Wild Edibles Nature Walk Part2

Pat from 4H giving a wild edibles nature walk in Lake Placid NY. She discusses edible and non edible "weeds". Many of the weeds in your front yard where brought over by the first settlers for a quick food and medicine source. The Roundup weed company Monsanto would have you kill these wonderful plants in the sake of curb appeal a useless toxic green lawn. A few "weeds" to learn: Heal All, Dandelion, Plantain (narrow and broad), Red Clover, White Clover, Ground Ivy, Wood Sorrel, Sheep Sorrel and Violets.

We found the Peterson Field Guide Eastern/Central Medicinal Plants and Herbs to have the best descriptions and photos. Many edible plants have look a likes that are deadly. Make sure you can id the desired plant.

@aranelinya We still have around 4ft of snow on the ground, I'm jealous! We've made the dandelion syrup, taste a lot like honey. We've made dandelion and queen anne's lace fritters....yummy! Oh the buggies are extra protein...just kidding, things aren't that bad yet to do that!
