I took a look around my home, in the yard we have pine trees but like molly I would have to make sure they were not poisonous, I have purslane growing in a couple of flower boxes, my husbands hostas yes,some hostas are edible I am learning how to use it, two apple trees, down the road about a couple of blocks is a stream with fish, plus the park pond near the house that has frogs and fish. Unfortunately the cat tails may be polluted by run off and pesticides the township sprays around the park. There is a trail that goes thru the township that has a lot of “wild” plants. I just haven’t been able to get out and REALLY scout the area.. We have a couple of wooded areas near us that may have oak trees for acorns and other things we may be able to use. I lost all the plantain I was growing because the young man that came to do the spraying/fertilizing pulled it out and put round up on the flower boxes I was growing it in, he was taking our usual persons place while he was on vacation and evidently didn’t know he wasn’t supposed to spray there, I didn’t catch him in time to prevent the “carnage”. I’ll have to re dig all the dirt out of the beds and replace with clean soil in the spring and start all over again but that’s part of what I have been learning. We also have rabbits, deer and squirrels running around this neighborhood. Unless most of the people know how to catch them we may have some meat on the hoof available. University has farm animals and gardens that produce a lot of food but I suspect IF any of the students are still there they would be wasting the resources there. I have an idea on a stealth garden off site but I haven’t fleshed out the details on how to accomplish this yet. PS I have been using the purslane in our salads and DH thinks it tastes good
