Excellent video. I've seen bacopa frequently. I'll look for the mint now too. Speaking of mints - I've found wild Lion's Tail (leonotis leonorus), Lion's Ear (leonotis nepetifolia), and Perilla species around my local woods. Escaped from cultivation I have to assume. Leonotis flowers make an awesome mildly giddy psychoactive tea.
@Dreoilin In this regard no, although there is a ground ivy called creeping charlie. This is micormeria brownii whereas the ground ivy is Glechoma hederacea.
Thanks for writing....no, it was Lake Seiminary.... however, I do have a class on Sunday nearby in Mead Gardens. Perhaps you would like to attend. The details are on my website. The mint and the B. monnieri are there.
My videos are nearly ready for sale. The hold up is printing on the DVDs themselves. The early ones were not shot in HD so while we have improved them, they are not HD.
This vid was so cool, we have charlie out front and its growing like mad... but is not in the water and the leaves are a little bit different. I'm going to try and put some in my tank and see what happens. great vid subbed.
I enjoy eating verdugalas available in the local market. It look very similar to the bacopa and purslane. I wonder which it is related to or neither? It has a slight lemony flavor and a red fleshy stems. Leaves are 1/2 in. and fleshy green. Just wondering...
I think you are referring to Glechoma hederacea. I am referring to Clinopodium browei... both are nicked named Creeping Charlie, both edible.G. hederacea by the way is not native to North America but came from Europe.
Bacopa Monnieri acts real fast with me. If I get a tincture from the Healthshop (company who makes it here is Mediherb), I get the most amazing dreams after a few doses of the stuff. Amazing. Extremely realistic dreams. I'm just experimenting and eating the plant raw, and I'm still getting amazing dreams. It also helped me with a Codeine addiction, will have to see how it will affect my memory or general well-being. Haven't taken it long enough for that maybe. But the dreams come on straight away, so it must be doing something to my brain, for sure. Thanks for the video.
We've got tons of creeping charlie here in southern Ontario. We've got a "nature" trail in the middle of our town which follows the river and one can find creeping charlie under all the big shading trees. Seems I'm the only one here with a taste for them though.
Hello again Green Dean I keep on encountering Nandina domestica on my wood travels. Do you think that its edible? I can't find much edibility information about the plant on the Internet. Thanx.
@firebrandsgirl it's probably creeping charlie. it's a very common lawn weed. i tore out a garden bed full of it. now i regret not drying it and making it into tea.
In olden days, I can remember that my grand mother use to give us Lunwila (Bacopas) and Aralu (Harithaki) as a pergetive for blood purification during our school vacation just before the Sinhala Nw year. It seemed to be a great natural medicine of our own.
Are you sure this is "Creeping Charlie?" I learned Creeping Charlie, or Gill Over the Ground's leaf is a completely different shaped, bitter and the mint smell is light. Am I confused? Please explain.
There are several Creeping Charlies which is why common names aren't helpful. There are some 18 pig weeds, almost as many hog plums and Indian Potatoes.
Creeping Charlie is an edible mint plant, wow! I've always just thought of it as a hard to kill, invasive lawn wrecker. Now, rather than spray it with RoundUP, if I find some I can round some up to eat. Thanks.
The tongue is to blame. It goes back to Latin endings and how they were said. If the suffix started with an "A" that got mangle into the English "-able" if it ended with an "E" it became "-ible." -able is far more common than -ible.
Actualy there is a huge commercial side to it but one is trying to convince folks who are still eating at McDonads twice a day and think plants are hostile.
hey Green Dean..Let me tell you what we use it for. We eat these wild greens. We stir fry it with garlic, salt and crushed tomatoes....then we add it to spicy yellow pea soup...if you like I shall make a video of this dish so you can see what it looks like and how it is served. It is really delicious. adds a texture to the soup....we also use what is called pig weed here...we call it bhajee. pronounced bah-jee. Thank you
Curious you should mention said...when I was younger I had an eidedic memory... I have a few cute stories from college...never studied, I just read or heard once and remembered in toto...shocked a few professors with recall...when I say "I don't remember" I am being polite.
Mr Dean, I visit your videos often. They are like my info fix on nature and I look forward to any that takes us into your kitchen because there I hope to sight one of your cats.But I have a problem. Not being a native English speaker, I find your speaking too fast and tapering off towards the end of a sentence. For instance, in this segment on Bacopas, I replayed one part 4 times before I understood it to be: 'the whole plant is fragrant'.Your videos are also fragrant......thanks!
I've never found Lemon Bacopa in water, just damp places. The Indians eat the Water Bacopa. I find it bitter and not too interesting. I haven't eaten a lot of it but I've nibbled on it.
Happy holidays Green Deane! Thanks for all the input from 2009, really looking forward to 2010's projects! Keep them coming!

We have the ground ivy in Ohio called creeping charlie as well.

great vid subbed.
Love learning from you, so fun and you make me smile! ^_^ Thank you!
I think one can also buy perilla in the can for flavoring in oriental markets.
Thanks enjoyed your video again.
Yes lovign yoru new techniques. and as you said the 2nd camera work. Your a funny bloke. Merry Christmas..
Little House on The Prarie....wow.. blast from the past...those were gentlier times...
Very clear images of the plants, especially the magnified shot. Merry Christmas if you celebrate. 5*****

was the backdrop lake ashby? by the little fresh water stream. nice vid
I have contacted Discovery twice, in 2008 and 2009. There seems to be no way to contact Planet Green directly.

B. monnieri is a pretty popular aquarium plant.
I really do appreciate your videos. I have one question (at the present time). What is the extent of your consumption of commercially produced foods?
Well...you have a point... but is lemon bacopa any worse than bacopa caroliniana?
The only reason is on my pc, the plants are blurry, and I have to search elsewhere for more detailed photos.
Hello again Green Dean I keep on encountering Nandina domestica on my wood travels. Do you think that its edible? I can't find much edibility information about the plant on the Internet. Thanx.
marry christmas green dean good video as always i agree with them you should make your own tv show

Where do you live? I have more than 100 listed on my site.
Wow, I used to grow lots of Barcopa in my aquariums, never knew it was edible.
I really wish I could get your videos in HD!
Merry Christmas!!
Thanks for sharing! What’s your dosage?
And here I am about shell out money so I can grow these plants for my fish tanks :) Really informative video

How about doing a video about edible mushrooms.
The tongue is to blame. It goes back to Latin endings and how they were said. If the suffix started with an "A" that got mangle into the English "-able" if it ended with an "E" it became "-ible." -able is far more common than -ible.
Got a botanical name?
I wished I know that much about plant, I have a jungle, ill learn little by little, thank you for haring

First to view and respond - sweet. Thanks for all of your great informative videos and please keep up the great work. Have a great Christmas Deane.
Do you have an illustrated book?
Thanks....
Your creeping Charlie looks different from what I have, with the purple flower, I wish I could rid the yard of it!
Do you ever run into alligators while you are foraging?
@firebrandsgirl It likes water, no doubt about that. Might you have non-edible venus looking glass?
I do not have the botanical name. =( I find it in the Mexican market if that helps.
Would creeping Charlie effect pregnant fish as well

I have done so twice.... they aren't of the mind set yet.

What TV channels have you tried? Planet Green is an off-shoot of Discovery. They would probably be your best bet.
@firebrandsgirl Yep, lifelong bachelor. Always planned on getting married but it never happened.
@EatTheWeeds
probably because there isn't a clear commercial profit to be made?
@littlsuprstr I just learned that one weed I have isn't henbit. It looks like it but I can tell the different. hahah
There's more than 20,000 of those in North America.
an you help me identify a plant if i send pics? nicole p
Nicole Petrus probably. send me a picture and I will let you know if I can ID it.
I also recommend joining a wild plant ID grounds on Facebook.
Purslane is verdolaga.
With some 4,000 edibles in North America I've only just begun.
Laos peoples put the lemon bacopas in chicken or fish soup and you can eat it raw. I grow them in my backyard they love wet places.
Well... I ain't religious but Christmas is part of my heritage and I enjoy it.
The Bacopa monnieri on my balcony is unpleasantly bitter.
Me too! I thought it looks like Florida.
Go to my website and type in the botanical name.
video de baixa qualidade..talvez camera de baixo megapixel
Santa was kind....
You should try and pitch your "show" to Food Network.
creeping charlie is in my yard. my yard isn't wet. I will check to make sure it is creeping charlie when I get home.
I've never found Lemon Bacopa in water, just damp places. The Indians eat the Water Bacopa. I find it bitter and not too interesting. I haven't eaten a lot of it but I've nibbled on it.
I have to regrow my every year.
Χριστούγεννα!
i got some bacopa in my fishtank
that's NOT creeping charlie (aka- ground ivy)...
Persistence
@firebrandsgirl Thanks, I will let her know that I was more then embarrassed to ask. hahaah.
Parcc test
"Copyright".... good decision
😘🙏
great job....thanks for the meat
Oh, Deene. My coworker wanted to find out if you are single. :)
Throw in a wanton woman and you've got a deal...
These look like the plants I have in my tank.
