Madrone doesnt like having the roots disturbed, but advanced gardeners can and do grow them from seed. Also! A crafty nursery has started germinating seeds in biodegradable pots so saplings can be planted without disrupting the roots. This has led to greater success for cultivation.

My budget has been so tight the past month that I’ve been making extreme budget meals. It makes me want to get really good at foraging. I grew up here in WA state eating wild blackberries, salmon berries, huckleberries, and clover (or maybe wood sorrel 😅) Last year my husband foraged a bunch of beautiful chanterelles that I used on homemade pizza and in pasta. I just noticed I have purslane in my garden that I’m going to try in a salad. Foraging feels empowering and I really want to get better at it! Edit: those cleavers are what leaves those sticky balls all over my cats. I always think it’s so cute when they come home covered in those sticky balls 😂

I'm foraging in the Caribbean where there is an over abundance of wild edibles...from a variety of Amaranths to Water Grass to use as natural eye-drops. Many of them appear spontaneously in my garden which has gradually become a wild foraging garden with many medicinal "weeds" as well. We also have a deeply rooted tradition of herbal treatments for everything that ails the body so I concoct various dried "Bush Tea" blends from my fully organically grown selections. Keep up the great work.

He mentions the tragic death of Chris McCandless--and it was very tragic. And completely avoidable. He thought he was being poisoned by the berries mentioned, when he was really suffering from starvation. Although they weren't highly nutritious, if he'd eaten MORE of them, he probably would have survived. A survey was done shortly after finding his body, and it was learned that there were something like 200 edible wild plants within a 200-foot radius of his campsite. He went into the wilderness thinking it was a romantic adventure, and that Nature would magically provide for him--but with little in the way of practical skills. Nature is unforgiving of ignorance, whether negligent or willful. It's sad, because he would have had a lot to offer the world in the way of insights if he'd survived and prospered. I LOVE the use of the real-time close-up shots in this video! It really helps to identify the plants.
