plant diary
jamie:
bob the young greens are edible. as it gets older they get a little tough. flowers and flower buds are also edible. be prepared 1 in 4 people get a laxative response from the flower. flower buds can be used like okra. tubers are my favorite part. ground nut, day lilly tubers, burdock root and leeks make a great soup when pur'ed. or served on the side with meat.

Jamie, my plant book also said, the tubers also can be alittle laxitive so don't eat to many at first. Yep they are a little laxitive, not bad considering i ate a ceral bowl full of tubers lightly salted an boiled just till tender. I just fiqured that my systems is used to plastic an chemicals that it couldn't handle real veggy. Also I'm not even close to 21 when I could eat glass an it didn't bother me ;D ;D. We had snow again today so I'm not sure when are nettles are going to be ready >:( >:( >:( Wished you could make it to the classic I got a lot of Paleo Questions for you about your 30 days of foraging.

I snack on raw day lilly flower buds as I work landscapes during the summer. Some are quite spicy tasting.
