I love it when you show the magnified images. That's what's really missing from a lot of field guides, and even online resources. You do an awesome Job man, and I really appreciate all your hard work.

Makes me sad when I was a kid and was hungry I went inside to get a snack...I could have been eating in my yard the whole time and saved myself so much time 😂

Thank you for sharing this valuable information. It's wonderful what Nature provides for us all if we just take the time and connect.

Green Deans foraging trips in Florida are amazing! Cant wait for Sunday’s class is West Palm! Its incredible what you can find and enjoy just around the corner from your own house! Love the videos too!

For crying out loud! I have a gold mine of rare weeds in my yard, and the neighbors don’t know I’m rich.

My grandfather used to treat hogs for collora using poke weed root. He would boil the root in water. Then strain off the water into a long necked wine bottle. Stick the bottle down the hogs throat to dose him with about 1/4 of the bottle. Even if the hog was down sick and couldn't get up, this would cure the hog of collora. He too would pick the young leaves as greens. Great videos!!!

Oh my goodness Mr! If I lived where you are fortunate to be, I'd have my pressure canner and dehydrator working 24/7

I started eating green plants, leaves and tree bark about two years ago and all my medical problems are completely gone.

That is pretty clever using the magnifying lens like that! It really makes a difference! 💖

Thank you for the wonderful knowledge to expand our minds. We all can always enjoy gaining useful knowledge that our bodies can enjoy. Now that it is getting warmer here in central Ohio I can go outside or take a stroll in our local state park to explore and forage tasty wild healthy eats for lunch. That is always the best part of Spring. Thanks again for such knowledgeable experience of joyful new beginnings.

OH Happy day! So happy to see a video from you. I live and work on a ranch many miles west of Houston, Texas. After watching most of your vids, I can't help but look everywhere I walk for plants I've seen you talk about. I don't attempt to pick and eat the plants because I don't trust that I remembered all that needs to be remembered about a found plant but it's exciting to search and be aware of the wild foods. The recent rains have awoken many plants from last years drought. Thanks!

You have nicer weeds in your neighbourhood than I do.

Henbit at 13:30 is wonderful salad or dish addition. A great seasonal weed! Thanks for the walk in the neighbor, Dean!

I wish I knew about this guy and his classes when I lived in Florida! What a missed opportunity:-(

I have just discovered your channel and I am very excited. Best I have seen yet to help identify plants. I am learning so much!!

Your videos are ALWAYS worth the time. Education at its' finest.

Good to see you back in front of the camera. Always learn from you. Thanks for sharing. You do such a GREAT job.

Like the way you are a little detail with each edible weed. Just wish you can put the names on the screen so it’s easier to remember & take notes. Thanks for the video.

What a great walkabout, thanks again for sharing with us.You have me smiling again.

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.

Thank you for taking your time out to make all of these resources available. The magnification really helps, by the way.

Richard, your videos are the greatest! Keep up the good work!

Solid Video from 2012 still going strong! Thank you for this.....

your yard is so wonderful! i can't even imagine having citrus in my back yard. i envy you. i have lots of weeds .. about all that will grow in my yard, i will research them now. i have lots of VERY hardy dandelions. i always thought the flowers were so pretty and now that i know how important those roots are i will never try to get rid of them. they are truly so powerful and amazing. thanks for sharing.

Hey deane been watching your vids for a long time on this and my other youtube account, your site and knowledge is an absolutely excellent resource for me and I just want to thank you for doing all this it is truly helpful!

Could you please include common names of these plants....most people don't know or understand the botanical names( Latin ). Thank you this would be most appreciated... 💙💙💙💙

you are so amazing - i can't wait to pick up the flowers and the root of the Dandelion - i have tons of them organic grown in my yard. thank you - Bless your little kind heart

omg God I love these videos.thank you for making them.

Loving that you are in FLORIDA (my state) unlike many other foraging videos which are in Pacific Northwest. Looking forward to all videos in future

Good Lord! You see food where everyone sees weeds! Thank you for this awesome work; you are one of the healers in the next wave! Again thank you! Love you channel!

Thank you for making this video.

Hey, thanks Deane hope to see more videos from you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

@EatTheWeeds definitely need to do a book with regional sections. I read about crete and ever since ive been obsessed with 'urban foraging'. THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

I was here trying to find info on plantago. As always you were more than helpful. Thanks.

Thank you Deane for the video. I've been watching your wonderful videos for a long time now & have thoroughly enjoyed every one. For many reasons I have smiled, laughed & contemplated. But it was not until this one, another benefit was 'unearthed' LOL Not one time in 24:43 did I stress about my bills, or the laundry I have to do, or the noisy neighbors, or, or, or> Hehe. Listening to you describing the plants and their names was so interesting, that my stress just went 'walkabout'. Nice word. :)

Asking this question is part of my Research... As I am a self tought herbalist.. Also I am a Certified Horticulturist. 8:40 sow thistle 16:00 wild lettuce These are the 2 thing you didn't give common name for... EVERYTHING ELSE YOU DID.. Thank you.. 🌿🌿🌿🌿

Outstanding!!! So glad i found you and subscribed!! I've been looking for a FL. Specific field guide to edibles in our yards and off the beaten track. In times like these those with proper Intel may have to resort to grazing in their back yards instead of paying Boo Coo! $$ for traditional greens, veggies and fruit . Wish you had a paper back field guide with great color photos for us old school guys/gals!! I plan on Binge watching this weekend!! Oooh Raah !! Thank You Sir!!

This is the best video you've ever done!

Wow!! I knew God provided all we need in all the various plants and trees!😊 He is sooooo AWESOME! 😘

Great video Green Deane! Love your vids!

Learned a lot, thanks.

Great job on the website.

Your info is AMAZING! U are such a good teacher! Thanks Green Bean! Come to St. Augustine PLEASE!!

I really enjoyed this video, especially the loop feature and the website.

dandelions are very high in nutrition but they taste very bitter. a way Koreans use to cook mindeullae (the korean name for it) is by marinating it in soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and Dried Korean chili powder. it will still be a bit more bitter but it's still very good and is one of my favorite dishes to eat with rice.

FINALLY SPRING IS COMING!!! LOOKIN' FORWARD TO 50-100 NEW VIDEOS FROM YOU G. D.!

Thank you for your videos! Very much appreciated!

You and your vocab is ingenious. Just met you here today,built in meaning associated with weeds,and it’s characteristic is great to know. Thankyou. Purslane stems to be pickled,sounds good. I introduced red Tandaljo(Amaranthus) in my yard,and love it adding daily to my meals(with eggplant). Also freezes well.

Great stuff, love the video, well done.

Very interesting! I have been very curious about the weeds growing around my house! I can identify chickweed and very excited to try it! Thank you! I can't wait to check out more of your videos!

My eyes are bugging out!!! I didn't know all of those weeds are fit for the kitchen! Your videos were referred to me by a subscriber. I am delighted to subscribe to your channel!

Im so impressed. How did you learn the vast amount of information?! Love the videos, keep up the fantastic work sir.

You are awesome deane, im about to go outside and eat some weeds right now lol. Every weed you showed here grows wild and rampant in my yard.

this is so cool this is what I been looking for, thank you 😀

I eat a lot of chickweed but mostly as a juice. Chickweed covers the soil in my garden every spring, uninvited, and now that I have embraced it I see it is a gift and not the bane I believed it was before. lol I find the best chickweed grows in the shadow of something else. the leaves are larger, juicier and softer if grown in a shadow of spring greens and cabbages etc. I add a large handful to my juicing mix of greens (it would amount to a cup) or added to a salad mix.

Love the magnifying glass! thanks for going the extra mile :)

Most of your plants shown are also found in my country. Thanks for sharing as many if them shown are thrown away as weeds, but now I know they're edible. ❤ from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

Always enjoy your videos!

Great video as always, thank you In the first neighbors lawn you visit, there is a healthy groundcover of gotu kola (centella asiatica, Asiatic pennywort). The greens are very bitter but are nutritious and are said to enhance brain function

Bro good presentation… my god much much to eat thanks from Tennessee

Thanks for this! Very interesting to find out some of the weeds in my yard are really edible! I live in the desert so plants are a bit different but I have something to go on.

Ty for ur vids. I'm learning so much from you

I don't make a habit of foraging for plants but do have a garden and fruit trees. Most plants leaves will change color when they stop using chlorophyll to process most of the light and begin using mostly xanthophyll. Chlorophyll gives the leaves the green color and the xanthophyll is more yellow. Reds, purples, and even sometimes blues are caused by anthocyanin.

Nice to see another video from you, and cool that you mentioned mulberry leaves. In some parts of Turkey they also make dolma out of them while they're still light green and tender.

Hi Deane. Loved the very informative video. Thanks so much. I told you about the apple trees that I planted in Southern Ohio. What I just realized is that (as I was growing my little apple seedlings) is that there were all these other weeds that were growing in the pots with them. I quickly dispatched them. I just saw what they were 'errrrr'...Purslane (if that's how you spell it). Darn. Wished I had known. Thanks, now I know!

Star fruit... you must live somewhere warm... Florida, that makes sense! Thanks for the videos!

It's a shame that my association will send us a notice for a cosmetic reason if we keep weeds like this. But it's interesting to see the weeds are edible.

Thank you for you video. 👍

*Thanks, very informative.* subscribed

WOW - Great looking Star Fruit - - I'm so envious !

I like that you put the item up close so that we can see it better 👍🏽

Tonight for dinner I had plantains, dandelion, wild violet and wood sorrel. Not to bad, but not great. Thanks for all the ideas.

I enjoyed your video very openly.

Love your videos

This guy is smart, good teacher.

I have watched only 2 of your videos so far, but I wanted to say that this is great!!! People should know how to forage, for one thing and people should also know plants that are used as a main ingredient in many modern medicines! Zombie apocalypse, seriously you are the guy to go to in Florida!😂😂😂 Are you as experienced with plants in other regions/parts of the country? Since many of the same species turn up in similar regions, are you familiar with other plants from the same species but in different areas of the US? I would truly enjoy watching you travel to different areas of the US and detail the flora you come across on the way!!! Thanks so much for your incredible wealth of knowledge! ❤

Great video 👍

In 5:40 you're showing a plant. And around that plant, if you watch carefully there were circular shaped tiny plants. It's called Gotukola( centella asiatita) which can be eaten like a salad, or stir-fry dish.

Yay a new vid! This one was a long time coming, I thought you broke your camera or something. LOL nice one : )

I have decided to embrace weeds since my gardening experiences have been stressful. Dandelions and lambs quarters are really doing well and so is yellow dock. I've been dehydrating extra to use in meals for the winter. Add to soups and casseroles, meatloaf, my family doesn't even know.

Poke is not that poisonous, only the seeds and the purple/red parts are.. In Japan they eat it all summer long and so do I.. I dry it, can it or freeze it.. I batter and fry tender stems and leaves.. I make jelly, pies and pills from the berries.. I have been eating it all of my seventy years.. I have been cooking and serving it to family and friends for fifty five years.. None of us have ever gotten sick from eating it..

What neighborhood is that? The garden of Eden? Starfruits and all these exotic plants and trees growing like nothing.

Great stuff! Thanks so much for this video! I really enjoyed it!! I just wish you mentioned your location and time of year at the beginning of the video. But it was great!

Thank you !

all so great to know... tkx...

As a baby in the yard my dad found me eating plantain and dandelion I still do 70 years later

Polllution is everywhere. That's the hard part to learn and figure out.

Amazing -thank you for the tour ! People around here in Los Angeles-- I wait until the wee hours and creep down the alleys and the sides of gates and fences and grab what I can- folks around here don't pick or eat their fruit or anything that's growing that's edible, nobody! and they don't want you to pick it or have at it either! I've even often offered to do some work in exchange cleaning up I do landscaping and Japanese gardens ....they don't want any part of it. You wanted their fruit or something edible that they had an abundance of and they just don't want you to have it so I resort to doing a little sneaking it's about most dishonest thing that I do do you can call that survival and it's a shame to see all this wonderful fruit on the trees and the trees want you to pick it and talk to them and hang out . All the other edibles ,and nobody's paying any mind to them, except for maybe... me!

thistle weeds are common in north America mostly sow thistles wild lettuce and dandelion greens star thistles also prickly lettuce and bitter lettuce.

Ty. The children and I found the stacys floridana in the yard and they taste like radishes to us. We used them in stir fry. We had such fun eating weeds. Life lessons are cool sometimes.

Even tho I love herbs/botanicals, I was going to stop watching this thinking it would be just borring useless info... Well did I turn out to be wrong and amazed!!

I LOVE THE LOOOONG VIDEO! PLEASE MAKE MORE LIKE THIS! I'd love a video with just general tips for herbalism! Or tips on brewing mead or some such tutorial or something! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, PLEASE KEEP MAKING MORE!!!

I'm in the Midwest states. Our dandelions can get huge. We mostly see green, but I've seen plenty reddish green leaves and stems. I use the flowers and make jelly. It tastes like a delicate honey.

great video

Like seeing another video. Your responsible for me stopping care for my lawn. I have about 14 edibles in my lawn i know here in ohio. Once i learned all you info it became a slippery slope to getting involved in permaculture. Weeds are food and tools for other plants. I can't believe all the time i spent weeding gardens etc when it's all an integral part of a whole system. From now on i plan on collecting a vast amount of variety . I never liked my veggies but weeds taste good to me.lol

You are a total genius!

Awesome video! I (think) I see these all around in Florida where I live but I never feel confident enough to eat them! So scared of eating the wrong thing no matter how much I study.

I have some weed plants in my courtyard but don’t know if they are edible.. I wish there is a site where one can take a photo upload it and find the answers. Your site is great...I learnt so much. Thanks.

Love your clear identification pics n flavor info on my weeds in Wisconsin , wish you'd tell us if it just leaves, plus flowers, and roots edible?

Really Really Interesting and informative! I enjoy your videos very much. Hope to meet you in person someday. Best Regards, Brandon
