I must have overpicked one year, though, haven't had any volunteer in my plot in the last few years. <br /><br />It does grow elsewhere in Brooklyn but mostly in places where it's quite likely that dogs have left messages on it, so no. <br /><br />https://frogma.blogspot.com/2008/07/weedeater.htmlbonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-74295196058983742042018-07-10T02:17:53.226-04:002018-07-10T02:17:53.226-04:00Delicious!

In the fall, there are plenty of apples and pears. Also, there are wild grapes. They are very small and have lots of seeds but they are so tasty. I can usually find raspberries and blackberries, too. Another yummy treat is wood sorrel, which people think of as a weed. It has a tart flavor and plenty of vitamin C. There are also plenty of fungus among us types of wild edibles but I can't tell an edible mushrooms and I'd rather not accidentally consume a toadstool.Alice Gerardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843884715361277163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-79538730261951231492018-07-04T00:00:51.895-04:002018-07-04T00:00:51.895-04:00You are correct.

From picking the grapes from the backyard, peeling them, making sure there wer no seeds, then the cooking..ugh. Who knew that so much work went into creating a few jars of jam. After making the jam, it felt like I wa scared to eat it because of the work that went into making it.

I remember my mom and grandmothers using what was growing (both in the garden and in the "wild"), including making a dandelion salad in the spring. I haven't been as courageous. :-) Where we are living right now fig trees are abundant, and the stories of their produce used by locals are so fun to hear. It would be interesting if we all took a little bit of what we "used to do" and made it part of today! Lori Fergusonhttp://postivethanksliving.comnoreply@blogger.com
