And in addition to that!

Don’t throw those old Red Wing work boots out after you wear them out, they will make a complete meal for some misguided granola crunching vegomaniac that considers their lawn as a food source.

Polk Salad here in Tennessee.

Grows everywhere and is still eaten by many folks here.

I have a 10,000 sqft vegetable garden growing right now. I figure with the deer and rabbits it will attract, it will also give me an alternate source of meat.

On top of that we have several dozen wild blackberry and blueberry bushes on our property. It is all well shielded from view from the road. So I am not too worried right now about veggy poachers.

I know an older lady who, during the depression would take the streetcar to the end of the line, walk to a field and pick baskets full of dandelions. Her mother would then sell them in the family store.

Dandelions were brought here as a food crop?

What part of a dandelion is edible?

I myself love those little mushrooms that grow under the cow paddies. Great alone or in a salad, but wash them first is my advice.

While I was young, I ate Polk Salad (Needs to be cooked and drained at least twice.
Picked and sold many Dewberries (some times called Black Berries).

The best jelly in the world is MayHaw, (it grows wild in East Texas).

And aside from weeds some garden variety plants are edible: Nasturtium A good addition to salads

My father always said that a weed was just an unwanted plant. Since he didn’t give a crap what grew in his yard, he never had a weed.

Sorry, I only eat $175 hamburgers. Because I make a lot of money and I’m proud of myself, so I only deserve the best.

Another good thing about them, my cousin says they make excellent wine. I never had any since Grandma was not allowed to make it at our house.
