The wife & I are getting back into foraging. We have let our yard grow a little wild before mowing it in the next few days. I just finished walking around & nibbled on plants, I recognize as edible, but not their names. Mainly wood sorrel flowers. We grew up calling them 'lemon flowers' because they taste like lemon. & the neighbors stared at me from their back deck like I'm possessed. 🤷😅

I wonder if "wild wheat" is made into bread? Would it be tastier than farmed wheat made into bread? ... Misha

“The hill is paved with wild wheat. If the conifers and sagebrush are soloists, the wheat field is a corps de ballet, each stem following all the rest in bursts of movement, a million ballerinas bending, one after the other, as great gales dent their golden heads. The shape of that dent lasts only a moment, and is as close as anyone gets to seeing wind.”

(This is a lengthy article on how GMO crops are handled in the field prior to approval). Having worked with unapproved GMO corn, we used to burn the fields to prevent this. This is something that USDA should actually be overseeing. This is the main problem I see with GMOS in the US -- the assumption they are safe (even when common sense suggests otherwise). First Starlink corn, now GMO wheat on the loose and the whole dicamba thing. Really, we should easily be able to do better than this.
