Chocolate mint · Common hackberry · Watercress
🗓 Season: September · October · November
🔍 When is it ripe?
Small, round berries turn from orange-red to dark purple-black. Ripe when dark and slightly soft; sweet, date-like flavour with a hard seed. Persistent through winter — a valuable wildlife and emergency food. Eat fresh or dry and grind (seed included).
Food growing all over the park! Hackberry trees are all over- several along the edge of the woods, between the parking area and the playground, and a couple along the creek's edge! Watercress, Ladie's Thumb and wild Chocolate Mint growing in the water or along the bank of the stream! At least one Black Raspberry cane spotted in the woods; surely it is not the only one.... : ) : ) : )
