  • Are you biking off of Markham road? Also, other than your wonderfully informative videos which I do enjoy, are there any specific books you recommend to be most accurate in their information? Such as something to take with me that has photos to compare. I appreciate it.

  • @RyanRuscitto I was on the Seminole Trail. Unfortunately there is no such book, particulary for our area.

  • Sorry, I have one more question. I was informed that all conglomerate berries that are red or black are edible, is this fact true?

  • @kingcollie The correct term is "aggregate fruit" Conglomerate seems to be an internet invention. There is one survivalist who teaches that 99% of them are edible. I can think of two that are not. So while it's perhaps more true than not, it is no short cut. Learn the plant.

  • Hey there Green Deane, great videos. I'm sure they will be a good reference guide for me when I venture into the bush up here in Canada. I have a question about wild grapes: I found a nice patch of Vitis riparia and I was wondering when I should harvest them/ when are they ripe? And would the harvest time be different in Ontario Canada from the harvest time in Florida?

  • @kingcollie Vitis riparia are ripe when they are black, and surprisingly they are ripe in the fall, just as they are here.

  • And a big thank you for the immediate reply!

  • @EatTheWeeds Thanks so much. I had started to harvest the patch I found but now I know to leave it for another month or two. Thanks again Deane, cheers!

  • @EatTheWeeds Thanks, I feel silly referring to it as a conglomerate now haha. Would you mind sharing which two are are not edible? I am an aspiring Botanist and there are still some things I'm not familiar with. I always make sure I learn the plant before doing anything with it. I find It's best to bring a camera, take a few photos of the plant and study them and the plant you assume it is. After I am sure of at least what genus it is and whether or not it is poisonous, then I make my move.

  • Thanks for your reply. That clears up the mystery.
