Finally, the first salmonberrys have ripend..

I love these berries... They are the first ones to ripen here in the Pacific Northwest of North America. For me though they mean a whole lot more than just that fact..

It means the start of somthing great. Over 40 types of wonderful food will be available for me to consume, natures gift... I will have to pay no money for fruit,greens,tubers,and much more....

All that is needed by me is to walk into the forest a few hundred feet from where I live. The best part is over 25 of the edibles people brush off as somthing poison, or they dont event realize they can eat it, and how tasty everything is they are missing out on...

 

unimpressed

I can walk 300metres down to our local creek and eat the tadpoles.... mmm natures gift

 

tadpoles, umm.... Thats intresting (if you are being serious?), ive never heard of people willingly seeking thoes out to eat before..
How do tadpoles taste in your opinion?

 

coarse I am being serious.
They don't taste to bad... when I was a boy of 9 me and my friend would spend our days down at our local creek eating tadpoles. However if you don't like the raw taste you can always fry them

 

Cool man, that sounds like some great times you had enjoying the hunt for tadpoles. And if they are a tasty treat, thats a plus as well..

 

mate you better believe it
not as good as the native bluetounge... they were for the more special occasions though

 

fuck you. i want to be back on the west coast. are the salmonberries really ripe already?
they really are the beginning of the summer wildcrafting.

 

I had a few the other day!

 

SL I can understand how you could miss BC. I live in Ontario and I am constantly missing the east coast even though iv only been there * many times through out my life* to visit the G-parents. Ontario isn't very.. nature-esque :/

 

OGD wins

 

Lies. Up north there is tons of nature

Or have you forgotten our romantic trips to the waterfalls

 

It's hard to imagine you being romantic

 

Seriously. I actually agree. wierd

 

Im not sure about up in B.C yet, but there is alot of large red ones already down here around Vancouver, Wa....

I know some people though who like when they are that pinkish orange color, but to me they taste incipid unless they have turned red, or mostly redish...

 

since a lot of edibles don't grow where i live, i planted an orchard on my family's land. in 3+ more years ill have all the fruit i could ever want

i wish i could scavenge in the forest for food. the only thing around here is blackberries, native blueberry(nasty), and sassafras

 

I'm growing herbs and aloe vera and a shit ton of flowers right now but I want to eventually have a whole garden wif tomatoes and cabbage and berries. it is definitely impossible to scavenge here

 

Right on zilla, thats a perfect example pic for salmonberries...:cheers2:

 

I'm in rural Oklahoma, we harvest tornadoes here.
