank you for all the tips. The wild fire smoke has been a challenge. Hugs

Thanks for sharing ❣

Awesome Video very informative! 😊

Can I get your cough medicine recipe?

29 June, 2023: just went into the adjacent field and failed to find mallow. It's prolly all over but I was distracted: a profusion of purple flowers stacked in a sort of cone. And everything coming on at once. I ate plantain (two types), clover balls, creeping Charlie, the leaf of a thistle.

the leaves seem orbicular, like Creeping Charlie, maybe? And are those stems mauve? Suggesting a word "root" with mallow, mauve or purple being the color? Hmm, I'm going to go out and look for this. --David who is not "user # something."

sorry/not sorry to write so much. I type very fast. The Hawthorne writer from my part of the world, Massachusetts, actually added the e on. If memory serves it wasn't there. But my memory fails about whether I'm talking about his family name or the plant. --David who is not a user

yeah, neglecta is good. I wish they would neglecta more of the wilds and keep modernity away from them. Instead of forest management they should have forest neglecta.--David (not user-man)

sipping the lawn right now: plantain steeped in boiling water, with a bit of stevia. Not sure why the computer thingie calls me, David, "user-hj7ld4ff7"

That’s so amazing. YT recommended your video and earlier I said to my hubby as we took the doggie for a walk “I bet these plants that we are walking over are good for you”. I recognise them on your video: it was plantain!! AND I have respiratory issues today and have been trying to find supplements to help.

I'm not much good at computers. It seems to be identifying me not as David Thor but as user-hj7ld4ff7p. The "user" part makes it sound like a drug deal. Do such complicated alphanumerics show at your end? I'm literally steeping plantago right now, in a mug with a lid, although I get what you're saying that it's not volatile the way thyme is. Not aromatic, in other words.

oh, I'll totally do that with the mullein leaf. Unfortunately the best place for them to grow is along the railroad track, where they probably ingest poison. But we just happened to notice one in our neighbor's yard a couple days ago and she's clean and we have access to that. I see you're in southeastern Ontario. We're in Niagara so we're prolly in the same ecosystem. Our neighbor had yellow flowers on hers on June 25.

just ran out and got some plantain leaves. My wife waylaid me with watermelon, which doesn't exactly improve the palate for plantain. Anyway I've got water boiling and will drop those plantain leaves in. And yeah, they do that thing where if you pull the leaf apart the green part slides off and leave the five wires bare and stretchy.

oh cool. I eat plantain every day. Maybe I should treat it more like medicine than like food. Hmm, I guess I only eat five leaves. Around ten it doesn't taste as good. Yeah it's super easy to identify. Also I guess when you pull the leaves apart the five wires sort of pull apart more slowly than the leaves. I'm going to go out to the yard now and doublecheck. Hmm, okay, I'll try that as a tea. Mullin or is it mullein, yeah, I was eating yellow flowers yesterday. Supposedly we're getting fire smoke here in Niagara.

Thank you! I love violets too. I have enjoyed picking the flowers and making them into ice cubes to enjoy in a glass of water or tea.

Mallow for Mellow!!!!

Thank you for sharing Tamara🌱

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Best wishes from UK.

Mallow root infusion helps with GERD,Krohns,colitis,lungs.

You can make marshmallows with the seeds of mallow plant.

Thank you for the fun presentation. It was helpful.

Are there any other lookalikes that have the leaves attached to the stem like that? I'm trying to find some identifying factors that can guarantee it is wild parsnip.

Thanks Tamara! I'll have to get some violets. It's so nice to see your lovely face. ❤
