Hmm... I found the bible for edible plant today!!!

Dear readers,

As I had mentioned in the last couple of posts that I am going to learn to be a food gatherer of the wild nature. I need to learn to identify and prepare all the wild plants so I don't get sick or worst, poisoned by the plants that I will be consuming. As I doing research online, in the library and book stores, I had found the bible of edible plant today.
