Not sure, but pretty sure that all Greg M's are completely encouraged to answer for each other here on Permies!

I know I encourage it.

The 3rd Thursday of September is national pawpaw day.  I put a reminder note in my pocket to go squeeze some of my pawpaws  when I get home to see if any are ripe here up in Maine yet.

M.K., thank you for sharing this method.  What variety was the one that took the deep freeze the best?

Flora, by Alan Bergo is another great foraging cookbook that applies very well to perennial food recipes.  I love it!

I've been getting into my copy of Forage, Harvest, Feast by Marie Viljoen recently.  What an amazing cookbook for permaculturists.  I'm always shocked that there are so many great foraging books for what I think of as permaculture recipes, but I can't really find anything labeled as permaculture cookbooks that are focused on perennial foods.  I desperately hope this will change.  Is permaculture just not as "cool" as foraging in today's society?

Marianna, have you noticed much difference in the quality of the leaves from cultivar to cultivar?  Do you have favorite parts/uses?  One of my local nurseries has a lot of varieties of Rose of Sharon and their end of year sales are coming fast

(don't judge me, I'm from Maine)

I went to a seafood disco last night....and pulled a mussel.

When making butter, there is little margarine for error.
