I’m landscaping my backyard and have been trying to tuck in as many edible plants as possible. A few years ago I purchased plugs of red veined sorrel, the raspberry vinegarette variety specifically.
Ive read that it’s supposed to have a wonderful lemony tartness, and I’ve had wood sorrel so I’m familiar with THAT taste. However, the red veined sorrel I actually purchased as a perennial green is so bitter I can’t bring myself to swallow it!! I understand that younger leaves are more tender, but the flavor is absolutely terrible regardless of season. So what’s up? Is it just terribly overhyped? Maybe I should try French sorrel instead? I’m convinced that what Ive been growing is not meant to be consumed… HELP!!

Landlord asked me to do some weeding, so I gathered some mallow to snack on and collected some dandelion flowers to make something with. Any ideas on what I should make?

We received this dry plant as a "gift" from a restaurant in Sicily. I assume it's oregano, but it smells sweeter (maybe marjoram). Is this edible? I didn't think to ask the employees at the restaurant.

I bought this at the thrift store awhile ago and I thought it would look cute to have on the floor and plant cat grass for my cats in it. It’s a large shallow metal bowl/saucer. I left it outside and it started to oxidate and turn green, and I’m worried this could be harmful for me to grow edible cat grass in it? Does anyone know?

Google says they're edible and you can make it into a jam but I only see jams of the red hawthorn variety. As long as I boil them and strain the seeds they should be edible right?
