Quoted By:
Michigan has an abundance- we don't have a very long season for growing, though. More winter and fall than spring and summer it seems. It starts with maple syrup in early spring, then we get the morels and leeks, beefsteaks, other edible mushrooms, some of our fern shoots are edible, cat tails, lilac, clover, chicory, dandelion, rose hips, all kinds of berries- wild grapes, strawberries, blueberries, black berries, raspberries- asparagus, spring beauty, spearmint, catnip, wild carrot. We have many medicinal plants- St. John's wort, Mullen, raspberry leaf can be used in a tea or tincture, yarrow to staunch bleeding, plantain as a pulling herb- to remove foreign objects from under the skin. That's just off the top of my head, there are a ton of plants worth gathering around here.
