  • I have them all over my fence here in Ohio. They are not that fat though. I wonder if they are indeed 'Milkweed' I've been told that they are. When you break them open in late fall, they contain numerous flat-seeds with cotton-like-parachute tops. Are these (that grow upon my fences here, Milkweeds, do you think, even though they are much thinner and more 'comma' shaped?

  • @FacetsOfTruth Different species. You are probably looking at cynanchum laeve, not edible as far as I know.

  • Green Deane, green bean, plants. Eh? Eh?

  • Green Jeans... or is it green genes? 

  • Your videos are educational as well as entertaining, thank you , good job !

    Also, can I find this plant growing in the state of NY ? I'd love to harvest some !

  • @Zeuszgrl Little too cold to be outside but you could grow it in a pot.

  • Just saw a fallow grove full of this vine in Ft. Pierce. Thanks for the video, very informative.

  • Awesome

  • no one can patent this weed like they can citrus through genetic modification patents. Even though its healthier by far, if it wont make money you wont hear about it and its labeled a dirty weed.

  • @EatTheWeeds Thanks so much for the 'response'. I know you must be very busy. So I understand the rarity of your correspondence, & value it immensely. I respect your expert advice & opinion completely, sir, & will steer away from this 'ornamental-visitor'. As far as it being considered for a 'palatable future'? 'No! But will 'stay' its' place upon its' chained link summit. As I pledge to render unto all things, their 'due' consideration". JRH. Eat well my friend. I worry not, that you will. :-)

  • the whole plant has latex ok can't eat that one.. darn....!
