New to SE, and totally addicted!!!
So as soon as spring turns things green here, and all season long, I love to add things from my yard to our meals as/if they are available. Dandelion greens and flowers, lemon clover, wild onions, chicory, etc. I grew up doing this and think it is normal and yummy (chemical-free yard). A few years ago my MIL heard about me doing this and actually thought we were so broke we could not afford food and so I was feeding her son weeds. :)
I have some friends who are good with it, but I get more odd looks and lectures about "grazing".
I love going to other places for wild berries, mushrooms, herbs etc. too, and I have a standing agreement with one of the pocket parks to let me gather dandelion flowers...but guess how many times I have to answer "what are you doing?"
Tired of being thought strange...so, anyone else enjoy and gather the tasty stuff from outside?
