KYratshooter,

S'all good. Figured so. Yet headed anything off at the pass, just in case.
Y'all seem real laid back here. Plenty of humor as well. Breath of fresh air in my world.
Is your confusion because of the milk like sap? Milkweed (appropriately enough) is milky and edible just as dandelions are.
Remember the rhyme "leaves of three, let it be" about poison ivy? Jack...

I've been harvesting Wood and Stinging Nettles bare handed, eating the leaves raw or cooked, for years. The stinging hairs are on the underside of the leaves so pinch from the top. The uppermost two...
Picked up the habit of chewing from the base of the stem to the flower by watching cottontails. Starts out slightly bitter then finishes on a nice note that way. Kind of noodle like when I boil the...
