Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.59,0:00:49.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,plant. This is the dandelion. This is
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.42,0:00:52.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the flower, right here. And then these
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.66,0:00:55.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are the leaves, right here.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.91,0:00:59.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the flower turns into a seed head

Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.25,0:01:21.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,plant. It's very nutritious and it's a
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.62,0:01:24.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,medicinal one. I want to say that this
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.54,0:01:27.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,yard that I am in is basically a random\Nyard.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.19,0:01:34.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,weeks ago. And this is just a yard of

Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.53,0:01:43.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to introduce you to about 10 plants that

Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.40,0:01:49.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's dandelions. Now I don't have to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.51,0:01:52.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,go very far and what I have, right here,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.51,0:01:57.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,coming up, this looks like sorrel to me.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.14,0:02:10.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,check this out, right here. This plant
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.94,0:02:16.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,also looks like sorrel to me. Oh wow,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.37,0:02:18.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,check that out, there's this yellow
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.37,0:02:21.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,spider. That probably came off the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.32,0:02:23.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,dandelion flower because it's camouflaged
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.74,0:02:27.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,right in with that colour.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.44,0:02:30.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Back to the plants. This is sorrel and
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.49,0:02:34.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sorrel has a nice sour flavour and there
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.24,0:02:36.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is another type of sorrel that I'm going
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.96,0:02:39.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to show you in a bit. Let's walk a little
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.03,0:02:41.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bit more and see what we come across.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.82,0:02:50.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay. This is...right here, one of my

Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.14,0:03:13.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lamb's quarter is a relative to quinoa
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.53,0:03:17.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the leaves of lamb's quarter are
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.14,0:03:18.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,often described to have sort of a
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.93,0:03:22.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nutty flavour. (Takes a bite)

Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.40,0:03:27.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it's got a different flavour and\NI like it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.12,0:03:30.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Amazing thing is, you would look at
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.15,0:03:32.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of these green plants and you would
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.20,0:03:35.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think they all taste the same but they\Ndefinitely don't.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.06,0:03:37.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lamb's quarter is a relative of quinoa
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.40,0:03:39.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you can also eat the seeds, as well,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.47,0:03:42.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a nice grain. This is one of my
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.01,0:03:44.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,absolute favourites and it grows into big

Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.04,0:03:56.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this family's garden. And what you'll see
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.81,0:03:59.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is there's almost nothing growing in this
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.18,0:04:01.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,garden right now. But there is food

Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.45,0:04:10.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're a problem, but it turns out that
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.47,0:04:12.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a lot of these weeds are more nutritious
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.48,0:04:14.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than what they're trying to grow in the
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.43,0:04:16.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,garden. This is a perfect example.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.16,0:04:18.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's spring, it's early April, the garden

Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.63,0:04:45.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how you can identify something
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.45,0:04:48.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that is in the mint family is it has a
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.05,0:04:51.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,square stem. I'm going to pick a
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.85,0:04:56.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,piece and when I spin it in my fingers
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.77,0:05:00.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll see it's not rolling as a round

Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.08,0:05:05.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So there are lots of different mints out\Nthere.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.88,0:05:24.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,natural breath mint. And mint is very
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.01,0:05:26.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,easy to plant. You can take a piece of
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.88,0:05:30.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the stem...a woody piece, poke it into the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.90,0:05:34.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ground and you can propagate mint and
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.15,0:05:36.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,spread it all over that way.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.33,0:05:38.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is a really nice mint that's\Ngrowing.
