white clover in the south can be dangerous. And plantain has tons of uses from burns, cuts, and open sores, boils and acne, throat pain/infection, dandruff and other scalp problems, poisen ivy, oak, sumac, sunburn, kidney and liver functioning etc, to just name a few. All the best and great video.
Plantain is one of the most important plants with a multitude of uses. It stimulates blood production, quickening healing. It is effective for bruising, broken bones, cuts, scrapes, sunburn, stings, bug and spider bites, even pulling venom out of the wound. It can be crushed like she mentioned, made into a poultice, tincture, oil diffusion, salve and more. I make salve with it and have even put into my eyes after I had scratched both corneas and sclera's on a particularly windy day at the ball field! I have first hand experience with all but the snake bite. It is truly a gift. It also aids digestion and can heal digestive ailments. Healing bruising and sunburns have been some pretty miraculous events that my children love to talk about with their friends!
I just wanted to let you know – the plant at 6:16 is actually NOT broadleaf plantain (Plantago major), which BONAP lists as being in Kentucky, but is not super common (or at least does not have many reports). The plant pictured is actually Rugel's Plantain (Plantago rugelii), a native. You can tell by the red margins on the stems – P. major does not have these. Luckily, both are edible!
I wanted to try Redbud this year but couldn't find any easy to reach like your tree. Have some wood sorrel and love it. Tons of jewelweed in my yard, and plantain, of course.

Thank you so much for this information. I really enjoyed the video and seeing the beautiful woods ya'll have back there.
Is there anything out there that will repel ticks and turkey mites?
Would most of these plants be found in the Western Kentucky area? I look to be living off the land for a week in the Reelfoot area.
thank you has really helped and informative. The family is moveing to kentucky soon. thank you so much
I've heard that only the White Pine with 5 needle per clump is edible.
Hey guys! Love your channel! I live in Western Kentucky (McLean Co) and was wondering if you had any "Nature Alliance" classes around me?

I can find half of the plant on the ground in my yard not the trees.

Can I get a book on all the plants to make medication out of them
Love all this information
I know the lakes have mercury. Is it safe to eat fish caught from creeks and streams, in Kentucky? Thanks.
I loved this and recognized most of these plants! Thank you! Do you have classes?
Awesome
