RE: An Early Spring Homestead Weed Salad - 16 Wild Plants and a Foraging ID Quiz - 2018 Wild Salad Series [1]
Hmm dandelions.. used to add the greens to my smoothies when we lived in Belgium! And the flowers work amazingly against nettle stings.
Yay! Another fan of the dandelions! Putting them in smoothies is a great way to appreciate them! I didn't know that about the flowers. I might run some nettle experiments this spring, lol. :D
Yep takes away to burning itch. At least it helped for me... hope it wasn't all in my head. My dad always made things better with dandelions when I was a small kid and went picking nettles with him in the forest. Ohh btw we have some mushrooms growing in the garden right now.... not sure if you can eat them... they don't look too tasty hehe. They turn black very fast it seems!
Those mushrooms are so cool, @amy-goodrich! They look like a Bolete, with that sponge underneath the cap. But there are a lot of different Boletes, lol. Some incredibly delicious and others that nobody should be eating. It would be fun to key those out, but who knows what are the tropical boletes - not me! But boletes are so cool just to look at and good for your soil and plants!
Going back to Khmer lesson and hopefully, we get better in the language so we can go on foraging trips with the locals and learn about what to eat and especially what not to eat. Have a great day!
