This week I found salmonberries, wild strawberries and bracken ferns
Salmonberries and strawberries are in the rose family. They both provide edible fruits and have other ingestible parts of the plant as well, but the benefits don't stop there. The bracken is a very common fern at least in the inland northwest but it's not just pretty to look at in lush green settings. The root can be used as a starch to make dumplings or a glue. The imature plants can be roasted like asparagus when they emerge plus much more. I know this video didn't post until Saturday(major fail). This time however it's not the fault of my off grid homestead. I changed phone plans temporarily and don't have unlimited data so I have to upload when wifi is available. Please UPVOTE, REBLOG and FOLLOW!

Are the people who gang-rush into Walgreens in San Francisco foraging for
medicinedrugs? 😝Maybe "urban foraging"? 😂🤣😂
I did not know that about strawberries, the sunburn business, and I've never seen salmonberries, but just today I identified thimble berries here in NYS. I wonder if the bracken fern can be used for worms in our pets.
Fiddlehead ferns are pretty good. It's lovely that you have so many of those on your property.
There is so much food in the woods!
Nice road!
Glad to hear you found some thimbleberries. Maybe it's worth a shot trying the ferns and worms with the pets.
I agree I'm always so impressed with how much food I can find just wandering around.
Amazing! I love that the starch of bracken can be used in such a way. If I am honest though my favorite part are the berries, so excited for our berry season to roll around!
Salmonberries tend to fruit early, even before thimbleberries, around the same time as huckleberries in June. The tender shoots are edible, but there's not much meat on them, and blackberries are by far the better shoot. On the caneberries bearing thorns, it's necessary to peel the skin to remover the thorns, and that process doesn't leave much of salmonberries to eat.
I was unaware that bracken was edible. I was told the spores were toxic and carcinogenic by someone somewhen, so I never considered it for a food, although I reckon when they're fiddleheads they're not sporulating.
Thanks!
