    I think I have posted this before, but its time to go in the woods again, and we have new members, so I'm posting it again. Edible Plants. Lots of pictures.

    A very useful collection of photographs for those of us who like to forage for edible plants. :-D

    Maybe, if you were with me and I knew I was doing it right and eating the right part, I would try some of that off-beat stuff. My biology professor left a lasting impression on me on hunger and eating. So yes, I should know what to eat out there when I get lost.

    That was really informative. I will actually be trying the clover and the thistle. I would try more, but I don't have access to those plants. I have already tried the dandelion and the Labrador tea. The dandelion is pretty good and the tea made from Labrador tea is not bad either, however, it is a little bitter, but a little sugar fixed that.
