Some of my favorite edibles!

[John G]

It's nice to see the local grape crop starting out so strong. I can't wait till it's wine making time!

I absolutely love spearmint. Found this guy under a large pear tree.

I used these Staghorn Sumac berries to make some wild raspberry/sumac-ade. Very tasty!

Oh, I would be remiss if I didn't brag on this. It's a belated birthday present from a good friend. She found this beautiful decanter set god-knows-where. Probably some garage sale or estate sale. God bless her for her bargain hunting skills! :thumbup:

Not exactly a wild edible, but one of my favorites!

Nice pics!!

That decanter set is too cool. What did you put in it? A nice single malt perhaps?

Mmmm...Scotch, scotch, scotch...Down it goes...Down in my belly.....Scotch, scotch, scotch.

Well, the scotch is good ol', cheap-ass, Old Smuggler Scotch. It's for drinking. I like good whiskey, but I also like affordable whiskey. The other decanter is Jim Beam Rye.

Never had the Old Smuggler....Ill have to look for it. I know what ya mean. I have a couple really nice Single Malts I cant bring myself to open...pricey stuff.

I do like the Jim Beam Rye though...:thumbup:

Make sure you are positive on the difference between different Wild Grape (Vitis spp.) species and Canada Moonseed (Menispermum canadense), which, of course, is poisonous.

Thanks for the reminder, Doc! I've made paranoia my policy regarding wild edibles. Thanks again for the book recomendations, especially The Forager's Harvest. That's a special one.

When do you suppose is the time to harvest grapes for wine?
