In the 8th video field guide to edible and medicinal plants we'll take an in depth look at 10 different plants, 8 are edible and two are poisonous. From plants like Poor Man's Pepper to Prickly Lettuce, you'll learn their identification features, growing habitats, and uses as plants. There's two poisonous species we'll cover like Water Hemlock and Doll's Eyes that are important to know if you are foraging wild plants for food or medicine. We start off with the Common Elderberry and its unique set of leaves and progress through several other plants that are able to be foraged throughout the year.

    I tried raw daylily flowerbuds. Not bad, but not anything I'll be craving. The idea of sautéing sounds good, though. I also want to try the tubers.
  • @trudyhoffmann6405
    Thank you! This one helped me identify one of my plants. I didn't want to pull it out of my flowers till I knew what it was.

    I let 2 wild lettuce plants go to seed last year, though I cut a lot of the side shoots off, I have that stuff EVERYWHERE this spring😂 The young plants don't have the hard pickles yet, I cut them into my salad. I made a pain tincture 2 years ago, have not needed any yet.
  • @suseanneegoulet1033
    Prickly lettuce is very common here. It can be much shorter than the examples you've shown in dry years, extremely compacted soils, and if it's been mowed during the growing season. I've seen examples in a drought year as short as 12 inches.
  • @7Thunders777
    Well done. Thanks. A 1 gallon paint strainer bag from The Home Depot Or Lowes etc. Would work better than coffee filters.
  • @kgs2280
    You said the roots of the daylily are edible. Are they not bulbs? Is it the bulbs that are edible, or do they have roots instead of bulbs? Thank you for all the great information.
  • @sherihicks1427
    QUESTION: I have been searching for the exact wild lettuce you just showed on my own property. There are PLENTY, but they have BLUE flowers. Are they the same? I think they are called Florida Blue Lettuce, but not sure. They get super tall.
