Oh you brought back memories, Lee Anne, first of My Side of the Mountain where that stubborn little boy runs away and lives off the land, and second, of course, of Stalking the Wild Asparagus by Ewall Gibbons. I never ate anything i gathered in the wild myself, but it is a romantic idea I have.
I too have been trying to gather and or find edibles in the woods behind my home and you made me smile and give me warm feelings. I remember many a day going with mom for wild Rhubarb in Conn. on vacation at our summer home, to come home and watch her chop and cook it up then spread it on toast with our eggs for breakfast.
Thanks for the memories.
Wonderful article.. the cattails brought back some great memories, and I have a favorite place to hunt my wild asparagus(I do this each year as well, lots of irrigation ditches out here and tons of asparagus)
