Cast Iron Garden : From Forest to Skillet: Edible and Native Plants in the Cross Timbers of Oklahoma. 773 yard species and counting!

Mom and Dad kindly invited me to visit Chickasaw National Recreation Area with them this weekend. The cats get a rest from Briar’s ideas.

The Chef has found the way to pull the deliciousness from the persimmons without too much seed trouble.

This is one of our favorite native grasses!

I haven’t been good at blogging lately but Paula rightly insisted I document her harvest!

The Chef and the Paula prepared a sumptuous meal tonight.

Physalis cinerescens grows wild in the backyard and I’ve started moving cuttings of it to new places.

We ran out of dried lemon balm for tea so I snipped a few more bundles to dry.

I love fall flowers!
