Blueberries


It's amazing how much food is growing wild in the city. There's a house about 3 blocks from my apartment that has mint growing wild. I, unfortunately, didn't get to have a fresh mint mojito this year. I waited too long and the plants went to seed but maybe next year. In the avenues, there was a house I use to raid. They had dill growing wild in the front yard, that would spill over into the sidewalk. It was great with chicken. Currently, it is my neighbors house that I get food from. They have a large blackberry bush. It's right next to the alley that leads to my apartment. And thanks to them I had a great big blackberry cobbler. Now that's what I call eating local.
