Wild edible plants and weeds

I went out to eat this morning with my little girl. This home school lesson included how to identify edible plants and weeds. We had a great breakfast right in our own yard. We had Dandelions,lambs quarters,sweet violets,pineapple weed,red and white clovers and honeysuckles. Wow what a breakfast! Never felt so good and the price was just right. FREE. I am studying the wild edible plants for the whole family. We will be learning how to identify correctly the wild edible plants that are available to us for free. Full of vitamins and easy to pick. Learn your wild edible plants because the day is coming that you will have to survive off the land or you will not survive at all! Also learn to identify the poisonous plants so you wont mistakenly eat one!

Baby Love Birds Are Growing

We took the baby birds outside to enjoy the sunshine and here is a pic of one of them. They are getting alot bigger and now have almost all their feathers. They love to eat and are so sweet!

Sunshine

A little sunshine peeping through the clouds today. It's been very windy with lots of rain. I wanted to get back out and go mushroom hunting but the wind is going to have to die down alittle before I take the kids out in the woods today.

Garden time

Got the garden tilled, ready to plant seeds today. According to the almanac it is time. The kids are ready. They enjoy planting that garden! If I can just find a way to get them enthused about pulling out the weeds when they pop up we will be doing great!

Indiana Mushrooms

Went out mushroom hunting again and here is what we found! I have cut them in half and rinsed them a few times. Now I will soak them overnight in salt water. Tomorrow we eat mushrooms! Yum Yum!

Mushroom Season

We made it out into the woods again yesterday and this time we found 4 mushrooms! So in the next couple of days they should be popping up like popcorn! Warm air is moving in so I am sure the mushroom woods will be calling.
