Granted I do not live in Arizona, but it seems to me you would do well to learn from the indians and learn about what they used to eat like some forms of cactus, etc.!
Yes, that is about all that grows here, this year, maybe there has been enough rain for the wild mustard to grow and I like that and some of the weeds.
Here the cattails are now on the old mines ponds and that I do not mess with.
I am not a fan of cactus pads, but have friends who are.
Welcome to the thread.
