| Hi this is my first post on this particular form.I was wondering If some of you could help me pick out some Edible plants, Im a wine maker and enjoy tea And trying to find some not so common edibles like flowers, wild plants,even some different berries,and fruits I might not know about.So please post some links or pictures If that is alowed.Some of the only information I have is from wild man Steves web page and jackkeller.net
I think I should add that Im from Illinois and respect nature so I don't want to grow anything invasive, but If you know of somewhere I can order certain dryed ingr. of invasive plants that wont be a problem. Thanks allready I've learned from some of your posts even though I havent had the time to read alot most of them yet. |

| pfaf.org is no longer viable. Haven't paid the fees to their server. Also may have gone bancrupt as a permaculture-related enterprise. |

| My Mom always grew Jerusalem Artichokes. The flowers are beautiful and the tubers can be harvested even in the winter, they are actually better left in the ground with a mulch cover. They are hardy and multiply like crazy. |
