Hello there! long time no talk...could you do a special on Oregon vegetation? or maybe possibly give me some information so i could get started? I made hard cider and it has a wine sort-of taste to it. I haven't bottled it yet but have been tasting it to make sure its drinkable. Thanks:)

Hello Dean,

Just watching a few of your videos has already caused me to fall in love with your channel. I don't know if this is legal but can you show us how to prepare editable varieties of the Hemp Cannabis plant. I heard that the seeds and the leaves are some of the most nutritiously balanced plant that a human can consume. I really hope to see some video on this and keep up the awesome work that you're doing.

Green Deane here: I have a foraging class in Melbourne Fla coming up on the 29th of Nov. If you know of anyone who might be interested please pass this on. While more information is available at my website (www.eattheweeds.com) it will be at 9 a.m. at 2500 Parkway Drive, Melbourne, FL. 32935

Hey Deane! I haven't seen any new videos in a while! I've been missing them!

Shalom luvtheearth1,
Do try the iPhone/iTouch for your on the go needs. I am a bit of a Tech myself and have been for many years.
If you have a iPhone/iTouch search for an app called "DocsToGo" it will allow you to make, import and edit Micro$oft Word, Excel spreadsheets and view many other formats like PDF.
I have never used an Apple Product much until recently. This iTouch is incredable. When they say "there's an app for that" they are not kidding.

I am going to (once I have collected enough data) compile a Word or Excel Document with all I can find on Florida's secret yummy grocery store ^__^. I wanna make it easy to search by season and or category of plant. this document could very well work on anyone's Home PC via Micro$oft Office, but having this iTouch makes everything right at hand.
I carry it as much as my wallet.....hmmm, maybe I should get one of those solar chargers for the next Exodus, nu?

Thank you Deane for the book referal. I'll be sure to get it. I did see your archives and they are very detailed and informative with great pictures. I hope some day soon you can get it all published since there is a need for it. In the in the mean time I will have to be inovative like our friend Ivrit007 when I go on my walks. Thank you again for putting out all this useful information. I acutally was refered to you by one of my fellow Permaculture students back in Chicago that knows about your site. Just came back from a course up there and was the only one from FL! LOL

Gotta just say I love it!
What you are doing with your detailed videos on YouTube.
I am ripping them all and adding them to my Apple iTouch in the Survival section I have. Your videos will help a lot when I am walking around our woods and yard. I carry My iTouch everywhere the way it is and this will be a happy addition to my Bug-out-pack ^__^
Thanx Dinos

There is no good foraging book for the southeast, despite my efforts to get a publisher interested said. The articles on my website, as they are, are about as close as one will get to a Southeast foraging book. That said, a good all around book is Edible Plants of North America by Elias and Dykeman 2008 edition. The 2008 edition is very important, as it is an update of a long ago edition. You can find it in most large books stores or on line.

Thank you Green Deane for your videos and website. I am currently learning about Permaculture and creating an intensive design garden for my home using those principles. I am just learning about all these things and identifying wild edibles and non-edibles I believe is an invaluable skill. I am unaware of a book I can take with me on my walks to help practice. Do you know of any? I live in FL too. Tampa Bay area. You rock! Keep those videos coming. Thanks again and many blessings to you.
