M-P:
I think I'll start another thread on seed saving/ seed exchange. In the mean time... Jamie I've got chickweed all winter and purslane all summer, but right now it's a little late for one and early for the other. Ron

aint enough wild organic cows in my backyard to support me ;D
Interesting quest Jamie, looking forward to seeing your progress throughout the changing of the seasons.
Pat B:
Jamie, have you thought of writing an article for PA magazine? I know the Medicine Man series covers a lot of what you are doing but I think an article from ones own perspective and personal experiences would be a great addition especially with a month to month perspective.

kicking back with some ginger and chaga tea. rain today and tomorrow so work is light. gonna go see if i can get some nettles in the pot. go dig up some daylillies too for tubers and greens. thinking of plants to come im really looking forward to cattail shoots and milkweed shoots. ate a couple of handfulls of bedstraw today with wild onion. also found a nice batch of last years groundnut vines. dig some of them up later when im doing some fishing and roast em with trout.
ron i love chickweed in the salad or on sandwiches. i use em like sprouts. if youve followed any of my other food posts you'll know purslane is one of my favorites.
justin if you find a field of organic cows growing let me know ;D
pat i have thought about it. i think steve and the cook guy cover it very well though and im not sure how much i could add. especially as im strictly northeastern. back on the old message board several of my month long endeavors ended up in one of our members e-zines.
