One of my favourite patches of plants is by a busy street in a used car lot. I don't harvest there obviously, but I love seeing the dandelions, lambsquarters, purslane and Shepherd's purse growing lushly between the car tires. :)<br /><br />daltxguy, I love Toby Hemenway! Am definitely watching this in my free time today.

(It's a video about permaculture primarily but he builds the case for why foraging is so engrained in our being )<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nLKHYHmPbodaltxguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14921862950638747363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094253214225998105.post-56568615048655067632013-01-20T14:32:11.154-05:002013-01-20T14:32:11.154-05:00I love your descriptions of your connections with ...I love your descriptions of your connections with the wild plants! Although I'm not in a place where I can easily experience such things living in an apartment in Los Angeles, I do treasure the time I get to spent around nature and the plants in my life. I feel so much more connected to life and calmed by the cycles constantly in motion. I love the moments when I find a publicly accessible food plant - nature is providing one of our most basic needs! <br /><br />Personally, there is no way I can stand in a giant redwood forest and not feel tiny and overwhelmed. Then I look down at the tiny blankets of moss below and I am amazed by the variety of scale, shape & sizes of plants right next to one another. As I see insects and birds interacting with it all, I am overcome with extreme respect for the way the cycles in nature work to bind them together and sustain each one.Mhttp://unboredhands.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094253214225998105.post-77265223110697284942012-12-12T10:27:43.158-05:002012-12-12T10:27:43.158-05:00Thanks for the feedback!

There must be some blogger.com setting that would enable you to publish full posts in the feed to save us google reader lazybums from having to click the mouse once in order to visit your site each time we're notified of a new postJ.G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094253214225998105.post-742192395212043532012-12-11T13:04:14.492-05:002012-12-11T13:04:14.492-05:00I think it's fantastic that you can find beaut...I think it's fantastic that you can find beauty and the divine in "a pile of roots". I'm glad I clicked over from Google Reader! <br /><br />I'd really like if you published full feeds. Only the title popping up informs me that you've published a post. Sometimes I click to read it, sometimes I don't. If it was published in full, I'd always read it. :)Chloenoreply@blogger.com
