A FOOD FOREST TAKES TIME TO CREATE. IT'S A BIG JOB, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF GROUND TO COVER.
You'll find it growing wild in meadows and disturbed areas. It flourishes on our land and you can see dots of white absolutely everywhere right now. There are daisies in my raised beds, vegetable gardens, flower gardens and all throughout the meadow. This is such a cheerful sight and it brings me a lot of happiness and hope that they'll come These are three Comfrey plants that started the size of our thumb last spring. A year later they are already huge! Now the plan is to keep dividing the Comfrey so that we can have many more plants throughout the garden.
For most people you don't have to wander far to find these wild treasures. Many common garden "weeds" such as dandelion, chickweed, and purslane are nutritious edibles. Our ancestors knew this, in fact, a lot of the plants that we call weeds were introduced by early settlers.
As YOU STUDY WILD EDIBLE & MEDICINAL PLANTS ASK PLENTY OF QUESTIONS
Are they edible and/or medicinal? Do they thrive in a certain type of soil? What are their preferred growing conditions? Boggy, wet, loamy, rocky, dry, shaded, full sun, acidic and so forth.
If you photograph, take notes and study these plants then over time you'll develop a great sense of the story behind what grows underfoot. You might just find yourself rejoicing in an abundance of dandelions.
