edible plants

heya,

so as i am practicing my IDs when is it safe to go ahead and use the plants as the book recommends? i have peterson's edibles, not newcombe's yet. i feel like newcombe's guide might give me a more positive identification...? yesterday i found some wild anise and some spicebush. when making tea from spicebush do you use the roots or the leaves or both?

has anyone else been playing in the woods? do you have a new appreciation for your environment at home?


have a nice weekend,

claire
