Very nice post. I love getting out in the woods and bringing home dinner. I've got a few spots I go that are getting ready to be plentiful in wild blackberry and gooseberry plants and will be baking some pies.

The wild onions and garlic you found are great with some grilled up rabbit. Mmmmm now I'm hungry.

Again great post I love wild edibles and this helped get me excited about the season.

Thank you sir, I'm glad you liked the post. Definitely do the scratch and sniff test, if it doesn't smell like carrots don't bother seeing if it tastes like them :)

The road to your house is loaded with onions, garlic, and wild carrots. That's one of the reasons precolumbian natives used to burn forests, to make clearings for plants like these and others to grow.

Most of the older books drove me nuts trying to learn from them. I use websites like the USDA and wild plants on TN Dept. of Agg. then go out with a camera and take my own photos and then use botany websites like the one UBC used to have. A digital camera and the internet have done more for my wild edibles studies than anything.
 
"wild urban plants of the northeast" - written for my area, but a lot of what it's in the book applies to most of the east coast, if not much of the country these days

edible invasives. om nom nom nom.

Yeah, I bet the first settlers to bring plantain to this country would have never imagined that a few hundred years later people would be spending thousands of dollars a year to eradicate it from their "lawns".

I learned a lot from people who lived through the depression. I wish I had paid more attention... not many of them left
