Wild onions are all over a lot of yards. They can be used like regular onions, except for being a bit stronger. They are already in my yard, so I don't have to plant them. There are a lot of other wild plants that will grow in your yard without having to plant them. We have pokeweed (Phytolacca americana). Eat the young leaves only. Oxalis is a poisonous plant, but the oxalic acid makes the leaves sour. You can sprinkle a few on a salad with no ill effects. I chewed on leaves when I was a child, and I'm still here. If you want to get high, there are varieties of morning glories whose seeds can do the work of LSD if you consume a quantity of them. We even have some wild strawberries, but I hear there are some that are poison. Back in the 1960s, we had neighbors who ate them.
Everyone should look into natural wild plants in their area.
Most people today can't recognize even garden plants, so you can plant some along ditch banks in your area and not worry about someone else eating them.
We have blueberries, figs, black walnuts, and pecans. All of these were already on the property and old the first time I came here over 40 years ago.
There are plenty of books. Online resources need to be printed out and put in binders. I did this decades ago.
