Attending a ramp festival or two always has been on my to-do list, along with going with someone to find and dig them. We'd also pick up pecans on the weekend. Our trees and all over the county.
We only messed with walnuts once, though. We had yellow hands for weeks.
I've been keeping my eye on a couple of pecan and walnut trees around here that are on public property or private owned by someone I know. Going to see if I can pick them up this year. Friend of mine in Minnesota is a walnut fanatic. He got some green ones this year and pickled them, and also is making some kind of walnut booze.

'Huntress says I graze around our house more than our livestock does! I'm constantly finding and eating berries and other wild fruit. I know where the best patches of sassafras are, and which are white sassafras and which are red, and if you walk around our fencelines and treelines, all of the cat briars always have the tops and tips chewed off...that was me, too!

The tender shoots of catclaw or smilax, is really tasty.

I was in northwest Illinois this week on work and the property had some wild apple trees. Small apples with a tart flavor. They were wonderful.

better watch out!!Investigators said they got a 911 call from the club about the woman, but the caller said the woman wasn't a threat. Chatsworth police officers found 87-year-old Martha al-Bishara on the property when they arrived. Police said they ordered Bishara to drop the knife and then shocked her with a Taser. Family members shared photos of Bishara inside her hospital room with WSB-TV’s Richard Elliot. When Elliot stopped by her home Tuesday, her family said she was doing well. “She’s recovering, you know. Still a little sore from what she’s gone through,” nephew Solomon Douhne said.

Police used a taser on an 87-yo woman cutting dandelions with a knife?
Damnation. I'd be madder than two wet hens if I was her family. That's a complete lack of common sense.

Wasn't including fish and game in this. We know about hunting and fishing. Great stuff. I forgot about cattails and dandelion. Have had both. Cattails are kinda tasty. Most of the foraging my granny and paw paw did had medicinal purposes. Rabbit tobacco, ginseng, wild honey, yellow root, vetch, oxalis, several more I can't remember. They had a natural cure/remedy for tons of common ailments. Some of those I remember from reading the Foxfire books. Always loved those books. Maypops, blackberries , muscadines, wild plums I never knew the Maypops were edible. Maypop ia what HAWAIIAN PUNCH is made from... was very surprised to learn that.

I love chanterelles in soup. Elderberry pie, jelly and wine are great too. We ate a ton of poke salad when I was a kid. We found wild honey bees and transferred them into hives. Of course I’ll never forget all the berry picking....huckleberries muscadines blackberries elderberries dewberries . Was great growing up that way and wouldn’t trade it for anything
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be
