Nothing beats wild blackberries, nothing! If she can't take a joke, she'll just have to miss out on one of life's greatest pleasures. I too collect wild plants to eat. Most of them grow right in your garden disguised as weeds. I have the first "spinach" in my town (lamb's quarters) Shepherds purse makes good salad greens, along with dandelions, I know that pigweed is a palatable green, but have yet to try it as by the time it comes out my garden is giving me all the greens I need. Purslane is an aquired taste, but if you can eat okra, you would probably like it. Wild asparagus is right up there with blackberries for a real treat. Currants, chokecherries, the list goes on. Euell Gibbons wasn't fooling and his books are pretty good for identification too. One treat that surprised me was very young wild horseradish leaves, if you can catch them before they turn fiery. Anyway, thats one way to deal with we3ed problems.

Then there is Bitter Sweet. Bitter when you eat it and sweet, just before you die. Bitter Sweet is a nightshade, and poisonous. Tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant, and huckleberries are also nightshades, and poisonous too. (the foliage, and in the case of huckleberries the fruit also) Yes you probably have some poisonous plants in your garden.
