During the spring it can be quite difficult to identify wild onion. Even certain species of grass can look very similar to onion at this point in the season. This video is intended to compliment the other videos about wild onion.

Disclaimer: As always, please remember to do your own extensive research before using any plans for consumption or medicine. Do not rely on any of my videos for positive identification. If you find written sources from credentialed authors, you can develop the knowledge and confidence to safely engage in foraging. I am an amateur ethnobotanist myself, so everyone can forage safely and confidently if they are wiling to put in the time to develop an “expertise” derived from expert sources.

I love your videos and appreciate you sharing your knowledge - I just moved to Northern Arizona White Mountains and your content is easy to understand and informative - my wife and I are preparing to make a garden and I think it would be ideal to propagate wild edibles in place of more traditional crops considering they require less resources and are already adapted to the environment in which we live - I'm wondering if any native cultures did this in the area before or if they mostly foraged instead without planting themselves? Would love any recommendations for books if you know of any! Thanks for making this information available to folks

Thanks for watching. Occasionally I come across references to the possibility that indigenous groups would seed plants. For example there is a stand of piñons whose location some experts claim cannot be explained by other factors. Some suggest that they may have been deliberately planted by some native group. It is well documented that native groups in most, if not all regions, would modify landscapes in which staple plants grew so as to encourage more robust growth from each individual plant and to increase population densities. As a result, they were able to decrease calorie expenditure when gathering and also increase overall yield.

I also enjoy trying to grow various native plants. I have had a few successes and countless failures. 😂

I think the plant is Fendler’s Spring Parsley, which I watched in one of your videos several weeks ago. Hey question related to wild onion - is there also a wild garlic? The plant I picked was from a pasture in Western New York, had leaves like the wild onion, but had a garlic smell when bruised. I dug on out the plant and it had what looked like a clove and not a bulb. There was also wild onion in he area, identified by scent and the bulb.

Thanks for watching. Good guess on the plant ID. It is actually a closely related species from a different genus (Idaho biscuitroot).

I am not as familiar with plants in your region. I know there are species of wild garlic in regions other than mine. However, wild garlic does not grow in my location and I have not yet had the opportunity to try the plant. In the future, I hope to become familiar with plants outside the western states.
