is to harvest wild greens:
On Orcas,
I had an abundance of Nettles and dandelions
In Sonoma,
pigweed and mallow where in glory
Coming to Austin,
things have been slim
except that one garden plot at the Sunset Valley Community Garden
was full of my old friend:
pigweed,
aka,
wild amaranth
Imagine my surprise and delight to discover a magazine
called Edible Austin
in the summer issue of which
had a full page spread on the glories
of eating wild amaranth;'
Here's the link: Eat Wild
And here's the glorious "weed" itself.
Mix in some soaked sunflower,
pumpkin,
almond,
flax seeds
and a little Celtic salt,
and sweetener:
honey, fruit, stevia, agave
and you have a high powered,
super nutritious feast in your hand,
soon to be in and nourishing
your body
