Ok I think I got the Yarrow, Russian thistle and the blackberries, there were a few which I think I know but am not sure of (hence I would not have picked them for edibles). I need a refresher course. By the way russian or canadian thistle is a good source for hydration though the taste is not that great and is loaded with vitamin B12 and 6. Boiled they both taste like celery. Mind bender here! Great video!

I am surprised you didn't spot the mullein (a.k.a. nature's toilet paper), but it was a tall specimen. It was great meeting you, and I hope next time involves the woods! Peace, man!

I thought that it (mullein)was there but I was not sure at the time. It was great to meet you as well, the entire family liked you! I do hope that next time it will be in the woods also.

I agree with Bill!! LOL Many I have never seen. Yarrow and mountian ash and a few daisies but thats it. Great video and Some sound advice!! ED

At the end of August, I will identify all of them in this video, probably via annotations. Many would be tough for you, my friend, as some are found only in this area of the Appalachian Mountains. A decent field guide for Eastern U.S., like a Petersons or a Audubon, would help. Thanks for the effort in trying! Peace.

Well, that is true......LMAO! Lindsay is better than most at this. She really has the passion for it, you know? I give her full credit for being better than me at it. I only got about 3/4 of them off the top of my head, she got all but 1, and got it by the end of the day, all from memory! Thanks for the comment! Peace.
