While vacationing with my family in Vancouver (WA) we stumbled across a huge patch of creeping raspberries that was actually having a huge crop. Had seen occasional berries before but not these. Gathered for about 20 min and had a nice snack the next day.

I found a nice little cactus patch close by and made some agua fresca. 10/10, very refreshing with a little lime juice. When they’re in season again I might go looking for some nopales too!

Update on my yard foraging

Thumbnail

140 Upvotes

I posted a few days ago about how my yard is full of broadleaf plantain and that I was thinking about harvesting the natural psyllium husks.

I spent about an hour today cutting and collecting some. I barely made a dent because they really are everywhere in my yard. I'll spread them out on the shelves of my dehydrator and slowly dry them before I try to figure out the best way to separate the husks from the stem.

This seems like a lot but in reality will probably only yield a quarter cup of husks if that.

I foraged these from a park but am curious what is the dark brownish jelly I found in one? ( it kinda looks like a jelly coconut thingy). I think the white ones are unripe

Growing up in Seattle I’ve seen salal my entire life, but only learned it was edible in recent years, and finally tried it this weekend. I was staying in Oak Harbor, Whidbey Island, and salal was covering the area.

I’d rinse and soak a handful at a time and found they were very blueberry-like. I dig em!

ID Request (country/state in post) Purslane or spurge?

Thumbnail

Found in Wisconsin, not sure which especially because of how green the stems are. No milky sap or anything, which makes me believe it is purslane but I have zero experience with either and little foraging experience in general, so I was hoping to get more information here.

I wanted to post these here since this is my first time making sumac lemonade. Are these clusters good enough to make the lemonade, I shook them out for bugs. I red the darker red they are the better they taste. Is that still accurate?

Or something else edible? Northamptonshire - England. Multiple trees in my local park. I’m guessing the same fruit at different stages of ripeness, but I’m new to this.

i go to the local hospital a lot due to my disabilities and while there likes to check out the local flora. there's a few mulberry shrubs that i like to see if they're fruiting or not, and i came to find out that they trimmed their mulberry shrubs. i'm a bit sad about it.

got a handful of mulberries though, some maybe sour but i like it even then.

I have a part of my garden I’m letting run wild mainly because I was curious what weeds would grow in it. I believe I had Canadian lettuce but I did not see hair on the mid rib of the leaf. Also curious as to why pests wouldn’t touch it but eat everything in my garden??
