Yay for wild geraniums! I eat our local wild geranium pretty regularly in the spring. It's the Dovesfoot geranium (Geranium molle). It's really worth collecting and eating, especially in a pot of mixed cooked greens! It seems inefficient to pick the leaves one by one, but if you can pull or cut the whole plant and then it's easy to strip off the leaves and get a good mess of them pretty quickly. I blanch them for a few minutes, but generally less than 5 minues. I then take them out the water and finish cooking them in different ways. One of my favorites is to sautee them with some onions and home-canned tomatoes. Yumm! Enjoy your local wild geraniums!

Great, what a nice food formula you've shared! Greens with onions and tomatoes, mmmmmmmmm that sounds good. We're big fans of foraging and wildcrafting. Nature is so abundant!
Yep, the plants around us have so much to offer, if we just get to know them better. They are waiting for us to recognize and understand them.
Exactly~
If were to just honor the natural bounty our lives would be so much better and you and I are a testament to that!
May humans remember how beneficial nature is and the blessings it bestows!
