Are these gourds edible?

I got these as the supermarket but only realised afterwards they’re called “decorative” gourds, are they edible?

Pest control on exterior of home with a veggie garden

Hi all - I’m curious if anyone has had to use pest control for their home and what you’ve used to keep your edible garden/compost safe. My partner’s home is covered in huge spiders. We’ve used some peppermint oil as a repellent but they are just reproducing en mass and I’m wondering if we should have a company come spray but she’s understandably concerned about how that will impact her plants. Any advice is welcome :)

How many northern red oak, black walnut, and sugar maple trees could provide two adults enough food to "live off of?"

Looking into ordering and planting some seedlings and planting them on my property, and I'd love to have trees I can make foods out of.

When I say live off of, I don't mean as our only source of food, but we'd try to utilize them as much as possible and preserve them throughout the four seasons.

Are all marigolds edible?

I have quite a few of what I am fairly certain are French Marigolds, though I don't know what specific cultivars. I have read varied and conflicting information on several websites, including university extension services, that either say: they're all edible; that only certain kinds are edible while others are toxic; or that all technically have toxic compounds, but nothing so strong as to cause a reaction for humans.

What do you recommend about this?

I recently discovered that cacti (some) are edible. I wanted to taste their flavour, consistency, smell their aroma. But I can't find any at the supermarket and I don't think there are any supermarkets that have them. I wanted to know which one is edible and which one is not.I did a little research and saw that prickly pear is one of the types that is used. Don't blame me, I'm completely ignorant on the subject I might have said something stupid...maybe even two The main question is should I go to a botanic shop and buy one ? And in the specific which type ? I mean, there will also be some inedible prickly pears.Right?

Is this squash/gourd edible?

I’m not sure if it’s a gourd or a squash. Only know I had to cut them down due to overgrowth

figs and wasps

Eastern side of Zone 7b. My fig trees have been fruiting for a few years now but this is the first year that wasps appear to be eating them. I've battled birds, squirrels, racoons, and other critters to grab them just before ripe. But this week I have a lot of wasps I have never seen before on my property, eating from the ripe figs.

How can I control this naturally?

Rhus Typhina vs. Rhus Coriaria

Hello everyone, I live in France (Paris) and I'm a huge fan of the spice sumac. I've been wondering for quite some time if the type of sumac we find here R. Typhina would be as edible as Rhus Coriaria found mostly in middle east. Is it just a culture thing that we don't eat ours or is the taste completely different? Or even slightly toxic? Here is a picture taken within the city of Paris.
