I was surprised by how small this book is but now it makes sense! A fantastic resource to keep close at hand, in a pocket or bag. I recognized 90% of the 'weeds' mentioned and I'm horrified by how many of them I've pulled out of my garden unknowingly. I'm not a sprayer but I've seen family members cover these edibles in toxic chemicals - eek. So interesting to think through what makes a weed a weed. Such strange and unfortunate gardening rules and trends that can blacklist such amazing plants. So much free, nutritious goodness going to waste. I borrowed this from the library but will keep an eye out for a copy to call my own and look forward to exercising it's advice around my neighbourhood. The recipes at the back are really helpful in putting foraging into practice.
