I have the distinction of being this channels very first subscriber. I was following wild food uk's website in my first mushroom foraging season. I was only foraging one year prior to that.... Bout 7 or 8 years ago
Herb Bennett... Geum urbanum.. Is herb bennet same. as wood avens? ... Geum rivale is a more beautiful native marginal for ponds... Marsh avens or water avens maybe? Many plants have several common names...
My mum has a large lavender patch that she maintains meticulously every year - when it's in full bloom we call it "Bumble Hotel" because the amount of bees is incredible!
I’m a new discoverer of these pearls of wisdom. What a find! So nice to ‘meet’ your new arrival too. Huge congratulations on Bonnie and finishing the book. Only one of those two will give you a maintenance-free return :)
one of the best you tube channels i have ever watched, absolutely fascinating. If I was a tv producer i would be knocking at your door. Why isnt there a tv show where you go out forgaing and then make a dish from the finds? Awesome and a huge thank you.
He he he!.....I have a mate who was accused of felling trees in a public place, he's currently being investigated by special branch! his two mates ran off, they say they are now looking for tree fellers!
@@landedzentry I have another mate who is in hospital in Germany after taking the wrong highway exit in the snow and crashing into the gate of the local sausage factory. Just had an update. The doctors say he's taken a turn for the wurst.
Will be buying the book shortly, quickly became my favourite TH-cam channel and has really got me starting a new hobby of foraging, combining my love of nature, food and freebies! Perfect ❤️
Great video as ever. Definitely getting the book, and one final point, congratulations on the arrival of your beautiful baby. This channel should have far more subscribers for the knowledge it provides.
Love the fact that Marlo's garden is just full of weeds but edible weeds! Actually seems as though Marlo is allowing and encouraging weedy edibles. Most gardens if left to grow in a similar way would produce lots of edible plants - although Marlo's garden seems to be pretty large. Congratulations for the new born and hope you're all doing well.
Thank you Marlow. I live in continental Europe and I was told that book is relevant to UK plants. Upon my insistence it was sent to me and I must say I am very happy. It is not my only source of information but is really well done. Good, concise descriptions and photos with enough plants and mushrooms for any novice forager I think. I will limit myself to 5-6 plants and 3-4 mushroom species. It should be enough. I am loving it. Thanks
Thank you for another fine video. I really enjoy your informative and relaxed presenting style. Congratulations on the birth of your daughter, Bonnie. Stay well, and stay safe.
I wish I had found you channel during the shutdowns or before. It's a wonderful series. After reading comments I agree, you should have a TV or cable series. Great information and very relaxing and calming. We need that for sure in these times. Congratulations on your little bundle. Sweet family.
Excellent knowledge - and will be following from here on. Thank you for sharing all your wisdom with us... :-) And massive Congratulations to Mom and Dad with the healthy and vibrant new member of the family... Thank you for all the work (foraging Pocket Guide) - Cant wait for it to arrive!
Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! Following your work from over here in Ireland. Excellent content.Well presented and full of amazing facts. I took a wander along a remote river bank yesterday and was delighted to be able to recognize Giant Hog Weed from your previous videos. I will buy your book today. Thank you.
Fantastic refresher course on the abundance of wild edibles available at the moment. Really hope to come on another of your foraging courses when circumstances permit. We loved your Yorkshire Dales one last year... even the 2 year old was kept happy with several helpings of your delicious mushroom soup! So lovely to see you guys have a little one now too.. enjoy this crazy new journey that is parenthood!!
Identified every plant before you named it after your other videos,apart from ground elder.Great refresher video again .Thank you ,congratulations on the new addition to your family 👍👍
You failed to identify and name the ground elder as you clearly aren't a vegetable gardener, if you were you would surely know everything there is to know about the ground elder and its rhizomes, which by the way, can replicate from a section no more than a couple of mm long. It really is the veg gardeners nemesis!
I've got the book, it's outstanding! I love these videos so much, so easy to follow and informative. Thanks for all of it, Marlo. I'm about to watch the videos again and take my own notes (to keep in the back of my book!). Very happy to find you can eat ground elder! Blinkin' stuff gets everywhere!! Hope you're both enjoying parenthood, 18 months later! ;)
Just subscribed and bought your pocket guide. Been foraging for 10 years plus but you've already shown me a number of plants i didn't know about! Going to search for herb bennet tomorrow as I use a lot of cloves. Keep up the good work and congratulations on your baby!
Marlow, I have the book, wow a lot to get through but this is the best book I've found so far because it actually has real photos of the plants, more than one on each page showing different stages, leaves, stems etc and all you need to know with the warning red lines etc which is good. A lot of other books just have drawings which are not as effective. I spend a lot of time in North Devon, West Somerset, Exmoor, hiking, fly fishing (also hunting, shooting in the past) and am interested in bushcraft, Archaeology etc, and are usually surrounded by a myriad of trees, plants, shrubs and see quite a few fungi, but have never picked them because don't know what they are. At the end of August I found a wonderfully small bush consisting of blackberries, Blae or Blueberries and Hawthorn berries, all happlily growing intertwined together and tried a few blackberries that were ripe of course but wasn't sure about the others. Your book will be in my pack from now on, so I guess its just a case of seeing something then finding it in the book and making sure? I am hoping to be starting a tree course from January and will be checking your website for foraging courses for next year too. Great video's too, I can relate to the same things I see when walking around or when I am sitting amongst them making tea by the river!
Hi Marlow, after all this lockdown is done I really need to do one if your mushroom courses. I love my mushrooms always see loads when I go out for hikes and day camps but am so nervous about picking them to eat. Love watching your videos.
Gr8 series, very informative and given an added dimension to my countryside walks. I no longer just walk down a lane, I actively investigate the hedgerows (with your book in hand!). Only concern is I fear you ate that lily of the valley leaf by mistake?? Hope u were okay. Thanks
Love this channel! Just thought I'd add that there probably should be a proviso on the statement that all of the mint family are edible - namely that it depends on your geographical region. I know of two that are psychoactive, so you wouldn't necessarily want to eat them (Coleus scutellarioides and Salvia divinorum).
Had to watch this again as i thought I’d found one of the plants in my garden. I noticed thought that at 19:40ish you took a bite out of the one you said was Lilley of the Valley. Was it?! It’s funny because it goes from one hand to the other earlier in the video when you were explaining wild garlic!
A lot of people thought that. It was actually another wild garlic leaf I picked. There was no Lily of the Valley there. I pick it up and say lily of the valley looks like this. :)
Rosehips are good raw once they’ve been bletted by frost, just suck out the flesh and leave the seeds and skin. If they’re a bit soft and wrinkly but still red they should be good.
It's so interesting to me that you don't make desserts with lavender and you don't like the burdock stalk as a vegetable; they're two of my favorite things to forage! Always good to remember how subjective these things are for what's "worth the effort."
Didn't know about the book, i'll definitely be getting it as soon as i'm employed again. Anyways i'm curious how you got in to foraging in the first place?
When I was young my Nan used to take me out looking for mushrooms. Then at 11 we moved to quite a rural part of Scotland where the teachers took us out on nature rambles. I've always loved nature, and I love good food, plus I find mushrooms fascinating :).
Hey guys, cant wait to get this lockdown over so I can sign up to one of your courses! You mention cherry, I have a cherry laurel in my garden. Where does that fit in?
I was experimenting with various ways of cooking nettles a few years ago. I had what I thought was the great idea of crisping some up in hot oil, similar to crispy seaweed . This was a poor and extremely unpleasant experience, one I can only describe as eating finely broken glass.

i second this!!
I agree, very thorough
He is, you're watching it.

I am shocked that this channel doesnt have more subscribers.

I subbed after the first video I saw
The politics of virus admirers put some off I thought.

Excellent video. Need to learn my plants, very helpful.
another great video
Thanks for the Pineapple weed tips, i have tons near me! I think you have sparked an interest in foraging with me!
I used to make itching powder out of rose hips haha
Thanks for teaching me the correct way to say chervil, I've been saying it wrong for yeas 😂😂 have to re program my brain now
Thank you for this info i will try some of these wild edibles
Can confirm the green garlic seed pods are kickarse. They have a kick comparable to a garlic clove.
And collect them when they go black, but before the seed pods split and they disappear, chuck them into a pepper mill for a garlic finish 👍
Cant believe you get thumbs down lol 😃. You must have some jealous foraging competition 😃😃 . Lots of thumbs up from me 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Really interesting 🧐
Rose vodka....! Now I have a job for my rose bush. Thanks.
Hahaha, I bought your book online and found your videos afterwards 😂
Absolutely love the content on this channel, try do a clip on mugwort if you can find any😊
I think I heard you put burdock arctium in the Dock family rumex. And didn't mention the tasty rumex... lovely sorrel docks... Sharp like apple skins.
Hi Marlow, after all this lockdown is done I really need to do one if your mushroom courses. I love my mushrooms always see loads when I go out for hikes and day camps but am so nervous about picking them to eat. Love watching your videos.

hopefully not ;)

When he was talking about the nettles I thought he said Coniine and was really confused because that’s one of the main poisons in hemlock
Amazing and informative video.
Question :) is the chicken of the woods harming the cherry tree? Or they have a symbiotic relationship? Thx
Its doing harm, and can eventually kill the tree I believe, then it eats the dead wood too...
Rosehips are good raw once they’ve been bletted by frost, just suck out the flesh and leave the seeds and skin. If they’re a bit soft and wrinkly but still red they should be good.
'....at least 3 more weeks' made me giggle.... crikey

I was experimenting with various ways of cooking nettles a few years ago. I had what I thought was the great idea of crisping some up in hot oil, similar to crispy seaweed . This was a poor and extremely unpleasant experience, one I can only describe as eating finely broken glass.
I am committing this information into my brain so I never try this, thanks for the heads up!
Did this yesterday, funnily enough. Can confirm - not good.
I add rose petals to my rhubarb jam.
Did anyone else notice the chap ate the leaf from the lily of the valley then put it in his pocket. eeekk
