We used to eat raw acorns of the tree?-bush? That was along time ago. Prescott Arizona,1963

yeah there is a bitter gene, thankfully I don't have it so not a picky eater and so much more is pleasantly foragable.

Did I miss you telling folks about the young green narrow leaf plantain shoots being harvested as a tasty asparagus-like side dish? Just be sure they haven't gone to dry seed yet. Sauté with your favorite oil and garlic Yum!

Do grain mills exist with millstones that do not leach out materials into the flour ?

Yes everyone loves nature: until snakes, rats and scorpions start to appear (also many other animals like parisitic flies and ticks). Then everyone will go back to lawns or pave 😒

Ty helped very much

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The egg came first. Idk why thats such a debate 😂

Thanks. Very informative. ❤I love everything. I’m excitedly looking forward to diving into those recommend books. Pammie from Chicago Illinois

tried twice but i just cant doi it

Meat rabbits are another urban homesteading project.

Im no expert. Lol. But i have been raised all my life living on the land. I know enough to feed myself and family all year. Between plants. Fungus and hunting.

Lawns aren't all bad, I have a small one and the clippings are great for compost and mulching garden beds.

I got wild peppermint in my creek

dont you lech them to get rid of the tanings in runing water

I just foraged some thanks to you! I wish I can write a letter like you to anyone at anytime in the future. That was beautiful.

I totally agree. Unfortunately, I have an HOA. So, I need an ornamental solution to replace the lawn.

This video was more informative than anything I watched all day. Thanks.

i dont have a lot of money right now, so thank you for sharing this knowledge :) i will add acorns to my diet

I'm all about not using a clothes dryer anymore. my setup is inside with a portable clothes rack with a flat mesh top. I flat and hang dry almost everything on that. Assisted by a floor fan. It also helps that my washer has a high-speed spin. My clothes smell wonderful.

Do you recommend drying the violet leaves for medicinal tea?

Great reasons here. The one that resonates most is the adaptability of the seeds year after year to our soil type. I live in a dry area and the soil is very clayey (if that's even a word). And I notice that seeds often struggle to grow. Perhaps if I harvest the seeds of the plants that do grow well, I can save myself a lot of disappointment.

I Just realized i had these in my yard! I’ve lived in this house for a few years now and never noticed until yesterday! I’m definitely gonna be eating some!

We Indian are doing this very earlier

great video thanks

I have never seen Lamb's quarters seed as prolifically as another relative amaranth or redroot pigweed.

Unkept lawns make a house look like shit having pride in your property isn’t a sin.

lawns are such a waste of water and unsustainable.

so many puns

Here in Norcal I harvest three cornered garlic all spring, it is so delicious even raw!

We have a runt she is full of life and drama i hope she doesnt die she is so odd from the rest all the chickens just do there chicken stuff while the runt hen always wants to play hide n seek with me its funny and loves the attention i even take her in the house put her on a pirch i made bc she has huge feet for her tiny body ever morning she pecks at my ear to wake me up and she flutters to my shoulder and i go about my day she has such a big personality as im making food she always wants to taste test it first before i do

Lambsquarter (aka wild spinach) is a spinach relative and likewise very high in oxalic acid/oxalates. Right up there with spinach, chard and beets. You can still eat it but a) rotate with other low oxalic greens such as any cabbage family plants, b) serve with a rich source of calcium like cheese or sour cream so it binds in your digestive system & moves on out, and c) cook in water and draining that off will substantially reduce the oxalic content before adding it to other dishes.

You can also use extra saved seeds to grow sprouts, micro or baby greens indoors-- especially in the winter.

"Creeping charlie" has also been known as "gill-over-the-ground" in reference to it's use in brewing ale.

Seems like a full time job to forage, with risks hirer than most jobs allow, that doesnt even meet returns 1/10th of minimum wage... why not just plant stuff?

So it is toxic and non edible when it starts to get tall? And what about if there is poison ivy close by? I have the ivy growing up a pine tree in my yard and the poke weed is very close to it.

I had the stuff growing in my backyard and I thought it was chives because the greenery growing from it tasted like onion, so I dug it up and planted it! Now it's flowering and it turns out it was wild field garlic! Cool!

Acorns: The one food that the processing isn't worth the results.

OMG. Memories. I'm generation X and our mom would feed us this stuff in a form of a sour meat stew we would eat with rice. You can use any kind of meat for the stew. We also liked it with fish. It helped us stretch our meat budget so we didn't consume so much meat too fast. We were strong and lean kids back in the day. Probably because it prevented constipation. Our neighbor's kids didn't touch the stuff and they were fat and grouchy. It's sour because of the Oxalic acid and Vitamin C. If eaten raw, you use it in salads for a little tangy taste. Mom saved a lot of money foraging for this plant instead of buying kale or other leafy greens at the supermarket. We were also sure it did not have insecticides on it. It takes a lot of water to process it because you will be washing the bugs and dirt off of it before consuming. You will also want to boil some water and blanch it a couple times before putting into into your stew in order to leach out the oxalic acid and to kill any hidden critters like spiders and aphids. Save the water in a big tub and soak all your rusty engine parts in it. It removes rust.

Thank you, this has been exceptional.

Ascites… any advice?

What about roasting them whole and seasoning them for snacking?

I ate a bunch of raw acorns when I was a kid, I ended up in the hospital for about a week. I was unaware of what tannens were and how they can effect the body if you don't roast or boil them out

I only boil once, even if I get a mild stomach ache. edit: oh yea, I harvest all growing season. When the stalks turn red, I boil a little longer.

Thanks, saved to my Nourishing Traditions playlist.

I made sure to buy beans that grow in the Summer and the winter. I'm not going to starve when they shut off the food supply

I’ve been safe and seats for years. I have never been able to figure out how to do. Cabbage broccoli cauliflower. I live in the state of Pennsylvania zone five. I read that they were by annual. I’m not sure how you get them to make seeds.

I'm subscribed to many informative channels. I've found your channel just recently. You are quickly becoming a favorite. So much wonderful information. Thank you!
