Get out there RIGHT NOW for morels. Other local specialties include pokeweed, pawpaw, persimmon, and several species of nut. Plus you've got great panfishin'! Good luck.<br /><br />Laughblog - I hear that.

I've been seeing a plant that looks like a cross between watercress and bittercress growing out of the cracks of pavement in alleys. It tastes just like watercress but spicier and it has yellow flowers.<br />PS: I found a gigantic morel today!

Whether you are in the city or country, you will find it. Some have big leaves, some have small ones. Restaurants here use it as a micro green.<br /><br />Oh and I got your book as a Christmas present. Loved it!<br /><br />If you Chris Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245725548840511649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-14275823010521281702010-04-02T07:46:41.541-07:002010-04-02T07:46:41.541-07:00it seems like that weed is available year round in...it seems like that weed is available year round in seattle. and Ive noticed in my nibbling that some seem more bitter than others; but I guess that might be due to the season when pickedbellevueriverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952887801493889470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-69531869765166683272010-03-31T08:19:22.184-07:002010-03-31T08:19:22.184-07:00Like my Hot Springs grandma always warned, look ou...Like my Hot Springs grandma always warned, look out for the chiggers!<br />~Kate (arky gal back in Seattle)KateLaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211130805696621043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570890979467369384.post-86811454392932232062010-03-31T05:27:25.500-07:002010-03-31T05:27:25.500-07:00Wow, Fayetteville!
