Title: Books or other resources for learning about edible plants
Post by: jamesfromseattle on March 22, 2020, 08:54:32 AM: Never done any foraging (except for mushrooms) before, but would like to get into picking greens and whatnot. Would appreciate any recommendations on books or field guides that are good for the local area. Or any other advice on getting into the plant foraging game?

Just open the app, take pic of the plant and that smart guy inside your phone tells you all about it. The app is "Picture This Plant identifier. Haven't used it much but pretty cool so far.
