Well, I'll try again. <br />Adrienne is the book I've carried since the 70's and used in every part of America- from the Florida panhandle to California and north to my homestead. When I found her book, it was about the only book out that didn't have simple black and white pencil drawings- remember, there hasn't always been an invigorated desire to know about eating weeds in this country.<br />The pictures are paintings/pen and ink rather than photographs, but still easy to recognize. She lists the plant, it's look-alikes, the edible and non-edible varieties, which parts to eat and how to cook them. As a bonus, she has a section on medicinal herbs, their appearance and use. <br />Another book I find fairly useful is the Tom Brown series- though his pictures are the ughly pencil drawings- though his logic behind them is good thinking, in that he'd prefer the interested person do more in-depth research on the plants, almost to the point of becoming a scientist. That way, one really knows the plant, as opposed to Adrienne's style of "this is what it is and how you use it."<br />Good hunting and foraging.<br />Shy IIIShy Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708293970831678927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642610323379842202.post-44328522378529003482010-09-03T07:54:22.129-04:002010-09-03T07:54:22.129-04:00Yeah I guess I should of said books on midwest!Goo...Yeah I guess I should of said books on midwest!Good point.Thanks for help.<br /><br />China<br />IIIchinasyndromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085960000175006256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642610323379842202.post-43478775894705771742010-09-03T01:45:37.483-04:002010-09-03T01:45:37.483-04:00Amazon has a great feature where you can view rela...Amazon has a great feature where you can view related books.<br /><br />I think I remember you live in Indiana so I would look for books that focus on your area, note that the books listed except one are focused on the Rockies where I am based.<br /><br />Reading over the books there is a lot of info not in them that I know would be listed if it were focused on a location like Texas for example.Radio Blogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07816224325858221577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642610323379842202.post-23424793589093901572010-09-02T21:49:44.618-04:002010-09-02T21:49:44.618-04:00Thanks Radio,much appreciated!!!
