You haven't done any videos in a while. I hope you will continue, They are very informative and enjoyable to many many people.

[EatTheWeeds]

@ramblingjerry I've been busy getting the new website up and running, and teaching. But I do plan to do more videos.

WHy on earth would you cook them up..which kills all the good stuff in it?

[EatTheWeeds]

@giddymoon Because many of them cannot be eaten raw.

[EatTheWeeds]

@EatTheWeeds It depends on which one you are referring to. For example, the sonchus is an excellent green cooked. It is bitter raw and can upset the tummy.

hey, how are you Green Bean? i was just wondering what plants would be good to make into a body wash soap/shampoo?

[EatTheWeeds]

@HappyBirthdaySANTA Green Deane... any water you soak amaranth or chinopodium seeds in would work well... or yucca root...

[EatTheWeeds]

@memillanf Yes. A dead language is one that is no longer learned as a native language. No one is raised speaking Latin. More so that is why it was specifically chosen to describe plants because unlike living languages Latin is no longer evolving.

What I find funny is how I cant find a single video showing that you can in fact eat WILD PARSNIP sure it can burn the living hell out of you if you are stupid, but all we do is wait until october or just before the ground freezes. Where long sleeves, long pants, gloves and goggles. Cut the stem off near the ground and use a shovel to remove the parsnip. It tastes great, also if you want you can leave them in and wait until early spring and dig them up then, they are sweeter and very tasty.
