raphael262 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Absolutely !!! There are loads of edible plants that we have forgotten about in our rush to eat veg from Israel, Portugal etc., etc. Whenever I can I try to get my meat and veg that is all from local places to support the farmers rather than imported food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mat Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Aha we will see if I can or not later when I try It not as easy as some people make it look! I drive tractors most days as part of my job and thankfully i dont have to have anything to do with straw trailers! Some of my colleagues find it hard enough to back a normal trailer...

FalconFN Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) They are nice, sort of carrotty-parsnipy-nutty, but I think you need permission to dig them up nowadays. Edit, pignuts not trailers. Edited June 2, 2014 by FalconFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit, pignuts not trailers. its a brainless task digging them up ...following the rizome eventually ending up at the nut...often see them in wildflower meadows....
