Nope, but I still like them. BTW Gypo isn't Alaskan although the woods in his dooryard does look quite similar to the woods here.

And here I thought this was about the sticky icky. ******* hippies!

English muffins a staple of the Alaskan diet?

I got one for you.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantago_major
I am a beekeeper and was reading recently about plantain as a treatment for bee stings. I plucked a leaf and scrunched it up until some juice was flowing and rubbed it on the sting area. Almost immediately the pain subsided and my thumb never did swell.
There it is for what its worth.

My grandmother told me that she had heard as a young child that if you ate a leaf a day, it would help prevent reacting to Poison Oak. If i were smart, i would cultivate it, and try it for several years, just in case...

Haven't had spruce gum in decades.
Remember Grandpa showing me how to look for a select wad and carefully removing it with his knife then picking small unwanted bits off the outsides.
Eaten what we called "Maine bananas", fern root and in the spring fiddleheads.
Chanterelles, morels, "pink bottoms" and young puff balls.
Dandelion greens & young milk weed leaves.

Smallis for mostly 4 prongs. They came out of real rocky soil, I imagine thats why. They sure are a chore to get out of that hard pack black dirt full of granite.

Anyone know the trick to knowing where ginsing is not at? Whenever you see an old drink can and a sardine can sittingon the ground. Lol

Those stony rocky hard black dirt sites make for roots with good character though

big trouble with people harvesting on private property and parks

The most disheartening thing is when you find a big patch early in the year get it set on your GPS and you go back to dig it and the dirty prick's dug every last one. Even the seedlings.
