Some useful, common plants in Pennsylvania. The yellow plant, Goldenrod, is a wildflower that blooms in late summer, can be used medicinally to treat inflammation, pains related to arthritus, and skin conditions. The purple plant is Thistle. While beautiful looking, it has been considering to be a nuisance plant throughout human history. Luckily, the roots of the plant are edible and can be used in a poultice for treating soreness. most know the spikey plant, Milkweed, as the preferred food of the Monarch Butterfly, so I wouldn't reccomend picking them. For the most part it is considered poisonous but indigenous tribes would chew the roots to treat dysentery. While my photos of the blackberries (or raspberries) aren't the best, any outdoorsman of PA can identify these. Ripe and delicious when they're black. The wild grapes which appear dark blue, are a bit of a mystery, showing up on our farm in the last couple years. They don't really taste that great, but are edible and native to PA. Maybe they can be used to make wine 🤔. : : #goldenrod #thistle #milkweed #blackberry #raspberry #wildgrapes #edibleplants #medicinalplants https://www.instagram.com/p/CHyipfapy4b/?igshid=l4nexgmyjaxa
