I'm in northern Kentucky, just across the river from Cincinnati.
So, how'd u start posting to CU ?I'm not familiar with any instances of how wild and conventional plants would complement eachother, but i am familiar with the three sisters(corn, beans and squash). I do know that i won't be planting aggressively growing wild plants in the main garden- i'll be planting strawberries in their own "private" garden, and i would never plant any mints, wild or conventional, in the garden neither.I ate some weeds raw on the spot, like yellow wood sorrel, lambsquarters and lady's thumb. I dried the curly dock plants for later use.
Wow. Sounds like u know a bit. Would be cool to be able to know plants' names and 'behaviors' by sight and feel. Got to connect my ideas with practical action---3 of the 4 H's: head, heart, and hands. Very satisfying to bring those aspects of being together. Relate ?

I've got to say, I love looking at and playing with milkweed, but I sure don't want to eat it. Just on an intuitive level it says "non-food" to me.
But then again I feel the same way about artichokes. Not for eating.
And while we're on the topic, I'd just as soon rather never LOOK at Rose of Sharon or hibiscus again :) They're all hairy and sticky and don't look right in Ohio IMHO.

I always said no to Milkweed as food, but the more I read from others who were eating Milkweed flower buds and pods, the more my stomach has started to have it's say, lol. Haven't tried it yet neither though. What's fine for some doesn't work for others. I may try it some day.

Hibiscus is okra's cousin - and Okra ain't so bad!
