    I know people on here will appreciate this..I found a new area with loads of wild garlic today..around 10 minutes walk from my house! I am so happy. Made wild garlic pesto and also froze some. Intend to make pats of wild garlic butter too for use with most foods. So happy! Really appreciate your channel too. My main go to when learning new plants.

    I’m an experienced forager. I can always tell the difference between cow parsley and hemlock. But I will still never pick cow parsley to eat. It only takes one small plant next to the other and a temporary lapse in concentration and you’re dead. It isn’t worth it. It’s a good rule to live by.

    • @Suzitao
      @Suzitao 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I agree. I thought I was just being a wuss as have been foraging quite a few years now but yes..unless maybe a survival situation, not really worth the risk I think.

      ​@@Suzitao You're not going to survive any longer by eating cow parsley, so still pointless to eat it in a survival situation

    The wild garlic and nettle soup sounds great, I would know exactly where to get it back home in Scotland (maybe a month or so later) but need to have a wonder around here in London to find some, luckily I'm right beside some great woodland so you never know!

    Sometimes yt algorithms are beneficial: sent me to your video. So glad! Grateful as I am for content from USA (and Oz), it's really lovely to have UK content: relatable, same resources available, more likely to match "climate zones" - which is just for starters. Your video is well shot, informative, varied enough to not be slow but not too fast for beginners like me! Thank you. Keep enjoying and sharing.

    I've got some wild garlic in my back garden, a couple of dozen little bulbs were bought for me last year and I planted as many as I could fit into in our small garden (which was already thoroughly planted, but as all gardeners know, when you want to put something new in you do your damnedest to find space!). It looks as though they're all coming back this year, though I'm considerably further north in the country than the creator of this video (I envy the lovely stuff he finds on his coastal trips, in particular) and the garden is quite shady in a lot of spots, so the plants have only started emerging in the last week or two. Perhaps it's time for me to go down the side of the river, see if the wild garlic, nettles and common hogweed are ready for picking. I'll be looking forward to seeing how strongly the wild garlic grows this year.

      Nice I dont think it minds the shade..if it grows in ireland it must be Hardy as! I must try to get some did you buy them or did the person take them from the wild? I've never seen them for sale. I'm terrible at growing thus so I cod myself that I have grown"" a patch of nettles and pick those to make soup. I want to try to grow beans and things but I just haven't the energy to dig up the grass and make a plot ..its getting very overgrown now.

    • @samuel56551

      @@PadraigpMy dad bought them for me; it was from a garden centre, I believe it was the one at RHS Harlow Carr or else it might have been from a nearby stately home that also has a garden. I don't know whether they are commonly sold at regular garden centres, I've never thought to enquire, might be worth asking a member of staff if you visit one. Wild garlic certainly seems easy to grow, I just poked them into spare bits of soil, often very shady as I've said above, and they are coming back strong this year. I like your attitude towards the nettles, they are tasty and good for you, so why not make use of them :)

      @Padraigp 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @danyoutube7491 thank you im in ireland so we dont have a lot of good garden centers. We do have a place called seed savers that does heritage varieties I might try them. They have things like salsify and lovage...herbs I haven't seen or heard of except as a kid. Yeah I mean there's a lot more nettles than I can reasonably eat so I may need to employ a goat this year! 🤔 good luck and good weather to you!

I like the taste of them herbs too. Especially "new" nettle. I hope for the weekend to make scrumble eggs with nettle. Nettle, as we know good source of K, for skin and hair.
    I will have to have look on your previous videos. They look very interesting.

      Garlic galore, it covers the forest floor,
      Like a SEA OF GREEN with snowdrops along the shore,
      narcissust's are everywhere,
      The futures bright with herbs to share,
      Nettles are the abundant givers,
      If you want nutrition they sure do deliver,
      Protein, amino acids, & silicates,
      Top up the serotonin , they make you feel great,
      And the orange roots maintain the prostate.
      Taste like green tea, but caffeine free,
      The tiny needles look alot like THC.
      Pick them & dry them, ignoring the pain!
      They look alot like my best friend "MARY-JANE!"
      I woke up speaking in riddles & rhymes,
      Like a leprechaun, this happens all the time.
      i answer a questions in a cryptic way,
      Life inspires us all every blessed day.

For those local to calderdale it is served historically at this time of year with a full English. It is...new nettle tops, bistort leaves, onions, seasoning and a handful of oats. Fried in the bacon fat. Am sure plant based folks could do similar. Intend to try it and will try to go in april. I will be making it without the oats but may sub for something I can eat.

    If a nettle sting is bothering you, put as hot water as you can tolerate for a few seconds on it, it’ll fix it! But don’t burn yourself, as if that needs to be said.

    Really enjoy your videos. Is the goose grass/ clever tips you mentioned first the same ones that stick to you when they get bigger? They look the same as the ones we get in our London garden and surrounding area.

    What a beautiful area to live in. Do you dry any of the garlic and grind it to make a garlic salt?

      Yes I love garlic salt 😁

    I grow wild garlic in two large troughs, I know how well it spreads! I love that it is my first harvest of the spring on the allotment. I make wild garlic butter and freeze it in discs for use all year. What a treat 😋.

      I love wild garlic butter too 😁

    Trying to brush up on leaf recognition skills, is the plant that you put the basket on top of at 3:44 common hogweed?

    Thanks for lovely video but surprised that you didn't find any Sorrel. I have it in abundance here in West Cork and it is delicious to nibble on. Does it grow here and not where you are because we have very acid soil?

    • @UKWILDCRAFTS
      @UKWILDCRAFTS  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks 😁. Yes lots of sorrel up but didn’t pick any this walk

    Good video. Nice hoody, and you missed the primrose Lol :) ohh and can you do a video comparing young fox glove and comfrey, also I thought I found grape Hyacinth/musacri but it may have been young bluebell so a comparison video on that would also be good.

    My early days I came so close to mistaking hemlock for chervil.
    I now feel expert in hemlock lol.
    Slightly dark green leaves, purple dots, hairless and round hollow stems.its crazy how similar as If Satan designed the hemlock himself.

    damn you!!! lol love the vidoes but i get so jealous of the stuff you can find!! curious how you know where to go, Im in stoke in the midlands and would love to find wild garlic in abundance like you have, are there any sort of websites or maps or anything that you know of with places to go and look? any info would be great to be honest, even like hiking trails and stuff would be ideal as i assume thats what alot of the places your finding stuff is?
    thanks again for the great videos and stuff, really do enjoy it and wich you all the best and continued success!

  • @RockMusicEnjoyer
    @RockMusicEnjoyer 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Should I be worried about wild garlic/nettles containing heavy metals if they're growing in certain areas, or am I just being paranoid? A neighbour advised me not to forage because the area supposedly used to be some kind of mine which was then filled in as a waste dump

  • @meaningfulmakings

    Really amazing video. As usual. The comparison between cow parsley and hemlock was great. Really informative but as you say I’m steering well clear. Just not worth it.

    Do note that ear mushrooms can give you nausea and diarrhea thanks to the mycotoxins they produce when wet so better prepare them well.... Speaking from experience unfortunately
