Need to get on this level. I’m at the eat dandelion level currently

Lol…the mailman though I was pulling weeds. I told him I was harvesting. He laughed until I mentioned some things and about the benefits of dandelion leaves and roots and how my Italian grandmother and I would walk in the woods to forage for wild greens. He said he was gonna leave his to grow and make some dandelion greens for him and his wife. These violets grow all over my lettuce and arugula beds. I just roasted em with the chiles, onions, and tomatillos and made salsa with em. Game changer. Definitely making that again.

I love how, the more "weeds" I make friends with, the easier gardening becomes. it's a lot harder to kill something once you learn it's name

I haven't even had to "go foraging" because all of my greens have been things I've weeded from the garden.

Foraging would be a great school subject. It's practical and fun, can be integrated into biology or PE.

I tried violet greens (seasoned like turnip or collard greens, cooked like similarly easy-wilting spinach) not long ago and LOVE them. I make violet syrup every spring (for violet soda) and have some oil and a tincture, and I've made candied/crystallized violet flowers but the greens and the soda are my favorite uses for violet so far.

Yeah this is the basis of my native plant garden. I want to know every possible edible plant that will just grow anyways and then let it explode
@robicarm
Dandelions, and poke salad. Wild basil, mint, and chives. I forget the name but there's a plant that has a heart shaped clover petals, and it taste like lemons.

My neighbors hate me because I let chunks of my yard just grow so I can ID the plants.

Honestly knowing foraging had helped so much in my gardening. All of my classmates ask me to identify weeds because our most common "weeds" are edible plants 😂
