Foraging wild edibles is a confrontation with Nature in all its glorious fickleness. Sometimes Miner’s Lettuce just can’t be found. Was it deer? A drought? Overharvested last year? A new drainage drying the soil? Insects? Foraging, like hunting, attunes the body, mind, and spirit to life cycles and seasonal change. It’s still the most direct-connect to plant powers. Foraging is a skill. How much can you harvest without subverting next year’s supply? Is the fruit ripe enough? Is the root large enough? Is it endangered like American ginseng? Is it a poisonous look-alike? — Peter Warshall -- part contents for background part 28 ----- text ----- • WHOLE EARTH • HEALTH • GATHERING FOOD • Wild Edibles -- part contents for background part 29 ----- text ----- 04030313 -- part contents for background part 36 ----- text ----- card id 24851 -- part contents for background part 38 ----- text ----- stack "WHOLE EARTH" stack "HEALTH" card id 29918 card id 54894 -- part contents for background part 33 ----- text ----- card id 54894 -- part contents for background part 34 ----- text ----- card id 27262 -- part contents for background part 35 ----- text ----- card id 23949
