They are called Broad Leaf and Narrow Leaf Plaintain and are indidginous to Europe but have taken over the US-have sticky seeds that came on clothing. Wwould you please please please do a dandelion video?? BTW I just found you by someone being subbed to you- called White Man's Foot 'cause the white man brought it.

Anway, I pick lots of dandelions for my chickens and want to know which are edible for people-so many kinds.

ps-that was a poor specimen of pantain-they get huge and dark green.

yes your right, I made this video very early in the season when they were just popping through the ground, when they are young like this they are more edible than when they get biggger, so I chose to show ti at this point, as far as I know ALL dandelions are edible, the whole thgin, leaves and stems and flowers as well as the root, check this info with another sourse, a guy names green dean here on youtube knows everythguin about edible plants, ask him, his screen anem is eattheweeds...

Thank you for getting the word out about wonderful plantain! I make a plantain/calendula ointment that I use for just about anything that troubles skin. :) In addition to cuts and scrapes, bug bites and stings, it is also good for minor burns, eczema, chapped skin, cracked lips, and amazingly, even for helping splinters work their way out.
