Good news! A new season of the Wild Edible Notebook is here, one full month ahead of the planned start date.
This first-ever May issue of the Wild Edible Notebook features curly dock (Rumex crispus), examined both in light of its edibility and its designation as an invasive species, in a piece I wrote originally for Eat the Invaders website. Then I interview that site’s creator, conservation biologist Joe Roman, about his invasivore project. Next comes “My Boyfriend, the Liver Fluke,” a lighthearted take on the touchy subject of those creepy crawlies who might be invading your watercress (Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum) right now. There’s a wild edible poem by correspondent Brad Purcell, a recipe for dock enchiladas by the inimitable Butterpoweredbike, and a handful more cooking ideas for dock and watercress to boot.

wow, with the coming uncertinty of the world at large, I feel like I need to learn more about what brenna aned I will eat when money becomes worthless. I studied anthro at fort lewis durango 10 years ago. We went to hopi land and I learned alot. Unfortunately, I have not been so tenatious in enlarging my plant vocabulary … But I have been eating lambs quarters and other local salida plants….if you could send me your letter I would really like it… I believe that recient events in american diaspora will make this information invaluable.. thanks much
