MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD, OREGON
A GREAT STORE IN A GREAT COUNTRY
All spring long our good friend, Marie Bosworth, ha
been urging Potpourri to write something about all the ed
ible plants that grow abundantly in Jarkson county. So,
when she discovered that Photographer Bob and Naturalist
Odd Bjcrke had collaborated on a page of pictures about
such plants, she offered her list.
Some of these natural food plants were known to Mn.
B. because she was reared in this county, and learned about,
them from family and friends, and others vere noted in the
writings of botanists and naturalists.
The Bosworths live on a farm on the Appicgate river,
and all these plants are to be founds on the farm.
She lists as salad plants malva, filarce, miner's lettuce,
watercress, sorrel, dandelions, chicory and mint. Plants
which may be cooked - often called "pot greens" are lamb's i
quarters and pig-weed, and of course, many cook dandelion
leaves. Mrs. Bosworth also makes a tea from the tender
tips of wild blackberry plants, mint and strawberry-using
the leaves about 5, 5 and 1 proportions. She flavors this
drink with honey.
Malva has a geranium-like leaf and is called chcf.se weed.
It has a mild flavor. Kilareo, which looks like a tiny fern,
she says is "delicious" in salads. Miner's lettuce, which many
enjoy, is succulent and has a sharp flavor. Watercress,
which grows in running water, has a peppery flavor and is
considered by many to be a delicacy. It is lioth a salad plant
and a pot herb.
Sorrel leaves are tart, and dandelions, which have a dis-
linctive flavor, are better if the leaves are picked before
the plant flowers. Many cook dandelion with bacon or pork
pieces.
Chicory has a flavor which resembles endive, widely
used as a salad green. This also should he used when the
plant is small. Later the plants have brilliant blue flowers
which are. gorgeous.
This is Mrs. B's list - probably others would be able to
add to it.
Photographer Bob, Potpourri, Marie and FB had a fine
friendly argument about pig-weed and lamb's quarters. Two
said this is it - the other two said no, you have the plants
mixed up. And guess what - our book "Handbook of North
west Flowering Plants" by Helen Gilkey, says they are vari
ations of the same plant.
Mrs. B. said, "Please find another name for pig-weed-it
sounds so terrible." Well, here is the
chenopodiaceae. We'll just go on calling it pig-weed. An
other common name for the same plant is goose-foot.
Last week we read - somewhere or the olher - that
Premier Khrushchev enjoys going in the water at I he Rus
sian resorts and seashore spots, but that he cannot swim.
So he goes in anyway, but wears water wings.
Potpourri read this twice, and then again and suddenly
we laughed and laughed. Imagine, half the world scared
to death and trembling in its boots over a man who wears
water wings! O. S.
