Review: The Complete Guide to Edible Wild Plants

As I told readers in the past, I recently received a couple of books to review. We’ve been using them for a while, evaluating them in a couple of different ways. While I’ve been looking at their layout and content in general, Michelle has taken a more practical approach, consulting them first when she has a reference question, and keeping track of whether or not the books have been able to answer her questions.

First up is The Complete Guide to Edible Wild Plants, by the Department of the Army (check your local independent bookstore, or Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.).

Sun Spot

Some people call them “sucker holes,” patches of blue sky in a sunny day that get the “suckers” out on the water. To me, that implies that one can only get outdoors on a sunny day, which is, of course, ridiculous. But, last night, a sucker hole formed to the west of us and shone like a spotlight on The Mountain with No Name.
