  • Wondering About Weeds
    Mar 25 2026

    Welcome back to Walkin' on the Wild Side! This episode of our podcast is a "mostly Marvin" podcast, as Gabrielle and I have both been very busy, but haven't had an opportunity to get together for a podcast! Since Spring is, well, springin', I was wondering just how many folks realize that there is a supermarket in their own backyards. Many of the household, so-called "weeds" are actually some pretty darn delicious edible plants with nutritious benefits, and many are referred to as superfoods. Rich in vitamins and minerals, these plants have been safely consumed by generations. Join "mainly Marvin" for this podcast as he wonders about weeds, and learn a little about many of the common but maybe not well-known plants that can be consumed.
