free bee foods, close to home?

[markio26]

i was thinking.. my frugal neighbor down the street has been out gathering herbs, etc.. then i saw her with dandelions... does anyone have any dandelion recipes?? she said they are good nutrition.. holistic food. you can steam or boil them, add garlic, olive oil and cheese.. you can fry the blosssoms... you can make a salad..add vinegar and oil. pick the young shoots only... the stems are inedible and are milky... i was wondering what other foods are free this time of year, in the wild, so, to speak????

Do a googlesearch for wildcrafting. I know of several people who wild craft on their properties (they have like 20 acres).

my neighbor said she looks for honey.... wild berries, various greens to eat.... she said some bugs are good too....

we have free berries, some greens growing in a field next door to us... our neighbor gives us free produce and nuts at the end of summer.. jellies too.

We got some free fish (dh cut some) and some free berries (picked by me), I want to go there again, and get more, so maybe if we will have that for every day, we can stop buying meat, fruit and juce, then we can cut our food budget in half. Just a want...

we have wild garlic like onions till growing in our yard... our property used to be a wine orchard... we still grow grape vines on parts of the property...
