insane to me that we introduced autumn olive to be decorative and now they're fucking everywhere and choking out native ecosystems and people don't even know you can eat them
#not that eating them would STOP them but like. you know. a lot of wild edibles you should be conscientious about harvesting#but you can should and must overharvest autumn olive#garlic mustard is also edible (AND digging it up [to eat it] is actually useful) but that's part of why it was introduced in the first plac#as far as I can tell autumn olive was introduced for a variety of reasons but human consumption wasn't really one of them#anyway I dunno it's insane to me how many extremely normal very common plants are literally food and nobody TELLS us that#and especially wild when it's plants that are considered-- rightly or no-- some kind of problem#dandelions are like.... imagine if your lawn just kept sprouting spinach. just all year long no matter what you did#you can EAT them things!!! in lots of different ways!!! and people just don't KNOW that!!!#anyway eat autumn olives they are beautiful and tasty and highly invasive#about me
