A decent compilation of edibles to be found in nature. There are pictures, it would be better if there were more pictures of each, as in: sprouted (if you're planning on moving the sprout to a new location- sprout leaves don't always look the same as adult leaves), without flowers or buds, with fruit/seed/nut, and what they look like when they die back. Because some look vastly different with each season. Outside of that this is pretty detailed for all its brevity on each option. You will want to do further research on side effects, as in nettles are a good forage but not recommended for people with pancreas issues (pancreatitis, diabetes, ...) and those who are pregnant.

As a total novice with only a passing interest, I enjoyed the insights and visuals.

a good entry to foraging but lacking in useful photos and missing out important details
