WHO KNEW??? So interesting!

I have only just begun leafing through this book (now at pg 54 out of 273) and am very surprised at all the plants I recognize, although I knew nothing about them but characterized about them as a nuisance in my yard and garden! I actually thought I was 'up on plants', but now see the surprising truth of my lack of knowledge. Although I am somewhat overwhelmed at this point in time, I know now that I can safely forage in my own backyard and have little to no concern about the quality of the plants harvested.
