In the 7th video field guide to wild edible and medicinal plants we will cover the identification features of each plant in depth as well as discuss their growing habitats, their uses for food or medicine, and some warnings about them if applicable. This guide is meant to be highly informative on wild plants that you can forage easily in your yard, in the woods, or in other easily accessible places. We will cover plants like Wintercress, Common Chicory, Jack in the Pulpit, Ox Eye Daisy, Henbit, Common Ragweed, and the Winged Sumac. Learn about each plants distinct identification features for their leaves, stems, and flowers in close up detail.

What is the difference in an ox eye and shasta?
Great video. Thank you .
Great info! Thanks!
those overgrown areas under electric grid lines are perfect for foraging. i found so much there. even some wild passion fruit
Appreciate these medicinal and edible common identification vids!
I'll go look to see if you have an winged vs staghorn vs poison sumac vid.
Is the flower of the Daisy you mentioned edible? Am I able to use it in a tea?
Great work.. but, tell us, Why do we need a detailed report on the anatomy of the plant, when all we're here for is 'what can the plant do to help us in some way??
Hi Josh, I cant remember but thought you said at one time you was working on a book. Is that still in the works? Was curious cause I would like to buy one if you do.
Would you describe the plant more and when you comment," this plant", would you name the plant. Therefore, not to keep us guessing what it is. It refers to the original name. Helping to identify when listening to your videos thank you. Enjoy listening I'm watching. It'll make it easier to identify the plant after it's kind.
Lovely, another video 🙂 let me see what I know and what not!
Good thing I am not allergic to chickweed, I nibble it often when in the garden! And I had this beautiful green feathery plant coming up in one of my flower pots this spring ; it grew faster than what I had planted and I looked it up, sure enough ragweed, where did that come from? I cut it off, don't want to cause the neighbors allergies when it blooms, or rather I do not want it all over like my mugwort and Goldenrod. I grew up with poppy, cornflowers and chicory all over, now they are gone. I do have chicory in my garden though, I think the wind and the birds bring me all good plants 🙂
great detail brother thanks
Would you be able to comment on the quince fruit it's hard and full of vitamin C do you know this plant? Please thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. I find your videos so very helpful! I live in the northwest ( Oregon) so we have much of all you speak of!
Gonna binge watch your videos and take notes! Thank you!
What’s the medicinal and edible part of common ragweed? I didn’t see that part. I have got a lot in my backyard, so I really wonder if there is any value of it. Thanks! This is a very informative video.
This series was initially enjoyable until I realized your hand is in 95% or more of the frames. Remember that Nat Geo where you watched the cameraman's hand constantly pointing out the polar bear? Me either, because it's distracting and unprofessional. Put a sock puppet on it or better get it out of the frame. Unsubbing for now but will return to see if you've figured it out.
