@GrapeSkoda But we was never taught this stuff, it’s the last thing they want the population to know, people would be wanting more Wilderness, and not be such good consumers.
Your video is great, really concise and informative, thank you very much. As time has moved on, unless you are vulnerable, hopefully we all now know that keeping away from each other is not the right thing to do for what is flu, it’s one of the ways we build our immune system. I hope you are enjoying every precious moment with your…toddler now!
Just found you, will be digesting everything I can. As a serious veg grower here in the UK I feel I needed more info on wild edibles, looks like I have found exactly what I need!
just brought your book, as got into foraging and your videos have really helped me and my 6 year old daughter identity plants and mushrooms 🍄.. Its made our woodland walks even more interesting.
What a brilliant video, I'm just getting into foraging and bushcraft so it's all new to me, thanks for sharing your knowledge and making it easy to understand. Congratulations to you and your family. Keep safe.
Funnily enough, it may have just been my teacher was passionate about nature, but i learned tons of stuff about trees and plants from my Primary School teacher. I still have my old School jotter with tree leaves in it we sellotaped, and were graded how we correctly identified them. He did use our school days out to take us to zoos too, even though it was clear he didn't like zoos. I am fifty though, so things may have changed in the current education system. I must also mention Marlowe's content, very informative, engaging, useful, and a great guide to identifying food you can forage...wonderful!
I put my last find of St George's on a pizza, with chopped wild garlic and local asparagus. Garlic butter base and a few spring onions. Was really good!
You're a top man! I love your videos, a great tonic in these testing time. Congratulations to you and your wife, I can only guess at the stress that you have been through, but you are still so positive, a great inspiration to us all. Keep safe, all the best, Steve.
Thank you so much for a fascinating video. I love your clear botanical explanations. I love your enthusiasm. I have bought your book as a present for myself and another as a present for a friend. Best wishes to you, your wife and your little one and keep the foraging videos coming!
Late to the party, but congratulations Marlo on your little baby. Never thought a foraging video could put tears in my eyes but the last few seconds of this one did. I feel you man, went through something similar. Love your work, please keep it up!
Congratulations on your wee newborn! It sounds like your family went through quite an ordeal but am glad all is well. Where I live in Canada we still have a lot of snow (since October). So, your foraging video was a huge breath of fresh air...so lovely to see green grass and vegetation. Can't wait for foraging season! There is nothing I'd rather do than forage for hours and hours, losing all track of time, immersed in nature. Thank you so much! Really looking forward to your videos this year, particularly those on fungi.
Congratulations to both you and your wife Marlow, and as many others have mentioned it is lovely to see you back in front of the camera. Thank you for taking us with you on this walk and I am thoroughly looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos. Stay safe and enjoy the time you've been blessed with your family. 🙏🏼
I think it's called Achilles the yarrow plant because the story goes that when Achilles got shot in the heel (Achiiles heel fame) he used yarrow to stem the blood as it creates clotting.
No giant hog weed mention. Yet. ...5:35 .....im still learning this family.. hey found a really ripe yew tree. And had a month full of Berry's.. and spat out the seeds which is very hard to do for the first time. . V v nice. Oh and the fushure Berry's are puka... Top top tip ... Love u man . Wild food UK is my go to channel for foraging.
Congratulations to you and your wife, and thanks for the video. One of the 1st things I want to do post pandemic is attend one of your courses, looking forward to it!
Dandelions . Leaves great ..roots once dried, scrubbed and dried ground down once fully dried ..makes coffee ..like camp coffee from years ago ( coffee with chicory)
I am just getting into foraging and loved your video. Congratulations to you and your wife and your new addition to the family - who is now a year old! I am so glad your experience with the NHS was positive. I'm afraid one year on I find it hard to be so positive. What a shame. But keep on foraging and putting it out there
Loving your video. Please could you zoom into the plants more in future videos? Some plants, I'm unsure exactly how it looks like. Thank you for your content!
Thank you Marlow for sharing your extensive knowledge! So glad you and your family are home now. We’re missing Wild Food UKs Spring Courses, hopefully we’ll see you again in the Autumn.
@@DaemonSmurf You can only eat stuff safely if you can clearly distinguish it from stuff that's unsafe. These are definitely things that are good to know.
@@DaemonSmurf Very well said Simon Templar and Andrew Barrett. We're busy people in a world of information overload. Less quantity, more quality please.
Such a great intro to foraging, thanks. Another thing that's free to forage at the moment is vitamin D and if you've been following Dr. John Campbell you'll know that's a great thing to get for free, especially right now. Thanks.
Cheers Marlow at-al, great vid and good advice. How nice to have a new video to help with the cabin fever! And Congratulations to you and your family! all the best to locked down foragers everywhere :-)
Congratulations on your new addition! I love your videos, very informative and given in friendly manner, your passion to share comes through very strongly, a big thank you for teaching me more about the land I live in
Absolutely wonderful video once again Marlow! A great little refresher on some plants I already know, and definitely some new ones there for me too. Congratulations on your new baby! I also have a newborn, I had my first baby on the 15th March. It's a strange time to become a parent and I pictured late spring foraging trips with baby in a sling, but looks like the Spring edibles will mostly have to wait for next year for us. Looking forward to Part 2! :)
Thanks Marlow, great informative video, Very emotional at the end! Hope you and your family are safe and well and the new little one is growing well, Can't wait till your courses start again x
Congrats on the baby to you and your wife! Yes, a big thanks to the NHS. Thank you for these videos. Did one of the courses at Blenheim Palace last year and have been foraging since. Cooked up a hogweed and garlic mustard thoran today - a kerala preparation with coconut, green chillies and seasoned with mustard seeds. I read the pocket guide most days so have a good theoretical knowledge of most of the plants but need more practical experience. Will look out for St George's mushroom but not sure of any others.
Herb Robert is not very nice to eat but an infusion of fresh or dried leaves is a good painkiller. Just make sure you sweeten it to taste, otherwise it's awful. I have chronic pain issues and use this plant a lot, it grows like crazy in my garden. Youn goose grass (or sticky Mickey as it's called in my area) makes lovely pesto.
I often collect dock and make a delicious dock soup with potatoes, sour cream and boiled egg. I always thought that only hawthorn fruits are edible. You surprised me with these leaves :D
Great vid man. I'm always impressed by your intimate knowledge of the subject and I always learn something. I could really use your expertise for a day here in the Highlands. Lots of edibles about but little confidence to pick them, and a wife who understandably doubts my ability to not poison her. Lol Thanks again.
Great video and congratulations on the new born. We were booked in with you in may but sadly the lockdown ruined that but we will see you soon hopefully!
Funny how humans get twisted up with idiotic societal norms and end up in the bamboozled zone. They should be learning from you but you obviously lost the plot like most adults. Sorry for the painful truth 😁😁
I've done a course every year with Wild Food UK for the past 3-4 years in different places and times. Really hoping some courses still happen this year.
I've found Lidybeige's little brother who talks about nicer things! 14:39 Your explanation of "maculatum" always makes me smile. "not immaculate". Talk about your double negative. More directly "macula" means 'spot', 'mark', 'stain'. so "maculatum" is 'spotted'. But 'immaculate' of course has found its way into the English language, so your explanation may be easier to remember.
As a kid we called them 'wee the bed' so same as French. Remember first time someone gave me dandelion leaves in a salad. They were young leaves and I still eat them. I find them delicious.
Thanks for video. Enjoyed it. I would say however that "Doc" leaves actually do help with stinging nettles. I went and tried it out myself as could remember doing it as a kid and I swear it works. If somehow this involves some placebo effect then I'm lost in this world because well..... it works for me ! :)
Also just incase you ever feel like testing yourself. You scrunch up the entire doc leave and rub affected area really fast with pressure. I'm going to have to set up a test one day to find out if this is real or indeed placebo. Hey, I've 5 leaves here and one will cure stinging , the others will not, ok, now you rub the nettle on your wrist and well begin. Might take me a while to find someone willing haha
Funny how we have to learn from this guy something we should have learned in school as a kid
Yes isn't this just the worst. I'm learning in my near 40s what I needed to learn throughout my childhood.
Parents, teachers, friends, let us all be motivated to share our knowledge, especially with the young uns 👍
Why teach independence when you can create wage slaves
Right On! especially now in these increasingly uncertain times and uncertain future.
@GrapeSkoda But we was never taught this stuff, it’s the last thing they want the population to know, people would be wanting more Wilderness, and not be such good consumers.
the uncle i never had....this guy is so cool

You punny bar steward
Very much the same im something of a serious grower and am looking to extend to wild sources mainly for fun
Thanks for the info just started foraging and this info is pure gold
Thanks so much for taking the time with these videos. I'm new to foraging and this is gold.
Congratulations on your new baby
just brought your book, as got into foraging and your videos have really helped me and my 6 year old daughter identity plants and mushrooms 🍄.. Its made our woodland walks even more interesting.

its a looong journey
Congratulations Marlow. You are a legend- keep them coming!! Enjoy your baby. It gets easier by the way!

Bravo, for the positive message surrounding Covid. We have to be alive to help rebuild. And thank you for the wonderful video.
Stay safe everyone💞💫
CONGRATULATIONS to you both and God bless you all, stay safe!
Wow! Your child is going to have some magical walks in the woods. Thanks for the video and have subscribed.
You're a top man! I love your videos, a great tonic in these testing time. Congratulations to you and your wife, I can only guess at the stress that you have been through, but you are still so positive, a great inspiration to us all. Keep safe, all the best, Steve.

Excellent video. We used to make horse raddish sauce when we were kids back in the 80's. Picked it from the riverbank.
Late to the party, but congratulations Marlo on your little baby. Never thought a foraging video could put tears in my eyes but the last few seconds of this one did. I feel you man, went through something similar. Love your work, please keep it up!

Great and clear information from a humble person, top stuff!!
This video sparked my passion for plants.Thanks so much
Yes, I totally like these videos. I've just started foraging in my garden, and I need some tips! Thank you. ❤️

Really enjoyed the new format. Thanks!

Love this back to basics, I've been watching your videos for a while, but this is extremely useful thank you.

I've have just came across your channel 👍🏽 amazing thank you!
Now time to binge on your videos and congratulations on the birth of your child 🤜🏾🤛
At long last, our man Marlow back on the forage.
You: Now this one...
Me: Ooh, that looks nice. I'll remember that one.
You: ... is poisonous.
haha
Yep..More than once haha.. I decided after the first time, yeah I'm taking a book with me .. confused much 😆.. Great video tho.
Lol, instead of showing us loads of stuff we can't eat how about showing us what we can safely eat!
@@DaemonSmurf You can only eat stuff safely if you can clearly distinguish it from stuff that's unsafe. These are definitely things that are good to know.

I loved this video. It was a good introduction to foraging.
Watch a lot of Your Video's keep up the good work Marlow
Congrats on the baby to you and your wife! Yes, a big thanks to the NHS. Thank you for these videos.

Nice video. You too stay safe. We'll be ok 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good to see you again and congratulations on the family news! Your NHS story is similar to ours so I know exactly where you're coming from.
Watched all your other videos, this is a great refresher video .Look forward to part 2
Just stumbled across your channel - you should be on TV!
Great video. I can't wait to watch more.
I've just found this video.. Boy I'm glad ✌️ thank you
Herb Robert is not very nice to eat but an infusion of fresh or dried leaves is a good painkiller. Just make sure you sweeten it to taste, otherwise it's awful.
I have chronic pain issues and use this plant a lot, it grows like crazy in my garden.
Youn goose grass (or sticky Mickey as it's called in my area) makes lovely pesto.
Enjoyed the video. Under lockdown 2 now. Thanks.
Nice one thanks mate thought you were looking extra cheery for some reason congrats on the birth of your child
I often collect dock and make a delicious dock soup with potatoes, sour cream and boiled egg. I always thought that only hawthorn fruits are edible. You surprised me with these leaves :D
Great vid, Marlow. Congratulations to you and Rachel, and I hope to get on another walk with you guys soon!
you have the hand movements of a close up magician and I love it
Great vid man. I'm always impressed by your intimate knowledge of the subject and I always learn something. I could really use your expertise for a day here in the Highlands. Lots of edibles about but little confidence to pick them, and a wife who understandably doubts my ability to not poison her. Lol Thanks again.
i was wondering when the first video of the year would come! great info, thanks marlow, congrats and do stay safe.
This is information of the gods.. Thank you sir!
Truly amazing!!!!💓💓💓 thank you so much!!!
Wonderful stuff..and congratulations.
Congrats bro, I've learned alot from you in your vids, thankyou and best wishes for your family 🙏🏾👍🏿
Thank you, Arlo! We are foraging in our social distancing life which is kind of normal for nerds like us.
Great video and congratulations on the new born. We were booked in with you in may but sadly the lockdown ruined that but we will see you soon hopefully!
Recently found your channel. Greatstuff and thankyou, still i struggle qwith the Parsley family.....all the best fae west of scotland!!
cheers for this mate, I know a bit, but fun to expand your noggin' knowledge
Parabéns!!! ✨💛✨...enjoy the magic...we can learn so much from newborns as they transition into this world. It truly is wondrous! 🌻✨
Funny how humans get twisted up with idiotic societal norms and end up in the bamboozled zone. They should be learning from you but you obviously lost the plot like most adults. Sorry for the painful truth 😁😁
Great stuff just booked one of your courses so see you soon
New to the channel , this is what I want to see on TH-cam 👍 best wishes and keep up the great work
Congratulations to you and your wife on the birth of your newborn 👍
Lovely video thanks
Awesome stuff

watching this video june 2021 still in covid mode. Great informative video.
Love it, subbed!
Thank you for the video my friend, very informative, and very helpful - subscribed 🙂
congratulations on the birth of your child. Keep up the good work :)
It’s amazing that just in that one small section of the road, there are so many wild edibles.
Thank you for this 💙🙏🏻🕊
i love your content very very good content i can relate alot of this information to the new zealand wilds
Love your work mate, hope all is well 👍👍🍻
Great stuff, thanks for sharing 👍
As a kid we called them 'wee the bed' so same as French. Remember first time someone gave me dandelion leaves in a salad. They were young leaves and I still eat them. I find them delicious.
The docks are not in the same family as burdocks. The docks are of the buckwheat family, and the burdocks are in the Aster family.
Great video
Thanks for sharing . Greetings. Take care
this has been a great inspiration .. thanks so much
brilliant video - stay safe
