    I need to look into foraging. I am sure there are tons of things even in landlocked Colo. I was surprised to find weeds in my yard that are an ancient grain, for example.

      Yeah I’ve had common evening-primrose, prickly lettuce, tall hedge mustard as spicy as wasabi, chicken of the woods killing our plum tree lol, now what looks like artist’s bracket too in our garden this year. But to be fair most of these seem to grow almost everywhere. Once you learn to identify one of these you will really see them everywhere.

        Hedge mustard? Sounds cool. I forgot we get prickly lettuce too. Lots of it. The wild bunnies love it. I definitely need to learn more.

          hedge mustard is definitely one to know if you like the tast of arugula, wasabi, horseradish or paint thinner
