My parents always called this plant in my yard "chickweed." I found out a few years ago that chickweed is edible, found a nice recipe, and picked a bunch. It was not chickweed. It was horribly bitter and I'm probably lucky I didn't get sick. So it's good that you tell people to do their research!
At 1:47 "I know the waters clean and the soil is clean" how do you know that? Just because an area is "high up" and away from human activity, doesn't mean it is clean.
Tell that to the naturally high arsenic, molybdenum and lead found in the soil near my house! It was there long before any people could have placed it, and it will continue to kill lots of people who do not respect it now. Lots of areas of California in the hills have very high arsenic, be careful!
I really like your video, and would enjoy them more they were longer and more in depth. Those of us interested in this sort of thing want to 'sink our teeth' into stuff like this. It's like going to a buffet and only having a 'small' salad... ;-)
Where are you in this video? I'm assume this is also in the Bay Area. That Chickweed looks delicious. I'm going to make Chickweed juice when it comes in season.

Could be anywhere in the Bay Area hills. Chickweed is super super common in the winter and spring.
