Ramps are popular in the spring in WV. Some have ramp dinner/festivals.

Attending a ramp festival or two always has been on my to-do list, along with going with someone to find and dig them.

I've been keeping my eye on a couple of pecan and walnut trees around here that are on public property or private owned by someone I know. Going to see if I can pick them up this year.

Friend of mine in Minnesota is a walnut fanatic. He got some green ones this year and pickled them, and also is making some kind of walnut booze.

'Huntress says I graze around our house more than our livestock does! I'm constantly finding and eating berries and other wild fruit. I know where the best patches of sassafras are, and which are white sassafras and which are red, and if you walk around our fencelines and treelines, all of the cat briars always have the tops and tips chewed off...that was me, too! smile

I was in northwest Illinois this week on work and the property had some wild apple trees. Small apples with a tart flavor. They were wonderful.

Tender, new growth of greenbriers tastes like asparagus. I eat them when I find them.

I’ve eaten and used wild onions to cook. I also enjoy a little honey suckle nectar. I used to impress my friends at the beach by eating coquina clams. I also remember going to a little creek in north alabama to collect either watercress or water chestnuts for a salad with my grandma.

better watch out!!



Investigators said they got a 911 call from the club about the woman, but the caller said the woman wasn't a threat.

Chatsworth police officers found 87-year-old Martha al-Bishara on the property when they arrived.

Police said they ordered Bishara to drop the knife and then shocked her with a Taser.

Family members shared photos of Bishara inside her hospital room with WSB-TV’s Richard Elliot.

When Elliot stopped by her home Tuesday, her family said she was doing well.

“She’s recovering, you know. Still a little sore from what she’s gone through,” nephew Solomon Douhne said.

Police used a taser on an 87-yo woman cutting dandelions with a knife?

Damnation. I'd be madder than two wet hens if I was her family. That's a complete lack of common sense.

I forage almost everyday on my morning walks. I love gathering up wild plants, berries and mushrooms for food, jellies and medicinals. I'm really big into Mycology and mushroom foraging. The Chanterelles and Boletes are flushing wide open in Alabama right now. I make natural medicines using lots of foraged wild plants like Maypop, Mullein, elderberry, white oak bark, Violets, etc.... I made Sumac lemonade just today.

I love chanterelles in soup. Elderberry pie, jelly and wine are great too. We ate a ton of poke salad when I was a kid. We found wild honey bees and transferred them into hives. Of course I’ll never forget all the berry picking....huckleberries muscadines blackberries elderberries dewberries . Was great growing up that way and wouldn’t trade it for anything

You serious Clark? I noticed we've got vines hanging full of fruit in several spots around one of our hay fields Saturday.

Was just talking about this with my dad and mom. They both graduated from WVU and said they both have gone to some festivals. Said you could smell em' sitting there, smell em' being cooked, and dad said you could smell em' when you were sweating them out walking around rofl
