I feel like I need a 'foraging mentor' - do you know anyone? Oh, and you are more than welcome to bring your girls out for a run in the fields (and a cup of coffee for you) whenever you feel like it - just drop me a line, it would be great to re-connect with you!<br /><br />Rebecca,<br /><br />Good call about the shades of green! (How appropriate, coming from the Greeniac herself!) <br />Do you actually grow the lambsquarters in there on purpose or are they 'weeds'?<br /><br />All the best you two, and sorry about the huge delay in response!<br /><br />xoxo MarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05827718321802434964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437530886114278864.post-50297415341895421162010-06-16T21:14:07.499-06:002010-06-16T21:14:07.499-06:00Hmmm... that plant doesn't exactly look like l...Hmmm... that plant doesn't exactly look like lambsquarters to me... they're usually a little more blue green in color.<br /><br />Which reminds me... this is totally off the topic, but I fear my margarita is setting in... anyhow, when I started to do graphic design I discovered that there were about a zillion more shades of green than any other color. I did some research and discovered that the human eye can actually see more shades of green than any other color. <br /><br />If you've spent much time in a garden trying to find the beans/peas/cucumbers etc. amongst the leaves one starts to develop a keen appreciation for this ability.<br /><br />I'll try to take some photos of the lambsquarters in my garden and send them to you.<br /><br />xoxoxo<br />RebeccaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437530886114278864.post-5831490517505685912010-06-16T17:26:07.295-06:002010-06-16T17:26:07.295-06:00You are very lucky to live on such a large area of...You are very lucky to live on such a large area of land--I am jealous!! One tip about wild mushrooms coming from someone who used to pick them with my Dad. Even though certain ones are safe and edible, different people react differently to them. My Dad can eat black morels, (which are a delicacy) but they make my mom quite sick. Wild mushrooms can be like that, so before eating a lot of them, or feeding them to your little guy, I would try a small amount first! Best of luck with your foraging!!jaims_1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10102746137214336189noreply@blogger.com
