I hope that after watching the video you have learnt something that interests you and you give me a thumbs up!
Please do go find me on my website, www.wildfoodsandwilderness.com, there is a tonne of information that I have put on it about all sorts of edible palnts, mushrooms and even trees!
Thank you and have a great day,

Thank you !! And greetings from Dorset, Ontario - (the province with 250,000 lakes) or so.💫
Hello Dorset Ontario! I really LOVE the area up there and have some wonderful times fishing largemouth and pike ( with beer of course)
Thank you for the information 😊
I am overrun with Japanese Knotweed I just pulled a bunch of it out of the ground this afternoon 🙄 it’s a right pain in my ass lol.
I like rhubarb maybe I should be harvesting it.
Mine are just about a foot tall at this point the ones I didn’t pull out of the ground that is interesting!
Casey!! TOTALLY get stuck in! Try my receipt for crumble it's freaking awesome..you won't believe how good it is👍👍👍👍👍
You’ve knocked another one out of park … well done!
I TRY to emulate your filming and video technique...try...😂😂
Melanie i have come to you from the woodland escape, a friend of mine and I spent 5 days with Peter and Cathy at there place. Gary and I helped set one if the corner stones for the block house of the fort or should say Kelly Station. I am in the states in Ohio and huge into the Native American culture more the Ojibwe. I told Peter I would love to come to Kelly's station while you are there. My native name is IIByrds. Thanks Larry be safe
Hello Larry! Peters channel is AWESOME! :)
Lol...I
I''m a Fukawi
Very interesting Thanks for sharing Melanie
You are so welcome thank you!
I grow some that we call Indian thumbprint . Gorgeous plant.
It's easily contained in my yard. Zone 7a East Tennessee mountains...USA
...glad yer a living historian, otherwise the alternative is no new videos😊
That's really interesting ..and especially as us Brits introduced it to the Americas! I wonder where that name for it originated..fascinating..t! Thanks. :)
@@MelanieSawyerForager Did some digging, it's called "red dragon". Unlike most knotweeds, it doesn't really spread.
Persicaria microcephala 😊
Thank you! One suggestion if I might; figure a way to turn up volume.
Hello Angie.. I'm saving up to buy a microphone!! When I did my video with Peter Kelly and Catherine I was so impressed ( and inspired) by how they filmed!
You can steep the roots in vodka to make a useful tincture.
Agreed! I prefer to make powder :) another video is coming out about it and it's medical properties.. primarily focusing on lynes disease
Way more USEFUL information than I thought I would be getting presented with a sprinkle humor - what's not to love ?! I guess this means that you have a new subscriber and I'm happy to have stumbled upon your site !
Thank you..and Welcome! :)
It's in Ireland as well, it destroys houses by cracking the foundations. Great vidio
Bloody hell! No wonder he found it growing in lava!
Knotweed is all along the Pine creek valley in Pa. For erosion control. I'm not a fan of it. But at least it has other purposes.....thanks.
Erosion control, that makes great sense as it grows so quickly.. I had thought only willow was used! Cheers for the new info!! :) mel
Very good 👍
Pickled knotweed is good
I forgot about pickling it!!!
I like rubarb strawberry pie. If you chew old rubarb stalks and spit out the fiber, it helps with constipation. Just don't overdo it.
We used to call it snake weed
Interesting!!
🇧🇩🆗
Thank you :)
You say it tastes like rhubarb and can also make a "crisp" topping. Could it be used in a pie, like a strawberry rhubarb pie?
Absolutely!!
@@MelanieSawyerForager Thank you! Looking forward to making a pie!!
Very good 👍
Pickled knotweed is good
You could do cured, with salt, like sauerkraut. Or both. I have had homemade chili sauce cooked and pureed with salt and vinegar end up developing a nice lacto culture after as well. I think the thin oil layer on top helped.
