Ming Arelia - how to eat it?

Hi! I see multiple sources that say 2 things - 1 is that it is used in traditional medicine as anti inflammatory and anti bacterial. 2 is that it is not edible, or that only the young leaves are edible, and the older leaves may cause vomiting. Does anyone have a reliable source on if I can eat the leaves? It's growing a lot of leaves, for a bonsai type of plant xD Thanks.

Edible spikemoss

I didn't know spikemoss was edible, but according to this article, it is. At least some species:

"In Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, Nan and Phrae provinces, the young leaves of Selaginella argentea are relished in a dish called kaeng om and villagers collect them in the wild to cook as food or to sell in the market. In Thai, S argentea is known as pho kha ti mia (merchant beats wife). No matter how long it is boiled, the leaves remain crisp and look uncooked, and as the tale goes, a man beat his wife for serving what he thought was uncooked food, hence the Thai common name."

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 :)

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?
